marriage

It's not a great commentary on our current society, but when you think about it, there are very few things you can absolutely count on. These things are an exception. There are at least 5 things you will never see a faithful Missouri Amish man do no matter what.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned the old saying goes. It's not fun for men either. However, is it really true that you can have your cheating spouse sent to jail in Illinois? That depends on who you believe.

There's nothing quite like having someone you love that loves you back in a long-term relationship. In some states, after 7 years together, you are common law marriage. What about Missouri? Is there common law marriage in the Show Me State? The answer is both yes and no. It's complicated.

Don't take this wrong if you live in Illinois, but I was frankly shocked to learn that it's very possible that the Land of Lincoln has one of the lowest divorce rates in America. Can this possibly be true?

Love ain't easy. That's a fact and it's never been truer especially for Missourians than it is right now as the state has jumped into the top 10 for broken relationships.

I don't want to make this awkward, but I have a hard relationship question that also happens to be a legal one. If you are engaged, but breakup in Missouri, can you keep the engagement ring? It's lawyer time.

I'm not a lawyer nor do I play one on TV, but I have done some research and found at least one scenario where you can be married in Missouri without really being married. Let's explore the matrimony possibilities together.

It's one of the ultimate commitments when you say "I do" to your significant other. That's even true for dogs as 68 canine couples just took the big leap into matrimony in what attempted to be a world record ceremony in Illinois.

Someone's been naughty and there's a better than average chance that someone lives in a Missouri city that was just named as one of the top 5 most unfaithful places in America.
