Bringing fun and laughter to marriage will help the couple to explore the stages of self-discovery, friendship, relationship building, and marriage in the true sense of it.

Oh, whenever I have thoughts of the funny moments in my married life, I right away thank God for giving me such a wonderful, exciting, and compromising partner in life. Ha.ha. Yeah, compromising in the sense that we really have to take the other for what he or she is. Otherwise, arguments may tend to crop up always.

Just recently my husband and I had a somewhat infuriating and embarrassing experience together, but it made our day still fun and cool. Here’s the story.

Most of the times, we’re so busy that we find it hard even to have a conversation. Often times, while my husband is driving, he also do the talking while I try to listen but after just awhile, he would see me asleep already. Thanks God, though irritated he tries to be patient with me.

One Saturday, after we attended Worship Service, we again tried to hurry home, so we could continue to do some unfinished business both in the church and in our works. It is already my habit to bring my laptop with me so I could do my work wherever I will be. When we arrived home after almost two hours of travel, we realized that we left my laptop. Oh my goodness, I was so worried because we do not want to waste even an hour of our time so we could finish the assignments required from us by our church elders and from my immediate superior in the office.

Since we have no choice, we decided to go back to the place where we spent our weekend, about two hours ride from our home on the following early morning since we arrived home late midnight already. After three to four hours sleep, the following morning I again prepared the clothes that we will be wearing for the meetings that we have to attend. It was Sunday already, so I told my husband that we just take a bath later so we could save time and we’ll just bring with us the necessary things that we’ll need.

We traveled, wearing only our sleeping clothes, my husband wore an old faded and almost worn out shorts. When we’re already in the place where I left my laptop and my husband was about to take a bath, alas! I found out that I was not able to bring his pants and he has nothing to wear for the meeting. Oh my, I almost got angry with myself for being forgetful. What a real mess.

My husband, instead of becoming irritated, he laughed out loud and told me, ha ha ha don’t worry my dear, maybe this is God’s will for us so we could have time for each other unintentionally. I have no choice but to stay cool and enjoy the moment together he.he.he.

We realized however that we have another problem we will be late for the meeting, and the more that we will be late if we will go home and get his trouser. What we did is to look for a UK or short for “ukay-ukay” or “used clothing” store. What we did is just to laugh at our memory gaps and I asked my husband, “What if we will reach the age of 50’s and up? All the more maybe, that we will experience severe lapses in remembering things. ‘Hope, nothing more embarrassing moment would happen again.”

He just shrugged off his shoulders and smiled at  me. Thanks God we were not late in our meetings for we arrived just in time. The trouser my husbandwas wearing was the one we bought in the store for used clothing, but at least it was not really noticeable.,
