Married life has its highs and lows and a whole lot of mundane moments in between.
But whether we're talking about the ordinary or the extraordinary, some spouses find a way to treat marriage with a healthy dose of humor.
From fighting about who gets to use the new vacuum cleaner first to setting parental controls on Netflix after your partner watches a show without you, we at Bored Panda put together a new list of the funniest marriage tweets we found, and they're just as hilariously relatable as the ones in our older pieces here and here.

To learn about what it takes to maintain a healthy relationship with your spouse, we contacted marriage & relationship coach Suzanne Venker. "The pillars of married life is a shared belief in marriage as an institution, being on the same team (particularly with respect to money, religion, parenting, and in-laws) and a genuine like (not just love) of the other person," the author of the forthcoming book, How to Get Hitched (and Stay Hitched): A 12-Step Program for Marriage-Minded Women, told Bored Panda.
If people have that, Venker believes they can withstand the biggest dangers to their married life: being competitive (or engaging in a power struggle, rather than being complementary by accepting how different men and women really are with their needs, thought processes, and behaviors) as well as the inability to accept the other person (or to accept that some things won't change), and the lack of respect on the part of the wife and lack of romance and tenderness on the part of the husband.
The share of U.S. adults who are currently married has declined from 58% in 1995 to 53% in 2019. Over the same period, however, the share of adults who are living with an unmarried partner has risen from 3% to 7%.
But according to the Pew Research Center, married adults have higher levels of relationship satisfaction and trust than those living with an unmarried partner (about six-in-ten married adults (58%) say things are going very well in their marriage; 41% of cohabiters say the same about their relationship with their partner).
Plus, married adults are also more likely than cohabiters to say they feel closer to their spouse or partner than to any other adult (about eight-in-ten married adults (78%) say they feel closer to their spouse than to any other adult in their life; a narrower majority of cohabiters (55%) say the same about their partner).
Suzanne Venker said that humor is also very important to a successful marriage. "Life is long and difficult. There are so many stressors in a marriage and without humor and playfulness, it will be a much harder road. And not nearly as fun," she explained. So I guess the people we see on the list are off to a great start!
French fries, a steak and 2 bottles of red wine sounds good for dinner.
Thing is we’re all picky eaters, we just notice it more in others than we do ourselves. We all have certain preferences. Not just ourselves, but all of the animal kingdom; my cat will only eat one specific brand of dry food, give her anything else and it will go uneaten.
My wife bought new net curtains, they’re nice but the drop is too long in the living room and dining room. You know what? I used to take copious amounts of drugs, sleep behind a supermarket and wake up just in time to go to work, go travelling abroad sometimes without any luggage whatever, oh the list of poor and naive choices goes on and on. But at least I now have nice new net curtains.
An old Italian woman once told me the secret to a successful marriage is finding someone you can put up with who is willing to put up with you.
Any man that believes women are "the weaker sex" has never tried to reclaim his half of the blankets on a cold winter's night.
I routinely wonder if it's okay to go get the mail in boxers. Some look an awful lot like shorts. Will the neighbors notice? Will they care? Will I care?
I don't care if my neighbors get their mail naked with a sparkler between their cheeks.

As someone who grew up during corona, is there an actual difference?
I did the same thing some years back. I had no idea I was on almost total display. I just thought the shorts were the best I've ever worn. My Dad took a pic of me while I was running past their house. I couldn't look at anyone for a month. So so embarrassed. The worse part were all the offers....
Omg, I feel your enbarassment but thank you wholeheartedly for sharing this. :-)

What does it matter as long as his privates are covered. It could be worse, it could be a mankini
When my mom was too poor to buy me a swim suit, so she took a pair of my boxers and sewed the front flap shut. Those were my trunks for about 6 months. Nobody ever said anything. The 'trunks' covered everything and worked just fine.
@Ian Kelly, Please don't assume it is a female. Although they could have female pronouns, looking at their profile pic I feel it is most likely they are a person with a penis.
I once almost went to the park in my underwear before realising what I was about to do
I feel like more information should be provided here. Were they a pair of 'shorts' she bought or were they a pair of shorts she found lying around the house & decided to go jogging in them?
I lost a few pounds and my light weight slacks looked a little baggy to me. I asked my daughter if they looked like clown pants. She said "no, but you can see your underwear through them". I had been wearing them to work for several months. Sigh.
Went to the gym with my new shorts, until I discovered my p****r was trying to get out while on a Nautilus machine. Nice underwear though. Very stylish.
Her French Fries are just your French Fries on the wrong plate.
Hi Honey, I got the store brand of toothpaste and saved twenty cents! (Crickets.)
I message evil faces to that question, and my husband messages back, ok the ice machine is on. He's a keeper
But you appreciate it when she produces something you need at the the time from said purse.
I dare you to say the same to her. Experience: been with wife for 26 years. Trust me on this.

I believe being able to banter and laugh with your significant other is a very important part of bonding. My bf and I always have a good laugh at my quirks and our different accents, different life experiences, but it's never disrespectful or unkind. We would defend each other to our last breath; we're a team, with different strengths and limitations. Neither of us want to get married, and at our age and stage in life it isn't necessary.
Way too many people commenting here are sadly lacking a sense of humor. Either that, or they feel stuck in bad relationship, which is kind of the same thing.
Silly me, I though these posts were really funny

This is a typical scenario with my wife when we're trying to decide on a takeaway. Me - What do you want to eat? Her - I really don't mind Me - Ok. Indian? Her - Nah Me - Pizza? Her - No Me - Burger? Her - Don't fancy a burger Me - Chinese? Her - Silence but her eyes widen. Me - So Chinese then? Her - I really don't mind, you pick.
"Let's get takeaway tonight. I forget, what was the name of that place you told me you liked so much?"

I was laughing so hard at these. I don't think my husband found them funny.. lol
My marriage works because he does vomit and snot and my remit is poop and boo boos.
It's nice to see that other couples are like myself and my Hubs. We just celebrated our 21st Anniversary and I can count on one hand the fights we've had. That's not to say that we get along ALL the time, but we don't scream and yell. We can make each other laugh like no one else. I think the fact that we were best friends (and still are) first helped.
I don't know why I read this. I'm single af. Can't even remember what being in a relationship feels like...
If this is considered a happy marriage, I don't want it. Way too many of these are glorifying controlling & gaslighting your spouse and it's just not ok.
I read these as compromise and looking at each other's idiosyncrasies with humor because you love them and they are never going to change.

I do agree with much of what you said. I get irritated by people joking about how awful their spouse is, and sometimes it's taken way too far, but the fact of the matter is, when you're married, you're spouse is definitely going to annoy you at times. Me and my husband have a great, loving relationship and actually have to compromise a lot less than we see other couples do. However, we still get on each other's nerves. It's part of living together with someone for your whole life. That's why it's funny. It happens to every married couple and it's relatable. That being said, I know it can be taken to a toxic level where people joke about not even liking their spouse and aren't being respectful of them either. And in that case it's just sad. So I think there is a healthy level of joking when it comes to your spouse annoying you.

Okay... good luck to you. I am in the UK. We don't do dollars here.
