21 Healthy Marriage Memes About the Expectations vs Realities of Marriage and Family

Life partners: You can't live with 'em, and you can't live without 'em!

When you meet someone you love, you can't believe you got so lucky. It seems like everything that's ever occurred in your life up until that point was worth it—the good, the bad, the so-so—and you have the rest of your life to love this person through thick and thin.

That is, until you live under a roof with them! I'm just joshin'… Kind of. Tying the knot and sharing a bed with someone seems all good and dandy at first, but it tests your relationship, too. You can spend your whole life with someone and not know them entirely. However, living with them can get you pretty darn close! Ladies, we all know what it's like going from our prim and proper one bedroom apartments with candles lit and perfectly plush throw pillows to living with a man. Shell shock, to say the least. But, it's always worth it, and we can prove it in the memes below!

Sometimes, we ladies just need our alone time! Grab the Snuggie, a glass of red, and your favorite romantic comedy and sip the night away—you deserve it.
Living with a man can sometimes influence the way we take care of ourselves and how frequently we set time aside for self-care. When you're married and have children, that window closes a tiny bit more. To remedy feeling like you have no time left in a day after all is said and done, just tuck your hubby in and give your baby and extra bedtime story. Then, as if your own fairy god mother kept both lil nuisances asleep, you can rest in your plush robe and a collagen face mask. Sounds heavenly to me! Marriage is about compromise, after all…
