Great Idea Update: How Other Couples Do It
Chris actually bought us the domain name last night: www.howothercouplesdoit.com (.com, right, Chris? you really did buy it, right?).
We will have three sections: money, sex, and housework.
People will be able to fill in an anonymous questionnaire with questions like, "what conflicts did you have in this area?" "how did you resolve your conflicts?" "how do you divide chores?" "How do you divide spending?" "how often do you have sex?" etc. etc. etc.
Then, the responses will be posted and you will be able to scroll through them to see, "how other couples do it"! It will make fascinating reading, I think! Maybe we will have a rating system or a monthly prize for the best entry, to encourage people to respond.
You will be able to sort according to girl/boy, girl/girl, boy/boy and just girl or boy responses. Chris pointed out this leaves out more complicated arrangements like girl/boy/boy, etc. but if there's a demand, I'm sure we can adjust to meet it.
There is no profit model for this. YET. If we were wildly successful, maybe Chris and I could go on tour or something -- Oprah, etc. We could become couples self-help gurus. I don't think we've done any research to find out what's already out there in this area.
I'm almost as excited about this as I am about www.fairlandlord.org!
I think I'm going to have to quit one of my jobs to devote myself to pursing more of my website ideas. I hear there is a lot of money in it.

As I've discussed this idea with other people, it's clear we will need more areas, particularly:
children
inlaws
