The Amazing Super Mario Marriage Proposal

Oct27

Check out this amazing video of a wedding proposal via a video game!

We love how she notices the game is moving along a little differently... and then there's text spelled out in gold coins... and then her finance enters the room and gets down on one knee!

The best part?  When the dog does a happy dance around them at the end.  I guess that means she said "yes."

We love it!


How Much Does Religious Faith Affect Your Marriage?

Oct27

The Wall Street Journal has an interesting piece this week about married Jews who take "birthright" trips to Israel have felt a strengthening of their marriage.

"A new study found that rates of marriage outside the faith were sharply curbed among young Jews who have taken "birthright" trips to Israel, a development that could hearten Jewish leaders worried about assimilation...

"While past studies have found that trip participants return with a greater appreciation of their Jewish roots, a study to be released Monday by Brandeis University researchers is the first to suggest that the trips also affect marriage behavior. Its results showed that 72% of those who went on the trip married within the faith, compared with 46% of people who applied for the trip but weren't selected in a lottery."
