Today’s Friend Friday post is brought to us from Kendra @ A Proverbs 31 Wife. Thank you so much for sharing with us today Kendra! Please be sure to stop by and visit her corner of the blog world!
Because we are celebrating 4 yrs. together this month, I thought I would take a moment to talk about marriage.
If you were to ask what the most unique thing about our relationship is, I would definitely say it is how much fun we have together. We were friends first. It was not a case of love at first sight.
Having been friends first, gave me a chance to get to know him. We weren’t trying to impress each other as often happens when you are dating. Instead we were each being our goofy, quirky selves, and having fun together.
A bit of fun together after we started dating.

As usual, we are cracking up over something!
I like to make my hubby laugh, there is something about his laughter that makes me laugh and we just have a good ol’ time!
I read somewhere once, that laughter is good for you. I know it’s good for our marriage. Just having fun together is important for our relationship.
What happens when one of us hides, while the unsuspecting other walks around the corner and gets startled? How about the time he put a huge marshmallow in my cereal? Or the time I put sliced cheese in his sandwich but didn’t take the wrapper off? At the end of the day when we are both at home there will usually be a confrontation, a tickle fest, and laughter, which leave us staring into each other’s eyes.
A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance… Proverbs15:13
A merry heart… that means, even if he left his lunch box on the counter again, and his work shoes are in the bedroom. Don’t let resentment build up. When he is sitting on his bum while you are working, be cheerful!
I have noticed that my attitude sets the atmosphere of our home. When I am able to overlook his faults and imperfections, things run smoothly. They may not run quickly or even in the right direction, but they run smoothly. When I am upset and nagging, things grind to a screeching halt.
Our attitudes can make or break our marriage ladies, which one is your attitude doing?
Oh how right you are! Our attitudes can make or break our marriages. And laughter is so important in any marriage. This is my husband and my 16th year together. And I can honestly say that laughter and a good attitude have made all the difference! Happy Anniversary Kendra! May you have many, many more happy years together! Thanks so much for sharing these words of wisdom and for linking up with NOBH! Smiles!
Yes it is very important! Thank you for stoppin by! Blessings!
“Don’t let resentment build up.” How true. I find when I get resentful, I walk around angry and it just builds. However, when I feel it boiling I can get past it and focus on other things. Thanks for sharing you two.
Yes, resentment just continues to build if left alone. Thanks for stoppin by! 🙂
I LOVE Kendra!!!! This is such a GREAT reminder!
That it is 🙂
Laughter is so important in marriage! My husband jumps out and scares me ALL the time. Our son thinks its hilarious!
Haha! I usually am the one doing the scaring, I don’t scare easily and he will zone out which allows me to sneak up and startle him 🙂
Lol! That’s great! A child’s laughter is wonderful! 🙂 A couple’s fun is also a wonderful thing! 🙂
