People who are on LinkedIn usually want to expand their professional network, find their desired job or internship, connect with fellow professionals in their industry or learn new skills to succeed in their careers. No one could have thought that people will start dropping uncalled-for relationship advice and strategies on LinkedIn. On June 8, 2023, the Twitter account, @StateOfLinkedIn shared a screenshot of a bizarre LinkedIn post that had the internet rolling with laughter. 

The original LinkedIn user named Patrick Campbell has posted about his so-called ‘high output marriage’ relationship strategy in which he uses lessons learned in business to improve his relationship. The man apparently made this post a couple of hours before going through with his wedding set to take place in Iceland. Campbell also wrote that he and his partner, Jenny were going to sit down for a 'high output marriage offsite.' 

To explain it further, Campbell wrote that in the second round of their marriage, he and Jenny would discuss a few things. "This will be our second one where we review and tweak family values, lock in next year's budget, chat through 1:1s from the past year and figure out plus revise the family vision," the LinkedIn post read. Campbell posted a laughing emoji at the end before saying that "It is not as intense as it sounds." 

"We worked so hard learning how to communicate and operate in business, we find using these in our relationship works wonders (with some modifications of course)," Campbell wrote. He also tossed in a question to other people in the community regarding whether or not anyone wants to know how he runs his family and relationship successfully. The responses on the Twitter repost are quite polarizing. While some appeared to support this idea of sorting things out like a business meeting before getting into a committed relationship, others condemned the idea and mocked the post.

@BretKenwell joked: "I now pronounce you husband and wife. Ah. Amazing! Now Jenny, if you don't mind, the board would like a quick word. If you could join us in the conference room that'd be great." @alecmphoto commented: "‘Anyone interested in learning more about how we run our relationship and family?’ No. Absolutely not. In any way. At all. Unless I’m late to the party and parody accounts are a thing on LinkedIn?"

Some Twitter users even urged Campbell's partner to 'run while she still can.' @subtlystephanie was one of the rare few netizens who supported the idea and wrote: "Honestly I kind of like it...at least they know where they stand." Well, it looks like not many people were thrilled with the idea of running a marriage like a business but whatever floats this guy's boat, we guess.
