Marriage & Martinis is an online project by a couple from New Jersey, Adam and Danielle. Together they write a blog, produce a podcast, and have even released a book to help take the fun, sexiness, and deep connection of date night to the next level.
But with this article, let's focus on their social media. There, Adam and Danielle delight their followers with humorous content about marriage and parenting; the memes and jokes they reshare paint a hilariously accurate picture of family life, so let's have a look at them as well!

This is not a question of equality. This is not showing consideration for a person who is sick.
It's also the perfect example how it's not about everyone being the same. The one with the uterus destroys her (yes, I know and no) body carrying the little sprouts. They are the next gen and you need them, whether you like it or not. So some respect for carrying out that task is not too much to ask.

She didn't want equality. She was pregnant and motion sick. What a jerk
wtf kind of statement is that??? dude doesn't know the physical struggle of pregnancy. lasses need to rest.
in cases like this men dont even need to understand struggles of pregnancy... being sick from pregnancy is the same as being sick of anything else or have a broken limb or I dont know what else - you just give your f*****g seat to them no matter the gender

Equality means everyone gets what they need, not that everyone gets the same thing. Because when everyone gets the same thing, it only works for some of them.
If she was not pregnant I would agree with him completely, but she was. So that's stupid. And he kind of deserved that
The thing is that at 4 months it's not so obvious in many women! If someone asks you for the seat politely of course you give it! You don't request their health status!! This is the human thing to do!

What an ignoramus, glad he got what he deserved……and nice and warm too!
Equity, not equality: when men can get pregnant and suffer the exhaustion and morning sickness then it can be called equality.
Equality would be him also being sick and pregnant. This is just hating people that "aren't a man (stereotype)", to make excuses for their own shitty, selfish behavior. Being pregnant is the equivalent of running a marathon every day for 40 weeks; I doubt dude was doing that.
[Pauline] when he is 4 months pregnant, then it is equality. HA...JERK!
Terrible people are terrible people. Before I got a transplant, I had a condition known as "Ascites". Essentially, I was 40lb underweight, but my fluid filled belly looked 10 months pregnant. I am a guy, so carrying around a ginormous beer belly wasn't fun. I bet this jerk would have given me a seat or, better yet, he would have expected a younger and healthier person to give up their seat for him, if he had the same condition. But no. Why not make a pregnant woman pay for his insecurities instead?
Equality doesn't come into it until a man can carry a baby and feel the same things!
While he was a d**k, intentionally throwing up on someone is disgusting, you are an adult and know when you are about to throw up, f*****g turn away.
Bit difficult on a bus to turn the other way. And she didn't say she puked on him deliberately. Besides, sometimes you only have seconds of warning (if that) when you're about to spew and she probably spent those seconds thinking "Oh no! Where am I going to do it!!!!"

As an older woman at 50 ..have been there done that! All of my 3 pregnancies ( last one twins) I could not keep anything down for the first 4 month..ended up in hospital with my first because of this non stop morning sickness!. All pregnancies I lived on oodles of noodles Gatorade and saltines for the first 4 months . I stared to eat pretty well 5 , 6 7th month.. 8 & 9th it all started up again non stop sickness.. especially with the twins! All the babies were long and running out of room and would kick my stomach making me sick.. I suffered from the same thing as Kate Duchess of Cambridge did in early pregnancy! Not fun at all! Lesson here is if a pregnant lady needs a seat give it to her!!!!!!
why the f**k you would do it three times after the first horrible experience???

Yeah. A person can clearly tell when another is sick. Especially when going to barf. I'd have done the same
perfect!! i'll bet he always gives up his seat from now on no matter who it is!
I have a chronic pain disorder - and as many disorders of the kind, it's invisible, though I can be in debilitating amounts of pain to the point of barely being able to move and nausea. I didn't choose to get this chronic pain the same way a woman will choose to get pregnant. If I'm having one of my bad pain days I'm not going to give up my seat unless I can visibly see distress or sickness of said pregnant woman or other person who is ill/in pain. Downvote me all you want but the point that pregnancy is usually a choice (at least where I live) and chronic pain is not stands. :/
Rose, no one would expect you to cede your seat if you weren't feeling well yourself. There's a lot of other people around.

Touché! Weak or ill people shouldn't be forced to stand in the name of equality.
Well deserved, what has equality to with offering a seat to pregnant, disabled and elderly ppl? It's called manners.
Just respect elders,pregnant and elders.If i were there i will kick his ass
Did the lady tell about pregnancy and sickness? Neither a 4 months pregnancy nor a sick feeling can be "seen". Yes, the guy was being somehow rude, but on the other handside: Maybe he just didn't know? That's why London metro offers a button saying "Baby on board" (https://tfl.gov.uk/transport-accessibility/baby-on-board), so there is more empathy spread :)
This is lacking context and/or content. Did you tell him you felt sick? Was he an elderly man? Did he even know you were pregnant and experiencing symptoms? I DO NOT SUPPORT mysogyny in any form, but I do support clear communications between human beings. Can't form an opinion without additional info, sorry. When I was 4 months pregnant with my first child, nobody would have been able to tell.
I would like to vomit on you and I am not drunk nor pregnant

Actually, it would. Man does not have a point because he never was and never will be (able to be) pregnant! It's the same as if someone would deny a seat to an elderly or disabled person. This has nothing to do with equality. It has something to do with being decent and compassionate.

Where? On other people, who weren't assholes? As she obviously did not ask another person, I assume the coach was crammed and she had to stand in front of this one man. He did not let her seat and she had no other choice. She was getting sick and she had nowhere else to get it out.

Do you think she did it deliberately? Have you got half a brain

Right because that's definitely something you have control over

Did you get the negative attention you craved, troll?

I'm a women. If I have a seat and an elderly man looks like he needs it - I stand up. If a young man has a cast on his leg, I stand up. If I see a dog looking like he might want to snuggle, I sure as hell make room close to me! It's not about her being a women. It's about a person having a medieval need to f*****g sit down. It's common consideration

This selection, as a whole, really represents the way Adam and Danielle view marriage.
"It turns out that people will judge no matter what, so you really have to do what is best for you and your spouse, 'cause in the end, it boils down to the two of you and your connection," the couple wrote on their website.
"No one else can make that happen. We've learned so much along our journey and made so many mistakes, but we've never given up, and have found so much happiness inspite of all the hardship. No one said it was going to be easy, and it hasn't been. But man do we have fun, laugh, and keep each other youthful and wild. We also give each other gray hair and heartburn now, but we'll leave all that for the podcast."
I have grown very powerful over the years. Not only my pants, but my shirts also are too weak to sustain my mighty body parts.
That means fueling the spark even as you grow older and life starts adding more and more responsibilities. "As a stay-at-home-mom to three kids and two rescue dogs, I've learned how important it is to take time for myself and for Adam and me together," Danielle explained. "Laughing at ourselves and the ridiculous expectations placed on us by society as parents and spouses makes this journey so much more enjoyable."
"I think Adam and I are very in touch with the fact that if we take it all too seriously, we'll lose so many opportunities for fun, hilarity, and bonding. Marriage and parenting are seriously hard work. But it's all filled with mistakes and fails that we can either hide in humiliation or if we choose, we can share them and know that we're not alone. I much prefer that method."
"I like the idea of understanding that we're all struggling with the same experiences and fighting similar battles. It's also so nice to hear stories of people who have overcome these struggles and maybe have some advice and knowledge to help make it more tolerable for all of us. I think that describes Adam and me. We’ve been through so much in 20 years of being together, and we've stayed together. It hasn’t been easy, that’s for sure. But it has been worth it," the woman added.
There are times when you don't want someone to offer solutions to your problems. Sometimes you just need a hug.
Adam is on the same page. "When she had the idea to combine our love for inappropriate conversation, podcasts, and cocktails, it definitely piqued my interest," he recalled the origins of Marriage & Martinis.
"Plus I've seen how much people seem to relate to Danielle's blog and I think this will be an awesome extension of that, with the same 'real and authentic' voice saying, 'we're far from a perfect couple, but we're trying our best and we've never given up on one another.' It will be a new journey, and I think it will be really fun and interesting to see where it goes. Mostly though, I'm really looking forward to embarrassing the crap out of my wife."
Which is probably what many of the people in the pictures are guilty of too!
Also, if you take the last of the toilet paper, put the new roll on the spindle, don’t just leave the roll on top of the toilet tank!
this is like the time my brother got stuck upside down on the monkey bars, so i had to help him. told him to let his legs go and his only reply was "i don't wanna im gonna fall to the sky" i said thats not how gravity works buddy
I feel that one! Every year I did presents for my husband's family, until this year I finally realized why tho? It wasn't that he made me do it, I just kind of did together with other gifts and never ocured to me before, that it could be his problem. I ranted about it every year but never told him. Sometimes I am thick as hell.
Thanks baby. Let's do the opposite. You do my part, I do yours.
Yep. Feeling all that right now. And so here reading BP and ignoring my work...😶
You may be doing something wrong during the night. Just saying. 😜
We called that "the hunt". "What's for dinner?" - "just go hunt something for yourself."

I think this thread is really my wife writing a list using 50 different aliases!
The old funny one in our house is - before I met your father I didn't realise I needed a degree to spread butter on toast nor that there where 27 steps in the process!!! I have refused to make toast for him since his college lecture 15vrs ago and the kids no better than to just no more than 'yes please' when I offer it for them and I secretly savour his regretful face every time I do lol also it paved the way for him never to comment to much on anything else I do in the house 😉
While reading the posts about husbands, I screamed internally, "What? That's so sexist! How dare they?!" And then, moments later, I realise I'm kinda that husband :/
I think it’s pretty sexist. Maybe I’m just lucky to have a husband who really does do 50% of the work. But I also don’t treat him like an incompetent child, and I think that’s at least some of the problem in many of these relationships.
