A Sacred Oath

When my husband and I got married we entered into an agreement. We initiated a promise, a pledge, an oath that went beyond the scope of our marriage vows. We created a covenant that was to last for all time and that covenant was this:
I could babble at him to my heart's content as long as he could ignore me.
13 years and 6 kids later, our marriage is still strong. The love has blossomed, bloomed, and spread like a kudzu vine.
And I owe it all to our great communication skills.
What kind of silly agreements have you made in YOUR family...and have they been beneficial in your relationship?

We have agreed that I die first, for the simple reason I could not live without him, silly and really that's just a joke between my husband and I.

Oh, that's sad. I'm sorry for your loss.
I've told my husband that we need to die at the same time. That way neither one of us are left alone.

@Genipher nah I don't wanna do that, I used to but I started practicing trusting him more. I realized that if he has something to hide I would find out soon enough from him but so far, my husband's been very trustworthy and I'm proud of him and myself for not stalking him. Lol
