[quote=Anonymous]"Mental illness" has become so broadly defined as to be devoid of meaning in most cases. Many of the behaviors that people now describe as mental illness are actually issues of character, personality, and personal choice. It's extraordinarily hard to be a good person and good partner, day in and day out, over the course of decades. It's almost impossible to predict which people are capable of doing so in the face of life's temptations and challenges. The best that you can do: 1. Make character and values your #1 criteria in evaluating a potential partner. 2. Do not make a long-term commitment to anyone until you've seen them demonstrate that character over a significant period of time, and in the face of significant challenges. 3. Pay particular attention to their responses to adversity in all forms. [/quote]
