Funny, Honest and Relatable Tweets About Married Life

Times are a Changin

Look, while men may deserve a bad rap in the past for our lack of time in the kitchen, things are slowly turning around. We have come a long way from the days of Kraft Mac and Cheese and frozen pizzas. Thanks to a combination of the pandemic and You Tube cooking channels, men are quietly finding their groove in front of the stove, and the wives are going to have to acknowledge it if they want to continue to reap the benefits.

Watch Those Knees Buddy

Ah, the good ole days of the hopeless romantic. Remember how you dreamed of sharing the bed with your spouse, endlessly holding and cuddling each other? I do. I loved the idea of waking up with my arms wrapped around my wife in a tight embrace, dreaming about our future together. Well, that was then, and this is now. Gone are the days of the romantic embrace. In all honesty, I’m not sure that a night goes by without getting kneed by her; it happens all the time. People toss and turn, and unless you’ve got one of those massive, California King mattresses, someone’s getting bruised up.

Damned if You do; Damned if You Don’t!

This reads a bit like the whole towel folding tweet. No matter what we do as men, we are never going to receive the approval of our wives. This is especially true when it comes to the domesticated side of things. If I look at the photo in this tweet, I see dishes that are organized perfectly. Nothing is laying on top of, or blocking anything else from the water jets; the man has made perfect use of the available slots, but such is marriage. No matter how perfectly organized this dishwasher is, the wife will still disapprove and the husband will have to try again.

Today’s Educational Institution

There are many men are not too concerned about their hair cut. We would rather spend time doing anything else than sitting in a barber chair while some guy they don’t know slices and dices our mop. And with the endless number of You Tube tutorials on hair cutting, we are seeing more men opting for a haircut at home at the hands of their significant other. In the end, true love is when you are willing to let your spouse near your head with a sharp pair of scissors.

She Knew What Time it Was

This is a classic look into the inner workings of a successful marriage. On the one hand, the wife knows what’s up. She recognizes from the many previous instances of her husband sitting on the remote, that he was probably once again sitting on the remote. And on the husband’s side, he knows that his wife knows what’s up. To ensure that the rest of the evening will not be left in ruins, he admits that yes, he does not want to move, because he is probably sitting on the remote.

Gotta Love Those Surprises

This may be the best, and most accurate tweet on this list as it sums up the human condition of marriage very well. We end up falling in love based on those early experiences when each person goes above and beyond to prove that they are worthy of a commitment. And we end up staying in love because, even though we are flawed, developing the ability to deal with each other’s flaws only strengthens that commitment and provides a counter-balance to the positive traits.

This is a Test

Your wife’s birthday is rapidly approaching, and, as usual, you are lost as to what type of cake to get her; a task that has not been one of your strong suits over the years. For her 30th, you bought a chocolate cake with chocolate icing and sprinkles; she balked. For her 35th, you got her the vanilla with pastel flowers on top; she called it prissy. For her 40th, you took a chance with a carrot cake; she winced. So when she said that she’d buy her own birthday cake this year, you might acquiesce. But you know damn well that, if you do, she’ll rip you for not loving her, so, maybe try an ice cream cake and hope for the best.

Don’t Ya Just Miss the Pandemic?

The pandemic may have been the greatest test to married couples in the history of marriage. For almost two years, we were quarantined in our often cramped living spaces. And a trip to the local bodega could result in sickness or even death. It was a difficult time to say the least. With that said, while the pandemic may have spelled the end for some marriages, many couples found that not only were they compatible, but that these oppressive circumstances brought them closer than ever before.

At Least She’s Honest

We now live in a age of technological innovation where almost anything is possible, including keeping real-time tabs on your spouse. And when we see a woman tracking her husband’s whereabouts, it’s usually because she suspects that he’s stepping out on her. But it turns out, not all is as it appears. The reality is that Jordyn is more concerned about getting busted for her leisurely activities and the appearance of being lazy than any concern of catching her husband with his secretary.

Yes Dear

We’ve all been there before. You take your wife out for a night at the movies. Before entry into the theater, you stop at the concession stand where you clearly ask your wife, “Would you like some popcorn honey?” “No, I’m good,” she responds. So you grab up a box of the yellow stuff for yourself and off you go. But you know what the deal is, because you’ve seen this movie before, both figuratively and literally. The moment you sit down, she’s gonna start snaking your goods, and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it. This should be filed under that, “Yes dear” category.

Damned if You do; Damned if You Don’t

Communicating in a marriage can be very challenging at times. As the husband, understanding your wife can be akin to learning the Chinese language. There will be instances when she will tell you one thing, yet mean something completely different. This may be one of the more elusive pursuits known to human kind, and it is always best to lower the expectations on your end. You may have to simply chalk this up to, “You’re damned if you do; you’re damned if you don’t.

You Said What?

Eating healthy is a challenge for most married couples. When we are on the hunt to find our significant other, we do our best to look good so we’ll get noticed. This means eating healthy and exercising, but once we find that life partner and settle down into a routine, all that goes out the window. This means that we can eat whatever the heck we want, so when your spouse comes to you with the mandate that “We” are going to start eating healthier, make sure to remind him or her that those days are over and you will eat whatever in the hell you want!
