marriage
Marriage is not so much a word as it is a sentence–a life sentence.
The cup of tea knows everything
The elephant in the room. It’s heavy. I can’t talk, and my wife can’t speak either. I suggested making her a tea; she screamed, it’s not the teatime. I understood that we couldn’t make our relationship work again. I had a seat next to her, tried to count the flames in the fireplace. “They count five,” I said softly.

4 Simple Advice for Women Looking to Get Engaged [that Really Works]
You want to get married and the man you plan on marrying doesn't seem to be on the same page as you. There's one thing in your life that you wish for on a daily basis but at this moment it feels like a distant dream. Your boyfriend is more than content just being your boyfriend even though you feel it's time to take things to the next level and begin your journey as a man and wife.

Date Night in a Box
You've probably seen ads for those date adventure books, the ones where you scratch off your date idea and take a photo for the book? Well, I was given another option by my targeted ads that I actually find much easier. Happily is a company that will send you a box each month, of supplies for a date night. It usually consists of some kind of treat you can make together, a fun activity and questions about each other based on the activity you're doing.

Married. And Single.
I've been hearing a lot these days about married men who cheat. That’s not news to me, but there are some who apparently have been under a rock and have never heard of such a thing. Well, the story usually goes like this: The husband gets caught. Then the wife usually gets on social media claiming how the woman he cheated with is a hoe, slut bucket, and numerous other things. Her follower’s then cheers for the wife, because how the hell did she get cheated on? They bash the woman he cheated with and wonder how she could do such a thing. According to social media, you have a perfectly happy family and which you have declared that your husband is King, all for us to see and he cheated with a young, beautiful tart? Say it ain't so. I do not mean to make light of a situation that has the potential to change lives, create loss and make you reconsider ever getting married, however, let’s not pretend that cheating does not happen and many times the culprit is a married man.

Ode to the Beat-Up Thermos, Marriage, and the Cycle of Life
I can’t even think of the word thermos without thinking about this one couple who used to go out with us on our crew’s annual pack trip into the high country each August. Chuck and Dottie Banks were some of our annual regulars, and they were always toting the same banged-up green thermos each year.

Capture, Then Release
There is something in the water. Mara only knows this because sunlight coruscates on its surface as it bobs, flashing the bank and surrounding trees like a makeshift strobe light. She spots the pattern this light makes on the bark of a silver gum and stands still for a moment, transfixed, while curiosity builds like an expanding balloon in her chest.

Before You Get Married
My blog entries are always based around two outlets of information. The first being what I have learnt from the likes of other motivational speakers and personal development training courses, whilst the second outlet of information is based on personal experience. Both are equally important in being able to help, motivate, and support, others in their respective journeys in life, whilst assisting them to better control their mindset, emotional control, and thought process. I make it a daily priority to engage in personal development, which includes watching short motivational videos, and lately I have come across so many clips in which I have resonated with, because I have experienced those emotions, feelings, thoughts, and circumstances, that were portrayed in the scenes by the various actors and actresses. What I talk about today is a very sensitive issue for me, because it revolves around what has been the driving factor behind the adversity and depression I have been dealing with, over these past couple of months. Irrespective of the emotions and feelings I am dealing with currently, I believe today's topic is so important for people to absorb the information, plus gain a bit more understanding into dealing with the mental side of relationships and marriage. This one particular short video I watched the other day indeed revolved around weddings and marriage, and it had me thinking about the high number of people who marry for the wrong reasons, or at least do so without a decent comprehension of what marriage is all about.
