"You don't stop laughing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop laughing." — Michael Pritchard

With a title like Hide the Penis, you might think you’ve finally reached the sex chapter. Hang in there, ya' spicy nugget - that's coming later soon!

In this week's episode, Craig takes the mic to kick off Part 5: The Commitment to Fun & Adventure with Chapter 26: Hide the Penis.

Here’s the raw truth: Laughing together isn't a nice-to-have "bonus" in marriage - it’s a non-negotiable must-have.

When you stop having fun, you disengage, you drift into Roommate-ville, and navigating the hard stuff feels like passing a kidney stone.

We’re breaking down why shared laughter in the "fundane" everyday moments is your team’s ultimate secret weapon, and how a silly cardboard craft from 2020 turned into a multi-year, cross-border connection game.

Inside this Strategic Briefing for Your Team:

• The "Fundane" Reality: 95% of life isn't epic vacations or bucket-list summits - it's laundry, bills, and hauling kids to tiddlywinks tournaments. Here's how to inject joy into the mundane.

• The Origin of "Hide the Penis": The true story of a 2020 pandemic lockdown, a face mask package, a pillowcase surprise, and a late-night retainer lisp ("Goodnight thweetie") that launched a 6-year (and counting...) tradition.

• The 30-Year "Fun Muscle" Atrophy: The true story of what happened to this couple when they put fun on the back burner for decades until they forget what it even looks like - and how to rebuild that muscle from scratch.

• The Daily Laughter Commitment: Why we committed years ago to laugh together at least once a day, no matter how chaotic or stressful the schedule gets.

• Book Cover Easter Eggs: The truth about the purple cardboard penis on the cover of The 200% Marriage book (and the little Canadian maple leaf for our roots).

Don't wait for a romantic getaway to start enjoying your marriage. Stop drifting through the day-to-day, get intentional, and build small moments of connection into the ordinary routine. Find something to smile about today - even if it means stuffing a cardboard craft into a sweater sleeve!

Don’t you dare settle for fine. 🏔️🚀
