How to Ruin a Marriage.

Step 2.  Only Talk About Boring Stuff.

If you want to ruin your marriage, you need to believe that after the first flush of young love and honeymoon, you should work hard to be grown ups and just talk about boring stuff.

You know. Bank accounts. Overdrafts. Debt. Mortgages. Work. Home Repairs. Child rearing. Serious stuff.

Don't you dare have any fun.

Don't go on dates. Don't laugh. Don't seek any kind of pleasure, any kind of fun. Don't ever get away together, don't go for walks, don't watch a movie, don't just waste some time on a Saturday morning drinking coffee and talking.

Life Is Very Serious. Marriage Is Very Serious. It's not to be taken lightly. It should most definitely not be fun.

Serious business. Only serious, all the time. An excellent way to ruin a marriage.
