Psychologists have developed a classification, through which you can analyze your own marriage.
To determine the type of your marriage, you need to understand which letter corresponds to its characteristics.

These letters, taken from the Latin alphabet, are very symbolic: their lower part means the beginning of the relationship in marriage, and the upper one indicates their perspective. So…
Type I is one. On such relations say "perfect marriage". Having united once, the spouses do not part their whole life. Marriages of type I are the most durable and harmonious: husband and wife do not just go hand in hand throughout their life, but also keep mutual tender feelings.
Type G is a monotone. In a marriage of type O, the relationship moves in a circle, and after a while the spouses begin to feel uneasy about the monotony of their life. True, the impulse to introduce changes into one's way of life remains unrealized. Up take traditions, habits and laziness. Feelings in such a marriage are also dulled, so that the sparks of passion turn into a faint flicker.
Type H - parallel. Unlike a marriage of type A in a marriage-parallel, the convergence of the couple does not happen even in spite of the link (crossbar). For example, in such a marriage there live spouses who did not become closer with the birth of the child, but keep the relationship for his sake. Each of them lives by its own interests, observing "diplomatic relations".
Type S - the road to a dead end. Marriage of this type can exist for a very long time. But if the relationship is unpromising, then in the end they still freeze at one point and no longer develop. Both partners remain disappointed in marriage, although they do not get divorced. Often they scandal and find fault with each other over trifles.
