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...

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...

You're not cute.

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...

Chick Flicks Make History

What does the term chick flick mean to you? Are you into chick flicks? What have chick flicks done for the film industry? Have chick flicks always been called chick flicks? When I think of a chick flick I think of a movie I can see with all my girlfriends on a Girl’s Night In. I think of a movie starring a young attractive actress who meets the love her life only to be heartbroken but soon rescued by another guy she never thought she would fall for. Chick Flicks are usually released around a holiday we all either love or hate. No, not Tax Day. It is actually Valentine's Day, the so called holiday invented by Corporate America. Despite the time of release, Chick Flicks targeted to young females who can relate to the life of the featured protagonist. As mentioned before there is always a protagonist who leads by example. She usually falls in love, becomes a successful individual or overcomes a great struggle. In many ways this featured hopeful gives aspirations for the millions of ...
