3. Choose a couple you know well. How successful is thier relationship? Use birth-order theory to explain and support your observations about their relationship.



     When I read Withers's article, the article was convinced, but I believe that the article which Withers explained about the good matches for people's birth order is unscientific. It is possible to people's good matches. However, it can not be a fact, and it would depend on people's own characters. For example, I know about a couple who are my sister and her fiance are the oldest child in the family. In the article, Wither explained that the oldest children sould meet people who are youngest in the family for couples, but my older sister and her fiance are seeing for five years, and they will get married soon even though they are the oldest child in the family. Of course, my older sister and her fiance are parental and responsible to me and my younger sister. Therefore, they have a lot in common. That's why they are seeing for a long time and engaged.  In my opinion, it does not matter to care about  people who are good matches with them in the birth order when people meet others seriously.
