Wouldn't it be great if your marriage came with some kind of guarantee? Like “if you’re not satisfied with your partner, you can exchange him for one with all the qualities you thought you were getting when you first said I do.” Well, it doesn't. When it comes to marriages, it is much more of a “buyer beware,” or “final sale” mentality, so … [Read more...] about Buyer Beware – When I Do Should Be I Don’t

Another Way for Janay
It’s amazing how one story can provoke so many opinions and questions. I’m not usually ambivalent on any topic but this one really has me thinking.

Rebuild Or Revenge – The Choice is Yours
I think its time to set the record straight. Popular opinion seems to depict cheaters as lowly sleazes, sneaking around, victimizing their spouses, and only worthy of one thing; hitting the sidewalk hard while clutching divorce papers handed to them on the way out.
