In the vibrant atmosphere of college life, I encountered my future husband, Alex, during my freshman year. As I was buried in textbooks, preparing for finals, he made a grand entrance, donning a bright red cap and armed with a super soaker—my super soaker, to be precise. With a mischievous laugh, he sprayed me and dashed away, leaving me shocked yet intrigued. Although I wasn’t immediately won over, here we are more than two decades later, and I can confidently say I still enjoy his company.
During the early stages of our relationship, I remember feeling irritated with him, although the reason is fuzzy now—perhaps he had soaked another unsuspecting victim. As he walked me back to my dorm, I tried to ignore his presence, strutting ahead with my hands stuffed in my winter coat pockets. Then, in a moment of pure spontaneity, he sprinted in front of me, pretended to trip, and dramatically fell into a snow mound. It was ridiculous yet utterly hilarious, and in that instant, my annoyance vanished. He had demonstrated his remarkable ability to diffuse tension with humor.
Just the other day at the airport, I witnessed Alex’s knack for comedy once again. An elderly woman in a wheelchair was expressing her frustration to a flight attendant about the long wait to board. After receiving a standard response, her annoyance only grew. Alex leaned over and quipped, “Need a piggy-back ride?” The sight of her laughter, tears streaming down her face, was priceless.
Marrying a man like Alex, who embodies a playful spirit, has been a blessing. Sure, there are moments of embarrassment when he goes all out in public, but the laughter he brings into my life is invaluable. Life can be overwhelming and serious, so why not partner with someone who embraces humor, even in the most absurd situations?
The funny partner has a unique way of showing you that life is meant to be enjoyed, free from the burdens of constant worry. He won’t let you take yourself too seriously and will be there when you’re feeling scared, frustrated, or sad. Even when it seems impossible to smile, he will find a way to make you laugh. Expect playful antics, from super soaker surprises to jumping into snowbanks wearing only his underwear, and all sorts of amusing shenanigans. Just remember, try not to kill him in those moments of exasperation.
Moreover, this partner often has an abundance of ideas and energy that outpaces yours. You can always catch up on sleep later! Contrary to the stereotypical portrayal of the humorous partner, he can also be serious, sensitive, and reliable when it matters most; he understands that life isn’t just about fun and games.
As a father, the funny guy shines brilliantly. He engages in roughhousing, dresses in silly costumes, and his children will undoubtedly look up to him as a hero. He is someone who genuinely strives to see you and your children happy, even bringing joy to strangers, like that woman at the airport.
Choosing a partner with a sense of humor is a decision you won’t regret. Life will undoubtedly have its ups and downs, but with a funny companion by your side, you’ll be laughing all the way through. Just recently, I observed my 11-year-old son entertaining a group of girls with his silly antics, complete with goofy voices and exaggerated expressions. As he pretended to run into a flagpole and fell dramatically, their laughter filled the air, and I couldn’t help but feel a mix of pride and exasperation. Another funny guy in the making!
