marriage
Marriage is not so much a word as it is a sentence–a life sentence.

The Estrogen vs Testosterone War
If you look back through history, many countries, including my country, the United States, have been involved in many battles in their existence: the Revolutionary War, World War I, World War II, the Mexican-American War, Vietnam, Afghanistan, the Iraqi War, the Korean War, and many other famous battles that I have not listed.

A Letter to the Other Woman
Dear -----, Today is the day I take back my life back. From this day forward, you will not haunt me. The greatest revenge is living a happy life. That is what I intend to do. I have always been a happy, positive person and this has not changed that. If anything, my jovial nature has helped me through and it is something my husband admires about me. I know you think that our life is forever altered and you would be right. Just not in the way you think. It has been altered for the better. We both realized something through all of this and that was just how much we really do actually love each other. The day it all came out and I had a choice to leave. It was in that moment when everything was on the line, that we realized that a life without each other was just not possible.

What Love Looks Like
It was a windy yet beautiful spring day. The barn was decorated with lanterns and lavender, the dessert table consisted of Captain America decorated cupcakes. And the venue was packed with people that I had never met and ones that I didn’t remember. My cousin’s wedding was beautiful and though I had never met her fiancé before the big day I knew from the minute I heard their vows that they would be perfect together.

Dear Future Husband
To the man that I love with all my heart, Thank you. Thank you for everything you have done for me and for my child. I don't know how many times I will say thank you just to make sure you understand how thankful I really am. (It will probably be a thousand times a day or maybe even a minute if possible.)

The Marriage Contract. Top Story - May 2018.
I am an old guy. I have been around the block more times than I can remember. Even still, I thought about sitting at a table one night to compose my bucket list. Take part in an Olympic sport. Get my doctorate degree. Meet a Pope. You guessed it. I would put on it all the things I once fantasized about; things that seemed too far-fetched to accomplish. There is only one thing that will never reside on my bucket list—marriage. I'd have a much better time if I had put down "Walking on Mars on my list. I'd have a much better chance of reaching those goals.

Arranged Marriage
Arranged marriage is a subject about which people hold strongly contrasting views. Arranged marriage is when two strangers marry by the agreement of their parents or guardians. In some countries, especially Asian countries, arranged marriage is quite strict. For example, the bride and groom cannot see each other's faces till the night of their marriage.

Keeping the Flame
We've all been there, admit it. We look at our spouse and feel such anger or resentment. I can't tell you how many times I've held my tongue and kept it quietly inside me, especially after having a baby. It's so hard to overcome, and you look at others and think "how on earth are they always so happy?" It can be exhausting to watch. I remember though, to choose to love him regardless of a small feeling I may have in one instance. I chose to love him because he's such a good man, the love of my life, and the father of my child. He provides for us, cares for us, and is dependable. I'll never forget watching him hold our little girl when she was just born and seeing the love he had for her and our family. He's given me a lifetime of happiness and love. So, when he makes a mistake, or puts his laundry one foot away from the hamper, I chose to stop and breathe and remember just how great he is, and I chose to look past it. I chose to stop and remember every wonderful thing he did, does and will do, for us. I love when he rubs my feet or back even though I never do it for him. It's a 100/100 team effort to make a marriage work. I do things that he can't do, and he does things for us that I can't do.

Finding That Special Soulmate
I grew up thinking love was just that, love. I saw my family love each other, my friends love and care for each other, but I was never that young girl who dreamed of what her wedding day would look like or how perfect and handsome my husband would be.
