Marriage is supposed to be for life, but trust me, some men are secretly hoping there’s a “return policy” attached. Let me tell you this bizarre story that has been circulating in my family group chat, and honestly, it sounds like something only marriage can inspire.
So, there was this man who had been married for years, but his wife noticed something unusual. Every night after dinner, he would quietly take out his wedding certificate from the drawer, hold it under the light, and stare at it like he was decoding ancient secrets.

At first, his wife thought maybe he was admiring the beautiful calligraphy or reminiscing about their big wedding day. But one day, her curiosity got the best of her.
“Why are you always staring at that certificate?” she asked.
The man sighed deeply, scratched his head, and with the seriousness of a man about to confess a crime, said:
“I’m looking for the expiry date.”
The Absurdity of an Expiry Date in Marriage
Now imagine a marriage certificate that comes with an expiry date, like a sachet of milk or a driver’s license. The man’s logic was simple: if cars, goats, and even your Netflix subscription all have renewal dates, why not marriage?
He claimed he was expecting to see something like:
- Valid until 2027. Renewal required with fresh bride price.
- Warranty void if husband forgets anniversary.
- Lifetime guarantee (terms & conditions apply).
His wife was not amused. She reminded him that marriage is “till death do us part,” not “till certificate expires.” But the man didn’t give up. He insisted that the government must have hidden the expiry date in invisible ink, waiting for smart husbands to discover it.
Marriage Joke or Hidden Truth?
Of course, we all laughed when we heard this story, but let’s be honest—how many people secretly wish marriage came with a trial period? Maybe:
- 7-day free trial marriage – Cancel anytime before breakfast.
- 3-month probation marriage – If in-laws are unbearable, full refund guaranteed.
- Lifetime subscription marriage – No cancellation, only updates and bug fixes.
The man’s “expiry date” joke is funny because it touches a nerve. Commitment is heavy, and sometimes humor is the only way to carry it.
Why We Love Marriage Jokes
Marriage jokes like this aren’t meant to insult marriage. They’re just a comic relief to remind us that behind every certificate is a real couple learning to live together, fight together, and laugh together. If you can joke about your marriage, you’re probably doing just fine.
So, the next time your spouse gets on your nerves, don’t check your certificate for an expiry date. Instead, laugh, crack a marriage joke, and remember that comedy is cheaper than divorce.
