Mot: ~~~ Marriage Awareness Tips!! --- beee Aware!!! ~~~ from Mot of course!! ~~~

DATING: can’t wait to see you again MARRIAGE: part of your knee was on my side of the bed again last night

My wife and I share the household chores so we both do equal work. For example, I just folded a load of towels and then she re-folded them the “right” way.

Sent my husband to the store & then turned off my phone because it’s time to teach independence.

My wife didn't order anything from Amazon yesterday so the UPS guy knocked on our door to see if we're okay.

Before you marry someone: 1. Listen to them eat a bowl of cereal. 2. Ask them which side of the bed they sleep on. 3. Watch them brush their teeth. 4. Make sure you are temperature compatible. 5. Survive one cold and flu season at minimum.

*watching husband sleep* Me: "I just love him so much, he's my everyth-" *husband snores* Me: "I can't live like this."

Being married is mostly pointing out that the other person is always using their phone during the small window where you’re not using yours.

Before I got married I didn't even know there was a wrong way to put the milk back in the fridge
