Marriage

Have you heard that if you live with someone for 7 years that you are considered married under common law? Is that really a thing in the Land of 10,000 Lakes?

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.

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.

Crazy enough, the answer is a little more complicated than a simple yes or no.

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?

They say marriage is sacred, but all bets are off in divorce, and nowhere are the stakes higher than among the über-wealthy.

Are you tired of dating people from bland, uninteresting states and looking for someone who can bring some excitement and personality to your life?

It's one of the ultimate commitments when you say "I do" to your significant other. That's even true for dogs as 68 canine couples just took the big leap into matrimony in what attempted to be a world record ceremony in Illinois.

A man from Wheaton, Illinois is really taking the whole protective Dad thing to the extreme, and I don't think I could handle something like this as graciously as his daughter is.
