Saturday 9: Is There Life Out There?

Is There Life Out There? (1992)
  
Unfamiliar with this week's song. Hear it here.

1) This song is about a woman who married at 20. It's estimated that the average American groom is 2.5 years older than his bride. Why do you suppose that is?

~ To be honest, I have no idea why. The only thing I could think of is that many women like an older man to take care of her and older men like to find a younger lady to spend time with and keep him feeling young

2) A 2014 study shows the bigger the age gap in a marriage, the more likely the couple is to divorce. What do you think is the reason for most divorces?

~ Changing interests, not paying attention to each other, simply falling out of love, wanting something different in life

3) Reba's second marriage recently ended. Statistics show that second marriages are more likely than first marriages to wind up in divorce. Why do you suppose that is?

~ Realizing that divorcing isn't as hard as it seems. In the first divorce, people have faced the problems that go with it.  They know what can happen financially and emotionally Realizing that vows made can be easily broken.

4) This week's featured artist, Reba McEntire, was discovered when she sang The National Anthem at an Oklahoma City rodeo. Have you ever been to the rodeo?

~ Nope, seems like fun though

5) Reba dropped out of Southeastern Oklahoma State University to go to Nashville and pursue a recording career. In that way, she's like the woman she sings about in this week's song. "She's done what she should, should she do what she dares?" Do you ever regret a risk or opportunity you didn't take?

~ I regret never getting married and never having children, I would have made a great

6) Reba's heroine is "dying to try something foolish, do something crazy, or just get away." Does that sound like you? What would you do, just for yourself, if time and money were no object?

~ I would travel a lot, I would visit every state and I would go on a roller coaster in every state!

7) Reba recently became a spokesperson for Kentucky Fried Chicken. Whose chicken do you eat most often: Popeye's, Church's, Chick-fil-A or KFC?

KFC, I love their original coating

8) In 2001, Reba starred in her own sitcom. On the show, her character is first an administrative assistant and then a real estate agent. Have you ever tried your hand at either of those occupations? If not, which do you think you would be a better fit for you?

~ Nope, neither.

9) Random question: Which of these super powers would you rather have -- extraordinary strength or invisibility?

~ Definitely invisibility, I would go wherever I wanted, whenever I wanted
