Love

I am so glad that I was granted a reprieve from dating more than 20 years ago. It's tough out there. Want more proof? There are reports that women in Illinois are now looking for love in a very unconventional place - running clubs.

How happy are you in your relationship? I don't mean to intrude, but the reason I ask is if you're common law married, there's something you need to know if you're thinking about moving to Illinois. There's only one (rather awkward) reason to do it.

There's nothing quite like having someone you love that loves you back in a long-term relationship. In some states, after 7 years together, you are common law marriage. What about Missouri? Is there common law marriage in the Show Me State? The answer is both yes and no. It's complicated.

And on the day of love. Awwww!

Here's some good news just in time for Valentine's Day. Awwwwww.

The song says breaking up is hard to do and it's not wrong. But, did you know there is some new data that shows the exact amount of time it takes for a Missouri person to get over an ex? It's probably longer than you think.

There's a new national survey of those that date online which has some interesting finds about Illinois singles. It would appear that "swipe left" is their favorite action as the Land of Lincoln is allegedly full of picky people.

This sounds like something straight out of a country song.

Romance is such a subjective thing. What's romantic for one person might not be for another. However, I think most of us can agree that hot tubs check that box and that's probably why the most romantic location in Illinois is this place with a hot tub in the woods of Union County.

Can you really know if it's easier to find love in one state over another? There's some science that claims you can. As a matter of fact, the study claims that it's easier to find your soulmate in Illinois than Missouri because...science.
