 Love Bite #5: Dating!

Dating is a form of human courtship consisting of social activities done by two people with the aim of each assessing the other's suitability as a partner in an intimate relationship or as a spouse.

Many couples go from dating to a relationship, which then leads into "I Love You!", "Will You Marry Me?" and "I Do!".

Jon & Rachel- Committment Theory Audio Book 
Jon Proposed on 1/28/11

My fiance and I love listening to audio books before bedtime, so my proposal idea was to make up a book about commitment, record 3-4 minutes of it, and insert my proposal into it. And then at the end ask her to marry me. I came up with a book title: "Commitment Theory - What To Do Before You Say I Do". I wrote an intro, summary and a first "case study" of a guy (who was my voice) explaining how he went through each of the 5 steps of commitment to find happiness. Read More

Love Bite #1:Enagement Rings!

Being that I love, LOVE. I decided what better way to showcase it by doing 28 Love Bite Facts on: love, relationships, & wedding planning!

Love Bite #1: Engagement Rings!


Engagement rings are often worn on the fourth finger of the left hand because the ancient Greeks maintained that that finger contains the vena amoris, or the “vein of love,” that runs straight to the heart. The first recorded wedding rings appear in ancient Egypt, with the circle representing eternity as well as powerful sun and moon deities.
