10 Essential Relationship Tips We Learned From Superheroes
3. If You're Busy, Send In The Clones
Of course, all these tips are presuming that you have the time to carry out elaborate schemes, or enough holiday saved up at work that you can afford a jaunt beyond the cosmos or to be "deceased" for an extended period. Sometimes you don't have any time at all, and that's the exact reason you're having all these relationship problems in the first place. Between work, the gym, cooking dinner, and getting enough sleep to make sure you're not dead for the next go-around the following day, sometimes it can be easy to forget that you need to spend quality time together. You know, like you did in the early days, when life was simple and romance was all that mattered! That was a long time ago, though, and you have a lot more responsibilities now. But you still want to keep your romantic relationship going, so what to do? Clones, of course! Or robots. Or perhaps you were involved in an accident with a nuclear weapon and can split your being into multiple other people. Either way, that's an easy way to make sure everybody and everything's being attended to at all times. So long as they don't get freaked out, as happened with Doctor Manhattan and Silk Spectre in Watchmen. The blue skin didn't help much in that scenario either.
