Here at UT for Dummies, we are committed to the dispersal of all things that will enhance the average longhorn experience. That being said, I now approach the ever-sensitive topic of college-dating (which will all know is a ball-and-chain away from til’ death to us part).

Since I know little to nothing about such an intensely debated and sometimes hated subject, I turn to a the wisdom of a UT grad, Ben Goldfarb’s article, ”Life-coaching: The 7.3 rules for a happy marriage.”

2.Metaphors
Select a metaphor that best defines your marriage. Some couples see themselves as co-pilots on a transatlantic journey. Others view themselves as vice presidents of a corporation. I met a couple recently who sees their marriage as an intricate game involving Nerf ™ balls, spatulas, and mosquito netting.

7. Tupperware ™
Buy lots of Tupperware ™. I have no vested interest in Tupperware ™, nor do I plan on becoming a distributor. I’ve never even been to a Tupperware ™ party, although I’ve heard they can get pretty wild. However, Tupperware ™ products maintain the “cook and freeze” lifestyle that might contribute more to marital bliss than any other single factor.
