This is a rare post in which I take Michelle’s advice to talk about my feelings. Don’t believe the hype.
As you may be aware, Michelle and I have been taking premarital counseling. So far we haven’t gotten the veto to get married. That’s a win in my book.
This past session’s topic was on love languages, how we give and receive love. Unfortunately, Na’vi is not one of the love languages as someone suggested. We had to rank how we receive love and how our partner receives love. We nailed it. Both of us knows exactly how the other one wants to be loved.
Still while we understand each other’s love languages, it’s still hard to communicate it. We all perceive the world different and though we may think it makes perfect sense, it may not translate that well to another individual. She may say, “Do you want to do something fun tonight?” I will hear, “Do you want to play video games while I clean the house and serve you beer while topless?” Maybe that’s an extreme example, but the concept is still accurate.
There’s not magic trick in understanding your partner, just a lot of hard work in paying attention, but something tells me I should hurry up and get the couch for our place so I don’t have to sleep on the floor when there’s a misunderstanding.
Tonight is the first session of premarital counseling for Michelle and me. Apparently a shared love for being intoxicated is not enough. I don’t have any idea what to expect, but I hope to get through all the sessions without being given the recommendation not to get married.
In order to prepare myself, I will be quizzing Michelle on the car ride over. What is your favorite color? Do you have any history of heart disease in your family? If you could be any animal, what animal would you be? We’re totally going to win this counseling thing.
I could also take the approach my friend suggested and answer everything ambiguously gay.
I recently came to the realization that I am not afraid of moving forward in my relationship. I told Michelle to figure out what kind of ring style she would like. This was two and a half weeks ago.
Since then she has posted this and this. I’ve created a monster. There is a marked difference between not being ready to move forward and racing forward. I am not looking to be the Michael Phelps of relationships. When she came back from Hawaii and said, “I planned out the whole wedding,” Not even one Star Wars themed idea. Not one. She even contemplated going to a wedding dress sample sale this weekend.
I’ve pulled the reigns on this thing before the horse gets in front of the cart. The last thing I want is to propose and have Michelle call a wedding planner first. “Green light! It’s a go! Okay, I have to go call my parents now.”
I can’t get an iPhone. I borrowed an iPhone just to use Twitter in a place where I had no reception. I had to go to three screens just to type my password because of the combination of letters, numbers, and special characters.
Asking, “Do you still want to get married some day?” and getting a yes response does not constitute an easy, no-ring marriage proposal.
Every time Los Angeles wins a sports championship, there will be riots. We do not have the fortune to shuttle our minorities out of the city via bridge like San Francisco or by tunnel like New York.
The Chinese are always getting into crazy schemes with their crazy business practices. They are trying a “buy a house, get a wife free” business proposition. I think they might get more business if they offer to take your wife when you buy a house.
I love that someone noted, ” the girls on offer are not that attractive.” Sign me up!
I ran across this article a while back and have been meaning to write about it. What’s the big deal? Practically everyone gets divorced in this day and age. This is not proof that gays should not be allowed to get married. This is proof that no one should be allowed to get married. It provides no benefit for a relationship.
It does, however, provide, a good stimulus to the economy. What they need to do is legalize gay marriage everywhere. It will boost our economy on the wedding side and the divorce side. Recession solved.
Marriage is gay. Apparently so is divorce.
I took a phone call this morning from a customer that said I should note down that he was extremely handsome too. I was kind of confused, but he followed by saying, “We can get married now.” I think he was trying to shock me, but my public university education has taught me to be indifferent tolerant of all walks of life. I told him if he bought the equipment I was quoting him, we had a deal. I sold the product, so I guess I have to uphold my end of the deal.

I ran across this article about twins that were separated at birth and were later married…to each other! This made me vomit in my mouth a little. Then I thought, in this day and age the couple probably consummated their relationship. That made me vomit in my mouth a little more. How creepy is that? I wonder if he was attracted to her in a gold bikini. At least one good thing comes out of this. After their separation at least all the money will stay in the family.
Hello, there. My name is Matt, but on this website I just refer to myself as m@. I love all things Star Wars, food, beer, and music, especially The Beatles. I'm one who likes to be noticed and will sometimes say or do inappropriate things to get your attention. I'm perfectly complimented by my online and real life partner
