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 dance at that summer party. He would have just seen me and said "Bye Felicia" before walking away!


So in a way I agree with Jacklyn for being so distraught and disappointed when she first laid eyes on her soon to be husband. But I also feel like she put herself in that predicament. She knew she was going to meet her husband for the first time seconds before saying I do so he could have easily not been her type physically, just as she may not be his type. 



Have you ever been in a similar situation? Have you ever been on a blind date and found out you were set up with Shrek or Fiona? Be honest!

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...

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...
