Break ups can be different depending on what stage of your life you're in. When you're in high school, break ups are over-dramatized and earth shattering. In college, they're the thing that turns you towards things you might have not done without a broken heart. After college, they make you evaluate your life. Because when…
I recently read some Twitter wisdom that really stuck with me. When it comes to relationships, everyday won’t be 50/50. Some days will, but some days all he will have is 10 and you gotta give 90 but it’s okay. Because some days all you’ll have is 10 and he’ll give 90. I rarely feel…
My introduction to relationships didn't exactly start off on the right foot. I know we learn a lot from our households growing up, and mine just wasn't really ideal. I don't remember much lovey-dovey stuff happening after I was a kid so for many of my formative years I didn't really know a lot of…

On a recent blog post called Choosing Love, Candid Compositions mentioned how important it is to know each other's love languages and I completely agree. I started looking into love languages in the past couple years and kind of assumed that mine was receiving gifts. But I decided to do some official digging and take…
I think we all experience love differently. I see it every day, there is no one way to love someone. And I'm not just talking about family love vs. friends love vs. marriage love - I'm saying that every relationship and every person who is in love does it differently. My first big love was…
I was listening to a podcast recently (pretty sure it was Terrible, Thanks for Asking) that started talking about how men and women confront problems differently. It struck a chord with me because my boyfriend and I approach stress in 100% different ways - it often causes our little tiffs into bigger fights because of…

Dating is hard. In our culture, we mate for life. We find a person as soon as we can to marry and have children with and grow old with. We have marriage benefits, we have joint bank accounts, and we share lives. That’s a very serious thing so the process to get there is very…
