@FarmGirlCarrie @robertdunlap947 We paid $550 to elope and have been married almost 35 years….

The statistics show it: Invest in a Marriage not in a wedding. The wedding industry is a $60 billion machine built on convincing you that spending more means loving more. The research says something different. Emory University researchers surveyed over 3,000 couples and found that the more you spend on your wedding the more likely you are to end up divorced. The data is consistent enough that it's hard to ignore. Women who spent over $20,000 on their wedding were 3.5 times more likely to divorce than those who kept the budget between $5,000 and $10,000. Couples who spent less than $1,000 on their wedding had the LOWEST divorce rates of all. Now here's the nuance that matters. The researchers don't believe an expensive wedding causes divorce. They believe the financial behaviors and pressures that lead couples to overspend on a wedding create the conditions for marital strain down the road. Financial stress is consistently the number one cause of divorce. Starting a marriage with $30,000 in wedding debt on a combined $80,000 income is a fundamentally different situation than spending $30,000 when you earn $300,000. There's also a finding in this study that almost never gets mentioned in the viral versions of this stat. Couples with large guest lists but modest budgets had some of the strongest marriages of anyone in the study. The researchers believe community support from friends and family matters far more to a marriage than what you spent on centerpieces. The wedding industry spent decades convincing people that the size of the ring and the budget of the reception are expressions of love. The data disagrees 💍 ♥️ Source: The Argent Group

@ABC A grown adult woman had an affair with a married man with children and were supposed to feel sorry for her? No thanks.

Paige Shiver says that during her yearslong relationship with former University of Michigan coach Sherrone Moore, she became pregnant but experienced complications. abcnews.link/jqCHi2f?utm_so…

@Nati_Sports I have a couple tickets to the draft party that likely won’t used….

I bet the draft ratings in Cincinnati will slide pretty hardcore today Most of us will be turning in tomorrow for the 41st pick

@zimwhodey As a 40+ yr fan and current season ticket holder if this is true I love Joe more for it. I told my son last year Joe needs to demand change, if they won’t do it for him then they never will and the franchise will never be fixed.

I feel like all great QBs should be telling their ball-club this especially the ones that have been in the league longer & never gone to a SB.

RT and ❤️ for a chance to win a signed Dexter Lawrence II Bengals helmet!

@JenniferSey The double tape on the tape dispenser in the beginning lol

The trend of mocking “influencers” is my favorite new form of entertainment. And these guys cracking up while doing it is top notch.

@BlueJacketsNHL How many give aways did the 5th line have tonight? Asking for a friend.

Ending the night with a salute to the 5th Line ❤️

@DylanTyrer @UnionAndBlue Not at all interested in what he has to say. Sorry.

Don Waddell has a huge offseason ahead. He stopped by the booth to discuss his free agents, Rick Bowness' future and the #CBJ's recent college free agent signings.

@CoachUrbanMeyer 😭

@BigWillie7179 @bengaljims_BTR 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

6 weeks out from Transplant . I’m down to 298 pounds . I feel great . I still must be careful around crowds and certain foods because my immune is being suppressed. I thank GOD everyday . I’m truly blessed. I challenge you all to research donating a kidney . You may save a life .

@ttjanszen @FauxJeaux My seasons are in the end zone and they’re great seats.

@FauxJeaux I tried to move down to lower bowl, 4 tickets and the best I could find were corner end zone. Not sure what you are seeing, but I don't see a lot of primo tickets available.

It looks like a lot of Bengals fans cancelled their season tickets There are more seats available than I've ever seen

@ENC0130 @BackAftaThis Agreed. We were there as well in the top of red seats in the outfield. We didn’t know what happened until the radio told us on the ride home.

@BackAftaThis I was there,they didn’t do a great job of letting the fans know what was going on

April 1, 1996. 320-lb umpire John McSherry suffers a massive heart attack and dies on the field, seven pitches into opening day in Cincinnati. The most horrific/heartbreaking thing I've ever seen in a sporting event. 😥 If you don't want to watch it, please don't watch it.

@BackAftaThis We were at opening day for the first time. Way up in the last few rows of the red seats in the outfield. We didn’t know what happened until the radio on the ride home.

@RedSox4Life1960 @Willie700WLW Same. We were looking at coming down Saturday but we will skip it.

@Willie700WLW Well we were looking for tickets to Saturday’s game as big Red Sox fans, but after seeing this idiotic behavior thanks to your posts, I think we’ll stay home In Kentucky. ⚾️🥴🥴⚾️

Another night in Cincy… and .. it’s only March..
