| rdfs:comment | - Basic Trope: Marriage sucks.
* Played Straight: Alice and Bob are always bickering, and are living in a nearly Sexless Marriage.
* Exaggerated: Alice and Bob have fights that involve actual violence.
* Downplayed:
* Although Bob is a Henpecked Husband married to a Tsundere Alice, the marriage isn't portrayed as unhappy.
* Even though they don't really go on "date night" or have sex too frequently anymore, neither Alice nor Bob seem to be unhappy or regret their choice to marry.
* Inverted: Alice and Bob are Happily Married.
* Justified:
* Alice and Bob married for the wrong reasons, and/or rushed into marriage.
* The challenges of day-to-day life and raising three kids have started to take a toll on the marriage.
* Alice and Bob have personal problem
