This weekend saw Chachoo and his Dulhan's one year wedding anniversary. Can you believe it's already been a year since we last traveled to Pakistan to attend their wedding?
Here's a cute tidbit about Chachoo and his wife - they truly believe they will never have an argument. Never! I tell everyone this, and Dulhan says that you can tell how long people have been married by how loudly they laugh. Can you imagine - never arguing with your spouse! This whole topic started soon after Chachoo moved into our house last January. He and I were talking about something, I think I was telling him that he would probably be the silent treatment type during a fight just like his brother. He replied that he and Dulhan would never have a fight. Fine, I said, during an "argument" then. He said they wouldn't have an argument either. Yeah sure, I said, during a disagreement then. He said they weren't even going to have a disagreement! Then we discussed the exact definitions of disagreement/argument/fight and he begrudgingly admitted that they might occasionally disagree about something, but it would never become an argument. He just thinks they're both so agreeable and mild mannered that they'll never argue.
The kicker is that later, when Dulhan came here, I asked her if she also thought that and she said YES! Dulhan also believes they will never have an argument. That when I started saying that I'm going to have to get them to write it down on a piece of paper and sign it so I can present it to them one day in the future. Occasionally I will ask them if they're still argument free and they both say yes - so far.
Join me in wishing the happy couple Happy Anniversary. Do you have any fantastic marriage advice - especially if it's about avoiding disagreements, arguments, or fights?
