Reasons why I should get married:
1. So I no longer have to sleep on the pull out couch when everyone else gets a real bed on family vacations.
2. So I can afford a 1 bedroom apartment in DC. (I long for the days of becoming a D.I.N.K.)
3. So someone else can take the trash out, dust, and do laundry.
4. So I don't have to cook for 1 (or every day).
5. So someone else can change the smoke detector battery when it goes off at 11:45 pm on a Tuesday night.
6. So someone can accompany me to the things I want to do in DC that no one really wants to do with me.
7. So I can justify buying furniture and artwork that I want.
8. So I can likely double or triple my DVD collection.
9. So I can stop being asked if I'm seeing anyone.
10. So I can finally learn how to dance.

Ha! This list really resonated with me - especially #1. I remember one family reunion at a beach house where I was stuck sharing a super-uncomfortable hide-a-bed in the main living area with my teenage sister while everyone else retired to their private rooms with private baths and thinking this is why I need to get married.
I think you've totally nailed some of the real perks of marriage :)
Hide-a-beds are the WORST! I'm glad you're enjoying the perks of marriage! :)
This list is awesome! I stumbled upon your blog via a friend's blog, and have to say I really enjoy reading this! And the Arrested Development reference is fabulous!
Hi Frannie! Glad you like the list. :) If you have any other to add to it, feel free to share!
