Still a Match?

After ten years of marriage, writer Gina DeMillo Wagner was worried. Too many friends, all married about the same length of time, were getting divorced. Her own parents had split up at the ten-year mark. She and her husband were still in love, she thought, but there were some problems that raised her anxiety.

So she decided to try an experiment. They would create profiles on a popular dating site and see if it matched them. That, she decided, would prove that they were still compatible. Or not.

Wagner's Washington Post article describes what happened next, and what the unexpected result really proved.
