If The Relationship Doesn’t Feel Right…

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

…that’s probably a sign that you shouldn’t be in it. Take the example of Dirk Nowitzki, an all-NBA first teamer, whose alleged-fiancee’ is in all kinds of trouble for fraud and document forgery, and has a history of getting kind of crazy with athletes. And that should be a lesson to everyone dating, engaged, married, [...]

Nas and Kelis to Divorce?

Friday, May 1st, 2009

I certainly hope not. It’s not like hip-hop culture had that many marriages to model after anyway. Now one of its most prominent is headed for break up. The hope is that they could reconcile without public innuendo and interference, but that’s just not pop culture, so, my prayers definitely go out to Nas and [...]

Love on a Deadline

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

Here’s some more news about the sister attempting to find her husband in a year’s time. Every time I hear something about her endeavor, I feel support and pity for her simultaneously. I support her because she is taking an intelligent and empowering approach to finding love and compatibility, but I pity her because God’s [...]

Thoughts on Octuplet Mother Nadya Suleman

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

Before I knew that I was going to be a father, I thought that Nadya Suleman was extremely selfish and irresponsible. Having so many kids with so little of yourself to spread always screamed for the intervention of child protective services, particularly when Suleman was reliant on public assistance and private donations just to make [...]

Making Marriage History

Friday, January 16th, 2009

My wife and I are going to see Barack Obama downtown at the War Memorial tomorrow afternoon, which likely means we’ll be standing in sub-zero temperatures as early as noon. Needless to say, I’m enthusiastic about seeing our dear President, but less than excited about freezing. Nevertheless, history calls. And not just the history of [...]

Sprinklers on Your Wedding Day Can Get You Paid

Friday, January 9th, 2009

This couple might just pull off a lawsuit about sprinklers going off on guests during their wedding day. And rightfully so, as the lasting memory should be about the lucky couple and not the guests running and ripping to avoid drenched outfits and hair. “I can’t say it ruined my wedding. Nothing could have ruined [...]

Find a Husband in 52 Weeks

Friday, January 2nd, 2009

That’s the endeavor of a New Jersey woman, who doesn’t hope to be married in a year, but at least hopes to have found her soulmate before 2010. I’m mixed about this kind of project. She’s already gotten good publicity for the site being out there, which means that a lot of men will try [...]

Nothing Says Marriage Like Gays and Jennifer Lopez

Sunday, December 21st, 2008

Interestingly enough, if you did a Google news search on the word “Marriage,” your top five results would be stories about gay marriage rights and the faltering marriage of Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez. Ain’t it grand? A rich actress who can’t stay married and people who aren’t allowed to be married sharing an algorithm.

Divorce360.com – A Circle of Negativity

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

Apparently, there is an entire website dedicated to when, why and how people should get divorced, Divorce360.com. Is there anything more negative out there? Now, with the amount of divorces that happen in this country, I’m not surprised that someone actually created a web enterprise out of it. People are always looking for ways to [...]

What’s A Little Proposition 8 Between Husband and Wife?

Saturday, November 8th, 2008

For all of the common thoughts and perspectives that my wife and I share, gay marriage is not one of them. Despite the fact that we are both of the same religion and believe in the same tenets of faith, I am for it and she is against it. I don’t say that to say [...]
