A South Carolina newspaper callled, The State has addressed a very modern point of conflict among today's married crew: the Netflix queue. The battle of the husband moving Braveheart to the top of the queue not knowing that his wife adjusted the queue at the last minute resulting with the husband opening the red envelope stuffed with Pride and Prejudice instead, is raging on. The article offers many scenarios like this, and doesn't mention until the very end of the article that sharing a queue is an unnecessary strain on your marriage. In fact, Netflix subscribers can set up multiple profiles with individual queues so that each can receive the movie they want. My wife and I do that and it works great. The problem, as many couples in the article pointed out, is when the other expresses interest and so you hold off watching, then weeks go by and the movie is still sitting in the sleeve waiting to play. If you have something you want to watch or if you want to watch one of your movies, also try Netflix's Watch Instant feature, which you can watch right on your computer without waiting or even on your TV (third party equipment required).

We'd love to hear your Netflix stories...do you and your spouse fight over what movie gets played and/or added to the queue?
