I just finished this absolutely fascinating book chronicling not only the history of marriage (written in a very easy to read way) but written with the author’s own personal experiences entwined with her coming to terms with her fear of marriage –Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage by Elizabeth Gilbert.  I was inspired to [...]

 
Dear Miss A,
I’ve been in this relationship for a little over 8 years. We’ve never talked about marriage. I did not want to push it. We are ok financially. We live as a couple and the only account we have is a joint account. Which means my money is his money and his money is my [...]
