Am I supposed to be a "Mexican" wife?

So I'm Mexican American. My dad was born and raised in Mexico and made his way over to the U.S. as a young adult. My mom was born and raised in Southern California and both her parents were born and raised in Mexico. I am quite Mexican.

And how does being Mexican play a part of me being a wife? My hubbie is Mexican American just like me. His family ties to Mexico almost mirror mine. How does being Mexican play a part in his hubbie duties?

In Married At First Sight, there are couples who have different religious beliefs and cultures. They were open minded and did not feel like having the same family background was essential.

This is such a beautiful thing!

To begin a relationship there are many contributing factors to who your ideal type is. Race and culture sometimes play part in this. And then you add in your family's wishes on who they want this person to be and what family background they want them to have and you get a whole lot more to deal with than you ever anticipated.

I don't think my culture and race has played too much of a part in the "type of wife" I am. Other than my preference in what we should eat for dinner of course.

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...

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...

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 ...
