To All Married People: 30 Times Twitter Got Married Life Just Right

by Sejal Parikh · January 25, 2016

Everyone thinks they know what married life is like until they get married.

Is it hard?

Is it easy?

Is it magical?

Is it mundane?

What does married life really taste like?

While we do not have any definitive answers because we still believe in the ‘no two marriages are alike’ dictum, Twitter does have a few hilarious insights. In fact, we might even go on to claim it has captured marriage perfectly. Take a look and laugh away:

1. Because you promised to ‘be there…’

Sorry. I was late because I had to find all the things that were in plain sight for my husband.

2. Word.

Marriage is just texting each other "Do we need anything from the grocery store?" a bunch of times until one of you dies.

3. Coz unlike what they say, keeping score is important, eh?

My husband still talks about that one time he loaded the dishwasher correctly like it's going to get our kids into Harvard.

4. You gotta play smart…

Making sure you're the first to ask "what do you want for dinner" so you don't have to be the one to decide. #marriedpeopleproblems

Marriage is just a series of prolonged pauses before one asks the other, "… Did you fart?"

Your husband shouldn't stop dating you when you get married, and you shouldn't stop getting ready for the date. #marriagelife
