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."
We call those "Fend For Yourself Nights" when we're all too tired to cook and we just have cereal or microwavable leftovers for din din
We had 'Fend for Yourself Fridays' but the kids substituted Fend with another F word. Same result though

We call it, "Every Man For Himself". That's what my mom called it and I've carried it on.
We call that a free for all. What's for dinner? It's a free for all.
We called them Seafood Nights! If you can see food, you can eat it! Kids LOVED it!!
We called these "Forager Nights". I highly recommend that. It makes it seem fancy. It's also why both my kids can cook now.
We call that Getyas. As in "I don't know... just go in the kitchen and getya something."
My husband and I call it "grazing." We do it at least one night a week. Our kids are teenagers. "What do you want for dinner tonight?" "Let's just graze."
My mum called that dinner "If it" as in "if it's in the fridge or the pantry then it's dinner"
Learned this from watching the Meerkat documentary. We call it foraging!
This is a weekly occurrence in our house. It's called Feed Yourself Friday. I highly recommend it
I declare it taco night tell my oldest to start browning the meat and I'll be right out of my room. She finished browning the meat and I tell her add the seasoning and a cup of water... Be out in a sec. Oh while you're at it open the can of olives and grab the lettuce out of the fridge. By the time I come out of my room, I just have to chop the lettuce, open the jar of salsa and we're ready to eat. And that's why everyone mom should have a taco kit when you're too tired to cook.
My aunt called it catch is catch can and it was every Thursday. Lol
Sometimes there's just too little time or energy and too many good leftovers.

This was just Sunday supper when I was growing up. "Mom, what's for dinner?" "Whatever's in the fridge."
Haven't seen it commented yet, so I'll tell yous guys 1 my mom used, & I've continued it w my kids, "must-go". As in whatever is in the fridge (as far as left overs) MUST GO! Grab what yous want & thats what you'll be eating for dinner. It cuts down on food waste. My kids don't mind at all! Also, when I make plenty of food &/or just want to help my parents out, I'll drive to their home (10mins away) so they can enjoy the home-cooked meals as well. They both work labor intense jobs & extremely long work days even in their 60's, so I love to help wherever I can to make life a lil easier for them. It's a win-win for us both honestly!

My mum would say I don’t feel like cooking tonight so if you want something you’re going to have to sort it out yourself! Normally after she had been shopping for groceries as she HATES shopping for anything, but she would pick up anything we asked for so it was easier for us. This lead to both my brother and I being able to cook from a young age so it served at least two purposes
We called that "Eat whatever you want as long as it's healthy" and it was a VERY popular option. Did not overuse it though.
I have 6 siblings and we didn't call it anything. Most of the time that was the way it was. We are all pretty good at cooking now.
Kids(18 and 15) "mom what's for dinner?) Me "your favorite" Kids "whats my favorite?" Me "whatever your making yourself. Pls make extra and share with me too
I totally feel this one. I cooked three times this evening, four different dishes, because (1) I'm on a diet, (2) the kids only ate half of what of cooked (no vegetables), (3) my husband was home late and ate the vegetables with lots of chili and wrapped (but no protein because the kids had eaten it), and then everyone was still hungry, so I (4) fried sausages. Just a normal Tuesday with toddlers.

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.
