Do you consider how well your partner handles stress when choosing a mate?

* All the sudden you have a car accident. You are ok, but your car is trashed and your day has changed.. while you wait for police.

* You just lost 50% of your investment... minus $50,000! Yikes!

* The Dr. just called with an interesting test result.

* The pilot just came on the speaker and said "we lost a motor"... and you hear "oh sh$1! were in trouble" by accident.

etc etc.. life throws curveballs, right?

My wife rolls off issues so well, material things have little meaning. They are just things. Recent car accident did not phase her, didn't miss a beat. When my motorcycle was stolen, I just accepted it and got a new one. Just rolled with it. Some things and some people can roll with issues easier.

Some people are major drama queens... they amplify stresses.

Its a factor of how you view and perceive issues in life, what is important. Is this ability to handle stress something you evaluate when you choose a partner?
