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, donât 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.
Husband here. I do all the cooking. Indoor, outdoor, holiday, everyday, picnics, camping. All meal planing and shopping. Not because I want to control something, but simply because wife can not cook.
Thanks for speaking up jmdirks. My husband now cooks like 70% of the time. Granted, if I donât cook a veggie or specialty ask him to, weâre just having meat and maybe cheese and bread; but itâs damn good meat and he works hard to make it. It sounds like your wife and I are lucky to have excellent husbands.
Load More Replies...This is the same person whose extrovert hubby is eating beef jerky with strangers on a plane
I don't mind the cooking but it would be a f*****g blessing if someone would do the shopping for me and clean at least half of the greasy stove afterwards.
If she does have more than one husband, I like the guy eating beef jerky with strangers on a plane a lot better.
Load More Replies...I live that one, I am the prep chef and my husband is the cook. When it is my turn to cook, he doesn't take my job...
The one time my Dad offered to cook us kids dinner, Mum came home to the kitchen on fire...
Yeah they think "bbq'ing the meat" is prepping dinner. Way back, I cooked, he cleaned the kitchen. Every night
I actually saw this happen in my early 20s and afterwards every one praised his cooking. I was with this family a lot and when the father/husband grilled he was actually engaged in the entire process and it was a family affair. We all have different interests but when those interests intersect with the mundane (a normal dinner at home) it can becomes an event, like I witnessed. Naturally, the family had issued like all of us do, but it was heartening to see the family want to engage with their oft times distant father on these occasions. Hopefully,, irl, the OP feels there is a balance in the relationship. I how we all find that balance it takes a little bit of time to work out who does what most of the time. Took is about 5 years of marriage to feel 'fair' in whatever roles we did in the house. Going on 22 yrs this year.
Yes, once upon a time it was hilarious to joke about women being incompetent and weak minded children who needed special looking after by their men. Now apparently itâs hilarious to have the joke flipped? I mean, maybe it could be funny if so many women didnât actually believe what theyâre saying. It should be 50/50, just straight up respect and equality. It can be like that in a relationship if you donât take on a parent/child role.
Load More Replies...Yep. Feeling all that right now. And so here reading BP and ignoring my work...đś
You may be doing something wrong during the night. Just saying. đ
We called that "the hunt". "What's for dinner?" - "just go hunt something for yourself."
Dads the first month of being a parent vs. the rest of their lives.
Its really good for kids' development to be consensually swung around n stuff
I moved from a southern us state ( rice, dauted fresh veggies) to a northern state ( stewed meat and potatoes..my god the potatoes ). One day i was homesick and cooked some foods i wanted. Stepkids balked and (ex) hubby said " what did you expect?" . One of the most hurtful things that happened to me. Ex husband idea of making dinner was to call the pizza place for delivery
Sometimes wish I enjoyed alcoholic beverages in order to partake in these pleasures. Hope chocolate milkshakes will do the trick!!
*huband. You mean an extra child... I do not get why women take this from the men in their lives...
I once thought my kid lost my keyes, because I remembered her playing with them, and been bitching about it two days, when I found them in. My. Effing. Purse. Where I looked multiple times of course. But I've owned that and apologized to my kid for accusing her wrogly and since then every time I look for sth she yells from whichever part of the house: "did you check your purse?"
And the poor dog is having a nervous breakdown at all the negative energy!
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 đ
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 itâs pretty sexist. Maybe Iâm just lucky to have a husband who really does do 50% of the work. But I also donât treat him like an incompetent child, and I think thatâs at least some of the problem in many of these relationships.
Load More Replies...Idk why everyoneâs hating on @Ryan Deschanel what he said was funny. And Iâm 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.
Load More Replies...Yes! Yes it does. You go ahead and try that. I won't judge.
