It's definitely been a lovely and unexpected season for me. I think since I was a teenager I have been so focused on boxing I had very little room for relationships and, honestly, even the thought of a relationship was out of the way for me. It's so lovely that love snuck up on the later stages of my career. Myself and my husband Sean, we have a lovely quiet life in Connecticut. We're very happy, thank God.

10 Things to Avoid if You Don't Want to Destroy Your Spouse's Self-Esteem

Marriage is not just a union of two bodies; it is the joining of two hearts, two histories, two minds, and two souls. Your spouse's self-esteem is sacred ground, fragile yet powerful. If handled with care, it blossoms. If mishandled, it withers away silently until all that remains is a broken version of the one you once loved.

The strength of her long, lean limbs drove me into submission. Her perfectly-highlighted blonde hair tickled the back of my neck. "Connect your pubic bone to your sternum. Hold it."

25 Couples That Can Never Have a Joyful Marriage.

Marriage was designed by God to be a haven of love, companionship, intimacy, and growth. But sadly, many couples never taste this joy, not because marriage itself is bad, but because of the way they live and treat one another. Some behaviors, mindsets, and lifestyles poison the foundation of marriage. When couples specialize in fault-finding, they focus more on each other's mistakes than their strengths. A wife who constantly points out her husband's failures without ever appreciating his efforts will eventually crush his spirit.

Studies have shown that married people are on average happier than those who are unmarried, and the effect holds across decades of data. But he added, "It isn't marriage, per se, that makes you happy. It's the good marriage you have. If a marriage is good enough to keep, you'll likely get a happiness boost from keeping it. If it isn't, you'll likely get one from leaving."
