Grooms should enjoy their wedding as much as the brides—here’s to all the men getting hitched.

The Long Conversation: Why Marriage Is Less About Love and More About Staying in the Room . AI-Generated.
The wedding industrial complex would have you believe that marriage is about the moment. The dress, the cake, the vows, the first dance, the perfect photographs that will document a day of flawless joy. We spend fortunes on this moment, plan it for months, obsess over every detail as though the quality of the marriage that follows will somehow reflect the perfection of the day that began it. And then the guests go home, the flowers wilt, the dress goes into storage, and what remains is something no one prepared us for: the long conversation.

THE QUIET WORK THAT KEEPS US MARRIED
I’ve been married to David for seventeen years now. Not the sparkling Instagram version of marriage—the real one, with stretch marks, unpaid bills, a teenager who slams doors, and mornings where we both reach for coffee before speaking. People sometimes ask me, “What’s your secret?” as if there’s a single trick. There isn’t. But there are habits I’ve learned (often the hard way) that have kept us from drifting into roommates-with-rings territory.

The Man Who Returned Lost Things. AI-Generated.
Every city has a person nobody remembers seeing. In this city, it was Kareem. He worked inside a narrow glass office beside the last metro platform — the lost-and-found department. The place where forgotten pieces of life gathered quietly: umbrellas still wet from rain, single gloves without partners, wallets filled with family photos, school bags heavier with responsibility than books.

Whispers of a Valentine Part nine
Love that survives storms does not whisper. It stands steady. It breathes calmly. It chooses—again and again. By the time spring arrived, Ethan and Lila were no longer rebuilding something broken.

Marriage is Going Extinct
Marriage once stood as a nearly universal life milestone — the expected transition from youth to adulthood, family, and social stability. But today, millions of young adults are rethinking if marriage even belongs in their future. While it’s dramatic to call marriage *extinct*, the trend lines suggest we are living through a historic transformation in how this generation views traditional commitment — one with cultural, economic, and demographic implications.

The Last Letter at Kew Gardens
The air in Richmond was crisp, carrying the faint, earthy scent of damp soil and the promise of early crocuses. Arthur adjusted his woollen scarf—a deep navy blue that matched his eyes—and checked his pocket watch. It was half-past ten. In London, Valentine’s Day usually arrived with a frantic rush of overpriced roses and desperate dinner reservations, but here, within the iron gates of Kew Gardens, time seemed to decelerate.

There was a princess.
In the forests of Egypt, a prince used to graze a few goats and lived on the milk obtained from them and the fruits of the forest.

At Seven Years Old, I Thought Love Was a Promise
At seven years old, I thought love was a promise. I believed it was something you said once and meant forever, like crossing your heart or sealing a letter you never planned to open again. I didn’t understand conditions or endings. I didn’t know people could change their minds. I only knew that when someone said they cared, it felt solid, like something you could stand on without falling through.

The Unsent Confession
Mark was digging through the junk drawer in the kitchen. Not really digging, more like excavating. Years of forgotten keys, dried-up pens, crumpled receipts from hardware stores and takeaways, a single dice from some board game they hadn't played in a decade. Dust motes danced in the slivers of afternoon light cutting through the window above the sink, illuminating the detritus of their shared life. He was supposed to be looking for that tiny screwdriver Sarah needed for her reading glasses, but mostly, he was just procrastinating, enjoying the quiet hum of the fridge and the faint, almost nostalgic, smell of burnt toast from breakfast.

The Weight of Unsaid Words
Arthur was cleaning out the junk drawer. Not the designated junk drawer everyone has, but *Sarah's* junk drawer, the one in her old writing desk that she swore she’d get to someday. His hand, thick and calloused from years of wrenching on engines, moved slowly, sifting through ancient utility bills, dried-up pens, a single mismatched earring. Dust motes danced in the sliver of sunlight slicing through the grime on the window. He was looking for a screwdriver, really, the one he swore she’d borrowed and never returned, but then his fingers brushed against something crisp, folded precisely in half, tucked under a stack of brittle yellowed receipts.

The Weight of Unspoken Words
The streetlamp outside cast a sickly yellow rectangle across the worn carpet of the study. John sat hunched over the old oak desk, the one Sarah’s grandfather had built, his back protesting the late hour. A single, naked bulb hung above him, buzzing faintly, a cheap, harsh light for such a momentous task. In front of him, three crumpled sheets of paper, balled up like frustrated fists, lay beside a fourth, smoother page, half-filled with his looping, untidy script. His pen, a Bic, felt like a lead weight in his hand. He hadn’t written a proper letter in twenty years, not since his grandma died.
