Relationships are all about compromise.

You want to make sure the toilet seat is down when it needs to be, you have to make sure you don't skip ahead and binge on a Netflix series without your partner, and your music choices are truly put to the test.

Or sometimes ... there's no actual choice in the matter.

Just ask Melinda Karlsson, Sharks star Erik Karlsson's wife.

Melinda wants to attend a music festival this summer in Ottawa, and there's nothing her four-time All-Star husband can do about it.

We are going to backstreet boys and it’s not even a question. @ErikKarlsson65 pic.twitter.com/aJADsnXHrZ — Melinda Karlsson (@MelindaCurrey) March 5, 2019

This is not a bad date night for Erik and Melinda.

Eric Church, The Killers, Kane Brown, and most importantly ... the Backstreet Boys.

Even if you're one of the people who debate which boy band is better between BSB and *NSYNC -- that's a good time.

The answer is *NSYNC, by the way.

And if Karlsson isn't a fan of any of those performers -- there's Kygo, The Offspring (random) and even Snoop Dogg (even more random).

The festival isn't until July so this is well after a possible parade that could take place in downtown San Jose ... if you catch my drift.

But you know what they say: Happy wife, happy life.

I also volunteer as tribute if you need anyone to chaperone.
