Many couples tend to marry someone outside of their birth-order. But what about the scenario where people of the same birth-order get married? Dr. Kevin Leman talks with Jim Daly about when middle children and babies of the family get married to each other. Then, Erin and John discuss why it's important to not assume your spouse is a certain personality, based on if he or she is a first-born, middle child, or youngest.
