RED BLUFF, CA – The Matrimonial Gazette, a satirical online publication dedicated to the absurdist theater of modern marriage, announced its launch with a growing archive of cases adjudicated by a panel of fictional experts — including a Certified Matrimonial Chronicler, a Certified Bertramia Negotiator, and at least one columnist who turned out to be a subscriber to the very journal he was asked to review.
Published in the tradition of the great nineteenth-century domestic press — complete with masthead, ticker tape, and a legal disclaimer noting the panel are not actual lawyers — the Gazette covers the full spectrum of contemporary marital life. Cases on record include a husband who replaced all verbal communication with notarized depositions, a wife who discovered her husband’s quarterly journal about their marriage from a stranger in a cereal aisle, and a man who trained his parrot to serve as domestic legal counsel. The parrot’s case files are tabbed and color-coded. The recycling motion has been denied.
The Gazette publishes almost daily at matrimonialgazette.com and accepts reader submissions. Letters describing genuine, fictional, or frictional marital situations may receive a full expert reply — complete with diagnosis, verdict, and, where warranted, a recommendation.
A Publication for the Age
The Gazette addresses cases conventional advice columns have declined to touch: a husband who declared the left side of the bed sovereign territory and began issuing visas; a nine-year-old administering his parents’ marriage through strategic compliment deployment and a curated jazz playlist; and a fantasy football depth chart listing two columns — Earth and Other. That case received over 103,000 reader responses.
Readers have described the Gazette as “the most human letters ever written,” “a reason to lie down in a field,” and “somehow is exactly what I needed.”

All persons, cases, sovereign nations, and parrots depicted are fictional. Any resemblance to actual marriages is entirely coincidental and probably funnier in person.
