*slams my fists on the table* MARRIED LIFE MARINA AND JOEL MARRIED LIFE MARINA AND JOEL MARRIED LIFE MARINA AND JOEL (whichever version / AU you'd like)
SEND ME A SHIP AND I’LL TELL YOU WHO:
(i think this could work for both teachers!jarina and regular!jarina tbh)
leaves their dirty clothes on the floor: i feel like marina would forget about things like socks and bras and joel is just constantly running around after her to pick them up and he’s like holding a bra up by the strap like, “HOW CAN U TELL IF THIS IS EVEN DIRTY???? PUT IT BACK IN THE DRAWER.” sdigfkhpj
forgets to run the dish washer: joel
pumps gas for the car: joel
drives when they’re going somewhere: they’d take turns but i think joel would enjoy doing it more often
rearranges the furniture: marina like three times a year and there’s always bickering about why joel liked the couch just where it was and why marina thinks they need to move it regularly to clean the cat hair from under it and how it’s more feng shui
falls asleep with the TV on: joel
gets to use the bathroom first: marina..... and if joel was ever in first, she’d just come in anyway and hop in the shower with him
decides the temperature for the ac/heater: marina because temperature just doesn’t affect joel 90% of his life
sets up holiday decorations: both omg (but if it’s teachers!jarina where marina has her son, i think marina would just sit back all happy and content while joel puts up decorations with his step-son because he’s been allowed to spend the holidays with them and she gets a lil emotional about it)
leaves the lights on: neither
uses the bathroom with the door open: joel would probably start doing it sometimes when he goes to pee and it makes marina laugh and then he gets self-conscious about it
fixes the plumbing (or calls the plumber): marina definitely calling the plumber before joel can do anything because she thinks he’ll make it worse even though he was intending to call one anyway omggogjmh
