Birth Order Insights

This week I had the privilege of recording some programs with Dr. Kevin Leman. He is an insightful, highly engaging and humorous friend to have in the studio! While we didn’t talk about the topic directly, one of his “specialties” is addressing birth order and how that affects us – and our families.

I think it is pretty amusing to hear Dr. Leman talk to someone about their place in the birth order, and then go on to describe their personality and sometimes even specific characteristics of their mate! In fact, he shared with me that recently he was chatting with someone at an event, and Dr. Leman told the fellow that – just from their conversation – he had determined the man is a first-born, married to a last-born. And he was right!

Here’s a blog entry at the Wall Street Journal about birth order and marriage in which Dr. Leman is cited. Check it out – and be sure to see some of the reader comments, too.

If you’d like to learn more, watch this video of Dr. Leman talking generally about birth order; get his newly updated classic about the subject; order his book, First Born Advantage (which is on sale for a very good price); or go to his official website.
