Stay In School, Stay In Marriage
Yesterday, President Obama urged students to stay in school. He said that you can’t drop out of school and expect to drop into a good job. Well, apparently, you can’t drop into a good marriage either.
Religion and Relationships
Even if someone’s beliefs can’t be put under a specific religious category, everyone has their own opinion on how humans got here and how people should live their lives. All of these different views come together to make a unique world, but religious differences have the potential to hurt or even end a relationship.
Bad Advice Men Get: Trick Your Girlfriend Into Marrying You
This week’s article explains how men can trick their girlfriend into marrying them. I think we can all agree tricking someone into marrying you is not a good idea, and I’m not sure why some guy needs to rope some chick into being his wife, but I never claimed to understand the mind of a man.

Hitched or Ditched: America Says “I Do” To Hypocrisy
Hitched or Ditched poses the ultimate ultimatum to a rocky couple: Get married in a week or end it for good.

Tuffy Luv Engages In Conversation
Dear Tuffy Luv, I’ve been with my boyfriend – let’s call him P – for three and a half years. We graduated college together and have been dating since senior year. We moved in together right away – our college was in a town that neither of our families live too near – and we both have decent jobs with salaries. My question is, I really want to get married soon, or at least get engaged, but he doesn’t seem like he has any plan to do that…
MTV’s True Life: Six Best Episodes Ever
I don’t know what it is about MTV, but I am addicted. Those crafty little sons of b*tches in Times Square know their target audience. They have me – and everyone else in the 12-30 age bracket – convinced that what we should really want to watch on TV are really attractive, dumb people saying really dumb (and totally unscripted) things.
10 Things We Hate About Weddings
Summer is well on its way (it’s June already!), as we all know. Along with the endless sunny days and exponential increase of guys without their shirts on, we (unfortunately) also have to deal with the beast that is the summer wedding.
Weekly Wrap Up: Short Weeks Are Hard!
Considering we had an extra day this weekend, this past week has been ROUGH. That Monday BBQ was awesome, but Tuesday just felt like the worst Monday of all time. It didn’t help that we ended up with a mullet because we were afraid of offending our stylist. Or the fact that we’re just now realizing our current “intimacy lite” situation with the boy we thought was our Prince Charming.
Marriage is Like a Country Club…
Marriage isn’t a right; it’s a privilege. Depending on the time, place, and partner, getting married could be harder than getting into Harvard, if not downright impossible. As recently as fifty years ago, miscegenation laws would have forbid me from marrying my boyfriend (or any man not my race) in certain areas of the United States.
