My wife and I have a flawless system for deciding what to watch on TV.

I suggest five shows, she vetoes them all, and then we watch whatever she was already planning to watch.

We thought we were being frugal by having the wedding at home

Until we had to take out a second mortgage to accommodate the guest list and the therapist for my mother-in-law

We wanted a small, intimate wedding where we could really connect with our loved ones.

Then our families submitted their 'essential' guest lists, and now we're sending out save-the-dates for a medium-sized music festival.

When my wife and I were dating, we'd spend hours having deep, meaningful conversations about our lives and dreams.

Now, most of our communication involves a series of interpretive grunts about whose turn it is to empty the dishwasher.
