It's been a packed week here in the marriage blog with everything from marriage laws to secret marriages to bigamy and more. We had Courtney Mroch, one of our great Pets bloggers guest with a couple of interesting articles as well. So without further ado, let's take a look at our week in review.

Sunday, May 27

What Are Secret Marriages? Have you heard of them before? I hadn't, but they came up as a part of our marriage laws research. Marriage Laws - Louisiana & Arkansas takes a look at these states laws governing marriage licenses and what you need to do.

Monday, May 28

Clandestine Marriage & Bigamy discusses the question of how secret marriages might facilitate bigamy. In Marriage in the News: Unintended Consequences covers the case in National Pride at Work v. Governor of Michigan as the state amendment banning same-sex marriage has unintended consequences. In Marriage Laws - Missouri & Iowa we take a look at the laws governing marriage licenses and weddings in those two fine states.

Marriage is Bad for the Community? Really? The suggestion that it is seems ludicrous, yet there is evidence to support it. On the other hand, I think it's the evidence that's open to interpretation. In Wives Who Work From Home - Working May Help Your Marriage we examine how a successful career or job can help a couple be more successful in their marriage. Sherry offered her insight into In the News: Did Michigan Overreach on Marriage v. Unions?. Courtney shared her excellent tale in Flaws: Sometimes It's the Imperfections that are the Most Endearing.

Wednesday, May 30

What's Old is New Again as advice books from 1913 are due to be republished this year. Find Your Passion and improve yourselves and make your lives better and marriages happier. Courtney continues more personal tales in True Love Doesn't Equal Perfect Love. Our series on marriage laws continues in Marriage Laws - North & South Dakota,

Thursday, May 31

Quality Time - What Does That Mean? It's important to understand something that's important to all of us. Don't Always Kiss Me Goodnight is a fantastic tale from our guest blogger Courtney. We look at more marriage laws in Marriage Laws - Wisconsin & Minnesota.

Friday, June 1

Don't Seethe in Silence, because seething does not help you resolve the problems in your marriage. Marriage Laws - Nebraska & Kansas helps us near the end of our series, researching the marriage laws within the 50 United States.
