Does it seem like there are thousands of questions you need to ask your beloved before deciding to get married? When you are in love and the world stretches out before you like a parade of endless possibilities, it can seem annoying and unnecessary to interrupt the romantic dance to ask some unromantic questions. Believe me, I can remember being crazy in love to the point that even Eric’s (now) aggravating traits seemed adorable and alluring. Here is my humble advice: enjoy the romantic dance, but sit out a few songs to talk over important subjects before taking the plunge. There is nothing … [Read more...]
Is Physical Affection Your Relationship’s Biggest Strength?
How did your current relationship or past relationships typically begin? With a lot of talking? Flirting? Laughing? During my epic middle school years, the way I knew I was in "a relationship," and not just friends with a boy, was quite simple. If I sat beside a guy in church (or elsewhere) and he held my hand, that meant he was my boyfriend. When I was twelve, I was sitting in church with a boy I liked and I began dropping crazy hints. I put my hand next to my leg on the pew, then I put it on my knee when I crossed my legs. I even stretched my arm out a few times (subtle, I know), just so … [Read more...]

Would You Rather have a Spouse Who Works Hard or Plays Hard?
Tonight, I’m sitting here blogging and waiting for my sweetie to come home from work. This is an extremely busy time for Eric at his day job and he has been putting in some unbelievable hours lately. He comes in, plops on the couch, and either messes around on his iPad to clear his cluttered mind or dozes off. It’s hard watching him drag in day after day, but thankfully this project should be over before too long. One trait I loved about Eric when we were dating, and still love about him today, is his work ethic. Eric is unstoppable. When I’m throwing in the towel for the day, Eric is just … [Read more...]
Will Your Sweetie Stand Up for You?
One of my fondest memories of my mom, though she doesn’t like to talk about it, is the time she told off the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) man. I should start at the beginning... I don’t know of any female on the face of the Earth who wanted to drive more than I did when I was a teenager. Even now, I prefer driving to being a passenger in almost all situations. Driving for me was symbolic of freedom and maturity. I wanted to get behind the wheel and fly! When I was fourteen, Dad started teaching me to drive on a dirt road near our home. I can still remember listening to my Steven … [Read more...]
