  Relationships are tricky things. Most people involved in a long term situation or a marriage have to deal with financial issues that probably involve a chunk of the family budget spent on really cute shoes. Somebody who has chosen a "till death do we part" suicide pact also will find themselves dealing with kids, getting used to your significant other's annoying habits, and an endless parade of skanks that seem to wink at any guy with a wedding ring. Any one of these situations could result in some ugly dealings with a lawyer or a frying pan to the back of the head. Do couples really need to add competitive Holdem events to the list of potential relationship pitfalls?



  We have talked to Erica Schoenberg about her relationship and we have also spoken with Vanessa Rousso about the same thing. They both talked about their future husbands and how nobody is bothered when one side of the relationship loses to the other while playing poker. They are probably telling the truth, but the answer will most likely be different when the newness of the couplings wears off and they are celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary.



  A lot of very bright, poker playing couples have decided that the key to a long relationship is not to play against each other. The game of poker is a highly competitive one, and not often played by folks who are wishy washy about winning. When couples face off against each other the loser often feels like a little piece of them has died inside.



  Love and competition are often mutually exclusive. God bless those who can do it successfully, but mixing those two concepts is generally a good recipe for a number of long, cold, celibate nights on the couch.
