Alice and Bob met. They fell in love. They got married. And everyone around them thought they were perfect together. But the course of true love -- or even raging hormones -- never did run smooth. And eventually things begin to get a little rocky. So they leave the marriage intact on paper and work out an agreement to hold up appearances, while secretly getting on with their separate lives. If Alice and Bob aren't really in love because Bob loves Chuck, then Alice is The Beard and the marriage is still a charade. Compare Sexless Marriage and Citizenship Marriage.

abstract
  • Alice and Bob met. They fell in love. They got married. And everyone around them thought they were perfect together. But the course of true love -- or even raging hormones -- never did run smooth. And eventually things begin to get a little rocky. But Bob's family will cut him off if he gets a divorce! Alice won't get her inheritance if she doesn't have a child born in wedlock! The family will be subjected to the scrutiny of the media and embarrassment from same if it gets out that the perfect couple -- isn't. Or there's some political reason that would make things complicated and unpleasant if they divorced. Or divorce is against their religion. So they leave the marriage intact on paper and work out an agreement to hold up appearances, while secretly getting on with their separate lives. If Alice and Bob aren't really in love because Bob loves Chuck, then Alice is The Beard and the marriage is still a charade. Sometimes the couple hates each other but pretends they're happy to the outside world. Compare Sexless Marriage and Citizenship Marriage. Examples of Happy Marriage Charade include:
