Loveliness isn’t an investment looking for a return. That’s why you don’t keep score in a good marriage—I did this for you, so now it’s your turn to do something for me. I went to the grocery, so you have to run the kids to soccer. I was nice to you when you were under stress. Now I’m under stress, so you have to be nice to me. Or I’m up four to one, so the next three tasks fall on you. I went to two events with your friends, so for the next two, I drag you out with my friends.
