Ok did you all just do a double take? I know you don’t read
many articles with those words in the title right? Remember when we were
single? I was little miss Abstinence so
I was always telling my married friends. When I get married” It’s gonna be a
party in my house every night! Woo Woo!
Yeah girl!”And my married friends would just nod their heads silently and say “Yep….um…sure.”
I never understood what the issue was and why they would laugh. Finally one of
them pulled me aside and said. Let me let you in on a little secret. When you
get “married” Sometimes “Biggest Loser or DownTon Abbey is on and you…gotta
make a choice!” Well 9 years into marriage …now I get it!
So what am I saying? Marriage lost all it’s sex appeal day
one? No way! My wedding night was hot and steamy. I remember putting on my
beautiful silk white neglege and waiting for my prince to emerge from the
bathroom in whatever hot outfit he had brought. Instead my husband rolled out
in green and yellow plaid sweat pants and a rubber ducky t-shirt that said
Don’t Worry Be Happy! And that’s exactly what we did! Well most of the time
anyway. We have a single girl living with us and we joke that living with us
and our two loud fire ball children is great abstinence enforcement.
So , Sara was asking about being married yesterday and is it
sexy? What am I gonna tell her? The truth that
a hot night at my house is “Parenthood”on NBC on the couch talking about
the Braverman’s like their real people ? Or that my husband’s snoring has caused
many a talk of murder( not divorce) from
the hours of 1 -5:00am? Yes it seems at times we’ve lost
our mo jo and we’re an”old married couple.” But we’re not out of the game
completely. We’re not dead!
I realize that sexy is an evolution. You know how you can
look at an older movie star and say “He’s still sexy” Robert Redford. When my
mom saw the movie Indecent Proposal. I think her exact quote was” I would have
gone on his Yacht for free!” Go Barb!
But for me I found my husband Ron insanely funny the minute
we met and I saw him perform. He was doing stand up and absolutely killed it.
He had the crowd in the palm of his hands and yes, it was sexy. I also found it
sexy when he brought dough nuts on the airplane about a year later and over a
box of Krispy Cremes somewhere over Ohio I fell in love. I won’t bore you with
“love stories” here because we’re all about the sexy right? But seriously, how
do I explain marriage to someone who hasn’t been there?
It’s almost 9 years later and I ‘d like to recount some of
my husband’s most sexy moments.
1.
When he did the Dance from the movie Dirty
Dancing at our wedding better than Patrick Swayze even though he threw his back
out in rehearsal.
2.
When I forgot my car keys at my friend’s house
at 11:00pm and Ron drove all the way back to her house to retrieve them for me
even though he had been sleeping.
3.
When he cleaned out the freezer without being
asked and on my birthday always takes me on outtings like the time he took me
to this famous Museum called the Getty. He knows I’m not into fancy culture but
he knew the food their was delicious so we ate and left! He speaks my love
language!
4.
When he wore matching Pink Footy Pajama’s for
our Christmas Card and to Ruby’s school pajama party without missing a beat.
5.
When he fully choreographed a dance number to
the theme song from Disney’s Frozen to sing and perform with my 6 year old for
her upcoming school assembly.
6.
For my anniversary he wrote me individual notes
for each song he was about to Kareoke to me in his car. He serenaded me to “The
Wind Beneath My Wings” with full abandon. I laughed. I cried. It was better than
CATS.
My husband Ron is sexy! He is confident and funny. Ron
always said” Funny Guys Get Chicks!”
So I hope in some way
this has been helpful for those of you that are married or single reading this.If
you’re married. Why don’t you take the challenge and write down your spouse’s
sexiest moments? You might surprise yourself and then be bold and share it. It could be the
start of something really…hot!I’m just sayin! Maybe he’ll figure out all those
times he did the dishes how attractive that made him to you. You know what they
say…”Sex starts in the kitchen!”
