Used in a sentence: "Just like has been done with birth order, where personality traits are evident when comparing oldest to middlest to youngest, etc ... I'm intent on creating a new industry around the concept of spousal order."
Admittedly, it needs to be bolstered by a meta-study of other multiple marriage situations (feel free to share your story should you be in this situation, either as one of the spouses, or as those whom the spouses raised) ... but here's my early hypothesis: first spouse is the first love, second spouse is the hot one that steals you away, third spouse is the match.com mismatch (note: for those of you that are of a certain age, feel free to substitute Parents Without Partners in place of the modern internet reference), fourth spouse is the crazy one who does magical things in the boudoir and fifth spouse is the spite wedding to get back at the fourth one because you've been inculcated into the crazy.
I see a series of books (with names changed to protect the guilty) ... and an appearance on Dr. Phil ... and maybe a lawsuit or two in the future (to that end, any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental) ... and publication in psychology journals. If only the vacation which I just began were longer, I could embark on this study in earnest ...
I LIKE THAT THIS IS WHAT GOOGLE RETURNS WHEN I SEARCH "SPOUSE ORDER":
