Doug and Carrie are the most realistic married couple on TV.

Marriage Told by 'King of Queens'

The comedy sitcom The King of Queens is based around a married working class couple, Doug and Carrie Heffernan that still keep viewers laughing. The show sadly ended in May of 2004 but was thankfully picked up by TBS for reruns every weeknight.

My husband and I will watch King of Queens every night before bed and find ourselves laughing at the similarities our relationship shared with theirs. Maybe other couples don't relate to the lives of Doug and Carrie but we definitely feel it is the most relatable depiction of marriage that has ever been portrayed on TV and here are some reasons how:

When your husband isn't afraid to let you know how crazy you are


When your husband only cares about the simple things in life

When your husband says he would rather stay in then go to the game


When your husband shows his true appreciation for you...


When you need your husbands honest advice that is going to set him up for failure


When you have to take one for the team


When your husband's guy friends convince him to stick up for himself when they want him to go out.

When you see each other at their low points


When you come home from work to rant about your day


When your husband saying something stupid


When only YOU are allowed to make fun of your spouse


When your husband has to deal with your emotional days


But at the end of every day you're a team

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
