Do people usually marry someone of similar morals?

[Anonymous]

I had a conversation with a coworker today. She said: evil people tend to marry other evil people. Good people tend to marry other good people. Because good and bad simply are not compatible and do not mix. Sometimes you see people remarking that the husband is so nice but the wife is so mean. But trust me, they are both pieces of shit. In order for a relationship to work, both of them must agree with each other

I would hope that people are very careful in the selection process of finding a mate. But good and evil is a simplistic way of framing the problem. People can be...

• Stupid.
• Naive.
• Low impulse control.
• Selfish.
• Horny.
• Overwhelmed by emotion.
• Desperate.

Or yeah, they can be evil. And a naive person can be misled or manipulated by an evil person. So, evil always finds evil is once again a simplistic / stupid way of viewing the world. It's never that simple.

Yes, people with similar morals partner. The single most important thing to me in a potential partner is whether I believe they are a good person, reflecting my moral values.

Not necessarily.. some marriages end in divorce. In life, people meet, marry, and form friendships with various individuals, but ultimately, they remain with those who share the same values ​​and morals.. for birds of a feather flock together…

In the ideal world they do, but some people are pretty stupid when it comes to choosing partners.

Two narcissists are probably not going to marry each other LOL

Narcissists tend to marry givers

Mostly. People tend to seek a partner who's emotional stability matches theirs.

I know many couples where I like one person a lot and don't like the other person, so I end up not being able to hang around with the person I like.

It seems like a good idea.
