Where will we live?

Finding a home has it's up and downs and dodging of bullets (if you don't research the neighborhood well enough) and a case of headaches all on its own, but throw in a marriage into the mix and it adds just that much more. The one question that make take more than a few minutes to ponder over is...

Where will we live?

What if your spouse is originally from the other side of town or another state? What if your job has caused you to move away from your parents, but now you feel like it's the perfect time to move closer to them?

In the second episode of Married At First Sight (the 2nd season), Jaclyn and Ryan R. already had a bumpy start with Jaclyn not being attracted to Ryan R. at all and she sure did not have an ounce of fear to share that with the cameras. But on top of all that she's in love with her job as a sales representative for a popular vodka brand in New Jersey. Her now husband is from Long Island living with his mother and niece, whom lost both parents. She immediately told him she couldn't and quite frankly wouldn't move because her job is in New Jersey and he was left dumbfounded. His mother and niece whom he supports and planned on continuing to support are in Long Island. He has been his niece's uncle, brother and father in times of need. This will definitely be a talking point for the new couple. What would you do in this situation?

When my now husband and I were deciding on where to move we were lucky to have grown up in the same city where our parents still remained. We knew we wanted to move away from our hometown but still be within driving and most importantly "picking up meals from my mom"-distance.

Originally, I had my heart set on Anaheim, CA. That's the only city I did all my apartment research in. And boy was it a lot of research. I am talking about excel docs and yelp reviews and apartment ratings and crime reports. Slowly that research expanded over into other surrounding cities. We had found a couple of apartments but none that we absolutely loved. Then out of the blue my sister told us about a for rent sign that was at an apartment complex near her. Fast forward to now and here we are. In that apartment my sister found for us. We loved it the instant we saw it. And luckily it's only 20 minutes away from our parents. It definitely is our...

Just Go With It

Imagine this. You are at a bar and you overhear a man explaining to the good looking woman sitting next to him that he has not seen his wife in months. She has deserted her duties as a wife and mother to their 15 adopted children. The attracted woman we shall call, Naive, is eating his miserable story up and says he should go home with her so she can show him what he deserves with a seductive look. Off they go to begin their rendezvous. Believable? Only in the movies, so Just go With It. Jennifer Aniston, Katherine, and Adam Sandler, Danny, play the ideal duo for this movie. She is the assistant of Danny and happens to be a single mother of two children. He is a wealthy plastic surgeon who had his heart broken on his wedding day. Since then he has taken on the life of faking near divorce, neglectful and horrendous marriages in order to persuade these stunning and young women to sleep with him. His perfect plan has continued to work until he meets a particular girl, Palmer,

I feel like I've known you FOREVER.

I feel this immense connection with him. I have to have known him from somewhere. But how we barely met a couple hours ago. But we have so much in common. He makes me laugh. He tells me I understand him. Wow did we just say the same thing at the same time? Weird! Those are the words that so many of the participants in Married At First Sight gushed about to the cameras in last week's episode. Were those feelings sincere or were they just caught in the moment? Can you truly feel like you've know someone for an eternity within days or hours or even minutes of actually meeting that person? I feel like that is true to a certain extent, but then again I think that feeling of being caught in the moment is often intertwined with the feeling of knowing someone for an eternity which leads to feeling that immense connection. I think some people get caught up and just because they grew up watching the same cartoon they instantly feel like, "wow, they're the one it&#

Divorce

Is it really that bad? Bad enough for all if not most of the participants on Married at First Sight to swear that "Divorce is not an option" for them. Even though they have not met their future spouse, they can honestly say they trust the specialists to have found the perfect match for them? That is something I would be so afraid of. They definitely have more courage and trust than I do. I do not think I could honestly say divorce was out of the question if I were in their shoes. Not only because marriage is tough and sometimes it just doesn't work, but because they have no control over who they are marrying. They are being completely set up... and what if they're set up to fail? Then what... As it is you always hear that divorce rates are at 50%, although that 50% statistic is very misleading, if not completely wrong. The divorce rates are closer to 25% for all first-time marriages to end in a divorce. And those divorces do not involve the parties mee

Marriage- Did I really just do this?
