I totally love this video (not just because I have a crush on Justin "I'm a Mac" Long--even in a fake beer belly). But it's funny to me to hear the single guys laughing about how true it is and how awful marriage is, while I'm laughing about how true it is and how great marriage would be.
Sure, there are times when there's tension, when you argue with your partner, when one of you or the other puts on a few too many pounds (or pounds out a few too many...never mind). But that last scene, where they're loading the groceries into the station wagon and watching the club kiddies longingly, well, that's my life. And I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Because my guy is my best friend, and the funnest person I know. We're so totally boring, by other people's standards, but we don't care. Because we're happy together.
Marriage (or whatever you want to call it) isn't about being happy all the time. It's about taking the good with the bad. It's about me picking up the slack when he's recovering from surgery, and him covering for me when I can't walk the dogs because I sprained my knee. It's about all the stuff shown in the video, and all the stuff you can't show in a video.
Dang, I'm making myself ver klempt. Talk amongst yourselves. I'm gonna call my sweetheart and tell him how much I appreciate him.
