35 Hilarious Tweets Summarizing How Married Couples Spend Their Weekends Together

Tomorrow is Friday, which means the weekend is coming. My wife and I will finally send all the kids to grandma's so we can wake up on Saturday morning, sip a cup of coffee, and finally do what we've been looking forward to all week. Yes, we plan to finally clean up the balcony.

In fact, your weekends as a married couple are often different from what they were when you were young, carefree, and full of energy. It's not that they've become worse, they're just... let's call it ‘different.’ And this viral thread on X from numerous married couples, full of life-giving sarcasm, is exactly about such weekends.

In fact, it's quite symptomatic that I'm writing this post today - because today, and until February, our weekends will change a little. After all, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Lamar Jackson, Justin Jefferson and others won't watch themselves... But still, even if you exclude watching NFL games every given weekend, Saturdays and Sundays long after tying the knot look a little different, don't they?

After all, being married still means a certain unity of plans, aspirations, common hobbies and common problems. You clean the house together, do sports together (well, or someone does sports, and someone just provides some moral support), lose weight together - and get it back after taking the kids from the grandparents. After all, grandma doesn't care who she feeds to the brim - the grandkids or their parents...

That's life, and even though you may have imagined it a little differently a couple of decades (or even a few years) ago, there is a hidden charm to it too. And if you and your partner also have a similar sense of humor - well, going through life together, exchanging jokes, is certainly easier than just walking next to each other.

According to experts, years of living together - especially if this life is spent in complete harmony - really make spouses somewhat similar to each other. "Even if you were initially two pure contradictions, then over time you still find a lot in common in each other," says Irina Matveeva, a psychologist and certified NLP specialist, whom Bored Panda asked for a comment here.

"This is a kind of mental 'adjustment' to the person next to you - you mutually 'mirror' each other's specific traits, becoming even more kindred spirits than you were before. Even if you quarrel. In the end, there is no married life without quarrels..."

And yes, a sense of humor really helps - as in almost any situation. "If you perceive even the most problematic moments of married life with irony - that's definitely good. After all, laughter, as they say, prolongs life. Although science, it seems, has not definitively confirmed this," Irina summarizes.

In any case, it's good that the NFL kickoff game will take place tonight. At least, although my wife doesn’t like football, I will be able to calmly enjoy the game after a six-month break. And get ready for a much more important thing - cleaning the balcony together. In the meantime, you can scroll this list to the very end as well, and if you find yourself in any of the listed tweets - well, that means our selection has definitely achieved its goal!
