Drink, defriend him on Facebook and other quirky ways to make marriage work.
We’ve been married for 13 years and during this time we’ve learned that just about everything we’ve expected from love and marriage is the opposite of our actual lives. We’ve discovered there’s no such thing as happily-ever-after so we’ve opted for the more realistic “ever after.” We may not be blissed out every minute of the day, but in our “ever after,” we're raising a kid together we madly adore, we’re cracking each other up, and as far as we can tell there isn’t anyone else we’d rather spend our lives with. It’s in this spirit of lowered expectations that we’d like to share a few of things we’ve gleaned from our relationship.
Your sexy voice, professions likely to cheat, platonic male friends and the upside of materialism.
Complex loves some big girls. Em & Lo coin the term "google goggles." Some professions cheat more than others. Jill and Kevin (from the "Forever" wedding dance vid) want to help victims of domestic abuse. How to trick a woman into marrying you. A romantic proposal over the telephone? How to set-up Rich Santos on a date. How to put together a post-divorce sleepover and not freak out your family. The case for platonic, male friends. Signs you're dating a loser. And why gold diggers may be a sign of a rebounding economy.
In the hilarious video, Arj tells Poopy about his blossoming love with a girl he met on the other side of the country. Let's hope he doesn't mess up this new LDR... if he hasn't already.
A matchmaker argues that marriage is a gamble, but one worth trying your luck on.
How do you know if he's The One? The one you'll be with forever, the one you want to marry, your one true love? Do soul mates really exist? Professional matchmaker Rachel Greenwald investigates the search for Mr. Right. "How does anyone ever know who's right for them in the long run? Everywhere I go, I meet smug married couples who love to relate the moment they 'just knew' they'd found their life partners. As far as I'm concerned, it's revisionist history; if the marriage in question has worked out so far, they say they acted on their rock solid gut. But if it ended in divorce, they confess to earlier doubts. To be frank, I don't believe anyone can really know this kind of information for sure—and I speak not just from my college relationship, or from all my years as a dating coach, but from reflecting back on my own 1992 wedding."
