Relationship Chronicles: 8
Hey ladies and gents!
It's been a while! I have been a little under the weather lately. I blame the Southern Mississippi climate changes of the Fall season! Any who, I have been getting a lot of questions about relationships lately. Most of these questions have been about "COMMITMENT". Well, for all of you out there that know me (or have read any of my previous posts), I am very opinionated when it comes to relationships and the things that I think are acceptable and things that aren't.
Now, when I hear the word "COMMITMENT" I think of the ultimate one....MARRIAGE. Again, this is just my opinion so feel free to disagree with me on this if you must. Yes, you can be in a "COMMITTED" relationship, but the actual "COMMITMENT" is when you both say,"I do" before God, place rings on each others finger, and vow to love one another 'til death do you both part. That is the actual commitment. I say this because when you are just boyfriend and girlfriend, that is exactly what you are. You are NOT his wife, and he is NOT your husband. I don't care how long you have been together, or if you live together and ACT as if you are HUSBAND and WIFE. COMMITMENT to me is not what boyfriend and girlfriends do. That my friends, is what I call "DATING". Yes, when you are in a relationship and you really love that person, you will be COMMITTED to them in a sense but not really. I call that the CHOICE to only be with that one guy or girl. But the ACTUAL COMMITMENT is when you BOTH CHOOSE to be with one another for the rest of your lives. Not just be boyfriend and girlfriend forever.
This brings me to my next point...."Shacking up" together. No, I am not perfect. No, I am not married. So keep in mind that this is just my opinion. I was always taught that you date, get engaged, get married, and then move in together. I'm sure most people were taught this as well. However, we are in 2014 and I am sure that most people don't go by this at all anymore. I'm not even going by this. When you love someone and are in a relationship, sometimes things happen and you end up living with each other. Now, when doing that, you start to become comfortable, pay bills with each other, learn the ways of one another, and so on. But, depending on the person, this may also result in what I call a "STAND STILL". This means, that there is NO RUSH to change things since you are living and acting as if you are a "MARRIED COUPLE". Why would things change? Your partner may want you to cook for them, clean up after them, give them sex whenever they want, and pretty much whatever else a "WIFE" or "HUSBAND" is supposed to do for their spouse. (Now every relationship is different and everyone doesn't have to go through this, but in most cases this is true. ) This is where the issue is. It is ok to do nice things for your girlfriend or boyfriend. It is ok to try to test things and see how they could possibly be for you two in the future, but it is NOT ok to expect things from your BOYFRIEND or GIRLFRIEND that should honestly be coming from your HUSBAND or WIFE! You can however expect your girlfriend or boyfriend to treat you with RESPECT, show you what LOYALTY is, and most importantly LOVE.
I feel that the purpose of a relationship is to build up to MARRIAGE. Grow, learn, and build each other up to that TRUE COMMITMENT. Don't expect your BOYFRIEND to act like your HUSBAND or your girlfriend to act like your WIFE if there are no RINGS and no one has said, "I DO".

Talk of the Town: Honey Boo Boo Show Cancelled by TLC due to Mama June Dating a Child Molester
TLC has confirmed the decision to cancel their show, "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo". Apparently, Mama June has began dating someone who has served jail time for being convicted of molesting a family member of hers!
According to TMZ, Mama June is dating the man who forced oral sex on her daughter, Anna. The man goes by the name of Mark McDaniel. He served 10 years in prison and was released in March this year. That is when McDaniel and Mam June began dating. Law enforcement say that the two aren't doing anything wrong by dating each other and they wont do anything about it until someone does something illegal. The only thing that law enforcement can be done is keep him on "radar". McDaniel is also not legally excluded from being around anyone in the family except for Anna. Sources say that Anna doesn't want anything to do with him or be around him and I don't blame her! Child Services also can't do anything unless the children are actually threatened.
If this isn't the most disgusting thing I have heard about this week! I can NOT believe that A MOTHER who cares about her children and their safety would EVER date someone who HURT their child in this way! HOW can you say that you LOVE your children?!? HOW can you say that you even CARE about your children?! I DON'T CARE about forgiveness at this point! I pray for the safety of those children! But, Mama June, I have absolutely no respect for mothers like her! All for the "love" of someone else?! I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO EXPRESS MY ANGER TOWARDS HER! WHAT A SORRY EXCUSE FOR A PARENT! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!

Relationship Chronicles: 7
5 Things Needed for Your Relationship to Thrive
Sure everyone wants the perfect relationship where there is nothing but fluffy clouds of happiness, sugarcoated smiles, and everlasting memories all of the time. Unrealistic! Every couple has ups and downs but it is up to the two of you to decide if the relationship is worth having. If it is not,
someone needs to choose to walk away. If it is, you have to decide what needs work and what you are willing to do to make it work. Here is a short list of things to help with that:
- Kind, constant, and honest communication: Ok, if you have a problem in your relationship, the only way to solve the problem is COMMUNICATING. If you don't speak it, your partner wont know. Open your mouth and let it out. The more you talk, the better.
- The will to work through problems: If you and your partner can face problems head on regardless of how difficult it may be, your relationship will be better off. You BOTH have to be willing to work through obstacles and disagreements. If not, good luck with your relationship lasting.
- Fun, fun, fun!: Who wants to be in a boring, dry, and dull relationship? I know that I don't! Find out what you both like to do and do it! Go out there and have some fun together! Take some spontaneous trips, or surprise them with tickets to their favorite movie, or heck go on a road trip! You have to keep the excitement going!
- Emotional support: In a relationship, you and your partner are supposed to lift each other up. Be there for each other in times of need and show one another how much you care for them. Remember, actions speak louder than words! You can say you care for them all you want, but showing them as well will make the difference.
- Love, intimacy, romance, sex: These are the BUILDING BLOCKS. If you don't love your partner, desire and intimacy wont be there either. The romance will also be nonexistent. Sex, well, you can get that from anywhere. But in a relationship, genuinely show and prove all 4 of these and I promise you both will be happier. If you feel that the spark is gone, figure out a way to get the fire started again.
There you have it readers! I will be making more additions to this list in later posts because a relationship is a lot of work and it takes a whole lot more that just these 5 things. I hope this helped someone and I also hope that it was enjoyable to read! Check back soon for more posts!
Thanks for reading!
XOXO,
