Frequently asked
What's a sweet caption for your wife's birthday?
'older today, my favorite version yet.' Or 'happy birthday to the loudest laugh in my life.' Specific and warm, not 'queen of my heart.'
Funny wife caption that isn't cringe?
'i married her for the snacks she finds. still here.' Make the joke specific — generic 'happy wife happy life' captions are why this genre is dead.
