Seventeen years. That’s how long I’ve kept my husband’s name off the deed to our house. Not because I didn’t love him (I do), not because I didn’t trust him (mostly), but because… well, life happens. But after nearly two decades, I’ve decided—it’s time. And no, it’s not just because he finally learned how to load the…
At some point, you start to wonder: ‘Is this what marriage is supposed to feel like?’ You love your partner, but somehow, you’re carrying the weight of everything—keeping the house running, managing the kids’ schedules, remembering birthdays, planning meals, excelling at work, and somehow still trying to be present in your relationship. And the hardest…
Marriage: a beautiful, messy, laughter-filled rollercoaster ride that somehow always requires both snacks and patience. Whether you’re newly in love, years into “happily ever after,” or just a sucker for good love quotes, this list is for you. But I’m not just throwing quotes at you and calling it a day—oh no. Each of these…
You never expect to hear the words, ‘I think we should open our marriage.’ Maybe it comes out of nowhere, or maybe you’ve sensed something shifting for a while. Either way, it’s a moment that can send you into a spiral of questions, emotions, and—let’s be honest—panic. But before you let worst-case scenarios take over…
We’ve all heard the dreamy takes on marriage: ‘When it’s right, it’s effortless.’ ‘True love means never going to bed angry.’ ‘Your partner should complete you.’ These ideas sound beautiful, but in reality, they often lead to frustration, disappointment, and unnecessary heartache. The problem isn’t marriage itself—it’s the expectations we attach to it. When people…
So, you had kids… and suddenly, your once-sizzling romance turned into a well-oiled (but exhausted) parenting machine. Between diaper duty, school runs, and attempting to function on five hours of sleep, who has time for date nights or deep convos that aren’t about snack preferences? Here’s the truth: kids change your marriage, but they don’t…
There’s a lot of debate about whether marriage is ‘worth it’ in the modern world. Some argue that long-term commitment is outdated, while others swear that having a life partner makes everything better. One thing that keeps popping up in studies (and in real life) is that married people tend to live longer, healthier, and—depending…
No one walks into a marriage thinking, ‘I can’t wait to let minor annoyances slowly destroy this relationship.’ But the truth is, it’s rarely the big, dramatic fights that end things—it’s the small, seemingly harmless habits that pile up over time. What starts as a minor eye-roll over the way your partner loads the dishwasher…
Let’s be real—marriage isn’t what it used to be, and for many Black women, that’s by design. Gone are the days of tying the knot just because “that’s what you’re supposed to do.” Instead, a growing number of Black women are reshaping the very definition of love, partnership, and lifelong commitment. Whether it’s choosing financial…
I’m not a grumpy person at all. In my past life (the one I had before marriage) I was known for a cheerful nature and always being in a good mood. My friends would say my superpowers were contagious optimism and loads of positive energy. My glass was always half full. Then I got married…
