Summary
On today’s episode, I sit down (again!) with Sherrie Schneider, author of The Rules and The Rules For Marriage. We discuss the rules for relationships, the rules for marriage, rules I disagree with, why some rules stand the test of time, and so much more. This episode starts with a solo where I discuss the marriage rules, why the holidays can be hard, not having New Year’s Eve plans, dealing with annoying family members, and how to turn someone down in person (especially at a work event!).
Sherrie Schneider is co-author with Ellen Fein of The Rules and The Rules for Marriage and three other books. Sherrie has been happily married for 28 years to Mr. Right.

| 0:00.0 | The following podcast is a deer media production. |
| 0:06.5 | Hey guys, welcome back to We Minute Act Me and Merry Christmas to those who celebrate |
| 0:12.5 | what a fun holiday. As a Jew, I always was so jealous of people who celebrate Christmas because |
| 0:21.0 | of all the amazing, like, gorgeous lights and trees and gifts. And it's just such a fun holiday. |
| 0:29.2 | So if you celebrate, I am, you know, wishing I was there and might be next time. And today is my |
| 0:37.9 | version of a Christmas gift, which is an episode that has been long in the making, the rules for |
| 0:45.1 | relationships. I knew when this episode came to be that even though I had done the rules episode, |
| 0:51.9 | you know, for dating by myself, I was like, you know what? I really want to tap into someone who |
| 0:57.8 | really knows what they're talking about. Someone who's been married and someone who, I don't know, |
| 1:04.8 | maybe created the rules. And so today we have Sherry Schneider, who is an amazing woman. And |
| 1:13.4 | her and a woman, Ellen Fein, were the original writers of the book called The Rules, which came |
| 1:19.3 | out in 1995. And Sherry has actually been on the podcast before when I think it was like August 2020 |
| 1:28.2 | or something like that. If you want to go back and listen to her original episode, it was |
| 1:32.8 | illuminating. And I was like, you know what? She's got so much wisdom. There are some things we |
| 1:38.1 | disagree with. So I wanted to bring Sherry on. So that's what today's episode is. Before we get |
| 1:44.3 | into it, I know that it's the holidays. And I just wanted to, you know, talk about some things |
| 1:49.7 | that need to be talked about. Like if you're feeling alone, which is a very normal feeling. And I |
| 1:57.0 | can't tell you how many New Year's eaves I spent with my parents. And thank God for my parents |
| 2:05.5 | for spending it with me. But it was lonely. And it's, there's such like a hype that people create |
| 2:12.1 | for no reason about like, Oh, you're going to have a New Year's kiss or like, what are your |
| 2:17.2 | plans for New Year's? Which party are you going to? And the truth is these parties, they charge you |
| 2:24.0 | like $300. You get what? Like an open bar and like whatever. And they're just not that fun, |
