Kathleen's Take
Marital dynamic doesn’t seem to be out of a nice middle-America norm.
They appear to be solid and any rocks in their road are just gravel. Unless they are lying to us about their beliefs and communication style, they will perk along.
Do they give us any indication that they have racing skills? Nope.
I see no reason at this point to predict that they will last long.
Probability for fireworks, drama and screaming at the TV? 1 out of 5.
