    Wow... Corey's blog is really cool... I love reading about marriages hoped up on lifestyle design... I'll put a bookmark to his blog in a folder entitled "read when you're sick of being a single, world-traveling, supplement salesman." Corey is like Mystery for married guys.

    Clay- Thanks for the chance to spread the word about marriage not being a death nail to lifestyle design. Keep up all your good work man!

    Marriage is an incredible part of lifestyle design, I am surprised but thrilled that you included this. Great article, Corey! Love the term 'dreamlining'.

    yeah, Corey pretty much hit it on the head. There is so much more to marriage than being tied to one location and raising kids. Being married is about being fully engaged in life, with your best friend by your side, and having the time of your life doing it. If your marriage feels like a burden, then you have failed to plan.

    I love marriage, love my wife, and Corey is spot on.

    well i love it that the 123 is really the simple plan for any relationship, with a spouse, with a friend, with life!

    as the lingerie chorus sang at the end of the rocky horrow picture show:

    don't dream it, be it!

    happy free fall!

    Kudos to Corey for spreading the word about what the true spirit of marriage is.

    Personally, marriage has given me more freedom than I otherwise would have.

    I'm a fan of Corey, too. It's great to have someone else who believes that marriage can be fun and life-affirming.

    It's all about remaining curious about yourself, your spouse and what's possible. For me, marriage makes the prospect of semi-retiring an exciting adventure instead of a sad trip over the hill.

    I think a lot of people believe that lifestyle design is just for single white guys who sell nutritional supplements, travel the world

    You have enlightened me on marriage essentials and how to strengthen it. This is a very helpful and informative post that any couple should read.

    Thanks for all the tips but I don't think this would work for everyone, there are people that want stability in their home and their relationship. I don't see this couple in the picture about surrounded with piles of storage containers in order to move to another home, I don't think they would even pack their stuff for the sake of spontaneity. We are not all like them but we do love freedom, that's what we have in common.
