Marriage- Did I really just do this?

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 L...

So how important are physical features in a relationship. Would you date someone ugly? Have you dated someone ugly? Are you ugly?  The first episode of Married at First Sight , definitely made me realize that physical attraction does mean a lot in a relationship. A lot of people can say that the physical chemistry is not all that matters. And I'm sure I've even said it. But if you were put in the situation where you were paired up to marry an ugly person would you do it? Would you have 2nd thoughts? Would you wait to find out what was in the inside before you swiped left? I know I would have, no shame, I know. Now I know my hubbie isn't the hottest guy around, we all know that title goes to Lil Wayne (bwahaha) but honestly if he looked ugly and not my type I would have never given him a chance nearly 5 years ago. Same goes with him. He most definitely would not have asked me to dan...

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-...

That's all I kept hearing throughout the matchmaking pre-show and even in the beginning of the first episode of  Married at First Sight  from all of the specialists. After a while it started to bug me. I mean how can something so important in one's life be called a social experiment?    But the 6 individuals were in no way shape or form bothered by the fact that they were going to be involved in a social experiment. They were all oh so very eager to become a part of this social experiment as if it were to save their lives. Especially... the women.  Why is that? Why is that we as humans NEED love... NEED marriage?  I mean love and marriage are amazing and I'm glad I have found both. But even if I wasn't in love or even if I wasn't married I do not think I would be jealous of my siblings and parents because they have a significant other, like o...

It's going on 4 years since I've been on this... Way Way too long! No worries though. I'm back and planning on staying. 4 years is a lengthy time. That's 1,460 days...35,040 minutes and about 4 seasons of The Walking Dead.  With time of course comes change. I've changed. Although I am still in love with chick flicks and watch them whenever I get a chance, I think that my short time of writing about them needs to change. But I will still keep one little thing the same. And that's the concept of LOVE. And all of the good and bad that comes with it.  So this time I'll be writing about ... the 2nd Season of Married At First Sight . As some of you know I got married on February 14th, just over a month ago. Yes on Valentine's Day... stop it with your eye rolls and your "Oh well he'll never forget your anniversary now" smack talk....because if anyone were to forget our anniversary it would probably be ...
