This concept house can save unnecessary unpleasantness if a co-habiting couple decide to go their separate ways.
Every item in the house would be designed to function either as a whole or as 2 separate halves. For example the sofa could be unzipped to create 2 chairs, the toaster could be unhooked
to create 2 toasters that can cook only 1 slice at a time, and so on. If an item is deemed "unsplittable", then there would be some built in redundacy, just in case. For instance, the record player would have 2 turntables.
Even the house itself could be detached, or semi-detached as it would become.

For the Polygamists out there, it could be Terraced. |

Record player? Turntables? Sheesh. No wonder you have marital problems. |

What happens if B*tchy (or Grumpy) gets married and devorced again? |
|

A his-n-her pair of curtains? |

Why not just have the government issue everyone half of a double-wide trailer. Then if they break up, they just move off the lot... |

Either way, the divorce is still going to be messy. |

"Hey! you stole my half of the toaster, give it back!" |
|
| |
"Not until you stop sleeping on my half of the couch!" |

I thought this would somehow be rigged up to put back
the healthy fun and friendship into a married couple.
Was wondering how you would accomplish that with
technology. |
