First-born child
Oldest children tend to be leaders. With an inclination toward following social norms, they tend to find success within established boundaries. And they take responsibility, sticking to the rules.

First-born children are more likely than others to marry their childhood sweethearts. They are also the more likely to stay in relationships that aren't working and try to fix things. If your soulmate is a first born, you are in a relationship that has a good chance of lasting a lifetime.

Well, I'm curious from my ex's who read this -- is this accurate?

And, also, what about you? Do you find it accurate? I know I found it moderately so.

I'm not an ex, per se. However I do think there's merit in the observation (fortune, whatever).

it certainly is interesting. my (oldest) sister steps up to the plate amongst the three of us, but I'm not really aware how much of leader she is.
however, she did marry her sweetheart (college. not highschool), and I think both god and violence would be required to separate them.

Well, you're probably not going to marry your childhood sweetheart :P

Well, I'm a first-born child...and I'm not a leader and I'm anyting but a success. And since my ex is a first-born and he cut out of our relationship like a bat out of hell, I'd have to say it's fairly inaccurate, at least in my experience. :P

Hmmm, I agree with the part that a first-born will stay in a relationship that's not working and try to fix it, I'm first born and I've definitely done that. However, the idea that the first born marries there (childhood) sweetheart is iffy to me. It would be nice, but my relationship history says otherwise. Either way, it's a cool observation.
