This could be interesting for anyone in a long-term, committed relationship. Learn more about your significant other by saying one of these statements and agreeing or disagreeing with it, then let your partner respond with how he/she feels about it.
These things are kind of redundant, because Brandon and I have made it a point to discuss lots of “tough” topics since we started...

Great Bridal Expo! →
Brandon got the day off of work Sunday and we are attending the oh-so-fabulous looking “Great Bridal Expo,” which sounds a bit like a county fair-ish name, but no matter. We’re going to have a wonderful time and if it sucks, hey, who cares? The tickets were free and the zoo is mere blocks away.
