I’m getting married! Yup, my boyfriend — well, fiancé — proposed to me this weekend and of course, I said yes. Announcing it was weird, though, because while most couples take a ring selfie and post it to social media for an engagement announcement, our engagement selfie would have just kind of looked like a selfie. I told […]
In March, Michael and I met up with my friend and her boyfriend for a double-date. I already knew that they’d gone to look at rings, but their big news that night was that he had gone ahead and bought it, and already talked to her mom and dad about proposing to her. I was […]
Remember the honeymoon phase of your relationship? It was a time when the two of you couldn’t keep your hands off of each other. You would find new and creative ways to express your love in a physical way. You had what felt like the energy of 10 men. As the months and years go […]
A study in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology has found that relationships, much like most things in life, are all about perspective.

According to research by the University of North Carolina, men with stay-at-home wives are more likely to have a negative outlook on women in the workforce.

Marriage is a tricky thing. You have to work hard to stay together. When everything fails, you are knocking on the door of a divorce, and that is when reality hits you. You start thinking about all the things you wish you did or knew before everything went south. One of the divorced men out […]
Holy crap, I’m getting married in 10 days. I can’t fully wrap my head around that fact, and it now feels like the days are going by at warp-speed. I’m beyond excited to get married, but I have to admit I’m already feeling a little nostalgic for the engagement chapter of my life, and it […]
I’ve been married all of 11 days now and, as if on cue, the day my husband (still very much getting used to saying that!) and I tied the knot, he stopped putting the toilet seat down. I ignored it at first, but by our first weekend together as a married couple, I couldn’t stand […]
