> Marriage and what was previously a 2 body problem became a 4 body problem

I didn't relate to most of what you said, but I definitely see this sentiment. I hosted parties all the time till I got married, albeit not for logistical reasons. She's very unkeen on having people in her space, and carving out space for me was already a sacrifice for her.

Now I wish my friends hosted parties because I'd 100% go.

I think 2 families counts as a dinner party.

It could. But I also mentioned "Simple food, not a lot of ceremony." :-)

2 families over with simple food is still the hosting talked about in the article.

Oh I get it. The point is my social circle doesn't. They want "good" food, and ceremony.
