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.
Well, makes sense! He's not paid to look at your underwear... :-)

I also fold my socks neatly, tuck them into my shoes, and line the shoes up evenly under the chair. Heaven forfend that a person I see only in their professional capacity should wonder what the heck my closet must look like!
In the US women have to get completely naked and they do everything at once. Explanation to the US people: in Germany for example we only get half naked. First comes the lower part. You stay normally clothed on the upper part. When you are done, you dress again and just open your bra and hold everything up, so the Doc can examine your breasts. Much more dignified and "comfortable" that way in my humble opinion. Also: the actual gynaecologist does the Ultrasound during pregnancy too. There are no "Technicians" (or whatever you call them) for this.

When I was younger, I always wore the biggest, longest sweater I had, so I could hide my butt on the way to the chair. (Explanation to US people: we don't get completely naked and don't have to wear hospital gowns. There is a small changing "room" in one corner of the actual examination room. The gyn brings you inside the room, you go and take off everything below the navel (except socks), go to the chair, be examined, go back to the changing corner and get dressed. Then you come out, just open your bra and hold up everything so the gyn has access to your breasts. Some docs/ people prefer to take everything above the navel off for the breast exam but most doctors I've had did not care one way or the other)
In the US they leave the room while you undress, and again when you put your clothes back on. They just saw me completely naked, but they want to give me 'privacy' to dress? So stupid!

In the US a gynecological exam also includes palpitating the breast tissue to check for lumps or hard spots that could be indicative of breast cancer.

It's a good idea. They can catch things like ovarian cancer, uterine cancer and a host of other issues that could impact you regardless of whether you are having sex or not. Especially as you age. After 40 they are the ones that handle breast care and mammograms.

Also, they will be my newest, cutest unders... I don't want them to think I'm cheap.
I wrap my bra, underwear, and shirt into my pants/skirt. That way if it needs to be moved, for whatever reason, it's in a bundle. I don't do it to hide them; I do it because I dont want anyone touching my underwear.
That and being told to “scoot down” even though I’ve been going through this for 30 years!
Well yeah, I'm not exactly putting on the sexy panties to go to the gyno
Wait, what? During all my gyn visits that had never occured to me as something to do. Wonder if I will start now that the idea is planted..
I don't want them to see my old, ugly but so comfortable plain white granny panties.
I've ALWAYS done this and both matching panties and bra are clean, I've undressed in front of my doctor. He knocked and I was nearly finished, in a hurry and didn't want him to go to another room first ( appointment during my lunch hour) but I still put my panties and bra folded under my clothes
Selective vanity is a thing! It gives a sense of control in a vulnerable situation.
I gave that up just don’t give a crap no more plus it’s too much damn work all that folding and s**t ...get outta here
I've told this one before on here, but it still freaks me out 35+ years later! I once saw a gynecologist who was a locum at the usual doctor's practice. My GP had said to me "whatever you do, DON'T take an appointment with the locum!!" The main doctor had a 6 month wait for an appointment and I wanted to get things over and done with, so I saw the locum. He was about 400 years old and stone deaf. So, in the pre-exam discussion, I had to shout my sex life details for the whole waiting room to hear. At 17 years old, this was pretty embarrassing. When the questions were done, I was lying on the exam table in the usual position, waiting for him to give me the heads up about what he was doing (you know how they warn you before you do something?) Anyway, he must have missed that part of doctor training - he spent the entire exam WHISTLING a merry tune into my nether regions!!
Oh yes and there I was, thinking I’m the only one….. and thinking its a thing only women in the Netherlands do…….
why is it that when you have pants on but your upper part of the body is naked feels okay, maybe even sexy, but when your torso is fully clothed and you're naked below feels sooo awkward?! :D
Why do you take off your bra? That will not be where he is going to look, or at least not where they are supposed to look most of the time...
Once I hit 40 my ob/gyn started doing breast exams and mammograms. Before that they never had me take off my top/ bra

I am NOT by any means, especially around my doctors 🥼, anywho, my first visit ((maybe 2)) I did the hiding of the bra.. I thought why, after that thought i no longer hid the bra, or my personality when at his office for my appts… so HAPPY I decided to 100% be myself around him, because to my surprise he has the same type of personality/ humor as i do… best buds now ((joke)) but keep his nurse and assistant laughing 😝
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.

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.
