On Other People's Marriages

If you’re married, you should really hang out with other married people. Seriously. It’s an exercise in realism, it’s like going to couple therapy, it’s like learning by osmosis. It’s fantastic- you get an insight on other people’s relationships, and it makes you feel better. Instant Prozac for couples- really! It’s in general a good thing, but if you start hanging out with more or less the same people you will also end up witnessing bickering, retaliation, and even proper fights! It makes you feel SO much better!! You will learn that the husband-wife dynamics tend to be creepingly similar to your own, that the arguments are about the same things, that everyone else argues, fights, and have feuds while ending up sharing the same bed every night.

It’s seriously therapeutic…
