First Date Deal Breakers
The screening process to make it towards a first date can be hard enough. So, why make the screening process for the second date just as difficult? There are plenty of first date deal breakers and reasons behind them. If you catch yourself in any of these situations, you should reconsider going out for that second dinner and movie.

Instagram Can Have You Insta-Divorced!
By now, almost all of us are plugged into social media in some form or fashion. It’s a great way to not only stay connected to distant family and friends, but it’s also an excellent way to communicate with interesting people we’ve never met. Awesome sauce! Right? Well presumably so, yes. But in a marriage, too much Facebook and not enough face time (no not the app) can be detrimental. More and more, I’m hearing rumblings of social media going awry in married life. But how is this possible? How can an app on my phone or a non-pornographic website cause so much turmoil on the home front? Well, if you’ve ever heard that too much of anything is not good, even if it’s supposed to be a good thing, then you’re beginning to get an idea of where I’m going with this.

Act of Submitting
The act of submitting is to surrender to someone. Submission has gotten a bad name yes; some people use it to control a person or persons. I am talking about the act of couples being gentle with each other in submission to create a strong connection.

Breakup Etiquette: Is There Ever a Good Way to Dump Someone or Get Dumped?
The reason so many men and women have a tough time getting over a breakup is due to the way it is handled. When someone blindsides their partner with an abrupt goodbye, it does not allow them to have proper closure or understand why they were left high and dry; often with a one-line text message!

Stay Hitched or Ditch?
Marriage: Stay Hitched or Ditch On a seemingly ordinary Saturday afternoon, I sat on my front stoop for some much needed alone time, i.e. cigarette break. While bathing in the new fall breeze I found myself reflecting on the ups, downs, and turnarounds of my LTR. My other half and I had been recently and frequently engaged in periodic debates, some more pleasant than others, ranging from who gets to pay this month's utility bill to citing all 1,001 reasons why I think whole wheat pasta was manufactured solely for alien life forms born without taste buds. To dispel possible rumors and under the radar bar room mumbles I can and will shout from the highest dirt mound in Leakin Park that my mate is pretty perfect in the biblical sense (Was that good honey?). Even still, when traveling on the epically adventurous road of Together-Forever, one can find himself pondering the meaning of it all while making frequent pit stops to the friendly neighborhood Target. What pushes us to this wave Q&A? Maybe it’s the daily compromises we make to either please or appease our partners that ignite this way of thinking. I can’t quite put my finger on it but weekly brawls surrounding the rights of the undead on Vampire Diaries could spark an analysis or two. And the burning question becomes, is being single better?

White and the Slightly Darker One
What's my take on interracial relationships? In the Philippines, I grew up knowing people who weren't in love in the most romantic way. Family members viewed love not as love in itself but rather as a necessity or a way to survive. It was so rare to see people who were "in love." It was frequent and normal that broken marriages stayed broken because the idea of a complete family was ideal. Anything about being left or raising children alone kicked a distasteful judgment. The kind of love I saw around my elders didn't entail sweetness, and if it ever did, they never told.
