Marriage Superpowers
Who knew that when you get married, not only did you have built-in excuses for events you didn’t want to attend but you got superpowers as well?
Yep - real live, honest to goodness superpowers. Here are the ones we’ve experienced so far.
1. Super Silent Speaking : This is when Husband and Wife don’t need to waste precious energy by speaking in complete sentences. The couple starts a conversation when 
the Super Silent Speaking power kicks in and reduces time and effort! Here’s a minor example, but the possibilities are endless!
Wife: Sweety, where’s the twine?
Husband: In the garage under the -
Wife: Tablesaw. Great thanks.
Now there was no reason for Wife to know this. It was Silent Speaking. Think of the possibilities!
2. Family Stress Sonar: This comes into play at holidays and family get-togethers. Here’s the scenario - husband and wife are two rooms away. Husband is in the room chatting up Uncle Stan, listening to the never ending saga of his neighbor and how he only mows his yard once a week. Wife is talking to the women-folk about cousin Susie and her new baby. When it happens - Wife is asked when she and Husband plan on starting a family. In an instant, Wife throws mental signals across the room, over the grandparents head and hits Husband with a psychic blow. That’s his cue to come to her rescue by distracting the family. Crisis averted.
3. The Mysterious Mind Meld: This fantastic super power can come up in many ways and get a husband-wife team out many the jam. This is when the husband-wife team is in the presence of another person whom one or both parties want to get away from. Let’s say, a car salesman. So Husband and Wife are leisurely looking at cars, when all of a sudden, the evil car salesman approaches. All at once, the wife knows the husband wants to get away but it’s too late. Wife jumps into action by making an excuse why they need to leave or succumbing to some girlish flight of fancy. Pretty much anything that would cause Husband to give the salesperson the “Silly woman” look and together the couple flees the situation.
If we have mastered these three Marriage Superpowers in 5 years, I can’t wait to see what year 10 holds!
Anyone else out there have some Marriage Superpowers they’ve gained?
