 My name is Steven Spencer. I am a student at Seattle Central Community
College and I am conducting a study on relationships and what qualities
people may have that makes them stay together. I am trying to find a
correlation of qualities between couples in long term relationships
(defined here as having lasted longer than two years). I would like as
many couples as possible fill these out. I also would like as many single
people as possible fill this out as well, regardless of whether you've
been in a long term relationship or not, for contrast. If you are in a
relationship at this time, I ask that you have your partner fill out a
questionnaire as well and that you indicate in your e-mail which two
responses belong together before returning them to me. Thank you for your
help!

 Once again, I am conducting an study for my social psychology class
(working toward my Bachelor's degree in Psychology). Any and all help will
be greatly appreciated. All questionnaires will be kept in the strictest
of confidence. Also, please remember that if you are currently in a
long-term relationship, I need your partner to fill out a questionnaire as
well, and I ask that you somehow indicate which two questionnaires belong
together before returning them to me. Thank you for your cooperation.
