marriage
Marriage is not so much a word as it is a sentence–a life sentence.
Guys Aren’t Getting Married Anymore, Here’s Why.
Is it worth it Anymore? One of the biggest problems facing western countries today is the decline of marriage and the sky rocketed rates (68%)of divorce. With a majority of Women initiating divorces in the U.S,many single men from the sidelines are taking note and are reconsidering the idea of tying the knot for a more alternative lifestyle. Often more than previous decades, the decline of marriage and hookup culture has internally scared away potential suitors to partake in the traditional human experience because the risk is higher than reward and could result in men (or sometimes women) losing half of their assets and properties in the process. It’s no wonder that in countries like Japan for example that Grass Eater men opted-out of dating and working at traditional office jobs like their parents before them and instead dived into collection based hobbies or video games to fill a void in an modern age of courting a woman.

The Best Thing I Never Had
Leslie had always loved marigolds. Their radiance and brightness. A huge part of the reason she picked this venue for the wedding was of the beautiful gazebo placed in the marigold garden. She remembered reading that marigolds represented life and vibrance but there was a dark side of the symbol as well. In other books it was said that marigolds meant death, despair and were called the flowers of grief. As she looked out over the preparations being made in the garden she almost became engulfed in this duality. The very place she picked to start the rest of her new life was supposed to be full of life and vibrance. Instead it is going to be the death of her relationship.

'It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages'
Being human means never really living in the moment. We constantly crave new and fun experiences to look forward to so that when one event is happening, we aren’t too sad when it ends because we have something else to look forward to. However, there are the odd and rare occasions when we experience something so special, we never want it to end.

For Better or For Worse. Top Story - July 2021.
My parents are celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary this month! There are not very many statistics on how many couples reach their 70th wedding anniversary but it seems clear, not very many do. At eighteen years old, my mother looked at my dad and made him the happiest man on earth by saying, I do.

Just Follow The Instructions to Get Him to Marry You!
We're not talking about a business transaction here, but about accepting an offer from a cherished man and converting it into a real wedding date. Some women will argue that this is a lot more arduous process than a major corporate deal. Of course, "rules" can make things a lot easier.

My parents asked me to marry another guy knowing about my serious relationship
I started dating my partner one and a half years ago. Ever since I have met him I was sure that he is going to be the man I want to marry in the future. We lived together in a city away from home working on our daily jobs and stuff. Our life was normal until the pandemic.

The First Step
Here I am, sitting in a waiting room that reeks of sweat and tears and a room freshener that isn't quite up to par. I wonder if this is just a feeble attempt at prolonging the inevitable. Do I even want to 'save my marriage?' My husband says I'm not the girl I used to be. No shit! I'm thinking half the problem is you are still the 'boy' I married. I hope the shrink's office isn't as dismal as this waiting area. It's all new ground for me. I've always kept to myself. The old adage 'kids are to be seen, not heard' followed me into adulthood. It's hard to fight a message so soundly delivered with a father's belt.

Old Barn at Midnight
The old barn looms like an apparition at the end of the dusty road knotting her stomach even tighter as she walks shrouded from the summer moonlight. “Meet me at the old barn at midnight,” the text had said, flashing across her husband’s phone only 2 hours earlier as she slid his work polo on a hanger wondering why her husband’s secretary, two years shy from being half his age, was texting him at this hour. She stood in the bedroom they had shared for the past eight years, one hand on the hanger, the other on his collar, still as a statue, as if one movement would open the gates of hurt to flood in until from the next room she heard the shower turn off. Spell now broken; she resolved to keep her feelings tucked inside, not letting anything give away the fact that she saw the incriminating text.

A word of mouth
It started one day, the Big Day was finally to come true. A big celebration where two souls seal a deal that will last for ever, no matter if rains or snows, still keep us together. Like a strong maple tree, will never ever fall if they have strong roots. Love and understanding are the ingredients reat for a great marriage. Also with that comes a great food balanced diet. We never considered ourselves totally fit, but we tried.

After a Lifetime of Loneliness
After a Lifetime of Loneliness, I Found Love When I Quit Looking I went to high school with you, not me, but a guy like me. A big klutzy guy who was the poster boy for social awkwardness. I grew out of the zits, but my self-esteem didn't grow at all.
