I've Only Been Married 2 Months And Have Already Been Asked These 6 Questions Repeatedly
Michele Garmon

Let me tell you guys and gals a little bit about my marriage. I've been married for less than two months, and everyone seems to have questions for me all of a sudden. Don't get me wrong, some aren't so bad, but others...

Here are just a few questions I've received lately:

Q: How long have you guys been together?

This one is innocent enough. August will make six years for us, and December 21, 2018, will be one year of marriage! It does feel like an eternity sometimes though, especially when we're grumpy.

Q: What is the best part of being together?

As nauseatingly sweet as this is, it's true. There's no pressure for us to be anyone other than ourselves. We can be in the same room, doing different things, and be perfectly happy.

Q: When did you know that he was the one?

It was like a fairy tale where you meet the prince and he immediately... showed me respect. Not only did he help me regain my self-confidence, but he showed he a significant level of respect. There were plenty of times we could have gotten married, but I wanted to put school first and he waited. Dealing with literal and mental distance showed me that we were both willing to put work into more than dating.

Q: How did you meet?

Q: How does a long-distance marriage work?

The same way any marriage works: with trust, respect, and communication.

I hope this gives you guys just a few things to consider when it comes to getting married!

PS: Please stop asking when we're going to have kids.

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.

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.
