Fun Cartoons I've Drawn on the Theme of Love and Marriage

Humour in Love and Marriage

Marriage has always been a rich source of comedy, and over the years I have enjoyed capturing those lighter moments in a series of black and white humorous cartoons.

From the nervous tension of a church wedding, to the quirks of everyday married life, to the occasional piece of advice from a well-meaning counsellor, these drawings are all about finding laughter in situations we can recognise from our own lives.

If you enjoy funny wedding cartoons or light-hearted takes on love and relationships, you will feel right at home here.

Church Weddings with a Twist

The solemnity of a wedding service often contrasts wonderfully with the unexpected thoughts, expressions, and comments that might be going through the minds of the bride, groom, or even the vicar.

My cartoons about church weddings play gently with those contrasts, taking familiar traditions and adding a witty sideways glance. Many of these marriage humour drawings highlight the small mishaps and human touches that make ceremonies both memorable and amusing.

Love and Married Life

Once the confetti has settled, married life begins – and so do the jokes. My humorous husband and wife cartoons focus on the little ups and downs of everyday living.

Whether it’s a gentle dig at domestic chores, a witty remark about money matters, or the eternal puzzle of communication between men and women, there is always humour to be found in the ordinary. These drawings are never intended to be cruel – they simply highlight the funny side of relationships that most couples will recognise with a smile.

Proposals and Guidance

Of course, it all begins with a proposal, and that too is ripe for cartoon treatment. Awkward moments, grand romantic gestures, and unexpected interruptions all make appearances in my sketches.

Marriage guidance, meanwhile, offers another fertile ground for humour, where well-intentioned advice is not always received in the way it was meant. These themes allow me to create cartoons about love and marriage that are both funny and instantly relatable.

A Collection to Explore

Together, these cartoons form a collection that celebrates love and marriage with a smile. They are now available on greetings cards and various kinds of gift items on Zazzle, as you can see from the examples that I have used to illustrate this article.

If you are searching for funny wedding cartoons, humorous husband and wife sketches, or light-hearted illustrations about relationships, I hope you will enjoy exploring these drawings as much as I enjoyed creating them. Enjoy the fun cartoons that I've drawn on the theme of love, relationships, and marriage.

If you’ve enjoyed this look at my cartoons on love and marriage, you might also like exploring some of the other posts here on the blog. For instance, there’s an article about the lively UK folk festival scene, which celebrates the traditions and atmosphere of these gatherings.

Readers who enjoy humour might find my reflections on The Flintstones cartoon series to be entertaining.

You may also find my article giving tips and advice on planning a child's party to be useful.

And if you’d like a quirky trip through time, my light-hearted events of 1976 post brings together news, culture, and nostalgia in one lively read.

Each of these articles has its own flavour, but they all share the same aim – to entertain, inform, and bring a smile. I hope you’ll enjoy browsing around and perhaps discover a new favourite along the way.

I regularly feature products from Zazzle because it remains one of the most versatile print-on-demand platforms around. From personalised gifts to niche designs, it offers almost limitless possibilities for creators. Sharing my experience with Zazzle allows me to guide others towards discovering just how useful the platform can be.

Husband in Shock at Wife's Spending Spree...

My wife like to break records. She got in from shopping yesterday and said, "What was my record spending spree before today, darling?"

That's the gag I thought up, and I wanted to translate it into a cartoon. I don't usually analyse my cartoons very deeply, but I think this works, having the man sitting casually in his armchair, relaxing with the newspaper, reacting with shock shock on hearing his wife using a phrase like "record spending spree" as she walks in laden with shopping. Perhaps he's worried about the next credit card statement...

"Show Her a Good Husband", the Counsellor Said...

This cartoon takes place during a marriage guidance counselling session. The husband is proudly showing the counsellor a photo of a friend, prompting her to clarify that when she asked him to “show her a good husband,” she didn’t mean a photo of one of his mates!

The humour comes from the husband’s complete misunderstanding of the counsellor’s request – taking it literally rather than as an invitation to reflect on his own behaviour. It’s a playful take on the kind of crossed wires that can happen in conversations, especially when someone takes a figure of speech at face value.

The joke works visually too – the man’s earnest expression, the counsellor’s exasperated look, and the innocent logic behind his mistake all combine to create a classic moment of cartoon misunderstanding.

Thick skinned...

This cartoon takes a playful look at two familiar expressions – “beauty is only skin deep” and “thick-skinned.” 

A man assumes that he is attractive if he is described as "thick skinned" because "Beauty is skin deep".

It shows a man lounging comfortably in his armchair while a woman stands nearby, listening as he declares, “Well, if I’m thick skinned, and beauty’s skin deep – that makes me pretty damn attractive.”

The humour lies in his confident – though rather flawed – logic. By combining the literal meanings of the two sayings, he manages to turn what might be a less-than-flattering trait into a compliment to himself. 

It’s a fun example of how twisting idioms can lead to unexpected and amusing results.

It’s a light, conversational cartoon that captures everyday wit and wordplay – the kind of cheeky remark you could almost imagine being said in real life.

Lottery win cartoon...

This cartoon plays on the classic theme of sudden fortune and how it can change people’s lives – sometimes quite dramatically. 

Wife is leaving her husband after a big lottery win

It shows a man sitting comfortably in his armchair, reading a newspaper, while behind him his wife is quietly leaving through the front door, carrying two suitcases.

Unaware of what’s happening, the man asks, “Do you think your big lottery win’s going to change your life at all, dear?” 

The humour lies in his complete obliviousness to the fact that her life is already changing – and in a very immediate way.

It’s a simple scene, but one that captures a lot of character and irony in a single frame. 

The cartoon gently pokes fun at communication (or the lack of it) in relationships, and at how winning the lottery can reveal different priorities altogether!
