Hi Timothy,

When doing challenges on Treehouse, the instructions must be followed exactly or you will get the Bummer! even with syntactically correct code.

Here the instruction explicitly state that: "Each object should have 2 property/value pairs. Yours have 3. In fact, when checking your code, you receive the error message that says: "Bummer! Each object must have two properties."

So, if you just delete one of the properties you have inside the object literals, the rest of your code is correct, and the challenge will pass.

Just a note: your commas are correct, and it doesn't matter if there is a semicolon or not after the closing square bracket. The convention for semicolons in JavaScript is a highly debated topic right now, and while putting one there is still the more common convention, leaving it out is completely fine too. Semicolons in JavaScript are statement separators not statement enders, so it's really up to you... just be consistent.

Nice work!! :) :dizzy:

Remove the commas after assigning the maritalStatus value.

commas are needed all the way up to the last maritalStatus because its the continuation of the previous objects, and also the semicolons dont really affect the code since I did the previous challenges with no semicolons at all.. I tried all of this before posting this question and it didnt work

And put a semi-colon after the square bracket on the last line.
