In as much as this cracked me up, the message is not lost on me. Humour does help a lot to navigate the difficult crevices of marriage. A couple that knows how to employ it effectively can not be torn apart by any major disagreement.
May our marriages be filled with laughter. Thanks Pastor Dunamis for the great work you do. Your consistency will distinguish and elevate you among kings
You are welcome, Doc!
