"Keep your marriage boring"

[blueguy]

Yet another article written by some nutcase AFC who advises that your existence should be made boring to accommodate the stability of the marriage institution. Why am I even surprised when I come across stuff like this anymore? Are there really that many people out there who can't think even a couple of centimeters outside of the matrix? Wow...

I think it makes absolute good sense. Remember he is talking about how to make a marriage work.

Despite the picture, I think the good doctor is in fact a woman (or his wife forced him to write it) Why else write some dribble like that?

By "boring" the author is suggesting to avoid "exciting" situations like cheating, abuse, etc. He does not condone "action" dates or hobbies, nor does he suggest to avoid the strategies a DJ uses to keep his wife on edge a little bit. He doesn't really go there.

The reason why this article probably set you off is because of the use of words like "boring" and "predictable" but he doesn't use them in the same sense that they're used on these forums.

I remember an incredibly hilarious video of comedy by Chris Rock. His opening line is: "Yes, I'm married and bored out of my f'ing mind. But it's a beautiful thing. All good relationships are boring and the only exciting ones are bad ones. You never know what's going to happen tomorrow. You never know when you're going to walk through the door and say 'Hey, you gave me crabs!'"
