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.
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.
I've had "clean out freezer" on my to-do list since December 18th, 2020.
I got myself a Roomba because I finally realised that was the only way my floors would ever be clean. Best purchases of my life. 🤣
I bought one last month and it truly is the best thing ever!!

My husband tries to tell me that most people vacuum every other day. Please tell me he's wrong!
Yes Anna he's wrong BUT if he wants to keep up w that vacuuming schedule than by all means, carry on! : )

I have a wardrobe full of band shirts that I have been meaning to organise for years, I just keep it closed and don't look it at it anymore, and Dolly is something special, don't feel bad for not being as good as Dolly, that woman should be the queen of the world.
I feel you. I'm currently getting ready to go for a run, which is why I'm here.
Oh all the stuff I'm getting ready for. Once I get off this couch y'all see what I'm capable of, I swear.
It's only now I'm all grown up with a home of my own I realise how darned efficient my Mum was and we didn't get pixies visiting overnight to make the home neat and tidy and cook meals. I just wish I realised that before she died so I could have told her.
She probably was able to concentrate on her art because somebody else took care of the mundane stuff.
The exact description of my life! Getting ready to do something and then realizing a month later I forgot to do that but then deciding to push it aside for another day.
I've been getting ready to clean by saying I need to clean that one of these days
It takes me at least four days to go to the supermarket--three days to give it serious thought and the fourth to have very little food left.
We're comparing apples to oranges here. For many artistic people, their art is a joy and very satisfying. Vacuuming is a chore that few people enjoy. I'd rather work on my writing than wash the dishes. (I don't have carpeting so I don't have to vacuum. Ha!)
I just cleaned the bathroom mirror (about 4 months ago) and last Thursday, my brother had fingered a note on it for me to discover with the steam from my shower. That note will be on there for months. Check in with me some time around arbor day.
I like to play "Let's Pretend We'll Do the Dishes." I scrape and stack as many dishes as possible in the sink - silverware on the bottom. Fill the sink full of very hot soapy water. Let them soak for a little bit - a day, maybe two. Then drain the cold greasy water out and start all over again.
I can't remember the last time I cleaned under my fridge although I do think about it once in a while!
My vacuum sits in the middle of my living room. Waiting. I think of it as a sculpture.
Day 1: pull out vacuum. Day 2: walk by vacuum several times. Day 3: throw hoodie on vacuum after returning from walk. Day 4: put vacuum back in closet.
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.

Idk why everyone’s hating on @Ryan Deschanel what he said was funny. And I’m a woman.
Because he is the local misoginistic incel. He is not funnyz he is a hateful extremist
Load More Replies... Why are these people married?And why did they have children? They all sound so bitter and resentful :D
I'm sure it has its perks, and these people are just venting...But being married and having kids seems exhausting.

Yes! Yes it does. You go ahead and try that. I won't judge.
