My current generation (the 11th) is Penni and Coop. I thought they would be a good match (closest I could get to the elusive "Perfect Match"--she's a screenwriter and he's a nonfiction writer) but I guess not. They seem to be having marital problems. Coop loves to work and it's not because I have trained him to do so; that's just the way he is. Penni spends little time working and seems a bit of a free spirit.

I was really hoping for the rare triplets this time, but they seem to have stopped after three girls and it was like pulling teeth to get those. They argue every time I put them together and it takes multiple tries to get one baby. I've tried all the tricks I have found in this forum to help things along, but they just argue.

Also, this couple seems to have an aversion to taking care of their kids, which is funny because their profiles both indicated they wanted children. Neither of them want to fix a meal, even though I have rewarded them for doing so. I check the food storage and it never seems like theirs goes down. I've never had these issues with their "ancestors".

Has anyone else had couples that seem to have marital discord? Just wondering. I mean, Penni came from a good home with good parents and lots of fun siblings. Where did I go wrong????????
