On cutting down the romance in his relationships, Ealy tells EUR News:
“The first time that I did that, I ended up getting married.”
He explains it further:
“I threw out all the romantic clichés and just looked at the relationship I was in…are we compatible? Do we compliment each other? Can we help each other? Do we work well together as a team, as a opposed to, ‘oh my God the sun starts in your eyes. Without you I am blind and in darkness.’
“Like none of that was there. We gotta be best friends. We gotta be best friends. We gotta hang in different situations. We gotta do things. We gotta be able to roll together. And communicate.
“It doesn’t mean I wasn’t romantic from time to time, it just didn’t start out like Romeo and Juliet. It just wasn’t that. I threw all that away, and just abandoned it and said let me look at this relationship from a friendship and more practical standpoint because everybody who I know is married says that sh*t goes away quick.”

And that is exactly how it should be. As long as women keep looking for their “white knight” to come save them, and men keep looking for that “perfect woman”, marriages will continue to fail and folks are gonna stay single.
He’s right but people want to hold on to their fairytales and that’s why the divorce rate will remain crazy.
I agree. A little romance is ok but it shouldn’t be your foundation.
I’m not married but I can dig this. I would imagine your spouse would need to be your best friend for things to work out.
This makes sense but he has a habit of talking about his wife like this was just some business deal LOL. I know that’s not what it is but still. Men are a trip.
Man this is some real ish. Teamwork makes the dream work. Look at Barack and Michelle.
Exactly.
Makes a lot of sense.
I love it.
He married that brunette right? Anyway, this makes sense to me. Too bad most people don’t see it this way.
