relationships

Those in serious relationships or engagements should pay attention to a study just done by the University of Missouri.

I love and respect the people of Arkansas. Please remember that. However, I cannot recommend that any Missouri person go there to find a love connection. There are more than 5 reasons why, but for the sake of time I'll limit myself to those.

My lovely wife of over 20 years was born and raised in Iowa. I need to clearly state that based on what I'm about to share. There 10 Iowa counties you really should avoid if you're also looking for love. You can thank me later.

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.

How happy are you in your relationship? I don't mean to intrude, but the reason I ask is if you're common law married, there's something you need to know if you're thinking about moving to Illinois. There's only one (rather awkward) reason to do it.

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.

When it comes to states that have residents who search for details on what it would take to get a divorce, very few states rival Missouri and Illinois who are nearly at the top of the list.

The song says breaking up is hard to do and it's not wrong. But, did you know there is some new data that shows the exact amount of time it takes for a Missouri person to get over an ex? It's probably longer than you think.

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.
