🕺 Dancing with your spouse 💃

Tie one on. Turn the music up. Dance with your spouse my people.

Followed my own advice the other night and had a blast with the wife. Kids had fun watching us be silly. Good times listening to great tunes from the 90s.

Terrible dancer, btw. But when the musics playing and your hips start swaying grab your partner and dance. It’s fun. Have fun with your partner. Smile. Live. Laugh. Love. Raise kids that will do the same.

My partner doesn't dance but he loves watching me slide around the kitchen

And funnily enough it's the time I like to dance best, anywhere else and I'm too self conscious

I don’t dance.

The last time I danced was in a country bar in 1985, and the song was “Cotton eyed Joe”.

I’ve almost recovered.

I had a Serious DJ friend in the 90's and I would always request him to play Cotten Eye Joe. He didn't like that.

I had to do a “mixer” for work. I hate these things. We had to introduce ourselves, talk about what we did etc.

We also had to say one interesting, unique fact. Well, me trying to break the ice I said that my fact was I knew every word to Cotten Eye Joe.

“Ok. Thank you.” Not a single crack of a smile.

Cotton Eye Joe came out in 1994

No, it didn’t

It’s been around a lot longer than that, it’s been around since before the civil war.

Multiple artists have recorded it over the last 100 years.

We do this a ton esp when alcohol is in the mix. Gotta slow dance to some old jams too.

I’m an awful dancer. No rhythm gene 🤷. I still dance with her anytime our song comes on. No exceptions. As a salty old veteran, I quietly hope it offends people that someone who clearly can’t dance, is dancing with a beautiful woman. MIDDLE FINGER TO ALL OF THEM!

My husband doesn't dance. He's tried for me but I feel like he is going to break. So it's Zumba for me.

My wife won't even slow dance with me in our kitchen let alone a wedding or other function. "It's embarrassing" she says Friggin 25+ years we've been married and she's "embarrassed"... I tell her it's just a sign of affection. I don't even bother anymore, once I tried to get her on the dance floor and she flipped her shit. Pulled away from me and freaked out. She was raised catholic or something and it really fucked her up.

Try adding significant quantities of alcohol

I'd have to take dance lessons.

And get a spouse...
