In the classic rom-com ‘When Harry Met Sally…,’ one of the characters quips, “Everybody thinks they have good taste and a sense of humor.” That’s largely true — but a new study discovered that people who actually do have a sense of humor may have a much easier time finding a mate.

Courteney Cox and David Arquette’s high-profile marriage may have ended in separation last October, but the two are still close enough to be working on a sitcom together which will be about — what else? — the ups and downs of relationships.

Who needs a magazine to tell you if your relationship will last especially now that there is the Relationship Research Institute in Seattle.  This place does exist and they have qualified scientists and  all they do is research relationships.  How interesting is this?  Dr. John Gottman founded the RRI, and he says they've identified the three signs a relationship has long-term potential, and the
