The game theory against divorces

[Linkey]

I believe that the game theory can be useful for improving relationships in families. Here is a simple analogy:
A husband and wife are deciding how to spend their time together. If they both go to watch football, the husband gets two "units of pleasure", the wife one. If they go to the theater, the husband gets one "unit of pleasure", the wife two. If they are inclined to compromise, they can agree to go there and there alternately, then each gets an average of 1.5 units of pleasure. But if the wife is selfish and has more patience, she can make her husband choose either to go only to the theater or not to go anywhere. The husband acceps this and the wife gets 2 units of pleasure, but this approach destroys their relationship.
In fact, this example is not entirely correct, later I can explain why.
My main idea is that studying the game theory can help spouses NOT play such games, recognize these games and treat them negatively, and this will lead to an improvement in their relationship.

Wow. Usually folks have to pay extra for that type of insight. Have you considered podcasting?

Moderator Note

Shall we apply game theory to “Where should I post my thread?” to see if we can improve your posting choices.

No apparent repercussions if you just lazily post it in the lounge, but what if there were? Like, say, angering the moderators?
