Over time, married couples come to know certain universal truths, regardless of where they live, who they’re married to or how long they’ve been together.
For example, you’ll never, ever agree on the proper temperature for the thermostat, attempts to assemble furniture together will inevitably end in a fight and deciding what to watch on TV will always require some negotiating.

Went into Target for a couple items and my wife said “let’s not get a cart” and then we laughed and laughed and grabbed two just in case.

Call me old fashioned, but I believe that marriage should be between a person who doesn't see the mess and a person who rage cleans.
