Laugh First, Leave Later

All jokes aside, every couple has that moment—the one where you stare at your partner across the room and think, What strange creature have I legally attached myself to? But the truth is, marriage isn’t perfect because people aren’t perfect.

So maybe, just maybe, instead of calling the lawyer… call a friend. Laugh it off. Share this list with your spouse, and see which number makes them roll their eyes the hardest. If you both end up laughing? That’s the kind of marriage that lasts.
