Marriage is Blissful Boredom

LINK: "Passion? No, the secret of a happy marriage is blissful boredom" article in Daily Mail Newspaper. MY COMMENT: I agree with these reader comments and an extract from the article itself: "Often people say they are bored with their partners as though they are some sort of court jesters there for their amusement - no, husbands and wives life partners, friends and lovers - boredom may come from the life circumstances of a dull job, paying the bills, emptying the rubbish - but you still have to do these even if you're single!" Affable male + boring relationship = bliss. "This article is so true and I've been saying the same thing for years - relationships are not for people who need constant thrills and excitements. To have a successful relationship you need to be with someone who you can be quite happy doing nothing with." Boring male + boring relationship = contentment. "‘Forget about igniting the flames! Flames are nasty, dangerous things that’ll burn your house down. Concentrate instead on those lovely cosy embers. Why don’t you just shove in a couple of potatoes and warm your hands at the coals?" Crashing boring male + boring relationship = devotion.
