Why didn’t he marry me? Marriage and Singledom Is the big chase for the ring worth it?
for me to open up. Mr. Williams here has been married for quite some time and although I didn’t get to attend the nuptials, Shar and I started planning her wedding to Roger in UWI library, probably long before he proposed. I was a maid of honor and a bridesmaid and I see firsthand what planning and executing a wedding looks like. But marriage is so much more than the big day.
Whats Love got to do with it?
Not everyone communicates love in the same way, and likewise, people have different ways they prefer to receive love. The concept of love languages was developed by Gary Chapman, Ph.D., in his book The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts, where he describes these five unique styles of communicating love, categories he distilled from his experience in marriage counseling and linguistics.
