Marriage often involves developing creative ways to communicate – especially when one partner isn’t responding to texts. One husband’s brilliant solution to this common problem has people everywhere nodding in recognition and laughing out loud.
His initial message about laundry and dinner was left on read, so he upped the stakes with news of a raise and new car. The instant enthusiastic reply proved his tactic worked perfectly. His reveal that it was all just a ploy to get her attention is the kind of good-natured teasing that keeps long-term relationships fun.
This exchange captures that perfect balance between playful and practical that makes marriage work. It’s a reminder that sometimes you need to think like a stand-up comedian to get your partner’s attention – and that shared laughter is one of the best parts of being together.
