A Single’s Guide to Surviving the Holidays
Oh, yes. The dreaded question from your relatives, your mom, that girl from high school who has “the perfect life”, and the randoms at holiday parties. “Why are you still single?” Or maybe they ask, “Are you dating anyone?” or “What’s new in your love life?”, some variation of the same question that makes you […]
His or Hers? Whose career is more important?
It’s a conversation that doesn’t start with asking the question outright. It starts with a job offer, maybe the desire for a new career, talk of graduate school, or any number of life-path defining choices-and suddenly you’re talking around whose career takes precedence without really meaning to. This tension, the push and pull of figuring […]
5 Reasons He Isn’t Calling
The question “Why am I still single?” seems to plague my generation. Last week, Michael and I had an interview and the host shared that question from a woman in the audience. It’s a hard question to ask and an even harder one to answer. Are you defensive, hard to be around, sloppy, or caddy? […]

Stop Waiting for Him to Ask You Out
In college, I waited—like I thought every good Christian girl was supposed to. The Christian rhetoric of “men initiate, women respond” gridlocked my heart into eleven months of waiting. As the story often goes, I really liked this great guy. Our relationship escalated from group hangouts, to study breaks and late-night runs, and from there […]

Book Giveaway! The 5 Money Personalities
When Michael and I came home from our glorious honeymoon, we were awakened into the world of joint checking accounts. At first, it was hard to navigate how to spend money. Is it ok if I get Starbucks with friends? How will he respond when I pick up some shoes at the mall? Michael didn’t […]
Real Men Don’t Text | A Video Message
Texting is for hooking up, not for finding meaningful relationships. And Real Men Don’t Text. We’ve told you this before, but from all the emails, comments, and feedback we’ve received since Michael told men to get off the sofa, turn off the video game, and pursue a woman and I told women how we fuel the […]

Welcome to breakup week! Sounds incredibly depressing, but we’re sharing stories to give hope! Today’s breakup story is by my friend Ashley.
