No relationship expert here - I'm 28 years old and the longest relationship I've had to date was under 5 months, so take my advice with a big grain of salt, buuuut I've always firmly believed in the old adage "People who play together, stay together". Having grown up in a household run by a strong, committed couple… Read more

As a straight dude...I'm picking up that men have a lot of annoying habits and aren't that clean. I'm listening LOL. I'm fairly certain that I was guilty of the unceal toilet thing in my last relationship LOL. I have learned since the break-up that if you want to have a damn relationship work, you have to put your… Read more

Take a nice, good, long look into each other's buttholes. Whatever you do with that information/butthole from then on is up to you, but it will be an unexpected source of context from then on, i.e. "I can't believe we're arguing about the disposal/my needlessly amorous coworker/the dog's snoring, for Christ's sake I… Read more

Separate bathrooms helps a lot. I've noticed that letting hubby fall asleep on the couch and make it to bed when he's ready makes us both happy. I can't fall asleep cuddling and wrapped up in him because he's a furnace and he can't fall asleep without the TV. So he passes out on the couch listening to the History… Read more

I was just at a shower where we had to write marriage advice on a card. Since I'm a very single 20-something with a lot of dysfunctional failed relationships under my belt, I chose to write something to the effect of, "I'm a hot mess who is going to die alone and my corpse is going to be eaten by feral cats.

Oh two bathrooms for sure...but beware if that situation changes. We had two for all of our twenty years marriage until this past year, so alas, we took it for granted.

Came here to agree wholeheartedly with the blankets. The two blanket technology revealed itself to me at a hotel in Austria in 2011. At the base of the bed, two individually covered twin size down comforters were folded up when I arrived. I thought, "how odd? There's no sheet?" but then I realized that you don't need… Read more

I once flew into a tantrum and called the scrabble rules "inherently predatory". I realize that extreme competitiveness is a terrible trait, but yeah, we've implemented a "no more board games" rule.
