24 Fantastic Perks of Being Married
After nearly two decades of marriage, my partner and I have unraveled the true essence of love, commitment, support, and even the occasional frustration. While it’s not all sunshine and daisies, being married has its stellar moments. Here’s a peek at why it’s pretty fantastic:
- No More Dating Drama: Forget those nerve-wracking moments of waiting for a call or trying to decipher your date’s intentions. The uncertainty of dating is a thing of the past.
- Shaving? Optional: Sure, I keep things tidy, but during those chilly winter months? The razor can take a backseat, and my spouse doesn’t bat an eye.
- Bodily Functions, Unfiltered: There’s a certain freedom in being able to burp and fart without a hint of embarrassment. (Let’s be honest, they’re hilarious!)
- Household Chores, Shared: I hit the jackpot with a partner whose childhood involved cleaning! Having someone to tackle chores makes life so much easier—thank you, clean freak parents!
- Team Parenting: Multiply the benefits of shared chores by a hundred when it comes to kids. Parenting is a monumental task, and having a partner to share the load is a lifesaver.
- Warm Feet at Night: Nothing beats the cozy comfort of snuggling up to warm up those chilly toes.
- Netflix and Quarantine: Enjoying a binge-watch session together at the end of the day is the ultimate relaxation.
- No Code for Intimacy: There’s no need to disguise intimate moments as “Netflix and chill.” It’s all out in the open!
- Better Intimacy: Contrary to popular belief, marriage can spice up your sex life. Once you navigate through those exhausting early years, intimacy blossoms into something adventurous.
- Cuddle Buddies: Sometimes, you crave closeness without the wild romps. A simple snuggle is more than enough.
- Rescue Missions: When you find yourself in a precarious kitchen situation, who’s there to save you? Your spouse, of course!
- Remote Control Gurus: I may have a degree, but figuring out the remote is still a puzzle. Thankfully, my partner’s got it covered.
- Compliments, Even in Pajamas: Hearing “You’re beautiful” while looking like a hot mess is a fantastic boost.
- Shared Driving: Road trips become a breeze when you can take turns behind the wheel, soaking in the scenery with snacks in hand.
- Tag Team with the Kids: When you’re out of steam, it’s a relief to hand off the kids to their other parent.
- Venting Without Judgment: Sometimes you need to rant, and having a partner who listens without criticism is invaluable.
- Soft Landing After a Tough Day: After a long day, it’s comforting to have someone to lean on (or curl up with).
- Endless Discoveries: Learning new things about each other keeps the relationship fresh and exciting.
- Vulnerability Without Fear: You can share your deepest thoughts and feelings without worrying about scaring them away.
- Sick Day Support: When one of you is under the weather, having a partner who steps in is a blessing. Who doesn’t love honey lemon tea while binge-watching their favorite show?
- Being Your True Self: You can be completely you, quirks and all, and still be adored.
- Tax Season Buddies: Navigating taxes together not only helps you save but also gives you someone to share your frustrations with.
- Communicating with a Glance: Over time, you develop an unspoken language that conveys everything from exasperation to affection.
- Creating Shared Memories: The treasure trove of stories you build together is a comforting bond that enriches your life.
While not everyone may experience the joys of marriage as I do, I believe it’s crucial to recognize its beauty. Sure, relationships take work, but they can also be incredibly rewarding. For more insights on family and fertility, check out our other blog posts at Intracervical Insemination.
