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

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
