Look, we’re not saying marriage is a competition. Just that you should be grateful it’s not, because stand-up/actor Kumail Nanjiani and therapist/writer Emily Gordon are so damn great at it they’d make us all look like sloppy amateurs by comparison.
Don’t believe me? Here’s 12 ways this husband and wife crushed it marriage-wise.
They work together.
They play together.
Seriously, they have a whole podcast about their shared hobbies. It’s called The Indoor Kids. Get hip to it.
She inspires him to take fashion risks.
He celebrates her successes:
This is me reading @thegynomite's piece from #RookieYearbookFour to Bagel. As you can see, her mind is blown. pic.twitter.com/WRbGb5ZU2V

They have adventures! For real. This could be a Goosebumps cover.

They share frustrations. Like when Nanjiani gets confused with Raj from Big Bang Theory by a notable publication.

@kumailn @YahooTV How I feel when this happens to my husband, who is NOT KUNAL NAYYAR. https://t.co/puTDoUbE9o

They turn an inconsiderate Chatty Cathy into an excuse for a cute couple shot:

They advocate together:

Their Twitter banter deserves its own rom com:
@kumailn It seems like you'd need another podcast in between…

@thegynomite yeah the honey-you're-the-love-of-my-life-and-I'm-so-glad-you-forgave-me-for-a-stupid-joke-files

Their selfie game is on point:
Kumail and I just got home from a ridiculously wonderful trip to Greece. Now for to sleep. pic.twitter.com/jca2Y90Etb

They keep it fresh and fun in the bedroom.
Kumail: We have, like, Butt Stuff Sundays, you know? [laughter] That’s not real.
Emily: It is a safe spot though. No one’s gonna be offended if we want to try something new because, good god, it’s so many years with this person! Every conversation we have about something like that starts with, “I think you’re great, and you think I’m great, and we really like fucking each other. Now let’s talk about this other thing.”
Kumail: For me, a weird thing with sex was that it’s OK to do stuff that’s not just real basic.
Emily: You were weird about that? I didn’t notice. You took to it like a duck to water.
Kumail: Okkkk.
Emily: [laughing]
Plus their wedding story is way better than yours. You don’t need to trust me. You can read it at Cosmo.
You’re lucky marriage isn’t a competition. Because team Indoor Kids would school you for days.
Kristy Puchko may have teared up with joy after staring at that GIF too long.
