Why I Loved Being Married! By Michael Baisden
I’ll never forget my wedding day. My wife and I flew into Las Vegas and stayed at Caesar’s Palace for a long weekend. We made plans to get married at one of those small chapels in town. She was so excited when we got the marriage license, she was shaking like a leaf.
The ceremony went by so fast I can hardly remember the vows being read, all I cared about was placing that ring on her finger and calling her Mrs. Baisden. To this day, she is the best human being I’ve ever known and a damn good wife! Kind, loving, compassionate, great cook, hardworking, and beautiful inside and out. And although our marriage ran its course in only 5 years, it was a wonderful experience!
I’m writing this commentary because I don’t want people to get the impression that because I celebrate being single that marriage isn’t just as wonderful, if not better! With the right person!
Marriage can be the most incredible experience if you’re truly on the same page with your partner. If you truly love each other and, most importantly, if you’re best friends!
Marrying the right person means, I have my teammate for life, I have the Bonnie to my Clyde, my ride or die, FOR REAL! There’s no doubt in your mind that this person is good for you and makes you a better person and you make them better too!
But what marrying the right person means most is that the search is over! Whether we want to admit it or not most of us are searching. Maybe not to the same degree but our antennas are always up for that extraordinary person.
And once you make that connection you can focus all your love, all your passion, and all the pinned-up energy on building something with that special someone. Those of you who are married to the right person know exactly what I’m talking about. You feel like an unstoppable force!
So, to all my single people, continue to enjoy your single life and learn to be happy in your own space, that will make it that much easier when the right person comes along so you can enhance each other’s life! #marriagecanbeamazing

Do You Have Room For A Relationship? By Michael Baisden
Do You Have Room For A Relationship? By Michael Baisden
Some people are single because they haven’t made room in their lives for a relationship. And when I say made room, I mean that literally. Do you have room in your closet, do you have room in your drawers, do you have room in the medicine cabinet, do you have room in your schedule?
How can we expect someone of quality to be attracted to us when we design our whole lives to fit only us? We live in just enough space to fit in our stuff; we only have enough space in our schedule for our friends, kids, family, work, church and maybe the gym. Emotionally, we’re invested in our friends and their issues. And then we have the audacity to ask, why am I not meeting any quality single men or women? My answer is, you don’t have room for one!
People are working longer hours to make ends meet, there’s homework with the kids, three to four hours of sports or reality TV every night, Facebook and Instagram take up another hour or two a day, and let’s not forget the hour-long phone conversations and texting with friends gossiping about absolutely nothing! So why are you so surprised that you’re single? You don’t deserve a good man or a good woman! They require your time!
And for the ladies, I need you to write this next lesson down and share it with all your girlfriends. Men do not, will not, never have and never will date a woman who is unavailable. They may stick around for a month or two if you’re attractive and the sex is good, but after that, they’ll be gone like a puff of smoke. Poof!
But here’s the interesting part: Most of those men and women who are too busy or unwilling to make space in their closets, in their drawers, and in their schedules are most often the ones who wind up in affairs with men and women who are married. You don’t have to worry about them taking up your busy schedule or valuable space; they have plenty of closet and drawer space at home with their spouses and children. All they need is a chair to drape their underwear over for their Friday night booty call.
When you limit your emotional, mental and physical space, you’re projecting part-time energy into the universe, and you’ll get back exactly what you deserve — a part-time lover. I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it a thousand times, Karma is real!
