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.

Awwright! Awwright! Awwwwriiiight!

I don’t know about you, but I love a movie that can make me laugh. Comedy stand ups are always a hit when I’m looking to work out my abs the easy way. What happens when you combine the movie experience with a comedy stand-up? You get the perfect creation of Kevin Hart’s LAUGH AT MY PAIN . This movie captures Kevin Hart’s most successful comedy tour yet and takes us behind the scenes to where all his creativity began. He grew up in a bad neighborhood in Philadelphia with just his mother, as his father was a drug addict who wasn’t welcome at the home. Despite his father’s addictions Kevin was still able to have a relationship with him. Their relationship wasn’t what most would call normal, but regardless it definitely played a key role in LAUGH AT MY PAIN. Even as a successful comedian, Kevin is one to proudly state he can’t flaunt as if spending money isn’t a thing to him. He portrays his endless scenarios of when putting up large sums of money becomes a pr...

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 ...

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...
