Moving Homes – It Gets Worse Before it Gets Better
Hello everyone and sorry for my belated post. I’ve been busy moving homes and planning the new look for my blog. New home, new blog, new life!

Global Family Day
On the 1st of January the world marks the Global Family Day, or as also known One Day of Peace and Sharing. I decided to write about this day, because having a family is hard work you need to do everyday and I have a lot to share for the 1 1/2 years that I have been married.

When you get married, especially as early as I have, it is quite normal to have certain expectations of what marriage will be like – blue skies and heart-shaped everything everywhere.

Getting Married Young in a Culture That Says: “No Way in Hell!” II
Getting married young nowadays seems like a crazy thing to do, keeping in mind the options we have. However, sometimes, I believe, this great variety of so called “options”, limits us. Relationships comes and go, intimate partners change, but we remain the same and expect different results from every new relationship that comes along.

If you think you’d be done with your wedding after you eat from the cake and throw the bouquet, you are quite wrong. I should know!

Then all the psychological benefits of owning a fluffy friend started flooding my mind. And they are many! I will briefly discuss a few.
