For me, the culture of a place would be more important than the weather. My husband and I have lived in a small town in Ohio for nearly 30 years and we have nothing in common with anyone around here. We are looking forward to retiring in the next 2 years and moving to a more urban environment where we can share some interests with others. It has made our marriage strong because we are each other's best friends but it would be nice to go out with other couples now and then and have some common ground for a conversation.
