To Love Is An Act Of Rebellion

Here’s Why I Think We Sometimes Lose Friends When We’re Happy Since we’ve been married (just about four months now!), both Jonathon and I have watched in surprise as certain friendships have fallen from our lives.

How To Have A Fun Marriage: Get Naked As Often As Possible

How To Have A Fun Marriage: Get Naked As Often As Possible A few weeks ago, I mentioned that one Monday before our wedding, my own personal superhero Jonathon blew off his beginning-of-the-week plans to come over and naked tie dye with a freaked-out bride (me).

Are Great Minds Born Out Of Just Being Sick Of All The Bullshit?
