Top Ten Tuesdays: How are we staying so happily married?

Yesterday was the thirteenth wedding anniversary for The Lovely Becky and I. Each year has been better than the last, and every day that I come home and find her there, I am thankful. Especially when she doesn’t have male callers that day.

So how are we and other couples staying happily married?

10) Setting the sensors of the First Ladybot to “Love.”

9) Getting awesome job for spouse at the World Bank.

8) Putting the modifier “female” in front of the object “orgasm.”

7) Hiring only grossly unattractive pool boys and nannies.

6) Finding a nice, quiet, dark place to store the children.

5) Reminding him that when we become President, he better not say anything about the interns wearing chaps.

4) Obeying the restraining order.

3) Gambling away the kids' college fund together.

2) Believing that our spouse is faithful, no matter what photos those jerks at Us Weekly printed.

1) Respecting, trusting, laughing with, listening to, and loving our significant others. Oh, and boinking. Lots and lots of boinking.

Getting someone else to mow the lawn has been shown to improve marriage ratings.

Congrats on the unlucky 13.

Happy Anniversary.

When you come home and find she does have male callers, do you get the video camera out?

#11. On occasion, attempting to smother husband with breasts.

This has been known to relieve stress for both parties involved.

congrats. Isn't this the Velveeta anniversary?

Thanks for the congrats. It's been a crazy week of work and out-of-state house hunting, but we managed to sneak in a nice anniversary dinner.

I wish there was a Velveeta anniversary. Nothing says I love you like processed cheese food spread.

Belated Happy Anniversary!

I've also found liking the person helps. It's stopped me from killing Grizzled on numerous occasions.
