I've learned that marriage is all about finding creative ways to ask for permission

like 'Honey, can I watch the game tonight?' which really means 'Can I watch the game tonight without ruining my life?'

I've been thinking, what's the difference between a marriage and a game of Jenga?

In Jenga, you start with a solid foundation and take things apart, but in marriage, you start with two crazy people and try to build something that doesn't fall apart

When my wife and I were first dating, 'date night' meant a fancy dinner, maybe a show, or a romantic walk.

Now, 'date night' is successfully ordering takeout and watching one episode of a show before one of us falls asleep on the couch.

I remember when [Groom's Name] was really trying to impress [Bride's Name] back in their dating days. He'd talk about whisking her away for romantic weekends and cooking elaborate gourmet meals.

Now, I'm pretty sure his most impressive daily gesture is successfully navigating the Sunday morning grocery run without a list, and still remembering to pick up her favorite ice cream.
