Geeze, I had the EXACT same issue. I almost NEVER see stuff from my wife (even after I marked her stuff as something I want to see). I always see friends that I never interact with and their events that they're going to or all of the meme pages my friends like. But my wife's stuff? Not very much.

I hate using Facebook. The only reason I haven't removed my account is because it's the only way to keep up with certain friends and family. I feel like I am forced to use it simply because there isn't anything better for them to broadcast on.

I'd suggest considering whether this is really true.

That's what the follow feature is for. You can get notified on ALL activity of a friend of you are willing to click two.

All of my friends are set to follow. Seems like a default option.

Yes, but there's a "see first" option and you can turn on notifications on activities:
