"Why isn't she married?" That's what people used to say about me. I'll admit it.

8 habits married couples sometimes adopt could lead to major problems.
We'll say it straight up: There's no good reason in the world to hang onto these habits. They aren't helping.
1. Nagging, nagging, nagging. We know about the squeaky wheel, but complaining loud and long gets you only short-term gains and builds up powerful discontent on your spouse's side.

3. Bullying, rudeness, and selfishness. These ugly power plays tell your partner that he or she … Read More
Starting a honeymoon in a hospital or a jailhouse is not fun.
It turns out that most women have it pretty easy on their wedding day. The months of planning, dieting, haggling, bargaining with God and breath-holding (sorta) move into the rearview mirror if everyone does their damned job and manages to stow their petty bullsh.

Church wedding? Been there, done that. Check out these options!
