Giggling in Bed

My Uncle V and Aunt S shared with us an interesting part of their marriage.

They told us about their grown daughter visiting them. The next morning she stated, "You two are still giggling at night!" It seems that they have been doing this their whole marriage. (They were married just two months before we were.)

They elaborated to say that they share the funny things that happened that day; what the kids did, what happened at work, or a joke that they had heard that day, etc.

Uncle V said that there was a problem with this though. While they were still working, S had heard a joke at work that she wanted to share with him. So, after they had gone to bed she started to tell it to him. Before delivering the pounch line she paused. He anxiously waited for the punch line but the pause got longer. He then realized that she had fallen asleep. Unfortunately, the next morning she couldn't remember the joke. He said that he is still waiting for the punch line.

I thought that this was a good idea for a happy marriage. All to often, we don't look at the positive and fun things in our lives and our marriages. What a good idea, to have a good giggle with your spouse before falling asleep.
