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.
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."
So true. 9 times out of 10 I can tell hubby where whatever he is looking for without looking for it myself. The other time, I can usually find it by looking.
My most used app on my iPhone, beside text messaging, is "Find my Phone". For my wife.
That is the one thing I always misplace. I know it's around the house somewhere, but I can never remember where I set it down. Alot of the time I have to have my husband or son call my phone so I can find it because I tend to get distracted then set it down in weird places without realizing I'm even putting it down. Sometimes I put it somewhere thinking "I'll remember it's here" to avoid that but still forget lol.

Or, it will be in the place he was positive it could NOT be so he never looked there.
The best place for me to "hide" my husbands gift is in plain sight. I swear he wouldn't notice if I dyed my hair blue😉
I'm an adult still living with my parents and this is so true. It's not only my dad but my brother too! They can stare in the fridge for twenty minutes, call me over to find, and I glance in the fridge and see it @.@
🤣 it's always stuff in the fridge at my house too. My hubby and father can't find anything and my daughter and I know where everything is.

Are we out of milk? No Dear...sanity...the milk is in that giant white jug you just moved looking for the milk...🙄
I tell my boys at the firehouse, "Turn your ovaries on and look again! "
Yeah, I'm guilty of this. The missing item could be in my hand, and I'll still use that same hand to scratch my head in confusion.
Long ago I adopted the phrase "if you can find it you can have it" in response to my husband asking me where anything is. It is surprisingly motivating.
Yupp. All the time. Except for the tools in the garage, naturally. That is my territory.
I’m not married but I would totally do this, I’ll be told to look for something by one of my parents and then when I go to find it I’ll forget what I’m supposed to be looking for and just stand for a bit before going back to instead say I can’t find it so I don’t look stupid
Female here, with ADHD. That’s how ‘looking’ works for someone with ADHD. My brain is so scrambled with all the choices of things to look at that it can’t see a thing.
My kids always say, "it's not technically lost unless mom can't find it."
This is what my man does. I checked and he doesn't even move things in a fridge when he's looking for something. And he misses the Thing looking him right in the face. WTF, how are you supposed to find something without looking for it?
My son has the theory that moms have the ability to make items materialize out of thin air. Like I know there's no milk in the fridge, he can't find the milk when he looks (because there's no milk), but when I open the fridge, I magically make milk appear. Dang, he found me out!
OMG my stepson does this constantly. He will swear he thoroughly looked for something for days and couldn't find it, but if we go in his room and look for 5 minutes, we find it with no problem.
Ladies - looking for something just mean that they do not have the strength when looking to move anything - after all it is LOOKING!
Hubby and I have decided that it's actually not a deficit but a superpower at work here. Just like all he has to do is answer my phone call to get any broken technology the be magically fixed, all I have to do is look and I find whatever he's lost.
One of my mum's catch phrases was "You don't look very far do you" as she found something in the first place I looked
At this point my husband gets upset if I won't look for things with him because he knows I'll find them in 5 seconds while he could be at it for ages
When my boyfriend needs something he goes into room look around and ask me where it is. Dude just pull open some drawers. There aren't any dead bodies hiding in there.
I told my then-husband I couldn't find the nail clippers. He said: I moved them to the upstairs bathroom. Then he tacked on: And please remember where they go! He evidently had no idea how funny that was. Also, it was the only time I couldn't find something. One time I looked at my daughter and said: you know, some day you'll have to be the one who finds everything.
If it doesn't get up and hits you square in the face it doesn't exist, if I buy a product with a slightly different colored box it becomes invisible.
I call this Refrigerator Blindness. Unless it's hovering mid-air at eye level, neither of my husbands (current or former) could locate it. And the most-repeated sentence my father spoke to my mom was "Where did you put the [fill in the blank]?"
I'm just the opposite, my wife will almost always find what she is looking for the moment I start to help her look.
I just don’t answer and let him continue to look. He’s gotten about 75% better at finding things.
This one is great. Happened to me last night with my partner. She saw a confused look on my face and me patting my shirt pocket, I hadn't said a word! She goes "Check your shorts pocket probably the right one if its the remote." Sure enough there it was! Lmao!
I tell males to look with their eyes instead of their mouths. In other words, look before you ask!
It’s called a ‘boy look’ in my flat. My daughter asks me ‘where is my brush? I can’t find it’, my reply is always ‘have you looked properly or did you have a boy look?’, she will decide how much of a risk she’s willing to take and if I help look for the brush then she knows that if I can find it in under 30 seconds then I’ll be accusing her of employing a boy look. She hates being accused of that 😂
Yep, man-eyed blindness. Hubby: where's the left overs? Me: in the fridge bottom left behind the beer. Ok ok I saw the beer. If whatever he wants in the fridge is behind something else, he will never, ever see it, until I come in, and show him. Hubby: oh.yeah, thanks.

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.
Load More Replies... 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.
