Indian illustrator Karan Gupta lives in Delhi with his girlfriend and creates wonderful illustrations showing different situations from their relationship. People enjoy the simplicity and humorous approach to his drawings, which many of us can relate to. According to Karan's words "every day is an adventure when your partner is just as weird."

The journey through pregnacy can be hard for women. Their bodies are changing and their hormones are out of control. But we don't really think about how many pregnant-wife-problems husbands face over the course of the pregnancy. They try to satisfy her food cravings and get used to her mood swings, all just to make her happy and help make the pregnancy experience really amazing.

Inspired by family life, Yehuda Devir, an artist from Israel, draws illustrations about his wife which are full of love and humor. His pictures are small episodes which depict the very essence of family life.

These are pages from an old Latvian magazine, which was published in the 1930s. Each of them contains funny illustrations. We believe it will be curious for you to find out what people laughed at 90 years ago.

Everyone has had a bad relationship that can pop up in memories and dreams from time to time. Sometimes we even forget about these relationships and then we suddenly bump into our exes. And of course, when you meet your ex, it’s practically a rule that you must look as bad as you possibly can: old and unflattering clothes, no makeup, messy hair, and so on. This is Murphy’s law. In these funny illustrations, we want to tell you about this law.

Everyone is looking for their love. Unfortunately, many relationships end. It happens because the pressure of social stereotypes can become stronger than real desires, and people hurry to get married not to create a family but because of fleeting feelings and the fear of being alone.

Falling in love with someone you can’t have can seriously affect your self-esteem and self-confidence. You feel unhappy, dissatisfied with yourself, and even depressed. Obviously, you should get rid of these feelings as soon as possible. We are going to tell you what to do in order to get over your unrequited love and start living a new life without the object of your passion.

One Thanksgiving evening, 31-year-old photographer Eli Rezkallah from Lebanon was sitting at the table when he heard his relatives saying women had to perform their women’s duties better, such as laundry and cooking. It inspired Eli to organize a reshoot of old ads of the 1940s, the 1950s, and the 1960s where he switched the roles of the men and the women. Eli says, “I know that not all men think like my relatives do, but I was surprised that such views still exist. That’s why I created this project where they can taste their own sexist poison.”

Adriana Manhattan is a counselor and artist who draws ironic and cute illustrations of modern relationships. Online dating, complicated texting rules, and all the other ins and outs of a person in love — that’s what makes her Instagram account so popular and relatable.

Finding your life partner is priceless. You will be together for better and for worse and not only in the romantic sense. For example, you might set up pranks against your partner, or you might plan practical jokes together. Bright Side is sure that relationships are not always easy, but they are definitely fun when you have the right partner by your side.

You never know which direction your conversation might take during live communication. However, if a dialogue happens in texts, unexpected twists and turns become even more prominent.

Some people want to forget their failed dates. Some people laugh at their bad dates and share their funny stories any chance they get. Twitter users fall into the category of people who sometimes learn from their mistakes and who always make their followers laugh. Bright Side gathered tweets describing the funniest stories about failed first dates.

Not everyone is blessed with a good character. Every person has a unique personality and has his or her own understanding of how to deal with difficulties. It's often easier to come to a resolution in an argument if the involved people agree to treat each other with respect and pave a path toward compromise instead of creating unbearable conditions due to their disagreeable behavior. Bright Side tried to figure out which personal character traits are unhelpful when it comes to conflict resolution.

Who said that marriage is boring? These men certainly don’t seem to think so. Bright Side made a list of lucky guys whose wives have a pretty cool sense of humor. Get inspired and maybe even take some notes!

According to statistics, women send 4 times more texts than men. It’s not surprising that the internet is full of funny women’s statements and phrases taken from their electronic messages. Bright Side gathered 13 texts from women that are full of playful humor, great moods, mind-blowing logic, and witty sarcasm. Let’s enjoy the compilation together!

It's easy to love each other when difficulties never cross your path. However, in real life, all relationships are tested at one point or another. Bright Side put together 9 stories of people whose love can pass any test.

Any relationship is a risk, and we’d all like to understand at the very beginning how strong and happy it will be. But it’s impossible to predict this in the early stages. Still, there are many signs that show if a relationship will remain harmonious and last a long time. Gleb Tsipursky, Ph.D. is a co-founder of a noncommercial organization that deals with the propaganda of rational thinking and offers a wise approach to making decisions, and he has outlined them to help others.

The wish to be liked by the opposite sex is natural, and that’s the reason why girls trying to find the answer to the question “What do men like?” end up improving those parts of their bodies they think will drive any man crazy. Bright Side wondered what answer men themselves would give to this question. Some of their answers surprised us very much.

Not all couples realize that effort from both partners is needed in family life. In accordance with this data, around 40.7% of European marriages end in divorce in less than 10 years. A study by Slater and Gordon Lawyers identified which year of marriage is the happiest and which is the hardest.

It’s really difficult to start a family. You will face conflicts, crises, doubts, and that’s okay. If you react correctly, you will finally understand that it’s not a tragedy but a new level in your relationship. Bright Side wants the number of happy families to grow. That’s why we show the most dangerous factors that can ruin a marriage and how to cope with them.
