A big part of marriage, and relationships in general, is being able to make compromises for the other person. The mutual love and respect you have for your partner is the glue that holds you together and helps you get through those tricky give-and-take moments in your relationship. But sometimes things aren't so straight forward, and it's not clear who should give and who should take. One woman posted on the popular AITA thread on Reddit, wondering if she was the a**hole for asking her husband to give up his dream job because it would risk her career. At first glance, you might think so, because whose job comes first; hers or his? But as she explains the situation, it becomes apparent that he was prepared to sabotage her very high-paying niche career for a job that paid less than half her salary, and that he applied for behind her back. Everyone jumped to her defense, explaining very clearly how she is not the a**hole and that she should proceed with divorce proceedings, as advised by her company. Read through her post and the comments below and decide for yourself who is in the wrong. Although it's pretty clear what the answer is.

We're back with some more hilariously honest tweets about the reality of married life, and they're more relatable than ever! Between the arguments, the pettiness, and the ridiculous moments, our other halves can drive us crazy. But these Tweets show that there really is love when you look hard enough!
Marriage is hard work, but when your husband has a sense of humor, it changes everything and can turn even the most difficult days around. These wives show how their husbands got it right every time, whether on purpose or by mistake. It's the little things that can put a smile on your face!
During these tough times, the only thing that gets us through is love, and that's exactly what Shona and Conlin Moeller have shown us in the most heartwarming way. Shona went through a traumatic experience when her waters broke at five months and had to be rushed to hospital where she will remain on bed rest until she gives birth.

Keeping a relationship fresh is important. It entails commitment, passion, and a lot of hard work. But one crucial thing it also requires is a great sense of humor and not just from the men. These wives and girlfriends have definitely got what it takes to keep their husbands and boyfriends on their toes with practical jokes and great gags. Scroll through and be prepared to laugh out loud.
When it comes to picking a partner, we all have certain requirements or types. Whether it's hair color, skin tone, or physique, everyone has their thing. But one thing that most women in the western heterosexual dating world have in common is their desire for a man who is taller than them. Without going into the evolutionary reasons for this, this is often a deal-breaker for women, who have started writing this stipulation on their dating profiles. Men aren't happy about it for the most part (especially those who aren't 6 feet tall) and have begrudgingly started putting their height on the apps with the statement "because apparently that matters". While it's obvious that height isn't everything, one woman endorsed this in a tweet about her husband who is shorter than her, expressing how happy she is with her "5"5 king". Women felt inspired to post pictures of their shorter significant others saying how happy they are. Of course, there were the haters, but Lizz had great comebacks for them all. Check out the thread below.
Jim and Joanne Sterling have been married for 45 years and Jim is still finding ways to keep the marriage fresh and bring humor into the relationship.

They say you never truly know a person until you live with them and these pictures below prove just how true that is. Whether it's leaving food out to get moldy, or tearing food packets open in the middle, sometimes you can discover your significant others (or roommates) disgusting habits when it's too late. We feel sorry for the people who took these pictures!
Marriage is a beautiful thing, especially at the beginning when you're all loved up. But once the honeymoon phase is over, real life happens and the standard arguments over what to order in a restaurant and whose turn it is to wash up become pretty common.

But the key to weathering the tough times and having a happy and successful marriage is to find the humor in your daily lives together and make fun of your idiosyncrasies. Here are some all too relatable tweets showing us how couples get through their every-day spats, proving that married life isn't always all it's cracked up to be.
