I have been married for nearly 15 years and when we hit the 12 year mark, things got a little rocky.
We both work in very high pressure roles and we have two young girls.
We just weren’t talking about what was going on in our heads and instead we were snappy and frustrated at each other. He has a habit of shutting down when he is frustrated and I tend o fly off the handle too quickly.
Things were pretty bad and we had discussed divorce.
Fast forward to last year and he convinced me to start walking with him at night (around 5km). I found night hard because I would spend the day finding excusing not to go. We shifted it to the morning and now there are no excuses.
We wake up at 5.30am, have a shot of coffee and hit the road.
We walk most mornings and on the weekends we take a much longer route and walk for about two hours.
It has changed our lives. I feel so connected to him because we are always chatting about our lives, our dreams and our future.
And the bonus is that I feel really healthy because I am getting so much exercise. Walking saved my marriage.

All of them are old, grizzled men who had seen their fair share of war, so the Pentagon comes up with a unique bonus system for their service. They can choose two points of their bodies and for every inch between them they would get 10k.

First up was the Army general. He chose to measure between the tips of his middle fingers with his arms spread wide. Second was the Air Force, who chose the top of his head to the soles of his feet. Then came the Marine General.

"I want you to measure from the tip of my dick to my balls."

The men running the measuring laughed and then asked him, seriously, where he wanted to measure.

"I am being serious. Now start measuring."

The men tried to dissuade him but he was adamant. Finally, resigned, one of the men takes the measuring tape and goes to take the measurement. When the general removed his pants the man jumped up in alarm.

"Sir! Where are your balls?!?"

"IN VIETNAM!"
