Great post and spot on! I’ll add one tangible. I tell young people thinking of marriage that if they cannot remember a time when their future spouse ever sincerely apologized for something, run, don’t walk from that person. They are narcissistic and will blame you for all the problems that befall them in life.

That is very true, Cuban Leaf! To apologize is to show humility AND it shows concern about the other person’s feelings. When someone (male or female) lacks that basic humility, they will do so the rest of their lives.

A-freaking-men. Two works I never heard my  ex-wife say in over 10 years of marriage was "I'm sorry". It's a key indicator IMO.
