What are two keys to any successful relationship?

We’ve all heard that a key to a successful relationship is having things in common. Others argue differences are important to a healthy, stable relationship. Regardless, the best way to know what commonalities and differences you have with someone is to get to know them well. Who do you know better than a sibling you grew up with? Yet there are laws preventing the marriage of siblings and cousins in “the land of the free.” There’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to marry anyone who mutually agrees to marry you. Hell, wed your biological parent for all I care! You already know these family members well—fully aware of all your similarities and differences. Problems only arise when you consider reproduction. We must understand, though, that reproduction is not an obligatory follow-on of marriage. For that matter, marriage is not a prerequisite for reproduction. Royalty of many past cultures married and procreated within the family to “keep the bloodline pure” or simply maintain power within the family. That spells trouble, though, as it would have if we all descended from the fabled Adam & Eve—which I’ll delve into next time.
