15 Marriage Quotes That EVERY Married Couple Can Relate To — For Better Or Worse
In sickness and in health...
— Marriage. What a strange tradition we have become accustomed to.
We can thank ancient Hebrew law for the practice, which also “required a man to become the husband of a deceased brother's widow.” (Fortunately, that rule has since fallen out of fashion.)
The origins of marriage are the perfect beginnings of an ABC sitcom starring two people who were shoved into being together forever and have no idea what they are doing.
Aren’t we all like that?
We get married because society tells us to do so, even though we could do technically do almost everything a married couple could without being married by law.
Knowing this, it’s good to sit back and laugh the idealized “fairy tale” vision of marriage and see it for what it really is — Two goofs who truly love each other but are in no way “changed” because they got married.
(In fact, the goofiness of two people who love each other actually intensifies in a marriage.)
Although it is nice to think of marriage as a romantic fable, that fairy tale doesn’t normally extend past your wedding day and, after that, you’re in a hardcore partnership and nothing is pretty anymore.
Quickly, you’ll find out your husband likes to poop with the door open and you just have to be okay with it.
Date nights won’t be a romantic dinner at a nice sushi restaurant. Rather, it will be you two falling asleep on the couch at 9pm lit by menu screen of the on-demand movie you’ve been dying to see play into the night.
You’ll watch each other get wrinkly and, although neither of you will have rockin’ bods anymore, at least you will be getting wrinkly together.
Marriage is hard, funny, and sometimes unthinkable (i.e. your spouse probably knows wayyy too much about your bodily functions).
So instead of perpetuating the myth of unspoiled marital bliss, let’s celebrate the hilarious realities with these funny and way-too-relatable quotes about marriage.
