Similar Personality Traits Help Relationships Succeed- Irene Valenti Recommended Read

In an article published in TODAY online, Dr. Gail Saltz, a New York City psychiatrist and regular TODAY contributor wroteabout the strength in similarities when it comes to love and succeeding with the odds:Relationships take a lot of work and compromise to make them last.
