how to tell if you are married

I was still in bed this morning. The Pastor had just left to teach his 8 a.m. class. My phone, in the windowsill, beeped that I had a new message. So I stayed in bed for a moment fantasizing and romanticisizing what the message said. Maybe:

"You are fabulous and I love you."

or maybe...

"Your hair looked really pretty yesterday."

perhaps...

"Being married to you is the best thing that ever happened to me."
"I wish I was still snuggled up next to you."

or even...

"Thanks for going to eat tortilla soup and guacamole AGAIN with me last night."

I'd settle for...

"I'm sorry I farted on you this morning."

So I creeped out of bed and read my message. Here it is:

"Please bring me my belt".

OK, not quite what I had expected.
