So, I'm getting married and with every major positive thing there are a few underlying benefits that are worth mentioning. This blog entry is devoted to listing a few of them.
1. I will leave my parent's basement. There are a lot of spiders down there. My record day of spider-killing is 6. The record leg-span is between a quarter and a 50-cent piece. I use the toilet scrubber more for spider killing than cleaning the toilet. That weird statistic of how many spiders on average people eat during their sleep will go down, especially for me. I've never seen the movie "Arachnophobia" because it seems so commonplace, yawn.
2. My new roommate will be a live-in best friend. I will have so much extra time in the day that I'm not spending on the phone or in transit to see her. All of those things I think of when I'm alone that I want to tell her I can just look over and say.
3. This one is pure speculation. Cooking for two will be much better than for one. People always seem to gain weight after they're married. It's because they're no longer starving right? I dream of Natalie cooking dinner together. She's in charge and tells me what things require chopping. Meanwhile we have a vinyl record playing on the turntable.
4.
This is an open-ended entry, so I'll add more as I think of them, or more likely just abandon it and move on with life. Please leave a comment of other secret benefits you believe are worth mentioning.
i know one. There are now two people working for the same thing-which makes everything so much faster. Imagine two people trying to fold clothes-boom. done. twice as fast. and a lot more fun cause you have someone to talk to while you do it. imagine two people trying to clean up a living room, or research the best place to buy a new table, or two perspectives of how to solve that irking problem in your life. You now have two minds to help figure it out, or four hands to help clean up instead of just two. it's called teamwork, aka marriage. its kinda cool. def a hidden benefit I never thought of until recently. :) every little mundane daily task before is now more fun cause there's someone to laugh with you through it. yay. I'm excited for you two. :)
ReplyDeleteyou get to go on family vacays together... you get to shower together (to lower the water bill, of course)... you get to spoon while watching tv at night... and be so totally gaga in love and no one cares... just sayin.
