My name is Lewis Reining, Bard College freshman, and I'm currently working on a study about marriage. I'm wondering if anyone would be interested or if anyone has any ideas as to how to get people to participate. I'm looking at patterns between couples who first met online/offline and their ages, incomes, marital happiness, and other things of that nature. It's an anonymous survey, and there's a consent form along with the survey that explains everything in detail. I guess, I'm really just lost as to how to approach this problem. I need individuals who are willing to take 30 minutes or so of their time to complete it and send it back via email...but everyone thinks my request is just spam. If anyone has any ideas as to how to demonstrate this isn't spam, or if anyone is interested, please either post, pm, or send an email to arnfasta@yahoo.com. Thank you so much for any and all help, best of luck to all of you; I'm in a long term engagement myself, so in a few years I'm sure I'll be asking for advice again.
