Let’s face it, marriage can be tough. But when your better half is prone to sprouting fur, fangs, and a penchant for howling at the moon, it adds a whole new level of complexity to the age-old institution. But fear not, dear reader, for we’ve got you covered. Introducing the ultimate guide on how to stay happily married to a lycanthrope. With just a bit of patience, understanding, and the occasional muzzle, your marriage will be the envy of both the human and supernatural realms.
Know Your Moon Phases
First things first, invest in a moon phase calendar. You’ll want to be well-prepared for those pesky full moon nights when your spouse transforms into a ravenous, hair-covered beast. A quick Google search will provide you with all the lunar knowledge you need. Pro tip: schedule date nights and romantic getaways around the new moon, when your partner’s human side is in full swing.
Communication is Key
We all know communication is the cornerstone of any successful marriage, and this holds true even when your spouse is a lycanthrope. It’s essential to have an open and honest dialogue about their condition. Establish some ground rules for full moon nights, such as:
- A designated “wolf room” with reinforced doors and windows
- Preparing their favorite chew toys and distractions
- Agreeing on a safe word (or growl) in case things get hairy
Remember, it’s crucial to maintain a sense of humor during these conversations. After all, there’s something inherently funny about discussing flea prevention with your significant other.
Embrace Your Inner Animal
When life gives you a werewolf, make werewolf-ade. Use your spouse’s condition as an opportunity to explore your wild side. Take up hiking, go on nocturnal picnics, or even learn to howl in harmony. You’ll find that sharing these experiences will bring you closer as a couple, and you may even discover some hidden talents of your own.
A Well-Fed Wolf is a Happy Wolf
You know what they say: the quickest way to a lycanthrope’s heart is through their stomach. Keep your pantry stocked with their favorite meats and treats, and be prepared to whip up a protein-packed meal at a moment’s notice. We recommend mastering a few key dishes, such as:
- Filet Mignon á la Lycanthrope: A juicy steak with a side of raw spinach
- Moonlit Meatloaf: A classic comfort food with a twist (hint: more meat)
- Werewolf Wellington: A scrumptious pastry-wrapped delight, best served with a full-bodied red wine
These culinary masterpieces will not only keep your spouse’s cravings at bay but also show them just how much you care.
Support Groups Exist
Even the most seasoned werewolf spouses need a little support from time to time. Seek out like-minded individuals who share your unique marital challenges. Join online forums or attend local meetups where you can swap stories, vent frustrations, and share tips on the latest silver-proof fabrics.
By following these simple guidelines, you’ll find that staying happily married to a lycanthrope is not only possible but also an adventure in itself. Embrace the challenges, cherish the moments, and above all, remember to keep a healthy stock of lint rollers on hand. Happy howling!
Just the advice I needed to save my marriage, thanks!

Better to have the knowledge and not need it, than need it and not have it, I always say. Congrats on your nuptials and also thanks for the read and your comment, Kier!
