I love absolutely everything about this post! You’re so funny, and it’s all so touching as well. I especially love the idea of your husband mouthing threats at the car… surely such command over the inanimate kingdom should make him a genius with computers?

His permission was vague and general and I went with it. They are indeed the spice of life.

E — I’ve missed you and am glad to know you’re back. I also loved your description of your marriage. xo

Hey Courtney, The courtship was so long ago I’m not sure I can remember the details. What I do remember is how surprised I was to discover that someone you love so much is absolutely not interested in planning your wedding and that you, in fact, will believe so strongly that they should be.

Dear Marie, I love knowing that you have changed your own flat tire. That, and my picture of you in rain boots, splashing through big, big puddles completes my picture of the Intrepid Poet.

Hello Ms. Jellie — I am a big fan of powdered sugar. I use it to simulate snow, and to make burned things look not so burned. And then it is very useful in hard sauce (that lovely combo of butter, powdered sugar and booze) and in drizzly frostings….

Dear Susan, if he lets you cheer for the other team, then he really, truly, really loves you. What a gem.

You’re welcome Ms. SofaMusings — I feel lucky to be married to him.

OP — May it indeed.

Rihann — I’m thrilled to be your friend! And I love your pancake photos.

Dear Lisa, I believe the good guys usually win, don’t they?

Ms. HMH, Yes, meeting over jumper cables is a promising beginning.

Dear Alice, How did that switch happen from the not so nice men to nice men? I think, honestly, that I had a string of only meeting nice guys when I was in my mid-twenties. The not-so-nice ones were out of the country or otherwise occupied making tons of money and doing cocaine, so I was available for goodness and never looked back.

How in the world did you EVER get permission from Nordic Guy? I wrote a family life column in our newspaper for TEN WHOLE YEARS and I was never permitted to even mention that I HAD a husband…unless I was on deadline, had nothing else to write, and was also crying, and then he would let me write that he’s a Cubs fan or something. (He also thinks the whole Facebook thing is unfathomable. Why would ANYONE want to be friends with everyone?) Oh, well, they’re the spice of life, right?

Funny, wise, honest and familiar. I’ve been offline for a while (doesn’t that sound computer science-y?) but am now inspired to play at this little How’s Yer Marriage game on my own quiet little Interweb corner.

I am very interested in hearing more about the whole courtship, by the way. :-)

I, too, have this unexpected reputation as some sort of computer whiz, but I’m the only one who reads owner’s manuals & directions. But that’s fine, b/c when it comes to automobiles I’d rather look clueless. “Look” being the operative word — in shop class in junior high I took apart a car engine & put it back to together again, and I’ve changed my own flat tire. I’m capable — I read directions! But why get dirty & oily if you don’t have to? Thank you for sharing your story in your own inimitable way! xo

My husband is not handy at anything but dishes and helping out with the kids, and that’s plenty!! He also lets me cheer (loudly) for Arsenal, even though he supports another team. And he lets me buy books. :-D Hmm, maybe we should tell our husbands these things too!! lol

I am completely obsessed with other people’s marriages, particularly the good ones. It’s easy to see how a marriage can be bad; much more interesting and complicated to see how they can be good.

My own (very good) husband also rejected Facebook after about 30 seconds, for the same reasons. But I’m on there and would love to friend you.

Maybe I’ll do a marriage post, too…

Thank you for sharing, and thank your husband for allowing you to share him with us, your loyal fans. Jumper cables are certainly a great way to meet!
