Happy National Spouses Day to all the married people out there. But don’t feel too bad, single people. Spouses are great and all, but also ANNOYING . . .
Someone recently polled 1,000 Americans who are married, and 44% agreed with the statement, “My spouse gets on my NERVES sometimes.”
The most common things that annoy us about our spouse are their selective hearing . . . their snoring . . . and their control freak tendencies. Here are a few more random stats from the survey . . .
1. 45% of married couples usually celebrate Valentine’s Day in one way or another. 80% say it was a bigger deal before they got married though.
2. Only 16% said they argue with their spouse on a regular basis.
3. 10% of married people said they love their spouse, but sometimes wish they were single so they could experience dating again.
4. 17% agreed with the statement, “My spouse is a SLOB.” 44% of husbands claimed they usually split chores pretty evenly . . . but only 26% of wives agreed with that.
5. The things we’re most likely to APPRECIATE about our spouse include: They’re a hard worker . . . I can be myself around them . . . they make me laugh . . . they’re smart . . . they’re supportive . . . and they’re a great parent.
