A heart felt thank you to everyone who shared their own stories of happy marriages, and to those who offered kind wisdom in the comments section of my post offering advice to a woman looking to marry in her 30s.  In addition to the comments on the topic of happy marriages, three different bloggers wrote their own response in blog form:

• OneSTDV isn’t married but shared his thoughts in his post Anti-Family Attitude of the Manosphere.
• Elusive Wapiti wrote on the topic in his post My Marriage Doesn’t Suck Either
• Ulysses sounded off with his Double Entendre.

On the topic of advice, I should have another column out in the next few days responding to a reader’s question via email.  I look forward to reading your thoughts in the comments section of that post as well.

Blogger Oz Conservative was kind enough to link to my posts on Last one down the aisle wins in his post Dalrock nails it.  I thought I knew all of the big players in this space, but clearly I was mistaken.  Oz has been blogging since 2004, and has excellent pieces like The silent apartment to show for it.

Since I have already linked to Frost’s Ask an A**hole post twice, many of my readers no doubt have already seen it.  If not, it is an expert and entertaining hamster route. As Susan Walsh wrote the comment by Twenty is a perfect accompaniment to it, including this snippet:

Yes, I read the second paragraph. It wasn’t exactly a searing self-examination, was it? For instance: Can you cook? Are you a bore? Do you whine a lot? Are you capable of forming a pair-bond? What are your macroeconomic views? Mac or Windows? Glock or H&K?

Speaking of Susan Walsh, my wife found the following USA Today/AP article:  N.J. town limits chicken hookups

A New Jersey town has adopted an ordinance that regulates when chickens and roosters can hook up in backyard henhouses.

Roosters must show they’re disease-free and they better not crow about their conquests.

Have a great weekend!
