I think that perhaps what many marriages are missing is the sound of laughter. When you're married to someone like my husband, there is never a day void of laughter. We live in a relationship where we can laugh at each other and not be sensitive about it. Here a some examples from the past week of what it's like in the Swords' household...enjoy!
The big discussion in our household lately has been whether we are having a boy or girl. Mitch is convinced we are having a boy, and I am pretty sure that we are having a girl. It is common knowledge (at least among pregnant woman) that if you are shaped like a basketball you are having a boy, and if you are shaped like a football, you are having a girl. Most pregnant woman want to look like a basketball, because that means you go out rather than side to side. Anyway, I asked Mitch the other day which he thought I looked like, a football or basketball? "Oh, definitely, football," he replied without flinching. "What! That means I look fat!" (I can blame the outburst on pregnancy hormones, right?) "No, I meant a football that's in a tee ready for kickoff." "Oh, okay." (He so got out of that one!)
This morning was the usual Mitch...(and I say this with complete love). He is in the kitchen getting some lunch. I hear grunts and "oh mans" and look over. Each time Mitch has spilled something new--coffee grounds water, then coffee beans, and finally cheezits (he likes to munch as he gets something ready to eat). He claims to have picked them up, but evidently not well enough because their was a trail of cheezit crumbs all over the kitchen. I was sitting at the table dying of laughter at this point.
Like I said, we share our funny moments and write them on our "Dearly Beloved Quote Board" so we can remember all the funny things that happen. I guess with our new arrival on the way, things will only get funnier!
