Based on updated experiences, the following are replacements
to my original “Top 5 Reasons to get Married”.
These replacements match the tone of the original in that they do not
represent the deep and philosophical.
Instead, they are small every-day items that contribute to a joyful
marriage. I had a hard time narrowing it
down to two, so came up with alternates for each replacement.
#3a Restaurant Menu
Selection: Phin and I have an agreement to
switch plates halfway through our meal.
This is great for my love of options; I no longer have to narrow my
choice to just one entrée. (People do
stare if you start ordering more than 1 meal for yourself at a time – even when
you explain you like the left-overs).
#3b : Driving almost
an entire year without filling the gas tank!!!!
Almost as good as having an electric car, is a husband who does not mind
filling the tank. This was never an
enjoyable task for me, but the other day I was at the gas station and realized
I couldn’t remember the last time I had to do this chore for myself. (When using my credit card to pay for this
fill-up, I forgot my zip code.
Apparently, living in a fantasy Emerald City is much easier when you don’t
have to type in a Desert Kave zip code every week… but that is a different tale
for another day.)
#4a Someone to make phone calls for me: I have always had a fear of phone calls. Although I no longer have to bribe co-workers
to make my appointments, talking on the phone still raises my heart rate. I love having a designated phone caller in
the family (that is not me) – and am enjoying the convenience of ordering
take-out for the first time in my life.
For the official replacements, I'm leaning towards choosing 3a and 4b:)
