"First: Happy Halloween! You have no idea how stoked I am&amp;amp;#8212;it&amp;amp;#8217;s honestly my favorite day of the year. I&amp;amp;#8217;ll have plenty of photos for you on Monday, but this isn&amp;amp;#8217;t a one-way street. Send your photos to Joanna for all of us to admire. I really want to see what you come up with. So you&amp;#x27;ve all heard about Madonna&amp;#x27;s split with Guy Ritchie, but have you seen their &amp;quot;marriage contract&amp;quot;? Apparently it was written while they were in counseling a few years ago. Some of the rules are pretty ridiculous: &amp;quot;Guy must set aside time to read Kabbalah texts with his wife&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;We both must devote time to our sexual expressiveness&amp;quot;. My initial reaction is sympathy for Guy, but upon further reflection maybe Madge is on to something.When it comes to 80s icons, I always choose Michael Jackson over Madonna.I&amp;amp;#8217;m a big believer in putting things into writing, especially when it comes to my feelings. Whether it&amp;amp;#8217;s a journal entry or a love letter, translating emotions into words always clarifies my true intentions. The same principle applies to a relationship contract. What clearer way to express your needs and understand your partner than through a written document? Here are a few things I would ask my imaginary girlfriend to sign on for: - Girl must set aside time to read Hemingway texts with Ryan. - We both must devote time to our sexual expressiveness. - Don&amp;amp;#8217;t make fun of my eyebrows. Who knew the Material Girl and I had so much in common? Seriously, I kind of like the idea of relationship contracts as long as the terms aren&amp;amp;#8217;t completely ridiculous. Would you ever sign one? If so, what would you ask for from your partner? Photo: Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
