You guys crack me up. Isn’t it the truth, it all comes down to bodily functions. I remember when I first started dating Match, I’d make him look away when I’d spit while brushing my teeth. Now we have no shame, and we both think it’s hilarious how shy we used to be.
The pregnancy and birth thing has me a little freaked out, I’ll admit. I plan on making Match stay up near my head, but knowing him, he’ll want to see the gory details. UGH!

Comfort is everything. Obviously this is just our way of pointing that out in a fun way.
Thanks for the great comments.

Ultimately, what keeps a relationship healthy and alive is being completely comfortable around each other. Any sense of being judged and unappreciated is going to poison one’s mutual feeling. Being there for each other through all life’s messes helps to forge a powerful bond.

Funny and true! There’s nothing better than knowing that someone really knows you… and loves you (and feeling the same). True love involves ALL the senses.

I was so worried that my husband would totally be so grossed out about the birthing process that he wouldn’t want anymore kids, but it actually didn’t bother him at all. I think it grossed me out more then him. ;o0

Babies, body fluids and “tarfing” (we were never allowed to say fart as kids!)really are part of the bonding experience. Talk about intimacy. Great post, Guys!

I had to laugh about the birthing process, because you guys sure took it in stride. My husband did too, although he did joke about how it was too bad that the “good old days’ were gone when husbands just waited in the waiting room and handed out cigars.
I’m pretty sure he was joking about that, but with our oldest getting ready to become a teen, there’s no point trying to clarify how he really felt about the delivery room bonding experience after all this time.

I’m so happy I could inspire you GUYS with one truly poopy story. Your list reminds me of another one though… regarding Bonding Experience #1.
Back with my college girlfriend, we used to spend long evenings together at her house, waiting for her parents to either go to bed so we could make out like crazed weasels, or for them to kick me out. Often times, I’d have a major gas episode, but would sooner seal my cheeks closed with crazy glue than let anything slip in front of her, her brothers and her parents.
I remember one night, after a slow torturous kiss goodnight, having the door slam behind me and just joyfully farting my way down the steps to the car. I was walking the walk of total bliss, because there was more than young love hanging in the air.
Ages later, I found out that on the other side of the door, my girlfriend was farting HER brains out too, much to her mother’s amusement. (she’s the one that told me about it)
It seems we’re really not so different after all.
