Married people know that like anything else in this world, marriage has got its highs and its lows. Sure, you have a lifelong partner who is all but contractually obligated to buy you chicken noodle soup when you’re sick—but you have a lifelong partner whose bad habits you are contractually obligated to live with. Forever.
It’s heaven. It’s hell. It’s marriage.

It’s that time of year, arguing with my husband over the ceiling fan speed.
I like “light breeze.” He prefers “F4 tornado.”

I tried on an outfit and asked husband if he liked that one or the next one best…then went into the closet and came out with the exact same outfit on and he looked at me and dead ass said, “Definitely the first one.”

Couples on Facebook brag about their love and perfect life together. Meanwhile it’s a good day when my wife and I are still speaking to each other after going grocery shopping together.

In case you’re wondering what marriage is like, my husband and I just fought over the fact that he wouldn’t tell me where he hid the candy I asked him to hide from me.

If you don’t start a fight with your husband because he’s underreacting to something that you’re overreacting to, then you’re not wife-ing it like me.

If my wife wants to argue, we’re going to argue – doesn’t matter if I’ve already agreed with her – we have to argue until she says everything she planned to say.

A main part of marriage is heavy sighing to let your spouse know you are upset then saying, “nothing” when they ask what’s wrong.

Marriage is just your spouse perpetually standing in front of the kitchen drawer or cabinet you need to open.
