Marriage Monday: The Humor of Christian Marriage

Want this button?

Sometimes I wonder if other couples laugh like my husband and I do. The funniest times for us are often late at night when we should be asleep. It seems the later it gets, the sillier we are. There are things that have happened to us that we remember and joke about. Sometimes we laugh at situations that weren't funny at the time but late at night they suddenly are very funny! These are great times that I really do cherish. It feels so good not to be serious all the time.

My husband is someone with whom I can totally be myself and know he'll accept me. One of those things he accepts is my laughter. I'm not the type of person to burst out laughing when I'm with a group. My husband knows how to make me laugh though, with a funny tone, facial expression, private joke, or tickling me. It is such a nice feeling to be 100% comfortable in laughing with him, being my true self. When we laugh together we have a happy home. We are able to pass this on to our son as well, which is important.

Laughter is good medicine. It is true that we take life too seriously, and we could all use more laughter in our lives. I hope your marriage is one of fun and humor.

My Funny Boy

I thought I'd share these stories to give you a Monday morning laugh! They make me laugh at least. :)


We have been doing the Dave Ramsey principles with our finances, and Caleb knows all about our envelopes. I have various envelopes to represent various funds (groceries, eating out, postage, dollar stores, clothing, RX, etc.). When my husband gets paid, I get cash and divide it into the envelopes. The idea is that if the envelope is empty then that means you have to wait till the next pay day for more for that area. It has worked out wonderfully, and I really see exactly where our money goes each month. Caleb has heard me say many times I'll have to check the _____ fund and see how much we have left. Anyway, last week Caleb asked to look at one of my Precious Moments. Daddy got it down for him and told Caleb to be very careful because Mommy would be sad if it got broken. Caleb said well we could just buy another one. Daddy told him no we have to take care of our things and not break them because new things cost money and we don't waste our money, etc. Caleb said we could just use money from the Precious Moments fund. It made us both laugh.


Saturday Caleb found a small blow-up beach ball in his toy box. This reminded me of the paddles I wanted to make for us using coat hangers and panty hose. Caleb loved them and we had fun playing ball in the living room. He had talked to Gramma recently about panty hose when we were at her house and thought they were so funny. He doesn't call them panty hose though.....he calls them "hosey drawers." He says it SO cute too! The "drawers" sounds like "draws."

Have a great Monday and blessed week! Thank you for stopping by. I've updated the prayer list for the week in the side bar.

Cute Big Sister!

Last night as my husband and I watched the speech given by Sarah Palin at the Republican National Convention, we both burst out laughing when the cameras showed this. (It is just a 10 second clip.)




Isn't that the cutest thing! She was so innocent and oblivious to anything going on around her. I just had to share!
