I married my best friend, and I am beyond thankful to God that I did! Marriage is such a blessing, and I knew it would be amazing and full of love, but who knew how fun it would be? If you just want a reminder of how great it is, or if you are going through a fight with your husband/wife, here are a few things to remember. Maybe — I hope — they help! Let's be thankful and extend our love to them.

1) You Can Be Weird

They have totally accepted the fact that they have married a weirdo and join in on the fun! You guys share a mutual weirdness and sense of humor and may even talk in different accents 99.99 percent of the time. You probably look at each other mostly with weird unnatural facial expressions, but you bond over aspects that connect you and grow from them. Marriage is fun!

2) You Understand Each Other Completely

With one glance, shoulder pinch, or shin kick your wife or husband knows exactly what you mean. This is pretty great when you are too sick to talk in a loud room, or in an awkward social gathering you have no desire to be attending. The magic of husband/wife telekinesis.

3) You Can Be Kids Together

You can pretty much have a slumber party whenever you want. Living room fort? Heck yeah. Ice Cream? Of course. Movie theater popcorn? Why not! You are living with your best friend — have some fun with each other!

4) You Get to Learn Together

Life is crazy and messy and you get to do it all with your best friend right by your side! You have each other through all of life's goods and bads. You get to learn new things about each other and the world, sharing in it all together. You don't have to go through it alone — you get to look forward to your best friend's company every day.

5) You Can Chill Together

You have a mutual understanding that relaxing with each other is pure bliss. Whether it be reading silently near each other, watching television together, or daydreaming together, you look forward to it and the inevitable peace it brings.


Marriage is wonderful, and your spouse is your best friend. Let's remember that and truly appreciate it.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
