โIf your marriage is getting stale, start a feud with another couple. Nothing restores marital solidarity like having mutual enemies.โ As a Senior Staff Writer at BuzzFeed, I cover real-life stories that explore relationships, lifestyle (including travel and beauty), and the internet's most fascinating trends. "Along the same lines, but our rule is kind of the opposite:ย If one person feels strongly about a specific way that a chore needs to be done, that's their chore now. My wife wants the laundry done a specific way, so she does the laundry. I want the dishwasher loaded a specific way, so I do the dishes." "We've done so much stuff this way. Double-dates to speakeasies and magic shows; standup comedy; special restaurant reservations; so many concerts and house concerts. Readings, gallery openings, friends' screenings, etc." "My spouse and I both do this; it's fun when we both do it without telling the other one, which means we get two days' worth of treats!"
