Cohabitation

Karlo and Linette are also considered one of my favorite couples, who always bring out the best of their relationship whenever they have been around us. They have known each other for a long time before they get married, and they know each other well which helped them a lot to grow their healthy relationship and become a role model for other couples. This couple had a little different background than my first couple that I interviewed. They were both born in Iran; however, they have left the…

The involvement in a relationship today is mostly covered up by younger people. Teens are very interesting when it comes to relationship, not to mention what kind of relationship it is. In the end,…

On the other hand, Foster states that there are more factors that may distress a marriage thus leading to divorce rather than maintaining a happy marriage.

Marriage, what everyone used to assume is the the turning point of one’s life, has now become the not so common fantasies girls have. People’s perspectives on marriage and traditional family value have changed a lot. Dorian Solot, the author of “On Not Saying ‘I Do’”, explains her concerns and thoughts on the concept of not getting married for her whole life in her article.

Rhetorical Analysis Paid family leave has become a more controversial subject over time, some say. According to Lisa Belkin, author of the article Paid Family Leave: Can We Change The Maternity And Paternity Leave Debates To Include Everyone, the United States have not fully addressed the need or want for paid maternity/ paternity leave or to take it one step further to include paid family leave. She states that many other countries such as “Sweden (480 days), Germany (365 days), Italy (90),…

Setting aside a day to check out the newest movie with your significant other, then a trip to the local five-star restaurant, dressed in the fanciest outfit one owns.

Traditional dates are often thoughtful, and romantic, such as a picnic date or a simple walk in the park. Traditional dates are often only…

I read “THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON” by F. Scott Fitzgerald. When Benjamin Button was born, he was not like a baby, but as 70- year-old man. The more the story continues, the younger he gets.

This character lives the opposite life of age, differ from us. It seems to think for readers how the human relationship…
