Knowing that Elisabeth Moss is a Scientologist brings the number of adherents to that belief system that I can stand up to a whopping two. (Sorry, but I will never be able to hate Beck.) #elisabethmossfredarmisenmarried...

It's wonderful that the church of Scientology gets some positive PR on the same day the Haggis letter is released.
Wonderful! and not coincidental at all! #elisabethmossfredarmisenmarried...

@funzette: Zing! I actually only just found out she was a Scientologist from reading an article about the Haggis letter. It did make me sad... #elisabethmossfredarmisenmarried...

Anyone else out there always kind of hope that Elisabeth Moss would end up with Dulé Hill in real life? #elisabethmossfredarmisenmarried...

@joannabobanna: Zoey and Charlie were such a cute couple, but I think that was largely because they were the kids in a group of adults yet both very intelligent and kind. I was sad when they didn't stick together. She'll always first be Zoey Bartlet. #elisabethmossfredarmisenmarried...

@remedios: But they DID get back together! In season six they went on a date and then were together at Zoey's birthday party. Then President Bartlett caught Charlie leaving Zoey's room in the middle of the night, leading to the awkward "If I did ask, would I have your permission [to marry her]?" talk...

LOL, I'm frantically trying to defend a fictional relationship. "Don't you say it didn't happen, don't you!" #elisabethmossfredarmisenmarried...

FWIW, I started to wane on Armisen with his horrible, tone-deaf Obama impersonation. He went from funny and creative to: Feh. #elisabethmossfredarmisenmarried...

Congrats! But, um, the whole gigantic age-gap knowing each other for just a year, she's a Scientologist thing makes me skeptical...

But, here's to hoping it works out... #elisabethmossfredarmisenmarried...

Isn't that the one-year anniversary of when Jon Hamm hosted SNL and the two met for the first time?

Yes, I am a nerd for knowing that. But I also remember that being the episode Amy Poehler missed cause she was having a baby.

Congrats, you two crazy kids. I'm generally skeptical about whirlwind romances, but you guys are adorable together. #elisabethmossfredarmisenmarried...

according to this i will never have a happy marriage, because i am volatile. i should give up now while i'm still young.

@bangers: But I think you can be volatile in a way that's respectful to the person you love. I assume you're not totally doomed, but I'm no scientist.

I kind of don't want to know if I'm going to last forever with someone.

Okay, I mean, if I were considering getting hitched to someone who was ACTIVELY HORRIBLE to me, I would want my friends to gently persuade me to knock that off--but that's not what I mean. I'm talking about the ordinary, day-to-day, generally supportive relationships that can last briefly or can last years.

I was with my ex for about six years. We had a really good run of it. We broke up last year, and that was it. If I'd known I was going to break up with him in 2008, would I have not wanted to start seeing him in 2002? I really don't know. However, he is a terrific person who taught me a lot about living, and I'm glad I spent those years with him, even though it wasn't meant to be forever.

I've been seeing another wonderful guy for the last several months, and I don't think I'd want to find out that he and I were never meant to be, either. I mean, of course we're still pretty early in this relationship, so no one's talking marriage (god no), but we like each other and I'd like him to stick around awhile. If some kind of formula told me that it wasn't going to last, I don't know if I'd work as diligently on my end of the relationship, y'know?

@tscheese: Thank you for this. I am in a similar situation--about two years ago got out of a seven-year relationship--and while I do think we should've broken up a year or two sooner, overall I don't regret the relationship and think it was important for my growth as a person.

Now I've been casually dating a great guy for a few months. I have reservations about whether I want to, say, MARRY him or anything...but day to day he is great and I think he improves my life day-to-day and I don't know that I want to be married right now anyway. But part of me is afraid that one year will become the next and then if we break up I'll be in that old situation of wishing I had the time back.

Is it okay to just enjoy myself for now even if I just don't know if a relationship may not last forever? Can't I just be happy for now? Or will I wish later that I'd spent this time finding "The One" instead of "The One For Now"? Sigh!

@TheNewJanBrady: I think that if you're enjoying yourself and you're nice to each other, you don't have to freak yourself out with weird expectations of what MIGHT happen if you end up together for longer.

I honestly have no idea if this guy and I will ever get hitched. I don't know if I'll ever get married to ANYONE, to be honest. Would it be nice to see this relationship grow that far in a few years? Sure, because I like having him around. But I'm not really thinking of it right now.

I don't understand how they can break down people into types like "validator," "avoider," and "volatile." I'm a mix of all three, especially when it comes to an argument. If the argument is going to be over something stupid and trivial, I'm an avoider, if it's something where you need to agree through compromise I'm a "validator" and if it's something that must go my way, I'm "volatile." But I guess this whole test is idiotic anyway, so I shouldn't waste too much time thinking about it.

@disco2000: The more I think about it, the more I think it's kind of smart as a predictor for divorce (but not a predictor for non-divorce or a happy marriage). Because if the couples KNEW they were being observed and were STILL assholes to each other, you can be pretty confident they genuinely suck as a couple. So in that sense, it makes perfect sense that it'd be so accurate.
