Why Marriage is a Comedy Show : Humorous Marriage Advice for Newlyweds

Getting married is like starting a new job you didn’t read the manual for. It’s exciting, confusing, and sometimes a little ridiculous. When my partner and I tied the knot, we thought we had it all figured out. Spoiler: we didn’t. But that’s where the fun comes in. Here’s my honest, slightly sarcastic advice to help you laugh through the chaos of marriage.

1. Expect Weird Arguments About Nothing

You’d think fights would be about big issues. Nope. They’re usually about tiny, meaningless things.

Example: My partner once got upset because I ate the last slice of pizza. I fired back by saying they always forget to replace the toilet paper roll. It escalated. Did it matter? No. But it taught us one thing: talk before you assume.

Pro tip: Have snacks in the house. Hunger makes everything worse.

2. “You’re Right” is a Magic Phrase

Here’s a hack: Learn when to admit defeat. Saying “you’re right” can end 90% of arguments. You don’t have to mean it every time, but it smooths things over.

Real talk: My partner and I had a standoff about folding laundry the “right” way. Finally, I just said, “Fine, you’re right.” Problem solved.
