Falling in love is easy, but being married is hard. It doesn’t matter how much you love someone — the pressures of real life and the fact that you AND your spouse are both annoying as fuck makes marriage no easy task.
However, there are some ways to keep the spark alive as a married couple. You’ve probably heard the advice not to go to bed angry, but that’s a pile of horseshit. Go to bed furious and let your silence be a statement! Stay mad forever if you need to. All that’s important is being right.
If you were to ask people their best marriage advice, you’d hear a wide variety of things. Some would say to prioritize sex, and some would say to have regular date nights. Some would say to let your partner be right (gross) and some would say to hide all your anger deep deep inside you (wut).
The truth is, there is no single bit of marriage advice that will work for everyone. Every marriage is as different as every person. That’s why other people’s marriages can be perplexing as hell. Almost as perplexing as your own!
That being said, there’s something fun about hearing the little tidbits that can help keep the love alive. Not all marriage advice is created equal, but some of it is funny as hell. Let’s hear what the funny folks of Twitter have to say about keeping your marriage solid!
17 Marriage Advice Tweets To Keep The Love Alive
1. He’ll go WILD!
Surprise your husband with a romantic date. This time, instead of ending up at Home Depot, switch it up. Take him to the urologist for a vasectomy consultation.

2. Marriage is a long game, baby
A good spouse doesn't complain about watching their partner's stupid shows. A good spouse looks up spoilers online then slowly and strategically makes what appear to be highly astute observations about characters & plotlines, planting seeds that may not bloom for several seasons.

14. Challenge accepted!
A great way to test the stability of your marriage is to take a trip to the hamster-maze of IKEA together when you only need 2 things. See if you’re more annoyed by the extra useless trinkets your spouse wants to buy, or more annoyed with the slow-walking people in front of you.
