Go camping together before marriage

From an article by Betsy Wade from an unidentified American clipping monitored for the Institute by Roger Knights.

Here's a piece of advice I feel would keep my friends from contracting any more doomed marriages: 'Never marry anyone until you have taken an eight-hour train ride together, learned his/her temper in the morning and gone camping together for a week.' (I feel that this rule covers all possibilities, including covert alcoholism, deviationist toothpaste-squeezing and mismatched politics.)
