No one ever wants to admit this.

Not the relationship “experts,” family counselors, advice columns, not your family and friends.

But it’s the mathematical truth that no marriage is ever exactly a 50/50 proposition.

There’s always one spouse who is more in charge.

That’s human nature.

But that’s in very rare cases.

And don’t ask me about throuples; I’m not here to do relationship trigonometry.

And in 99.99% of cases, you’d undoubtedly be right.

And for good reason.

And how’s Hailee’s film doing?

It’s not an exaggeration to call it a blockbuster.

One of the surprise hits of recent years.

And there you have it.

Josh Allen might be one of the most celebrated athletes in North America.

Talented, rich, and popular.

But he still managed to marry up.

You might think as a fan of one of the teams he’s made into his sons:

I’d resent Allen for all this success on and off the field.

But you’d be wrong.

I’m a fan of America.

And the great American icon that is the quarterback.

The men who achieve that lofty position in the NFL deserve to land the very best women.

As a symbol of their status in our culture.

In fact, they owe it to the rest of us.

So we all owe him, and the lovely future Mrs. Allen, our gratitude.

Well played, both of you.
