Romantic Movies That'll Make You Laugh
Romance is serious business. Or is it?
Which do you think your husband would choose if put to the test:
a.) Watch the beautiful tearjerker movie, The Notebook b.) Do
anything that doesn't involve watching The Notebook
My answer is easy. My husband would opt for a root canal rather
than sitting through a movie like The Notebook or Terms of
Endearment. Now don't get me wrong. That doesn't mean he's not
romantic. The man loves deeper than I could describe. He's
simply not a fan of traditional 'romance movies'.
Our date nights usually involve Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler, Owen
Wilson, or Jim Carrey. Those men don't know this, but they're a
huge part of what makes our marriage such a joy. The fact that
our date nights consist of a fun movie instead of a forced
moment means that my husband is happy and relaxed - two very
good things for romance.
Are you looking for a lighthearted fun romantic movie that both
you and your husband will enjoy? Here are some of our favorites.
The Princess Bride (1987) "Is this a kissing book?" The Princess
Bride is the story of a woman who is being forced to marry a
cold, evil prince, while her true love tries to stop the wedding.
I don't know how many times I tried to get my husband to watch
this movie until finally I just put the movie in, clicked
'play', and hid the remote. It's now one of his favorite movies.
He likes it because of the comedy and the fighting. I love it
because it's just a joy to watch.
Groundhog Day (1993) After reluctantly going to cover
Punksatawney Phil for Groundhog Day, a weatherman gets stuck
living the same day repeatedly.
This is one of my husband's all-time favorite movies. Plus, if
your husband is a fan of Caddyshack, he'll appreciate Bill
Murray battling a rodent once again.
The Wedding Singer (1998) Robbie, the wedding singer and Julia,
the waitress are both engaged to be married but to the wrong
people.
Any man who remembers the 80s will thoroughly enjoy this. And,
every woman will be teary-eyed when Robbie sings "Grow Old with
You" at the end.
Love Actually (2003) This movie portrays eight stories of love.
It shows romantic love, as well as love of a father for his son,
love between siblings, and love of friendship. It's a beautiful
story that shows that Love Actually is All Around. It's funny on
so many levels, but also deeply touching.
Romance doesn't need to be serious. It can be fun! Just enjoy
each other. Now go grab a funny movie, snuggle up with your
hubby and enjoy.
