Couple Creates 'Marriage Contract' With 47 Pages Of Rules, Still Argues About Page 3 Subsection B
Dave and Lisa Contract have created a 47-page marriage contract that outlines every rule, expectation, and consequence in their relationship. The document covers topics like 'toilet seat position,' 'who handles the spiders,' 'acceptable volume levels during football games,' and 'exactly how many minutes someone can be in the bathroom.' Despite the comprehensive nature of the contract, the couple has been arguing about 'page 3, subsection B' for 6 months straight. Subsection B, which covers 'reasonable responses to reasonable requests,' apparently has a clause that neither can interpret correctly. Their therapist says, 'In 20 years of couples counseling, I've never seen anything like this. It's either the most organized marriage or the most litigation-prone one.' The couple is currently in arbitration with each other every Sunday.
