What does everyone think about just keeping relationships simple?
For instance, guys do the chores (do the dishes, wash some clothes, whatever), talk to your wife for at least 15 minutes a day completely undisturbed (that means turn the TV off), tell her you love her, tell her she is beautiful (even if some of the "shine" has worn off), get her some flowers every so often, and, if you have kids, be a involved father. These are pretty simple.
Gals, you have it easy: don't let yourself "go" and have sex with us (preferably everyday, but once a week is sufficient).
I don't mean to be a pig, but this seems like a pretty fair trade off, does it not?

This pretty much sums up my relationship with my wife.
But don't be so petty as to require no prior baggage,ie:children,prior marriage,age.
My lovely wife is a few years older than I am, and had 2 boys from a previous marriage. Find a good Godly woman and treat each other with respect and love and you'll probably end up happy.
Most guys aren't looking for Miss Right, they want Miss Right Now. Know the difference. Freegards

You lost me right here. Growing up in an Italian household, I believe in traditional roles for men and women. The men cut the grass, shovel the snow, fix the car, etc, and the women do the dishes, wash the clothes, etc. My parents have done this for forty years and there was never any arguments over who does what in the household. It's the marriages where the lines and chores are blurred (i.e. he does the dishes sometimes, she does them sometimes, etc) that problems develop.

my observations on the recipe for success is a little different than yours: guys, get out of the way in the house & only do what you're asked to do, & make sure you have enough energy to give her sex whenever she asks for it
