Speaker 1 (00:00):
Number one, be good to each other. I agree make
sure that you have food in your Fridgiday because you
do not want to be hungry or starved. Correct, Every
relationship has certain ground rules that you both agree to

(00:22):
follow to make it work. Like for that pair of
ninety year olds, don't starve was very important for the
health of their marriage. But every couple though a little
bit different, Like in Brooks relationship, she has a strict
no eye contact Monday through Saturday policy. Sweet special, But

(00:46):
do you have any unique rules in your relationship that
maybe other people would find a little bit odd Because
a recent survey asked that to couples and they all
shared theirs. Maybe you'll like one of these so much
that you steal it for yourself. Because we have the
top ten unique rules that help people in their relationships,
I like can't even think of what these would be.

(01:09):
Let's get into it. Number ten, you can only fight
while naked. As soon as an argument starts to get
really heated, you have to strip down out of your
clothes if you want to keep art. You're in the
middle of Walmart. I'm telling you we don't need as
much breath. Feel like that's gonna end up a lot
of therapy for your kids. Later. You kid got into

(01:31):
a fight with another person at school and he got naked.
For that couple, it helps keep their relationship from it
probably just helps bring down the argument so they don't
play it as much. I just end up I'm not
taking my shirt off for you. Number nine. Never seeing
or dealing with each other's families never includes going to

(01:52):
family functions or even holidays like Christmas. You only go
to your own families, not there like you separate during
the That's terrible. How is that healthy? It probably started
after the naked fight rules. We're not going to each
other's families anymore. Number eight. Having all your big fights

(02:12):
over text messages, Oh yeah. They say that forces you
to actually slow down and respond without just blurting out
an stuff and anger the worst. It's hard to see
of someone when they're texting, but you don't. You tend
to not say as many mean things in anger because
you don't have to type it out what I am

(02:33):
waiting like that's not gonna make him cry? Hold on? Well,
they say it also creates a paper trail, so you
can go back and prove what someone did or didn't say.
That's always healthy. A survey of unconventional rules people using

(02:54):
their relationships, but others, like the people in this room,
might find weird. Number seven being in separate homes. I
knew a couple who did this really. Yes, they were
also in radio, and she said they tried to live
together and she hated all of his crap, Like she said,
he had so much stuff, and so she just got

(03:15):
her own place. Yeah, oh yeah, they both were in
separate apartments. This couple says they bought a duplex instead
of a normal house so that when they got home
they could just have their own personal space but then
still be close to be Like, it'd be like you're
constantly dating for your entire life, or I mean it'd
be like you were constantly neighbors, your entire neighbors with benefits.

(03:38):
Number six a chicken nugget tax. That's where if either
of you makes chicken nuggets, you have to bring one
nugget as a tax to the other person first before
you can eat any of yourself. Did so specific with
chicken nuggets. Yeah, I think it's very couples, or it's
Alexis's relationship which doesn't know how to anything but go

(04:03):
for the pop tart tax and the hot pocket tax.
Anything that's true. You need to make anything fresh, the
air fract Yeah. Number five on demand makeout sessions. Yeah,
now we're talking. This is a rule where at any
time you could say I need thirty seconds, and your
partner has to stop what they're doing and give you
thirty seconds of uninterrupted kissing. I think it was great.

(04:23):
I'm going to go no, oh really, no, we we kiss,
we make out. But I don't need this on demand stuff.
Like you, if you need it, then you need to
make it happen for yourself. I need a little bit
of likee enticement, right, not just like just like on
demand sits. Hey it over here now? Yeah? Wow. Number

(04:45):
four no checking in. This is zero pressure to call
or text when you're like going out with your friends,
you're out of town, or you're away for the day.
Your significant other isn't allowed to get offended or upset
about you not checking you, and you just have to
trust each other fully. Yeah. I feel like my husband
was gone all weekend and it was the best week.

(05:08):
We don't really call each other a text when we're apart. Yeah,
she's like, dang it. Number three separate groceries. What whoa?
I've never heard about This couple uses separate groceries where
you still can share big things like milk and butter,
but otherwise you go to the store by yourselves and

(05:30):
get whatever you want just for you. Is this the
dux couple? This sounds like a roommate sit that just
seems like it'd be way more expensive. Twice as many
groceries your significant other? Hey, do you have any eggs? Yeah?
I borrow some sugar. Number two mid argument, I love yous.

(05:51):
This is if things are getting too heated, when you
two are fighting and you one of you needs to
storm out of the room, you have to say I
love you before you leave. You know that? Followed with
a butt and the number one unconventional rules some people
use in their relationships in order to make it work
whisper fights. If you're ever really upset at your partner,

(06:15):
you're only allowed to whisper your frustration at them, which
helps break the tension because it's already it's hard to
take anybody seriously when they're whispering angry? Would it be
really hard for you, Jeff? You can't hear anything? Yeah? What?
What can that's what couples use in their relationships and

(06:41):
work through that whispering. Eighty five nine two Should we
do naked fights on our show? When everything's getting needed
in the studio? Phone taps coming up, jeff make me
phone taps next broken, Jeffrey in the morning,
