Top 15 Benefits of Having a Husband



Nate and Kelly Bailey

1. You have a solid reason to do your hair and makeup each morning.

2. You never have to make the bed again (this may just be a personal benefit, but it’s one that I find quite satisfying).

3. You have a great excuse to have cookies in the house.

4. Husbands can move heavy stuff.

5. Saturday mornings can now be spent talking with someone other than yourself.

6. You no longer have to wait 2 weeks to have enough laundry to run a dark load.

7. You can use him as a plausible excuse to leave a dull social event early.

8. Two words: Grocery runs.

9. Husbands will almost always laugh at your jokes.

10. Someone besides you can possibly be to blame for your cluttered garage.

11. A lightbulb needs changing? Doorknob is loose? Weatherstripping needs to be replaced? You are no longer the default person for these tasks. These are man jobs.

12. The heating bill is lower because he doubles as an electric blanket at night.

13. Your vehicular problems are now potential opportunities for him to morph into Superman.

14. Leftovers are no longer an issue.

15. Making a baby just got a LOT easier.
