Marriage isn't for everyone...

Ugh I apologize for being MIA. I was doing so good posting at least once a week sometimes more than that. Things got a bit hectic!



With starting a new job and balancing friends and family time plus being a wife and doing household tasks and trying to workout...my blog just was not a priority. But I am back and ready to share my insight on how unfortunately although this is tough to admit, marriage isn't for everyone. Not even for...



 all the couples from Married at First Sight. 


I am still so disappointed that NONE of the couples made it as a happily married couple. Although 2 of the 3 couples decided to stay together at the end of the 6 week decision deadline, by the time the reunion show was being filmed none of them remained married.  

Shocked not so much... I feel like marriage or any type of relationship, romantic or not, is tough. There are good days and there are bad days. These couples were completely set up and had no control over their partners. And this was not just a blind date where you could go home in a couple of hours and call up your girlfriends to tell them how horrifying his breath smelled or how he didn't pay for the tab. They were MARRIED. And forced to stay together while the cameras followed them day and night. 

They had no time to ease into their stages of their relationship; they met at the alter, went on a honeymoon and returned "home" where they moved in with each other. If you know me you know I am a strong believer of stages in relationships. I like doing through the various motions and take it all in. Rushing things is not my path of choice. And maybe that path wasn't right for these 6 individuals. 

Although their marriage didn't last...marriage can work. It's working for me. Stay tuned, in spite the fact that Married at First Sight has concluded, this blog isn't over. I will continue to write about my marriage and how it relates to marriage in the media, television and other forms of entertainment.

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...

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.

She has deserted her duties as a wife and mother to their 15 adopted children. The attracted woman we shall call, Naive, is eating his miserable story up and says he should go home with her so she can show him what he deserves with a seductive look. Off they go to begin their rendezvous. Believable? Only in the movies, so Just go With It.             Jennifer Aniston, Katherine, and Adam Sandler, Danny, play the ideal duo for this movie.
