Your Love is Not My Drug

July 26, 2010

On the way home from work the other day, I heard Kesha’s “Your Love is my Drug” on the radio for the first time. (I know. I’m a little behind the times. That song was probably released weeks ago. I tend not to keep up with this stuff). For the first verse or two, I [...]

March 27, 2010

I’m beginning to notice that holidays suck when you’re young, married, and childless.  Or maybe they suck for everyone in their twenties. I noticed it around Christmastime this past year and I’m noticing it again now that Easter is approaching. Nothing makes me or my married friends go “Oh crap” like the reminder that Easter [...]

Compatibility, Chemistry and Marriage: What Do you Think?

March 4, 2010

After I my last post, in which I responded to the common objection that early marriage means a higher likelihood of a poor match, some very interesting discussion arose in the comments regarding compatibility, chemistry, and commitment. In my post, I basically argued that while compatibility (which I interchangeably referred to as “chemistry”) is nice [...]

Why I Dislike Valentine’s Day. Or, Why We Don’t Need Another Love Day

February 10, 2010

This is a post was inspired by Opal Elephant’s post, Why the Hate for Valentine’s Day? I don’t hate Valentine’s Day. Up until this morning, I probably would have told you I’m simply indifferent towards it. I think it’s a completely useless holiday, and I remind Ben every year that he doesn’t have to get [...]

February 3, 2010

Editor’s note: this is a guest post from Lori Lowe of Life Gems. I think it’s a lovely response to some of the things I expressed in my emotion-addled post, Prayers, God, and Empty Wombs, and I deeply appreciate Lori’s insight and clarity.

The Myth of Compatibility

January 19, 2010

I’m going to let you in on a little secret about myself: I’m a Christian Prayer Cupid. Never heard of that? That’s because I may be the first one in the world. See, I have about a 75% success rate in bringing couples together through prayer. When I pray fervently for long enough about two [...]

The Weeks Ahead for Project M

December 22, 2009

I think I’m going to take just a teensy-weensy break from blogging. Just, like, a week or two. Two reasons: First the obvious one. It’s Christmastime. I don’t think people are reading blogs that much right now. They’re too busy banqueting and cleaning their houses and stuff. So I’m gonna wait to post any of [...]
