After all these years, I’ve finally gotten my husband to watch The Bachelorette with me (don’t tell him I told you, ok?). I’m now 100% convinced that watching the show as a couple is the key to a successful marriage. …oh, and coffee. Coffee is the other key to a successful marriage. But, this show, you guys!
