I've noticed that marriage is a lot like a computer update

At first, it's exciting and full of new features, but eventually, it just takes up a lot of space and sometimes freezes on you.

We wanted a small, intimate wedding.

Then we tried to trim the guest list and realized our definition of 'immediate family' included second cousins twice removed and everyone we'd ever met in line for coffee.

When my wife and I were first dating, our conversations were full of dreams, passions, and philosophical debates.

Now, they mostly revolve around whose turn it is to take out the recycling, and whether we have enough milk.

Marriage is all about compromise, especially when it comes to the thermostat.

In our house, it's a silent battle of wills, where one person sneakily adjusts it down, and the other person sneakily adjusts it up, both pretending they didn't touch it.
