Awesome, Peaceful, and...Healthy

So a few weeks ago someone asked me how married life was. I responded with awesome, peaceful and healthy. They told me those were the most random words they have heard someone use to describe marriage. I explained to them that it was awesome because I live with my best friend and we have so much fun together. We get to make decisions, go on dates, relax together, and love and support one another. Then I told them that it was peaceful because we didn't have a bunch of crazy loud roommates, we could go to bed at a reasonable time and when we came home our apartment was still clean just the way we left it in the morning. Now the healthy part has 2 stories. I attribute one part off the story to the fact that we have a vitamix (super nice blender) and we order bountiful baskets, a fruit and vegi co-op where we get a ton of fresh fruits and vegetables for cheap. We make smoothies every morning and have healthy snacks and meals. We also pack our own lunches. Now this is the story that I usually tell people because this is why I thought I was so healthy and not gaining weight (I heard that couples usually gain weight after they get married). The second part of the story is that I am portion controlled. Let me explain. One day I had told a group of people  that I work with, why I thought I was so healthy (see above), while my wife was at a meeting with an organization we volunteer for she was telling them how she portions my food in small amounts without me knowing. After my work meeting I ran over to our volunteer meeting and relayed the same information to them. Everyone started to laugh, and I asked why. They then said, "you know your wife portions your meals?" This was news to me! It was funny. Either way I am still say that marriage is awesome, peaceful, and healthy and I can attribute that to my wife Bethany!
