Who says spouses have to live together? Who says she should cook and he should work? Who says you should always go out together? Who says you always have to spend the holidays together? Who says you shouldn’t encourage people to ogle your spouse? Who says the same person always has to do the same chores? While questioning cultural assumptions about relationships and figuring out what actually works for you and your partner isn’t easy, the pay-offs are massive and totally worth it. It’s awesome to figure out what you want out of your relationship — not what society expects you to want.
