It has been said that marriage is like a roller coaster ride. Yet, it's just a dramatic way of saying it's full of highs and lows. There are many happy and thrilling moments but also several challenges. There is no secret to a lasting and successful marriage, except for probably enjoying the good and surviving the bad. You should often laugh together and find the humor in the minutiae of married life, then share them online like these couples below.
No More Cold Nights
One of the many benefits of a relationship is having a cuddle partner, especially when you feel a little chilly. Nothing is as unpleasant as being cold, especially when trying to sleep. That's where your cuddle buddy comes through for you.
Besides, it also improves the romance between couples as physical touch is one of the vital love languages in relationships. Maybe that's why most married couples are inseparable. Well, having someone trying to steal your heat isn't so bad.
Excuses, Excuses, Excuses, When Does It End?
Marriages are tricky, and there are times married people don't feel like doing something their partner suggests. That's when the excuse as old as time surfaces, "I have a headache." It's not usually funny when someone says it because you hope they will be as enthusiastic as you are.
This child attempted to get out of cleaning his room using the same excuse. While the father found it funny that his laughter was heard across three rooms, the mother didn't find it funny. We have a feeling the father didn't find the excuse funny, later on.
If You Think You're Sleeping, Think Again
Based on a study in the Journal of Neuroscience, married couples are advised never to go to bed angry, which is pretty valid. As it turns out, our memories are enhanced when we sleep, especially ones that are too emotional. In other words, when you sleep angry at your spouse, that emotion could be preserved or even magnified.
This lady probably heard about the study or just wanted to heed the good ole' advice of resolving the argument before sleeping. Of course, there is also the likelihood that her husband was online and going through his account on a famous microblogging service. She posted this to let him know there was no chance she was allowing him to escape their discussion through sleep.
The High-Tech Married Life
Thanks to technology, we can do many things faster and easier. Because of many gadgets, our lives have become more convenient, especially concerning communication and access to information. Through our mobile phones, we can see and talk to people in faraway places.
Still, that's not getting the best of your gadgets; this example is. Why go through a flight of stairs to speak to your wife when you can do it without leaving your place? Indeed, this marriage is on a different level—probably a peek into the future. In no time, husbands and wives could send virtual hugs and kisses they could physically feel.
Going Out for a Pointless Errand
Some married and live-in couples may deny this, but no matter how much you love your partner, there are days you can't stand them. So, what can you do when you are both stuck inside the house? This woman had the perfect solution: to send her husband to the store.
That's not all, though. She sends her man to the grocery store to find items that don’t exist! Poor guy! Well, that's what he got for getting his wife mad. We have no idea what pissed off this lady, but it's likely something important. An exciting twist to this story would definitely be this woman's spouse finding what he set out to buy!
Late for Being Stubborn
Isn't it annoying getting ignored after giving someone the correct information or direction? This is a perfect example of such an instance. A wife tells her husband where he left his keys, only to be disregarded. The guy likely knew his wife was correct but could not stand that she was always right.
Of course, there was the possibility that he was only being stubborn and didn't want to check the location his sweetheart pointed to. He tried to find his missing keys on his own because to him, it was impossible for the keys to be where his wife said he had left them. If he had listened to her in the first place, they would not have been late for their appointment.
What's for Dinner, Honey?
According to a study, the average American couple argues 156 times a year about where and what to eat. Mealtime is such a big deal that it often leads to fights. Safe to say that food compatibility is important in a relationship. Nevertheless, even if you and your partner both enjoy and can tolerate the same food items, mealtimes could often end up like this.
This wife asked the husband what he wanted for dinner, and he replied with the same question, only rephrased. Since this guy's spouse was "up for whatever," why didn't she just go ahead and order anything? The husband found the exchange hilarious and had to share it on his social media.
Who Needs a Shopping List at Target?
We often need a break from our partners, especially after being cooped up with them in the house the whole day. That's why that mall or supermarket run at the end of the day is essential. Sometimes we might not need anything from there, but just some space away from nagging and crying kids.
That's probably why this wife was triggered when the husband asked what she would get at Target. Maybe she wanted to go and look at the store's new stock before deciding what to get. Besides, who needs a list when going to Target anyway? It's Target!
Sharing Isn’t Always Caring
We always find it annoying when someone ruins our profiles on streaming services after taking ample time and perfectly curating it to suit our interests. That’s probably why the streaming services came up with having different profiles on the same account.
No one wants to come home after a long day and spend ages looking for something to watch because your partner messed up their suggested viewing. We are sure after this post, the partner never attempted to use their profile again.
Always in Your Face
Living alone is one of the many joys of adulthood, but when marriage comes along and you have to live with your partner, it may take quite some time to get used to the new life of living with someone. Little things, such as not using the coaster or leaving the toilet seat up, can cause tension in a new household.
Some partners have found a way of reducing the tension by having their own space within the house. For example, this wife found her sacred place in the kitchen, but the husband was not having any of it.
This One Is Very Forgetful
Marriage is a complete package that on one hand comes with beautiful things, and on the other hand, it comes with weird traits of one's spouse. Take this couple, for example; this wife can be seen complaining about how forgetful her husband is.
This could have been manageable if it was the two of them, but this couple also has children which makes it worse in this case. The poor son is almost always on the verge of missing his soccer practice as the dad can never remember it takes place every Tuesday at 6:30. It’s now the wife’s job to act as a calendar and remind him every week.
When We Realize We Found the Right One
It is indeed true that love is beautiful. One can never know when it hits them and they can’t help but fall bad for it. A person would find himself on cloud nine when they marry the person they truly love. Every day for the rest of their life feels better than before.
Love becomes even deeper when it doesn’t need grand gestures and it is the little things that matter. This couple is the best example of this, as the husband shared the cutest thing his wife did. We all want someone like this in our life who knows what we want without even saying it.
It’s Not How They Show It
It is always very frustrating how these advertising agencies show such unrealistic things. Some people can’t help but compare themselves with those advertisements. These things usually result in disappointment, and according to this person, divorce too. Yes, this might seem a little too far-fetched but it’s true according to this netizen.
In this scenario, this particular store is the one that is causing all the commotion. In the pamphlet, the couple seems very happy, but in reality, they are almost at each other’s throats while deciding who is going to set up the furniture. We hope this comment is just an exaggeration, otherwise, we would recommend that couples do not go to that store.
Subscriptions Make Life Easy
Subscriptions have not always been around. They are relatively recent and have changed our lives since they arrived. People have subscribed to many things—from streaming platforms to self-care products, almost everything is available on a monthly payment basis.
Yet, if someone is a married man, then a monthly subscription to a florist might be the life-changer they need. Obviously, everyone knows that women love flowers very much, so why bother going to the store every few days when we can get them delivered to the doorstep? It might seem a bit too much but it will be a game-changer.
Make Sure to Pick the Correct One
School life is stressful in many ways. For instance, one has to be very careful about where they choose to sit in class because that would usually become their permanent seat for the rest of the year. If you think you won’t have to deal with this once school is over, you are wrong.
Marriage is no different from school in this case. Why? Well, it is simple. Just replace the seat with one side of the bed and the situation becomes exactly the same. So one should be very careful in picking their preferred side of the bed on the first day. Keep in mind whether you want to be closer to the window or the bathroom.
I Have Had Enough!
No matter how much a couple loves each other, there are certain things about the other person that they dislike. These seemingly little things could have a huge impact on a relationship. So it is best that the couple takes note of these things and go the extra mile to avoid them.
Yet, this guy has either not yet figured out that piling up utensils abruptly in a rack is frustrating for his wife or he is just too lazy to do anything about it. From the lady’s post, it seems that she has had this conversation multiple times in the past. So this time, she knew that she already had enough.
Sarcasm at Its Best
The lady in this post is targeting the only things she believes her husband does—trimming the lawn and yelling around the house when he cannot find his keys. Needless to say that she is annoyed over the fact that he does not make any other contribution around the house.
When she used her husband’s body wash while taking a shower, maybe to try it out or just out of convenience, she took to her social media to make the joke. She sarcastically remarked that using her significant other’s body wash has brought out some of his habits in her.
When You Think You Are Too Smart
Betting adds a kind of thrill to the relationship. If you win, you can make the other person do whatever you like or even better, whatever they hate. Having said that, when someone has lost a bet to their wife, it is best for them not to try to outsmart her.
Yet, this lady’s husband has not learned his lesson. When he had to wash the dishes for a month after losing a bet, he resorted to a workaround. The lady got a notification that their credit card was charged $200. Knowing her husband well, she immediately thought that he must have bought disposable utensils. Sadly for the man, the penalty would be two months for trying to be smart.
Maybe in Your Dreams
It is fun to wear beautiful clothes and look good but once they need washing, it is all exhausting from there. The most tiresome chore when doing the laundry, especially for the husbands, is when it has to be folded. So they would do anything to avoid it.
Having said that, this lady does not like to pile it all up in a corner like many people, including her husband. So when she approached him that they needed to fold the laundry and whether they should do it, he replied hilariously that she should avoid crazy ideas. We wonder if they actually stopped at that or if the wife won eventually.
It Comes With the Deal
One of the best parts of marriage is the fact that you do not have to do everything alone. Yet, that is a double-edged sword because, unfortunately, it also includes watching some of your favorite shows—a rule that many men are oblivious to.
So this lady took it upon herself to educate the male population and left them a spoiler for their married life. Although it is fun to watch together, the problem arises when one of you wants to watch another episode, but the other just does not feel like it. Like it or not, that is part of the deal, and the sooner you get used to it, the better.
Little Arguments Here and There
There will inevitably be some conflicts between two people from completely different backgrounds who decide to be a couple and live together. While some disagreements might be quite unpleasant, others might be hilarious. Either way, how you respond to these conflicts reveals a lot about who you are as a person.
For instance, arguments over things like who left the bedroom light turned on, or whether the garage door was left open can be amusing but annoying if it happens too frequently. You can easily go check for yourself and do the right thing.
Needing Some Time Alone
Having children around can be a lot of fun, but there are times when all you wish for is some quality time to yourself. You'd be surprised at how refreshing being by yourself and away from the drama of the kids can be. If you have a loving partner who respects your need for privacy when you feel this way, you'd be in such great luck.
There's no doubt that the guy in this photo is a nice guy. He knows the definition of his wife’s alone time is leaving the house and taking the kids along, and he does just that. We can't blame her for feeling this way, and we're glad she has such a supporting partner.
Don't Shut Me Up!
Being in a relationship can be adorable, especially if your partner is caring. The date nights, early morning texts, movie marathons, and other activities, are all wonderful. Nonetheless, no matter how perfect you think a relationship is, there are always the littlest unsaid things that you must not do. It might seem trivial, but you would be shocked at how many problems it could cause.
This guy, for instance, decided to shush his wife while they were having a conversation. We don't know how he thought that was okay, but you can guess what happened afterward.
Do It the Right Way
In some houses, the guys are the ones who do this, but more often than not, the ladies are always hell-bent on arranging every item in the house exactly as they were. This happens to the point where altering seemingly unimportant details, such as the way towels are folded or how clothes are hung in the closet, can have severe consequences.
For this particular guy, he changed the way towels were folded in the house, but his wife wasn't having any of that. We don't blame him though, because it can be difficult to keep up with things around the house especially if they are constantly changing. After all, he tried, and that should count for something.
Do You Have Permission?
Almost every house has that one drawer that is specifically for irrelevant items. Instead of just littering these items around, they are kept there and ultimately leave the house looking tidy. Ironically, despite the fact that these junk drawers keep the house orderly, they are usually cluttered because anything may fit inside them.
Surprisingly, some homes keep their junk drawers neat and organized. In this case, you must be careful not to place random stuff there without their consent just as this spouse attempted to do.
Evolving Every Few Years
Every marriage goes through different stages as the years go by. For this reason, couples are advised to regularly try new things to keep the love wheel turning. This lady, however, chose to add something interesting to the list of new things to try out.
She decided to unveil a new personality trait every few years, giving her spouse something new to deal with. While we hope that these new characters are good, we cannot help imagining what they really are. Could she be switching from an introvert to an extrovert, or perhaps from a strong-willed lady to an indecisive one? Well, whatever the changes are like, it must surely be fun to see her husband cope with them.
Married to a Multilingual Wife
Most times, relying on one mode of communication can be boring. It can also keep us from conveying our feelings the way we would want to. For this reason, most people have developed several other methods of communicating their feelings to their spouses. This man describes this group of people as multilingual.
Interestingly, his wife happens to be one of them. She has a chest of communication tools that include speaking English, rolling her eyes, slamming the door, and sighing deeply. Decoding what she means on each occasion and responding appropriately is another different matter. We just hope her husband is multilingual too.
When Husbands No Longer Fear Their Wives
A healthy marriage comes with a balanced dose of love, respect, and sometimes fear. Each of these elements in good proportion helps keep every action and reaction in check. Well, it seems like this lady's marriage is losing one of these important elements: fear. She believes that her husband eating pizza in bed over their new bed cover meant he no longer feared her.
Such a statement forces one to wonder what possible punishments an unwelcome stain on the bedsheet would attract. Perhaps the man would spend several nights alone on the couch. Worse still, the lady would mandate him to wash the entire thing himself without the help of the washing machine.
Blaming Your Partner for Scaring You
Living in a house all by yourself can be scary sometimes. You hear a sound but you don't know its source. Fear churns your stomach and rises to your throat. You open the door and the creak echoes down the hallway, reminding you that you're all alone.
Yet, when you're married and share the space with someone else, you're glad because that feeling of loneliness goes away. Also, the next time you get scared, you have someone to run to or at least someone to blame. Unpleasant as it may seem, having someone to accuse is far better than living alone in an empty, scary house.
The Master Key Is Understanding
The best part of marriage, which is often underrated and underused, is understanding your partner. After being with someone for a period, you can predict their actions, reactions, and behaviors to a large extent.
The ability to tell what is going on with your better half and predict what's happening will extend your relationship's lifespan. It's a superpower that prevents you from exhibiting impulsive, argument-inducing behavior. We hope this guy becomes happy knowing this place will be clean and he can easily find his stuff by asking his partner.
When Breathing Gets Irritating
The struggle of putting up with someone forever is real. It's a rollercoaster of emotions, and you'll experience several feelings. Some may be lovely, while others might be weird and unpleasant. Irritation is a foreign feeling many couples struggle to deal with, but it is almost guaranteed to happen.
Imagine getting irritated by your partner's breathing, the body's most crucial function, which keeps them alive. There are many questions to ask, like, did their spouse have an unpleasant habit overnight? What could cause someone to breathe loud enough to irritate their partner? Well, folks, this is the instance where tolerance and heart-felt communication saves the day.
Spice Things up With Good Talk
There's always that time when your friend is telling you a story, and you remember that they've shared it before. Believe us, it happens in marriage and much more often. What do you expect? After all the time spent together, you are bound to repeat stories, and things might get boring for you guys.
It's no fun telling your funny stories, and you don't get as many chuckles the next time you share. We believe the solution is to share it with others as well. Also, you mustn't bear a grudge against your soulmate for not laughing their head off.
Becoming the First to Express
This netizen's advice for married people is not just about a good night's sleep. It tells partners the benefit of being the first to express their feelings, especially after engaging in an activity about the same time. Whether it's a family meal, a movie, a walk to the park, or after a sound sleep, it's a welcome idea for partners to say or do things before the other person.
This individual believes the feeling one gets from saying "good morning" or "my night was terrible" is thrilling. It should be limited to a friendly competition, though, because racing your partner to express your feelings seldom ends well.
Screen Time Before and After Marriage
The bond between couples after the engagement is tight as a drum; usually, both parties can't get enough of each other. It's sweet things and loads of bonding time, hence Netflix and Chill. The level of commitment after marriage is also high, but couples want to enjoy their favorite shows instead of endless bonding time in front of the screens. So it's easy to suspect your partner that they've hidden the TV remote.
Remotes get into weird spots they do not belong in, like getting stuck in the space between seats. Chilling almost doesn't come to mind when you finally find it after much work.
Something’s Wrong With My Wife
No matter how old you are, some things never get old, like popping bubble wrap right after taking your package out of the box. It’s the small things that make your day and give you a chance to appreciate fun things in life, but apparently, it’s not the same for the poster’s wife, who threw away the bubble wrap without popping it!
We get that it’s not an offense (yet) in any country, but it’s the unspoken rule to pop the wrap before discarding it. So if the poster thinks there might be something wrong with their partner because of it, we totally agree.
Guess Where the Game Is
Husbands have a knack for making their wives angry for no apparent reason, and we’re not saying that without evidence. You can look at the picture here and see how the husband responded to his wife’s messages. He might have thought it was fun, but what if his wife actually got mad at him?
On the other hand, we can say that she might have found this interaction funny if this is usually how he responds to her messages. We are just wondering how long it will remain that way until she becomes super mad!
Wardrobe Vs. Cargo Pants
He wouldn’t be the first married guy to say that his wife takes up more space in the wardrobe than him. The women’s fashion industry is big, and most women love to keep up with the trends, which makes it impossible to keep some things and discard others. Hence, a wardrobe full of womanly stuff and a corner dedicated to the husband’s clothes.
It’s a battle that the male counterparts won’t win easily. If they want to, they can try being more fashionable to justify getting more closet space than their wives.
The Chore Compatibility Factor
People look for various ways to find a compatible life partner for themselves. Some rely on astrology, and others find their partners while enjoying similar hobbies. Before you go on and try one of the popular methods, here’s a trick that can make it easier for you to find a life partner.
This poster knows what they are talking about because chores are a crucial part of married life, and if either doesn’t like doing a chore, it can give rise to a few arguments every week. So, when you are out there looking for a soulmate, make sure to ask for their chore preferences.
The Charm Has Worn Off
It’s not common for a husband to realize that he’s not charming anymore to his wife. This man is certainly part of a different species because he realized that his charming gestures are not working anymore. We say it’s the first step to finding a new direction in your relationship and surprising your wife with a brand-new gesture!
While this man has self-identified the issue, many continue to use the same old lines and cliches they think are still charming. If only they take a closer look at their partner’s face while doing that, they’ll know how wrong they can be.
