Advice for married couples... when people ask if we have any advice for someone who gets married, people always say "never go to bed angry" or whatever cliché is in the last Nicholas Sparks book.
For me it's always: "Happy Wife, Happy Life" or I even go a further step and say "Husbands, love your wife like Christ loved the church". That one will get a Godly man to empty and reload the dishwasher at 3am.
But over time I have really come to believe that you should never let the other one see you poop. Let there be some mystery in the marriage. You should vaguely be aware that your spouse even does that. It shouldn't be seen, smelled or heard.
Some people judge the strength of a relationship or the comfort level you have with someone on whether you can go potty with them in the bathroom or even with the door open... Don't!
Sickness, loss of a family pet our even seeing your husband cry because the Cubs didn't win the pennent again this year is plenty of opportunities to see the love of your life at their most vulnerable, you don't need to be reminded every day...or several times a day. Plus a closed bathroom door can be the only escape a married person can get, especially if there are children involved.
Little fingers coming under the door like zombies hungry for brains are disruptive and sometimes you just need a minute to handle your business in piece.
Let there be some mystery in your married life, don't let taco bell recovery affect how you look at the love of your life. Don't let it ruin the intimacy, let there be mystery.
