'Love-test' identifies newly-weds true feelings

Scientists have devised a new "love test" that they believe is a better guide to the success of a relationship than the good intentions of newly-weds.

The research suggests that a subconscious response to an image of a partner could be a useful predictor of marriage outcomes.

Those who had a negative gut reaction were more likely be unhappy several years later.

The study is published in the Journal Science.

The lead author, Prof James McNulty from Florida State University, says that the new test gauges the true feelings of newly-weds towards each other, rather than what they say to other people or even admit to themselves.

30 years on, a good partnership remains, that will do me just fine...

I see a policeman in Germany has been arrested for torturing, killing, dismembering and eating a chap he met on the internet. Some relationships just never work out.

And the Huns, they seem to love the old cannibalism game.

It probably goes back to Arminius et al, if not further.
