Dear WIFE 22 Reader,

Congratulations! We’re happy to inform you that you have been selected to participate in the Netherfi eld Center Study—Marriage in the 21st Century. Thank you for your interest in our study.

You may fi nd some of the questions atypical. Some are not about marriage per se, but more of a general nature (about your background, education, life experiences, etc.); please strive to complete all the questions. I suggest you fi ll out the questions quickly, without think-ing too much about it. We’ve found this kind of rapid-fi re response results in the most honest responses.

Feel free to share your responses on Facebook and Twitter, and we encourage you to pass this marriage survey along to your friends.

Sincerely, Researcher 201
