79 Funny And Chaotic Marriage Memes To Send Your Partner Instead Of Paying For Couple’s Therapy
Married life is like running a marathon. Sure, you can try to sprint through it without any preparation, but then there's a good chance that you'll collapse not long after the starting line.
However, if you put in the training miles and are ready to learn along the way, the experience might be entirely different. As you hit your stride, you enter a satisfying rhythm, and everything is more euphoric than painful.
The Instagram page 'Married Memes' captures this journey perfectly. From silly hobbies to wholesome teamwork, these jokes are funny because they're true!

Even though research shows better-educated and higher-earning couples are generally happier than their peers, marital satisfaction is affected by many factors, says Lawrence T. White, who is Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Beloit College in Wisconsin, United States.
"In fact, couples thinking about tying the knot might want to consider some of the indicators of less happy, less satisfying relationships," White explains.
"For example, when one partner scores high on a measure of neuroticism (negative emotionality) or fear of separation, that doesn’t bode well. Other predictors of less happy marriages include financial problems, chronic illness, having many children, and parenting struggles. A lot of stress in one’s life is not a recipe for a happy marriage!"
One of the biggest recent studies in this field comes from German researcher Ina Grau and her team, who collected data from 15,205 participants across 65 countries on six continents. All of them were legally married and born in the country where they lived. Their ages ranged from 18 to 92, with an average age of 44. Participants shared basic personal information and completed questionnaires measuring personality traits, attachment style, recent stress, aggression, and problem-solving habits. They also answered questions about marital satisfaction, including how happy they were in their relationship and whether they ever regretted it.
Grau and her team identified 20 factors linked to marital satisfaction. Some, like education level, agreeableness, having fewer children, and lower emotional instability, had only a small effect. But others turned out to be considerably more important.

A few of the factors measured in Grau’s study turned out to be fairly good predictors of marital satisfaction. For example, participants who scored high on conscientiousness (being responsible and reliable) or low on aggressiveness were more likely to report being happier in their marriage.
Also, spouses who often ignored their partner were more likely to be unhappy in their marriage, and those who frequently talked about separating were also more likely to be unhappy. Unsurprisingly, spouses who were not securely attached to their partner (in a psychological sense) were also more likely to report an unhappy marriage—these folks said they didn’t feel emotionally close and weren’t sure they could rely on their partner.

Are we gonna tell her this is actually a tactic? Pick the question you like, deliberately ignore the other.
Professor White says what strikes him about this type of study is how straightforward the results sound.
"Of course, married people are happier when money is plentiful and when partners trust each other. Of course, married people are less happy when their partner neglects them," he says.
"[But] if these are no brainers—and I think they are—then why do so many marriages start strong but eventually lose steam, ending in unhappiness or even divorce?"
One explanation, according to White, is our tendency to engage in emotional reasoning.
"When deciding whether to commit to a long-term relationship, couples sometimes give too much weight to their feelings and too little weight to the advice from friends and family," the psychologist says.
"When we’re young and caught up in an exciting ... romance, we often struggle to see what is fairly obvious to everyone else."

My wife in a desperate attempt to fix this bug: Do you know how your jeans look? Me: Yes, they're blue. She: so, go ahead and find them. Me (2 min later): Checked the dryer again. No jeans.

My husband often asks " hey, where's that thing?" and im just supposed to know which thing he seeks
Harvard professor and author of The Happiness Files: Insights on Work and Life, Arthur C. Brooks, says, "The goal of your marriage is not passion, it’s friendship. This is the goal: you must be close friends, ideally best friends, with your spouse."
"There’s got to be something bigger than ‘Did you change his diaper?’ because that’s not going to be in common forever, and you’re going to be lonely in your relationship."
Which is why you should share these memes with your spouse!

It was the other way round for me and my ex. I'd tell it in three sentences and he'd tell it in fifty, then forget what story he was even telling in the first place.

I've never forgotten when my husband's friend came over and the two of them were talking. Friend said of his lady "I don't know what happened! I saw she was upset so I asked if I could do something, and she started screaming! I've never seen her like that, it was like she just. . . snapped!" I was eavesdropping and asked, "Has she ever behaved this way before?" He thought for a moment, then admitted, "Yeah, she has! It's been a while, though." "Awhile like a few weeks?" "Well, yeah." "Like roughly four weeks?" His eyes got wide and he blurted out "Yes! How did you know?" I just smiled and said, "Think about it." A few seconds later I could see realization dawn on his face. That's when he asked, "What should I do next time this happens?" I said "There's a few things you need to remember. 1. Do NOT touch her unless she specifically asks you to -- more than once. 2. No matter what she says, repeat "I'm sorry, darling. You are absolutely right." 3. Keep chocolate handy at all times."

Hottest (not looks but temperature wise) in the house gets to control the temp. I'm going through perimenopause, I get control right now and he can put on a sweater. He's actually been a real sweetheart about it though and doesn't complain. <3

Opposite - when my hubs and I were still working in office instead of from home, he’d always make my travel coffee so I’d have 10 more minutes to get ready. If he took a day off, he usually still made it for me but when he didn’t - “You don't love me anymore!? 🥺” (totally joking, and he knew it)

My husband does this every f’ing time I go to back out of the driveway. I have to back to the end to see around a neighbor’s car, and he acts like I’m going to just back straight in to oncoming traffic. My bumper has not cleared the edge of the driveway, chill. Oncoming traffic could be a block away and he still acts like we’re going to die. B***h, I have a better driving record.

I clean before, while and after I cook. Husband makes himself something to eat, I clean the stove and sink. Do you know that some people are strong enough to gather plates and glasses, walk through the whole kitchen with that pile and suddenly they loose their strength and aren't able to put those things into the dishwasher? No, they have to be left on the counter above said dishwasher and are forgotten forever.

These are all so old and based on either weaponized incompetence or stereotypes of the very old types. It actually makes me sad, if people view their marriages like this.

Phew. Gender roles from the fifties really are making a comeback, huh?

Some of these so obnoxiously reek of misandry. I’m an independent woman by choice and agree with some of the reasonable ones, but some of these— reverse the gender and people would be picking up pitchforks and torches. It’s not cute or feminist to demean men. There’s some misogynistic ones, too. Why can’t people just RESPECT other people regardless of gender.
