Anybody have a recipe for happy marriages.

Mine is
A cup of respect
2 cups of humbleness
1/2 cup of creative
2 cups of compromise
2 cups of love
4 cups of God
Teaspoon of forgiving
1 1/2 cups of keeping like it was before

If I'm not mistaken, that is what Angela Basset and Courtney Vance does.

That's my plan, if I ever decide to get married.

Yes, that is their arrangement. And if I ever fall and bump my head and decide to go against all sense of reason and get married again, I will also have the same arrangement. I am so serious about maintaining separate residences.

Ok.......How will that work?

You call him on the phone, talking seductive, "Hey why dont you come next door and hook your wife up?"

He comes over, you do your thing. You tell him to get his clothes and get out?

While I think that you marriage would definately work (no issues about house work or who left the toilet seat up) I think that the relationship may play out like a really committed boyfriend.

Could you be happy with that type of arrangement?

I used to say this all the time. Right now I can't see it because I'm in love to a sickening extent, but I sure can resort back to it if we get married and he's on my nerves!

I feel you on this!!! I look forward to the evenings he's in class or the weekends he has to put in a few extra hours so I can have the house all to myself. My time to ack a fool in front of the mirror and prance about the house like a ballerina. But I ain't gonna lie, I can't stand it when he's outta town and i'm home by myself at night. I can do it for a few hours but overnight, I miss him dearly.

It works the same way it works with a boyfriend. Do you kick your boyfriend out if he comes over and you are intimate? I think not. It really isn't a difficult concept. And, clearly if I am promoting it, I would be more pleased with it than a traditional marital housing arrangement.

LOL, I'm for real Pham. I wouldn't have it any other way. Just like the pre-nup I would demand, this arrangement would be non-negotiable.

A pre-nup?

Just a rhetorical question for you: How can a woman say to a man (or vice versa), "I love you", when you are hedging your bets? Isn't pre-nups by design the antithesis of love?

That is one thing I have never understood....
