I Can Sum Up Marriage In These 8 Texts I've Sent My Hubby
Don't you love reading other people's texts?
When you're married, life is funny. And married people texts, in particular, are something else. They embody the love couples have for each other through sarcasm, wit, and humor.
The bond between a husband and wife is something that is unbreakable. We all want that special relationship with someone. We yearn for a soulmate to grow old and experience life with.
Having someone to laugh with, cry with, and experience life with is something many spend their entire lives looking for. It's that unconditional love us humans are wired to search for.
Marriage is so serious that you sometimes have to look at it with humor to make it through. You don't have to take everything so seriously, and talking with sarcasm shows that you are truly in a healthy relationship and can have fun with each other.
Some people may think it's boring when your relationship reaches a certain point where you're so comfortable with each other that conversations take on a whole different vibe.
But I beg to differ. Because in marriage, there is always something interesting.
Sometimes, when I am stressed, tired, irritated, or struggling, I like to take a moment and read through some of the messages my husband and I send to each other, especially when we have either had a fight or he is getting on my last nerve.
When I read my texts with my husband, I see a love story. A weird, funny, way too comfortable love story, but a love story all the same.
It reminds me how much we love each other and are grateful for the relationship we have where we can be open, honest (sometimes brutally honest), and sarcastic without the fear of hurting each other's feelings.
Taking a look at our best texts through the years we have been together really brings us closer. It's like a reset for us as a couple. We reminisce and remember why we are together in the first place.
This is how we put everything that we may go through on a day-to-day basis behind us and focus on the whole of our relationship.
But I'll tell you what, I wouldn't trade it for the world.
Just remember that you are with your partner for a reason. You love them, so remind yourself when things get tough that your love is stronger than anything else. Every day you are together isn't enough. So, enjoy each moment you have together.
And if you are with that special someone, I am sure you have your own fair share of text messages that are hilarious and that sum up your marriage.
But here are some of our hilarious, mundane texts that basically sum up the entirety sanctity of marriage. And, more than anything, these messages keep life interesting.
Aren't we lucky?

1. Thanks to everyone who shared our first post. Un-thanks to whoever coughed in my husband's salad and gave him the runs.
They both went viral, albeit in different ways, but at least he can make jokes about his predicament.
2. He's trying to turn our home into some kind of hunting lodge and send the taxidermist's kids to college.
That's okay, but I draw the line at beavers.
3. I wouldn't touch the Jim Carrey version with a thirty-nine-and-a-half-foot pole.
Quit with the crappy remakes, Hollywood!
4. I hate waking to the smell and sound of disgust.
Did you choke on your drink with this one? I know I surely did. And yes, I can imagine that there are a whole bunch of people out there that are going to steal this one.
5. I'm glad to know I'll safely ride out the zombie apocalypse in an Elm.
Hey, it's a good idea. I wonder why no one on The Walking Dead has thought of that yet.
6. That autocorrect says the darndest things.
Don't we all love autocorrect?
7. I married the child whisperer.
It's called rationalization.
8. The perfect example of not remembering anything I do AND slacking on purpose.
And now you know why communication is important in a marriage.
