Most relationship advice sounds like it was written by someone who has never argued about a thermostat. It talks about communication and vulnerability, which are real, and skips the part where a marriage is saved by buying a second phone charger.
The jokey version is often more useful, because it deals with the actual sources of friction: hunger, directions, flat-pack furniture and whose turn it is to notice the bin. Those are the relationship goals nobody posts about and everybody lives with.
Here are 51 pieces of funny relationship advice that happen to work. Swipe through, copy the ones you need, and leave the one about the duvet open on your partner’s phone.
The Serious Bit Underneath the Jokes
Nearly every line here is a rule about reducing friction before it turns into resentment. Two duvets, a second charger and a snack mid-argument all do the same job: they remove a recurring annoyance so the two of you stop spending goodwill on it.
The ones that are harder to laugh off are at the end. Keeping your own friends, lowering expectations and being the partner you say you want are the ones couples actually struggle with, and no household gadget fixes those.
For the straight version, read our relationship tips worth remembering, or carry on laughing with our relationship jokes for couples.
