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.

This is a...

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 ...
