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 meeting each other for the first time when they're getting married in this so called social experiment. 



I hope that my own marriage doesn't end up in a divorce, but I am also in no way shape or form going to stay in it if I'm unhappy or if that boy cheats...well if he were to become a cheater I wouldn't be a divorcee I would be a widow. (This can't be used as a threat!!)

So to say that divorce is out of the question is cray cray! But then again they're cray cray for even being on the show... that's not going to stop me from watching it though!

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 L...

Fight for What You Deserve

Who said Chick Flicks couldn't be wild? African Cats is a movie that reaches out to help preserve the life of animals in need while still being a Chick Flick. African Cats follows the life of lions, lionesses and cheetahs as they fight to stay alive. It is hard not to fall in love with the young cubs like Mara. Mara is the only daughter to Layla, the oldest and most experienced lioness. Layla is an independent lioness who fights until the end to protect not only her daughter but the complete pack. As the protagonist in the film, Layla leads by example by displaying her never ending courage and strength.

You is KIND You is SMART You is IMPORTANT

How many of us find ourselves feeling low? Has anyone put you down? Was that person that put you down the very closest person to you? Were you left vulnerable and without any hope? It has happened to us all and if it hasn’t no worries it will, it is part of life. What makes this a good part of life is that you will have something positive come out of it. It might not be that person who hurt you bringing your spirits back up but it will be someone. Someone like Aibileen.  In the The Help , a group of strong willed warmhearted women show us all that hope can exist within ourselves. Aibileen and Minny are best friends who have always been The Help in Jackson, along with their other African American companions. They are constantly thrown obstacles and insulted by their “owners.”   They live in fear, poverty and are often humiliated by the regulations the white folk make them follow. These people think they know so much and cannot possibly associate themselves at the same...
