Hubbies & Humour

The other night I stood in the kitchen wishing I didn't have to think about dinner. Then the phone rang. It was Jack on his cell.

"I'm almost home," he said.  "I'm at the Country Market and I’m picking up some corn."

"Really?" I said. "What line do you find works the best?" (Get it? Picking up corn--what pick-up line do you use? Ha Ha!)

"Great ears," Jack said without missing a beat.

We both laughed hysterically on the phone. So in sync. Often we plan date nights and getaways to keep connected. But it's the everyday stuff that glues us together. Sometimes the joyful moments sneak up on you. Like when you’re making dinner—and your hubby’s picking up corn on the way home.

Guess it helps when they've got great ears.

connected
How connected we are has been in our conversation alot lately.  Good friends of ours are going thru a tough time - he's been unfaithful after 10 years of neglect due to an illness that left her physically and emotionally unable to "love" her husband.  My husband and I simply can't fathom going 10 years without "that" or simply without communicating to each other - obviously the husband was hurting and didn't tell her that.  The one thing that Jessica has taught us is that life is too short to worry about the little things - so Darrell and I don't argue over socks on the floor, or toilet seats, or who's responsible for what - we save the arguing for the really big stuff and instead learn to vent and let go.  We are both ok with this method - it's kind of couples therapy without being too serious.  So we get our feelings out - real or imagined, logical or NOT, they are heard, and then whatever the silly little thing was is let go.  It's critical for us to stay physically connected as well.  Honestly I guess I could do this alone if I had to......but it's so much better with him.....we both feel this way and value that.
