Skip the RFP, Just send me the money

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission is seeking proposals for a new program called, "Twogether in Texas” Healthy Marriage Program. Seriously. The State of Texas thinks they can decide on someone to counsel people on a happy marriage when they legislature and the governor can't get along, the House can't get along with anyone, and their children (state agencies) are hiring pedophiles.

Sometimes it's mind-boggling to me what the state decides to spend money on. To view the RFP go here. For PinkDome's Guide to a Healthy Marriage click the permalink.

1. Sex. Lots of it. Kink it up some, too.
2. Live in Georgetown or Pflugerville or Famers Branch or Arlington. There are zero hotties there to tempt you to stray. Plus, since there is nothing to do you are forced to entertain each other.
3. Be rich. Financial hardships put a strain on a relationship.
4. Have kids! Nothing keeps two unhappy people together like the children!
5. Drink. A lot. Nothing kills the ambition to leave a bad relationship like being drunk.

Add your guidelines for a happy marriage in the comments!
