7 Things to Learn from Reality Show Couples

Marriage isn’t always the happy bliss that we dream it will be leading up to our wedding day. That is the reality of life, and really - it is ok. But when is Reality really reality? Is Reality TV really real? Most of the times, it isn’t. A lot is left behind on the cutting room floor. There are still things we can learn from Reality TV couples though - as this article at HitchedMag points out.

My favorite:

Say what you mean, but no need to be mean with what you say. Your mother was right! If you don’t have anything nice to say… be quiet. Not something that often happens on reality television and we certainly see the outcome. So don’t be afraid to speak your truth, but turn the volume down a notch and pay attention when your spouse is speaking—no “channel surfing” allowed!

Your wedding plans shouldn’t just be about your wedding day. They should be about the marriage after the day too!

What things do you think you can learn from Reality TV couples?

    I have watched quite a bit of reality tv lately. I am currently addicted to http://www.cbs.com/primetime/big_brother/. During this season, Ollie and April began a showmance within the first week of getting into the house. They were so close during the season but really, it can not be real until you get into real life situations. It is just not realistic and your expectations are narrowed. I think you can also learn from movies as well. There are great stories. You love to watch them and enjoy stories.
