After you’ve been in a relationship for a while, some universal truths start to reveal themselves: You and your partner will argue about the number of Amazon packages arriving at your doorstep; birthday presents will go from utterly romantic to extremely practical (goodbye, jewelry; hello, garbage disposal) and a “quick” Target run will always turn into a multi-hour extravaganza.
If this all sounds familiar, chances are, you’re married. Below, we’ve rounded up 25 tweets about married life that hilariously hit the nail on the head.
