Finn: “Daddy…is being married hard?”
Me: (Looks over shoulder)…“Is Mommy around?”
Finn: “Huh? No…Dylan said his Daddy thinks being married is hard.”
Me: “Oh…being married is easy Buddy!”
Finn: “Really?”
Me: “You bet! The trick is keeping someone who has the opportunity to kill you in your sleep as happy as possible.”
Finn: “Seriously?”
Me: “Fifteen year survivor.”
Finn: “You have skills Daddy.”
THE BACK STORY
The idea for this story came about when I caught my wife staring at me one evening while she thought I was sleeping on the sofa.
I had woken a few minutes earlier and saw her gazing at me out of the corner of my eye. So I pretended to still be asleep. When she got closer I suddenly grabbed her and said “Caught you!”
My wife said “Caught me doing what?” So I said “I saw you…staring lovingly at me. Oh yeah…you love me! You were probably thinking how lucky you were to have me….yep…you’re married to Mr. Handsome…you lucky girl!”
My wife stared blankly at me for a second, sighed, and finally said “You’re right honey…you caught me…I was staring at you…only I was trying to figure out if I should stick a pillow over your face or not…” Then she winked at me and left the room…
Yep…stand back fellas….she’s all mine!
I love being married to a funny women who can hold her own….and if I suddenly disappear…well…

Not married but my mom always said married people have married people problems and single people have single people problems. Ones problems aren’t any easier than the others. Just different. Thanks mom! My best to you John!
Couldn’t tell you, no one has been willing to work that hard to marry me lol.
The actual marriage is easy, every day after that is the problem!
It can be if you don’t work at it. Lack of communication is the killer. After 25 years of marriage, my advice: don’t go to bed angry, be respectful, and don’t keep secrets.
It was so easy I did it twice. I figured since it was such a success the first time, let’s see how much fun the second time around would be.
The thing about marriage is that it changes passion…suddenly you’re in bed with a relative.
Haha! Awesome Janice. This quote will be in next Fridays video! John
