So, cheshyre was doing one of those stupid livejournal meme thi

And one of the questions was describe your perfect mate and she wrote "Ian Osmond", and it reminded me of that study a couple years ago that happy marriages are based on self-delusion.

So I mentioned that to Lis, I said, "You remember that study a couple years back that in happy marriages, spouses rated their spouses more attractive, smarter, more interesting than they really were?"

"Well, yeah," she said, "of course. I mean, of course people would have to delude themselves that they had the perfect husband, since I'm the one who does."

"Yeah, that makes sense," I said, "I guess other folks would have to tell themselves that their spouses were as attractive as, say, you are. So I guess it makes sense that. . ."

Together: ". . . everyone else has to delude themselves that their spouses are as wonderful as you are."
