How To Be A Good Spouse

[Abbey Marie]

1. Don't be a selfish jerk.

2. Try to stay as attractive as possible. Dress neatly, and for the love of all that is holy, bathe and groom yourself regularly.

3. Have a sense of humor, and laugh with your spouse's attempts at humor.

4. Don't be a selfish jerk.

Finally, Socialism, while bad for governing, can actually be a good philosophy for marriage. From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.

4. Don't be a selfish jerk.

5. Don't just put in 50% of the effort needed to make the marriage work, and then expect your spouse to put in the other 50%. You should put in 100% of the work needed, and HOPE that your spouse puts in the other 100%.

Absolutely true. Socialism, while a very bad way to run a society, is an excellent way to run a small intimate group like a family. In fact, most households, especially conservative ones, are run in a socialistic way. And they do well as a result.

Only in large, more loosely connected groups where members try to get away with not doing much and can't be coaxed or chivvied into making an effort, does socialism fail. That includes virtually all countries, large and small, that try it.
