10 Kinds of Married Couples We Have All Seen

They say there are all kinds of marriages in the world and no two are identical. When two people, unique in their own right, come together to build a life together, the result can never be the same. Having said that, it is still possible for two marriages to be freakishly similar or drastically different from one another. The way a couple carries off their marriage says a lot about their relationship and also makes them fall into different ‘types’ of marriages. Based on the dynamics of marriages and their outward appearances, ShoutLo has come up with 10 categories of married couples that we have all been in the company of

The We-First Couple

Here’s a couple who is constantly trying to beat every other couple around them to get to the ‘finish line’. They are the first ones to get engaged, the first ones to tie the knot, the first ones to go the venture into parenting. You get the drift, right? Well, someone tells them there is no race.

The Have-It-All Couple

They both have fancy degrees, flourishing careers, they own a house and a car, take holidays in exotic foreign locales. It is like two seemingly perfect people have come together to build a seemingly perfect life. Before you beat yourself about your lack of accomplishments vis-à- vis theirs, know that there is no such thing as ‘perfect’. But they sure as hell know how to make the world go green with envy.

The Smitten Couple

It doesn’t matter whether they are newlyweds or married for 20 years, they are crazily in love with each other and miss no opportunity to let the world know of their oh-so- smitten state of being. Yes, the couple that feeds each other food in restaurants, can’t keep their hands off each other and keep addressing one another with ridiculous pet names, especially in public.

The Mutual-Adoration- Club Couple

She cannot stop gloating over his promotion at work or how he is so great at golf, and he cannot stop praising her for her beauty, quick wit, and culinary skills. Seriously, it is like these two are each other’s biggest fans, much to the annoyance of those around them.

The Social Media Couple

This is pretty much an advanced version of the mutual-adoration-club variety. Your social media feed is full of posts and pictures from their everyday life, offering you a front-row view of their personal life. You know what they had for breakfast, where they went out the last weekend, when they fought and how they made up, and everything in between.

The Just Parents Couple

Yes, all parents out there love their children to bits but the just-parents couples take things to a whole new level. Their entire lives are centered on their kids and they can’t seem to talk about anything else. It is like they ceased to be man and wife ever since they became a dad and mom.

The Mismatch Couple

These two are together and have worked out their own recipe of making their marriage work but you just can’t seem to wrap your head around just how these two manage to get by together even for a day, let alone the rest of their lives. If one of them is a party freak, the other is a couch potato. If one loves adventure, the other loves books. If one is happy-go-lucky, the other is extremely wound up.

The Open Couple

You know the ‘progressive’ and ‘open-minded’ couple where both the partners are at liberty to sleep around, have casual flings and one-night stands but still keep their marriage. It may seem like a convenient arrangement from the outside but only they know what it takes to keep that marriage from falling apart.

The Mommy and Man Baby Couple

The last time I checked, marriage was about two grown-ups, two equals. But this couple’s dynamics are far from it. While one partner assumes the role of a child who constantly wants to be taken care of, the other takes on the responsibility of being the parent. Honestly, being in the company of a couple where the wife is always oh-so- lovingly chiding the husband is both unbearable and ridiculous.

The Bickering Couple

The couple that’s all about bickering, snide remarks, and a generous dose of sarcasm targeted at each other. We have all experienced the awkwardness that being in their company is because they just wouldn’t shut up about how their partner is such a pain in the wrong places. If only we could tell them that they both are, together, not separately.
