Since I got engaged early last month and began planning a wedding for this summer, I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to be hitched. As someone who already lives with her husband-to-be, I wonder just how much marriage will actually change things, whether I’ll wake up the morning after the wedding feeling […]
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are meant to last forever. This famous couple met in 2005, and in no time they were married. Actually, they started dating in 2005 and married in 2006, just one month after they started dating. For most people, this short period of dating is a deal-breaker, but not for these […]
There are some rumors about problems between the royal couple, Kate Middleton and Prince William, that came out quickly in public because they came separately to the queen`s Christmas lunch. However, everyone rushed into thinking that something like that is possible, and two of them had their reasons for not going together. Nevertheless, the media […]
Here’s how I thought being engaged would make me feel: OLD. Here’s how being engaged really makes me feel: like I’m in on the funniest inside joke ever. Two of the most opposite people on the planet, at least on the surface, are in it for the long haul. Who would have thunk it? I’m […]

A wacky new study called “What’s Love Got To Do With It?” followed 2,500 couples who are married or have lived together for at least six years and discovered there are, gasp, lots of factors that lead to the success (or failure) of a relationship besides just falling in or out of love. For example — this is […]
Post-failed engagement, I’m not sure how into the idea of marriage I am. I think it’s great for other people and maybe I’ll really want to get married eventually, but for now, I don’t really see it as the end-all, be-all of my romantic future. That said, I’m all about commitment and monogamy, just without a legal […]
If you think you can get away with cheating on your girlfriend or wife, fellas, don’t mess with this woman. A woman from the Syracuse, NY area called out her cheating husband in a post on Craigslist.
