- Laurent Pujo-Menjouet’s model describes changes in romantic feelings through habituation, positive or negative events, a partner’s responses and a separation threshold.
- Rebecca Tyson and Guy Bodenmann stress that human relationships are too complex for a mathematical model to predict every individual course reliably.
- Pauline Kleinschlömer says marriages in Germany last an average of 14 years, while divorces are reportedly less common in rural areas and among religious couples, among other differences.
- Wolfgang Krüger considers relationship patterns partly predictable, cites a method developed by John Gottman and Julie Schwartz Gottman with prediction accuracy above 90 percent, and views kissing as an indicator of closeness.
