A bit vague , my question ?? Mmm, I mean, what does it take to have a great , interesting, interactive, loving, seductive, reassuring relationship ?
I recon I must be fooling myself, just like when your young you believe in fairytales ...Is THE secret Only about compromising ? There's a fine line between ''compromising '' and lying to yourself ... One can only change because He decides too ! No one else can achieve that ... Cheers.What is the secret of a good relationship/marriage ?
Though there are so many things that make a good marriage possible, here are my favorite...Know when to say you're sorry, when to shut up, and always say thank you.What is the secret of a good relationship/marriage ?
i am basing this from the greatest marriage i ever saw , the kinda love i never knew existed and the kinda marriage i want .....my grandpa loved my grandma more than ANYTHING , even when she died fighting her 3rd round of cancer , he terribly wished it was him and not her , he slept sitting up for months just so he could hold her hand and she know that he was there , and the moment he left her room she died so he wouldn't see her die . they each took up the others slack , took care of the other when they were sick, and my grandpa when it came to a disagreement he agreed to disagree . he constantly told her how much he loved her and knew she adored roses and he put roses all around the house and and made them grow just for her , their marraige was like when they were young dating each other. i am married and wish my marriage was like theres ... they rarely ever argued ... in all my yrs maybe 2 arguementsif you wanna call it that... i ever heard them have .... marriage is give and take .... and its 100% effort on both parties ..
As a Christian, I believe that putting God first as my number one priority will help me have a successful marriage. I know the wife has to do her part also because when the couple says ';I Do'; to each other, the two are no longer two but one. That means y'all work together as one instead of two. It's like a football team. One player doesn't try to do it by himself. But instead, the whole team gets involved by everyone doing their job like the offensive linemen. They block while the quarterback and running backs do their job as well. The same goes for a married couple. They have to work together. If you have to, you can buy some books on marriage at a Christian book store. Buy one that you believe will be good to read and learn from it. I hope this helped. I wish you the best.
You want a relationship or marriage? These two are totally different.
Relationship is for two people get together to have fun. No attachment, no commitment.
Marriage is for two people get together after they had their fun and now it's time for attachment and commitment and let the 'suffering' begin.
Communication,TRUST %26amp; respect are the keys,to a great marriage..
You have the keys %26amp; practice them every day,everything else will just
fit into the natural order of things,no dramas..
My own feelings on relationships,are they are a compromise,in them selves,because the sworn commitment is not there..Just my opinion..
Hope this answer helps you sort yourself out..
There is no single ';secret';, but when each member of a couple gives a hundred percent to the marriage, that marriage stands a very good chance of lasting a lifetime. None of this ';meet you halfway'; or ';it's a 50-50 proposition'; crap. It's all or nothing, capisce?
Well, the secret about a good marriage is the main purpose when you decided to marry him..
I like to say that married to make our spouse happy is the sweetest thing but it getting difficult after through many years. Always rewind your feeling why you love and choose him/her to be with you,maybe it can bring you to the happy longest marriage.
If I told you then it wouldn't be a secret. First you need to join the Freemasons before I consider letting you in on the ';secret';.
trust
belief
is secret of good relation
not compromise
it is but to a level
untill it don't hurt ur selfrespect
GOD BLESS U dear
secret of a good relationship....Trust, respect, communication.
Sorry, if i knew that, i would still be with my ex.
if you aren't the best of friends hang it up otherwise you don't have a chance
know how to say i'm sorry sometimes. and find the right person.
Why do some couples stay happy together for a lifetime, while others are in conflict almost from the beginning?
Part of the answer is compatibility - making the initial choice of a partner with whom you share common values. Equally much, however, depends upon the choices each partner chooses to make during the relationship. Here are seven choices made by happy couples:
1. Trust: Suspicion and jealousy are the death knell of any relationship. If the other is going to cheat or otherwise dishonor the relationship, suspicion and jealousy will not prevent it, and such a relationship is fatally flawed in any case. Unwarranted suspicion and jealousy create misery in a surprising number of relationships. If you want to live happily, trust your partner completely. If they dishonor your trust, deal with the situation then. In the meanwhile, your will have been happy.
2. Open Communication: Tell the truth, tell the whole truth. If you didn't want to share your whole life with your partner, why are you together? If you make a mistake, admit it. If you have doubts, talk about them. Secrets and lies kill a relationship. With truth and openness anything is possible. Even if something is unforgivable, it is better to deal with it quickly.
3. Honoring the other's point-of-view: People disagree, couples disagree. Understanding that the two partners in a couple remain individuals is crucial to a happy relationship. Why would you expect that you and your partner should agree on everything? Honor that one of you is a Republican and the other a Democrat. Honor that one of you is a vegetarian and the other loves a great steak.
4. Self-Confidence: Co-dependence is another frequent cause of failed relationships. Happy couples know that they don't need each other. Each partner is a completely whole and valid individual who has entered into a voluntary partnership. Neither ';owns'; the other, nor ';can't live without'; the other. Each has their own interests and friends, as well as having mutual interests and friends.
5. Generocity: Greed and selfishness kill relationships. True love is generous in spirit. Mostly, generosity is not about material things, although that is also important. To have a happy relationship, be generous of your time, your love, and your attention.
6. Forgiveness: Resentments and thoughts of revenge and vengeance have no place in a happy relationship. Happy couples forgive each other completely for everything the other has ever done or failed to do - no exceptions.
7. Gratitude: Happy couples are continuously grateful for each other. Every day there are a myriad of reasons to be grateful for your partner. Find those reasons each day, and thank your partner every day.

Invisible is a bigot and pedos are not like gay people
also - homosexuality is natural so it can't be condemned as unnatural. 'homosexual'; was a term coined in 1869 so it can't be a sin or in the bible, the bible's been mistranslated and misunderstood
marriage used to be for same-sex couples and it should be again
Why do you think we really care?
The people with a modicum of intelligence are more concerned about the spending that is going on in government today. We'll handle that problem with we get the bigger fish fried.
Go to an amortization table. Find out what it takes to pay off a $10K 30 year loan at 4% making one payment a year. Now add nine zeros on the end of that and you have what it will take to pay off the national debt you and I owe today.
Now if you have a $10 trillion dollar debt at 4% and you pay nothing to principle or interest. In just 18 years that debt has grown to $20 trillion.
If you pay the interest every year you will have paid $7.2 trillion dollar and you will still owe the original $10 trillion.
That's what is going to happen if we don't tell Congress and the President to quit spending more then government is taking in. The next budget has a projected shortfall of $1.8 trillion.
Liberal or conservative. Republican, Democrat, or even Independent. Ignore the red herrings. Not even the great USA can spend like we're doing now and not have the whole thing eventually come down like a house of cards!
Personally I don't want my kids growing up seeing gay people on the streets kissing and stuff- thinking its so normal- I don't think its normal cause Im a christian and God says it aint!
I think it sends the wrong message to kids- and will only create more gay people. Why gay people want to make others life more difficult - I think its selfishness!
There are dozens of individual choices that affect no one but the participants but that are still outlawed.
Gay marriage is but one of them.
Government shouldn't run our lives - we should be free to marry consenting adults ----- and to choose what kind of shopping bags to use, whether to eat transfats, etc.....
It is usually older white religious neo-cons that protest. Then they get caught doing what they are railing against. ';I think they doth protest too much'; They must not be secure in their own sexuality or marriage. I have never felt that same sex couples hurt my marriage in any way.
Because they are obsessed with other people's private lives.
Think about it... they claim to be the party of small, limited government, but they want involvement in the most intimate parts of our lives.
Because it would mean their partners would finally be allowed to marry the person of their choice and the right wing nut's marriages would end.
Right wing nuts! There are many black and Hispanic people against gay marriage too. How about you go in their neighborhoods and try and convince them.
Most don't. It is just a hilariously ridiculous idea. Who comes up with this stuff?..
get over yourself, you can't hurt me
your ideology is a cancer to society though
there is no such thing as gay marriage. marriage is between a woman and a man
Because many married heterosexual men seek out gay men for their extramarital affairs.
They don't, but why do gay left wings nuts think it's OK to shove your lifestyle in our faces every day. Mind your own business and we'll mind ours.
I'm a FISCAL conservative that thinks the government should stay out of our lives.
True, very true, just listen to these people, no where to be found when bush was president.

Is it weird to be thinking about marriage?
My boyfriend and I have known each other for the last three years, became best friends, and started dating a little more than a year ago, and have been in a relationship for a little less than a year. I'm in college and he works for his dad's company now. I don't think of it seriously or hope he is going to propose, but sometimes I wonder if I'm the type of girl he would want to marry or if he ever thinks about marriage. Is this weird or creepy? I know I'm not ready for marriage...but I still think about it.Is it weird to be thinking about marriage?
Sweety you think about marriage because you are a women if you didn't want to think about marriage you still would. We are hard wired that way. Honestly. ;)Is it weird to be thinking about marriage?
That's compleetly normal, I got a new gf a few weeks ago and I've already thought about it. There's a difference between thinking and planning.
For example, you can have sexual fantasies about whatever you like but putting them into reality would most probably get you sent to court
he's probably not even thinking about it yet.
personally if i was your age i'd want to be in a relationship for about 3 years before marriage.
but to answer your question no it's totally normal to think about the long term.
I'm in high school and going to college next year. I think about marriage with my girlfriend. thats creepy...can't help it though...I wonder all the time. what you are thinking of isn't creepy. I'd go so far to say that what you are thinking is normal.
Of course it's not weird!
When you really love someone..your mind tends to wander down the marriage road haha.
who knows he may be thinking the same thing.
:)
Ofcourse its not weird
your just at that point where youre thinking about a longterm relationship with him
No, your in college. After college you start the rest of your career life, marriage life and more.
I'm only 17 and I think about marriage..
AND I'm a guy!
It's natural.
totally normal!lipstick kiss

Watching Porn is considered cheating in a marriage, true or false?
I think it's false. Watching porn is perfectly healthy as far as I am concerned, but my wife gets mad at me when I watch it. It's so stupid why a single or married woman would be jealous over a porn movie...be for real now.Watching Porn is considered cheating in a marriage, true or false?
What Joe said is correct. It doesn't have to do with jealousy. It's about disrespecting your wife/girlfriend. Men very easily become addicted to porn and soon believe that their wives/girlfriends should look like the porn stars. Soon, it isn't enough. They start looking elsewhere trying to fulfill the fantasy they see in the porn movies. I should know, because I had to deal with this with my husband.
Also, in the Bible, it very specifically says and I quote ';But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart'; Matthew 5:28
So, yes...porn is the same as cheating or committing adultery.Watching Porn is considered cheating in a marriage, true or false?
false you must do what you believe in dont listen to your partner cause that was the only time i ever felt love i was married 10 years and never even got i love you not once im divorced now can you blame me allthough i did love her she threw me out on my ****
false you must do what you believe in dont listen to your partner cause that was the only time i ever felt love i was married 10 years and never even got i love you not once im divorced now can you blame me allthough i did love her she threw me out on my ****
Watching porn is almost as bad as fantasizing about someone else.
I used to get jealous until I realized that it wasn't personal against me that he was watching it. We talked about it and now it's okay and we both can watch it togeather. As far as where the jealousy came from was the thought that I was not secure about our sexual relationship and thought he was having to go to porn to get what he wanted. I realize now that isn't the case and it's a great mood stimulator!!!
Depends on the couple. Each couple has their own boundaries and their own definition of where the line is. It's not universal.
It's something that the COUPLES have to discuss and determine, not a bunch of strangers on the internet.
That being said - it's not cheating in my book. But if it gets to the point where watching porn *takes the place of* actual interaction with the spouse, then it's a problem (even if it's not cheating).
Because the fact you are drooling over other women makes it CLEAR to her that you also fantasize about being with other women and if given the opportunity...............and seeing you INDULGE those fantasies................
Get the idea yet?
It makes her feel insecure and you do not respect or love her,else you would not want to make her feel that way.
If your wife was pretty enough to marry, then why do you need porn?
It teaches men to view women as sex toys and not human beings and no one wants to be treated like that.It will teach your kids that you are a perv,or it will teach your daughters in order to be loved, they have to be a slut who is available to be used for sex at will, it will teach your sons to treat women as things instead of persons.

Yes porn is a form of cheating,it is cheating without following through at the point, but it leads to making your spouse feel inadequate,unattractive,unloved and unwanted resulting in marital problems.You are not going to be able to have your porn and marriage so eventually you'll have to choose one.You will choose the porn over your wife hands down.
It's wrong if it becomes an addiction......some men replace their sexual relations with their spouse with porn....that's wrong. Porn is a fantasy world and some men don't know how to separate fantasy from reality and begin to compare their wives with the women on porn.....that's wrong to. It's not the actual watching of it that I disagree with, it's what it causes and leads to in some men that's the problem.
My husband and I watch porn together.
I don't think that watching is porn is cheating at all, but if the porn is interfering in the relationship then it is an issue. Porn should not have to be used ALL the time for foreplay and it definitely should not be used instead of being with your wife. I would also limit my viewing of porn since your wife has issues - Do you have an addiction to porn? Have you tried asking your wife to watch it with you?
It doesn't matter what we think. If your wife is uncomfortable with it, then you shouldn't do it. You shouldn't want your wife to be upset about this. It really shouldn't be so important to you that you would do it without regard for her feelings. If you can't stop, then you need to seek help. Otherwise, the respectful thing to do is to stop for her piece of mind. Many women don't like the thought because they are afraid their husbands will compare them to the porn stars. No one wants to go to bed with their mate and think that their performance and body will be judged by unreasonable standards!
False! it is imaginary, the fantasy, why would it be considered like real life cheating? i know i dont care if he does, i dont see the big deal, i do it to sometimes.
i dont understand why some people get sooo upset about it, i'd rather have him watching it on tv than actually doing it.
False.
I have stated in forums that i think it helps couples, not just men, express themselves in fantasy that doesn't damage the primary relationship. I never understood how some women get so torn up at the ideas of it---but I have no issues with it.
I didn't mind my boyfriend watching porn until he started to get out of bed every morning and watch it, when I was perfectly willing to have sex. If it begins to consume time you have together them it is kind of like cheating.
depends on the the marriage. some women are ok with it and some women are dead against it. it just depends on what YOUR wife thinks not what any other woman thinks
Watching pornography of any kind is cheating yourself out of a normal healthy life.
What she needs to do is become your porn. Some women actually like watching it with their partner.
It isn't cheating. It's a guy thing.
Gosh, I hope not, or else my hubby and me are cheating on each other together at the same time, lol. Porn can be a turn on, maybe your wife should watch with you.
Definately False.
false, but it can be offensive and hurtful if he watches it rather than be with her. like dont watch it when she could be wanting you instead.
I have watched porn because I needed To see more normal sex than kissing your hand.
I don't see it as cheating and I don't care if he watches it. I will watch it too.
Watching it with ur partner is not cheating if she enjoys it too but behind her back IS..)
I watch porn with my hubby! Its fun to copy moves and do what they do in the movie! Its so not cheating!
False.
False.

I would also limit my viewing of porn since your wife has issues - Do you have an addiction to porn? Have you tried asking your wife to watch it with you?
It doesn't matter what we think. If your wife is uncomfortable with it, then you shouldn't do it. You shouldn't want your wife to be upset about this. It really shouldn't be so important to you that you would do it without regard for her feelings. If you can't stop, then you need to seek help. Otherwise, the respectful thing to do is to stop for her piece of mind. Many women don't like the thought because they are afraid their husbands will compare them to the porn stars. No one wants to go to bed with their mate and think that their performance and body will be judged by unreasonable standards!
False! it is imaginary, the fantasy, why would it be considered like real life cheating? i know i dont care if he does, i dont see the big deal, i do it to sometimes.
i dont understand why some people get sooo upset about it, i'd rather have him watching it on tv than actually doing it.
False.
I have stated in forums that i think it helps couples, not just men, express themselves in fantasy that doesn't damage the primary relationship. I never understood how some women get so torn up at the ideas of it---but I have no issues with it.
I didn't mind my boyfriend watching porn until he started to get out of bed every morning and watch it, when I was perfectly willing to have sex. If it begins to consume time you have together them it is kind of like cheating.
depends on the the marriage. some women are ok with it and some women are dead against it. it just depends on what YOUR wife thinks not what any other woman thinks
Watching pornography of any kind is cheating yourself out of a normal healthy life.
What she needs to do is become your porn. Some women actually like watching it with their partner.
It isn't cheating. It's a guy thing.
Gosh, I hope not, or else my hubby and me are cheating on each other together at the same time, lol. Porn can be a turn on, maybe your wife should watch with you.
Definately False.
false, but it can be offensive and hurtful if he watches it rather than be with her. like dont watch it when she could be wanting you instead.
I have watched porn because I needed To see more normal sex than kissing your hand.
I don't see it as cheating and I don't care if he watches it. I will watch it too.
Watching it with ur partner is not cheating if she enjoys it too but behind her back IS..)
I watch porn with my hubby! Its fun to copy moves and do what they do in the movie! Its so not cheating!
False.
False.

Invisible is a bigot and pedos are not like gay people
also - homosexuality is natural so it can't be condemned as unnatural. 'homosexual'; was a term coined in 1869 so it can't be a sin or in the bible, the bible's been mistranslated and misunderstood
marriage used to be for same-sex couples and it should be again
Why do you think we really care?
The people with a modicum of intelligence are more concerned about the spending that is going on in government today. We'll handle that problem with we get the bigger fish fried.
Go to an amortization table. Find out what it takes to pay off a $10K 30 year loan at 4% making one payment a year. Now add nine zeros on the end of that and you have what it will take to pay off the national debt you and I owe today.
Now if you have a $10 trillion dollar debt at 4% and you pay nothing to principle or interest. In just 18 years that debt has grown to $20 trillion.
If you pay the interest every year you will have paid $7.2 trillion dollar and you will still owe the original $10 trillion.
That's what is going to happen if we don't tell Congress and the President to quit spending more then government is taking in. The next budget has a projected shortfall of $1.8 trillion.
Liberal or conservative. Republican, Democrat, or even Independent. Ignore the red herrings. Not even the great USA can spend like we're doing now and not have the whole thing eventually come down like a house of cards!
Personally I don't want my kids growing up seeing gay people on the streets kissing and stuff- thinking its so normal- I don't think its normal cause Im a christian and God says it aint!
I think it sends the wrong message to kids- and will only create more gay people. Why gay people want to make others life more difficult - I think its selfishness!
There are dozens of individual choices that affect no one but the participants but that are still outlawed.
Gay marriage is but one of them.
Government shouldn't run our lives - we should be free to marry consenting adults ----- and to choose what kind of shopping bags to use, whether to eat transfats, etc.....
It is usually older white religious neo-cons that protest. Then they get caught doing what they are railing against. ';I think they doth protest too much'; They must not be secure in their own sexuality or marriage. I have never felt that same sex couples hurt my marriage in any way.
Because they are obsessed with other people's private lives.
Think about it... they claim to be the party of small, limited government, but they want involvement in the most intimate parts of our lives.
Because it would mean their partners would finally be allowed to marry the person of their choice and the right wing nut's marriages would end.
Right wing nuts! There are many black and Hispanic people against gay marriage too. How about you go in their neighborhoods and try and convince them.
Most don't. It is just a hilariously ridiculous idea. Who comes up with this stuff?..
get over yourself, you can't hurt me
your ideology is a cancer to society though
there is no such thing as gay marriage. marriage is between a woman and a man
Because many married heterosexual men seek out gay men for their extramarital affairs.
They don't, but why do gay left wings nuts think it's OK to shove your lifestyle in our faces every day. Mind your own business and we'll mind ours.
I'm a FISCAL conservative that thinks the government should stay out of our lives.
True, very true, just listen to these people, no where to be found when bush was president.
You hurt me when you misspell ';their';. They believe it to be damaging to the psyche of young children.
People raping and killing little kids doesnt affect my marriage either. Doesnt make it right.
Why does the gay agenda want to pretend the Gay marriage is ';normal';?
homosexuality is an abomination and goes against all the laws of God and nature!!
When you find the answer, tell me. It'll blow my mind.

Why do people not agree with gay marriage?
So I get that people don't like/support gay marriage. What I don't understand is why? Yes, it's in the Bible that it's wrong, but why does it matter to YOU if you aren't gay? I don't understand why people are against it so much. If it doesn't affect you, then why would it matter who got married and shared THEIR life together? I also don't understand if someone isn't religious, then why does it still matter? I'd love to hear everyone's opinion.Why do people not agree with gay marriage?
When they call it ';marriage'; it comes with an activist agenda. That means lawsuits when churches refuse to perform gay marriages! That means children are taught about gay marriage without parental permission at a very young age. Won't happen? It already has!
Civil unions, not marriage. Gays already have legal rights!
There is no federal ';right'; to get married.Why do people not agree with gay marriage?
The Bible says God blessed Adam and Eve, a solemn vow that binds them as man and wife, the very essence of marriage. That essence focus there, and not man and man or woman and woman. If two individuals of the same sex choose to live together as man and wife, let them live together, but not to the extent entering into marriage, violating the very essence of it created by God. If homosexuality not acceptable in the Bible, same sex marriage is another insult to the injury!
Some people are ignorant. Its as simple as that. And most of the time it all has to do with religion. I don't see how religion is still dictating marriage, nowadays though. I just hope people can overcome being so blindly hateful, biased and ignorant. They say their bible says it is wrong but their bible also says not to judge others such hypocrites. I think its the whole 'Holier than thou' syndrome. They want to fight against it because it makes them look more godly, they want people to see them fight. ';look at me im doing gods work';
I agree. I'm fully supportive of gay marriage because love is love, and religious beliefs shouldn't be part of legislation. I just think of my gay friends - most of my guy friends are gay, I guess you could say I'm a fag hag - all the women in my family are, lol. I love them as much as I love all of my friends, because they are good people who are fun to be around. It hurts to think about the discrimination they face, because they don't deserve it. I especially feel hurt when I think about two of my best guy friends who have been a couple for almost 4 years now. They are probably my favorite couple I have ever known, gay or straight - they are more in love than anyone I've ever known, but not in that annoying in-your-face way. It's in that way where everyone that knows them agrees that when you see them, you just KNOW they are meant for each other. It seems so hypocritical that some religious people would refer to their love as an ';abomination';, or a threat to the ';sanctity'; of marriage (whatever that really means). I think it's so stupid that people would oppose the little bit of real love that still exists in a world full of hate and ugliness.
I'm a straight female. I believe in gay relationships to an extent. I think that if you want to be in a gay relationship and get married then go for it. BUT, think it's wrong when I see two men/women in public places holding hands or showing affection. I was in a WalMart the other day and there were two guys making out in an aisle way. I mean, I don't even believe in that form of PDA with straight people! I'll peck my boyfriend on the lips in a store but NEVER will I make out with him! But, to answer your question, I think that people are scared to move another step forward in gay ';freedom'; per say. In my opinion, if two people of the same sex want to spend the rest of their lives together (via marriage or not) then so be it.
that crap about the bible is wrong, people use the bible as a weapon, but in the bible that letter from that guy he states that he abstains all sex, whether straight or hetero, sex should only be used as reproduction, nothing else, theres nothing in the bible about not getting married, and to those bibble thumpers out there, how many are women and where are your veels? or any people's ancesters where slaves, and where are your owners? these things are in the bible, but how many people follow them?
I don't agree with gay marriages because why would you want to join something that's against you? The bible says you should be stoned to death but you want to make a covenant in the eyes of this God?
However i do agree with the legal aspects. That's why i agree in civil partnerships. Look at what happened to Freddie Mercury's boyfriend when he died.
i'm not really sure why. people think about it as not being natural i guess. i agree with what you're saying though. if you know that you're not then why does it matter if someone else is.
i know alot of people i talk to always say eww what if they hit on me. But what they don't seem to understand that they are regular people!!
for example you don't think about hitting on EVERYONE you see of the opposite sex. guess what, neither do they (of the same sex haha).
but even if you get hit on you can always say sorry i don't swing that way. no one is about to attack you over it.
as for the confusing children thing. i agree with that in a way but also if they're in a loving home why does it matter. i understand it can be hard but they will learn to accept and they will grow stronger. especially since (if they were adopted) they could be put in foster care and move around from one home to another.
there are many situations. but just as an example
Because I think supporting it is encouraging it. I don't want to encourage a little boy or girl to discover or prove if he or she is really a boy or a girl.
I don't believe that there is such a thing. I just think that our culture now doesn't encourage individuals to ';discover what they are'; but rather, it ';confuses who they are';.
In America we are supposed to have freedom of religion. I wish it were so. For some reason it's okay for the Christians to impose their laws on the rest of the country. The only reason gays can not marry is because Christians believe it's wrong. That's it. It really goes against what America is supposed to be all about.
yep... your question and our opinion is right according to your thought.. when you come outside of that circle and first think practically whether its a right act.. its wrong as accepted by you.. your are talking a bit crazy.. you expect unlawful things to be declared lawful. this makes the law meaningless. right now u got to know that gay marriage is against bible, because your in the same generation where it started. imagine when your born itself gay marriage is legal. then right you wont feel that to be wrong.. so rights must be reserved to impart right things.
People are ignorant. If it's not ';normal'; or ';correct'; by the stupid bible then it's wrong.
Well, you know what the bible says that murder is wrong and it doesn't specify so killing animals is wrong. UH-OH a lot of religious people eat meat. They're going to hell too.
Personally, I think its about time that couples that act married should have to pay marriage tax like the rest of us.
It makes some people feel oh so powerful to be able to rip the Civil Rights away from a minority group.
I feel the same way that you do. Let people be, dont strip rights away especially if it doesn't affect you in any way.
Many should just learn to kive and let other live.
Accept that their freedom ends up where the freedom of others begin.
some people are just old-fashioned, ignorant and intolerant
try tellin the government to separate church and state *sigh*
what you will get as answers from gays is alot of name calling against those that dont want it, reality speaking most people dont want to be forced into thinking a certain way and thats what gays want, they want to force people to see thats its ok, for example, the people of calif have voted 2xs against it, but now gays want the court to force the issue even though the people said no, gays lives would not change one bit if they didnt use the term marriage, they already have partnership laws that allow them protection and benifits, buying property ,medical ect, when you talk to gays they say we just want to be able to love my partner, well they do that already, and get the same bennies as married couples under those laws, the only thing they dont get is SS when the other partner dies, but thats a federal thing and not a state thing, my question would be since they already get partnership protection why do they want to use the term marriage, gays can buy property together, get medical insurance together, ect,, so why do they want the term of marriage
This is a good question. There's nothing wrong with homosexuality between two consenting adults who are not blood relatives. Some people are just ignorant, pushing their own religious, brainwashed, puritanical beliefs on the whole world. I am sick of hearing people's beliefs about the bible-this and the bible-that. Well, guess what? - People are still arguing over whether or not there even is a god or not! It's wrong to enforce biblical beliefs on the world when there is STILL not even 100% proof that there even is a god, and not everyone is a Christian. Faith is not proof. Not everyone is a christian, so therefore it is wrong to force the bible on everyone. If YOU believe in the bible, then YOU can go live according to that. But nobody has any right to use it to tell others how to live, what choices to make and who they should and should not love. That's like taking one cookbook of one culture and telling everyone to only eat the meals that are in that book! I am a lesbian. MY father is a minister and I know I was NOT put on this earth for a man. My heart has always been with women, and YES, homosexuals can procreate, despite not desiring heterosexual relationships. We have reproductive organs, and you don't pass homosexuality on automatically to all children, and there's nothing unhealthy or harmful about being homosexual. That has been proven. My parents are straight but I didn't turn out straight. Gay couples can raise kids who are not gay. The point is, LIVE AND LET LIVE. It's not anyone's place to decide for others how to live just because they believe in the bible. I'm glad if you are happy, but gays and lesbians also have the same right to be happy as you do. It's in the U.S. Constitution that America is not supposed to be a Christian nation. Homosexuals fall on love just as deeply as heterosexuals do, and marriage is about the bonds of love. Not the bonds of religion.
And anyone who thinks that 'gays already have rights' is a complete moron who doesn't know the first thing about this issue. Gays DON'T have equal rights, and that's what we are fighting for. Some people just don't know what it's like to be discriminated against and have to fight the ignorance just to get fair treatment.
There, I've said it.
Other than the fact that it's sickening that we have women on earth put here by GOD for men, why would a man want to sleep with another man, and GOD didn't make Adam and Steve he made Adam and Eve. And if kids are involved it confuses the child(ren) before they even fully understand sexuality and they should know the truth about the bond of woman and man.
It just ain't right. Did your dad say if you are a man';go find a Nice man to keep you happy?'; My guess is no.Do you always go against the mainstream? Not even going to get into the moral/religion aspects of this question.
When they call it ';marriage'; it comes with an activist agenda. That means lawsuits when churches refuse to perform gay marriages! That means children are taught about gay marriage without parental permission at a very young age. Won't happen? It already has!

Other than the fact that it's sickening that we have women on earth put here by GOD for men, why would a man want to sleep with another man, and GOD didn't make Adam and Steve he made Adam and Eve. And if kids are involved it confuses the child(ren) before they even fully understand sexuality and they should know the truth about the bond of woman and man.
It just ain't right. Did your dad say if you are a man';go find a Nice man to keep you happy?'; My guess is no.Do you always go against the mainstream? Not even going to get into the moral/religion aspects of this question.
Where, besides the Bible, does it say marriage is a sacred institution?
And if the Bible (or any other religious book) is the only largely legitimate source for this claim, why on Earth do atheists get married?Where, besides the Bible, does it say marriage is a sacred institution?
There is a difference between marriage and Christian marriage. Secular marriage is a legal binding of two entities and is recognized by the state. Christian marriage also fulfills this legal aspect but it includes a spiritual aspect whereby the two become one before God and invite him to watch over them and bless their union.
A secular marriage is bound by the laws of the land but a Christian one should be bound by biblical standards. Sadly it is not, and the difference which should be a shining light in the dark is practically non existent. I guess if I was an atheist I'm not sure I would bother but it's fair enough if some want to. I can't see a problem with it.Where, besides the Bible, does it say marriage is a sacred institution?
Marriage is a secular legal contract between two consenting adults and the State.
It has *no* religious implications whatsoever. The religious matrimonial union the churches call ';marriage'; is a completely separate and unrelated institution.
Marriage is very sacred, and when your vows are read it is a scared union that gets announced. Why atheists get married is beyond me, but they have just as much a right to be happy as we do.
Atheists get married for love, Christians get married for love and for God's happiness.
Interesting question

Interesting question
Have you ever just met someone out of the blue and questioned your whole marriage?
Just because your are more compatible with that new person? Or am I dreaming- the grass is Always green on the other side?
I have been dating/engaged/married for 5 years- I never felt this way before?
Nothing happen- no cheating........ We just spend the weekend with some friends- and someone NEW was there.Have you ever just met someone out of the blue and questioned your whole marriage?
The fact that this person has caught your attention points out the temporary state of ';love';. The powerful attraction we feel for someone is a result of chemistry, literally, and fades with time, to be replaced by either a strong, familial bond or apathy.
Your infatuation for your partner has passed its expiration date. This attraction to a new person is simply a signpost. Which way do you want to go?Have you ever just met someone out of the blue and questioned your whole marriage?
I COMPLETELY understand what you are talking about! I am having these exact same thoughts. I lay in bed at night thinking about how things could be different and then of course feel guilty for even thinking these things.
Nothing has went on in my situation either, but I still think about the grass on the other side and it looks much greener...
I hope it works out for you, I just keep thinking that it is just a new fascination for me and it will pass but instead it keeps getting stronger... it is so confusing!
Good luck to you!
Never. I've met beautiful women that had a lot of interests I shared. Women that perhaps I could have had a wonderful life with. But, I never questioned my marriage because of ANY other woman. I love my wife. She does have a lot of medical problems, and probably won't live to see 60. But, I treasure every day we have together, and wouldn't trade a single minute with my wife for a lifetime with Miss Universe- even if she had Bill Gates' money. We don't have much, but I'm far richer than I ever hoped to be. EDIT By the way, it's not just that I'm an old fart now. I didn't want other women when I was 25. Always LIKED women, but had the one I wanted.
I do think it is a case of the unknown and grass is greener... I have met women that my body instantly react to in a very positive manner but when my head gets to kick in I realize that if I was with them full time the ';perfection'; I see currently would definitely fall apart. That is kind of why fantasies are better than the real thing
My wife did that. We were having tough times and she met some guy who paid some attention to her. He gave her lots of great advice and seemed like such a nice guy. Then two months and one affair later, our marriage is wrecked and I guess it will never be the same again. Then my wife found out she was just one in a string of little flings that this ';nice'; (married) guy has had. Her name was splashed all over local web gossip sites. Now the one man who has stood by her for 16 years (even when she was a scared pregnant 19 year old) doesn't know if he can ever trust her again. If we divorce, how will she explain to her teenage son what she did? Will all her family and friends (most of them know) ever look at her in the same way again? She feels like a fool now and knows how badly she was tricked and played for a fool. She wishes she could take it back but the damage is done.
Are you beginning to get my drift?
Maybe the new person you met is your soul mate? I don't really know if there is such a thing, but I have had this happen to me. I met someone like that whom I still feel strongly connected to even though I made the decision to delete him from my life. I stayed with my husband but honestly I think about this person almost everyday and have not seen or talked to him in almost a year.
I wish you luck with this and I hope whatever you do works out for the best!
grass always seems greener on the other side because after knowing someone long enough you see their flaws, or ways that you're incompatible (no two are exactly alike), so the new person you meet out of the blue seems perfect in every way. Why? because you don't know him or her. It's a passing fancy. Hope your marriage means something to you.
Temptation will always be there, you just have to view the pros and the cons. Is what you have going good? Than why chance losing it. Most people end up cheating because they miss the rush of being in a new relationship and their current one has probably started to lose much of its spark. It happens to everyone, and that is why only 50% of marriages survive over 10 years.
Everything seems great when it's new
Car, House, Relationship, Etc but as it ages it takes maintenance to maintain
So no I haven't but I am also going through a divorce now too but that was because SHE cheated
Yeah, I did the before. It was stupid, though. Her true colors were shown the more I was around her. After that, I realized it isn't always a matter of being more compatible--but more of me tryin to find a reason to do somethin different. That doesn't help anyone in the end.
Yes, and fell in love with him.
It was heartbreaking, he loved me too.
But my loyalty had to be with hub and kids...especially kids.
I sacrificed my happiness for theirs, which I thought was the right thing to do.
I still love the other guy with all my heart and miss him every day!
Boredom may be the biggest cause of troubles in marriage so you sound like you need to put spice in it. So spice it up find out what spouse wants and put it to them
the grass isn't always greener on the other side.. but if i was you since your married i would def stop seeing him if you have feeling for him.. good luck with ya..
I bet your hubby feels the same way about someone new.....now you can both feel wonderful
Nah, I just sleep around whenever I'm horny.
Nope thats never happened to me. Ofcourse Ive been attracted to other men, but question my marriage? nope!
No

Why is it, that women who stand to gain in a divorce, feel that marriage is romantic?
while women with a good job, their own house etc. quesiton the need for marriage in this day and age ?
Are womens feelings of romance triggered by cold calculations and rational assessments, even if they do not realize it ?Why is it, that women who stand to gain in a divorce, feel that marriage is romantic?
ummmmmm no.
women who question the need for marriage are the independent type that want to focus their time and energy on a career and their own stuff.
women who feel that marriage is romantic want to focus on their family and taking care of their man and kids. they don't have time to spend on a career.Why is it, that women who stand to gain in a divorce, feel that marriage is romantic?
I've never been big on marriage. I'm independent and reasonably successful on my own, but I don't think my feelings about romanticism and marriage have to do with what I would stand to ';gain'; in a marriage and/or divorce. I have been married. I married for love and I didn't gain anything in the divorce. In fact I left almost everything behind when he cheated.
I think women who are independent tend to often find those 'material' successes on their own. They tend also to view marriage as lower on the priority list because of their independence.
That's a generalization of course.
';me!';
actually, professional women with money have it worse than males with money.
fact according to men and women who research things:
The more money a male makes in relation to his wife's income, the less likely they are to break up and the less likely the wife is to have sex outside the marriage. The more education a husband has in relation to his wife, the less likely a divorce.
With successful women its the complete opposite.
The more money the wife makes in relation to the husband, the more likely she or he is to practice infidelity and the more likely the marriage is to end in divorce.
Male ';diggers'; are 20000x worse than female diggers. Way more prone to infidelity. Way more prone to ';murder for the inheritance'; etc.
I think modern women have more to worry about than us guys with money.
Anyways, if you have money, you are smart enough to know to get a prenup right? Let the middle class guys worry about getting cleaned out. They are never bright enough to prenup it.
Women's feelings are triggered by instinct. Women know that if she gets pregnant, she will be the one carrying the baby for 9 months and the father could leave as many in this country do without a second thought. Therefore, she's in a very bad spot financially because she has to take care of a baby by herself. She wants someone with stability financially so she does not have to take care of the baby by herself, and marriage is stable. If there is a divorce, by law the father has to help take care of the baby as well. It's been shown in studies that women prefer the picture of a moderately handsome man in a business suit than the picture of a very handsome man in a fast food uniform.
There are some women who take it too far and become calculating gold diggers who spread their legs for someone with money, but don't judge all of us by those standards.
I believe women question the need for marriage if they have a good job and house because they know that marriage is unequal and they will have to pick up twice the mess and take care of any children. If looked at that way, what women really wants marriage?
marriage is for co-dependants. which usually leads to counseling and problem. now that you can catch herpes from even kissing, they should make it illegal to engauge in sex or relationship without proven std tests or a court order. otherwise your disrespecting yourself and giving into sick horny men.
It might be just what you are seeing around you. Or i might be the odd one out. I don't really have much to gain from marriage other than getting to fall asleep next to the man i love. Financially there isn't much there. I make my own way. But if he asked, i would say yes. He gives me Romance. Its not about money.
I think you're generalizing, but either way, I know some independent women with good jobs and they are all married or want to be married.
The reason is no one can be strong all the time.
Why is that that 9 out 10 of your posts are bashing women? LOL. Come on life is too short for all this negativity.
This is so irrational.
There is no gain except for the lawyers. Everyone else loses

Eventually every state will legalize it, that's a given. What would you do? Would you protest? Pray? Live and let live?';Christians';: What will you do when gay marriage becomes legal in all states?
I still wont become gay and I'll still teach my children that marriage is between man and woman.';Christians';: What will you do when gay marriage becomes legal in all states?
Though I am not a Christian I would see it as a great step forward for equality in our country.
It will happen sooner or later, and more legislatures will pass it, such as in Vermont. It was done by the state senate, not the courts. I am from Massachusetts and I haven't seen any reactions against it, really, and in fact I know gay people that have married here. They just wanted the other to inherit what they had together in the event of death, essentially.
Since gays have been allowed to marry in Massachusetts the sky hasn't fallen. You don't have to like it, but you should realize it's inevitable.
One step closer to ';freedom and justice for all.';
I will simply continue to identify it as a serious violation of God's standards 鈥?http://www.jimfeeney.org/againstgaymarri鈥?/a>
A similar example: millions of people in every state of the nation fornicate. That's no reason for Christians to stop encouraging abstinence.
Not all christians are against gays or lesbians they just want to preserve the word marriage to mean a union between a man and a women. I am a christian and do not agree with that type of living but the Bible also states not to judge. I have alot of Friends who are living in a same sex relationship and I believe they should have the same rights as married people but prefer to call the union something else can't same sex unions be called something else than the biblical word
Marriage.
Probably engage in the next battle which is to oppose polygamy, incestuous marriage, marriage between humans and animals, poly amorous marriage, etc. In all of those things, the advocates will talk about rights and commitment. What is your position on those things?
Hi Gotti...It is not what we are going to do but ,what is God going to do to us because we are denying His authority and blatantly disobeying Him as if He does not exist .When man-kind start to act like the antediluvians which were the people who were before the Ark flood, there thoughts were sinful continuously, I don't even want to think what's going to happen to us.. Love in Him Always...missleslie
I don't car what happens. Christians can freak about gays all they want. Let them live their live how they want. You can't take away their rights. I dislike gay people myself, but none the less, they have rights, and we can not take them away. We are equal.
I don't think EVERY state will legalize it, but many might. I'll probably pray for those people, but overall won't do anything. It's a sin, just like multiple things I have no control over. I would just let it go.
If that truly happens, I will continue to love the people, but I will never approve of their marrying, and i will still stand up for marriage between a man and a woman.
Be grossed out in every state I guess. It's just not my thing. Gays are together in every state now. They just aren't legally married in most states.
I will do the same as I do now....try to do as Christ asked and share the gospel with unbelievers. Repent and turn from your sin and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.
Protest the courts that pass the law. Most people are still against it. Why do they want to marry anyway? Sodomy used to be illegal.
I will try not to hurt something celebrating extra hard.
It's just another sign of the end of the world when evil becomes the norm.
Be happy that the cause of equality has been furthered?
It won't happen. God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve, or Alice and Eve.

How much longer can the Conservatives use the argument that gay marriage hurts the sanctity of marriage?
They will use it for as long as they can in order to further their ignorant agenda(s). Funny how divorce is a normal thing, and it for some odd strange reason does not destroy the sanctity of marriage, according to these people, but gay marriage does?How much longer can the Conservatives use the argument that gay marriage hurts the sanctity of marriage?
The word Marriage is what keeps this issue from getting resolved.
From what I understand all Gays really want is for them and their partner to be able to receive the same benefits afforded to married couples.
The Government aka State should not have a role in Church matters per Separation of Church and State!
First of all there is not a nation on earth that can force the Catholic Church or the Jewish Church to celebrate the Sacrament of Marriage between two people of the same sex. It just won't happen.
However, the Government should pass legislation that would allow Gay couples to receive the same benefits afforded to married couples without using the word Marriage.
Call it a Civil Union or Domestic Partnership.
Civil Unions or Domestic Partnerships would be the answer for Gays and others in similar situations such as elderly brothers or sisters living together.
This issue would have been resolved by now if it were not for the word Marriage and that Gays are pressing the issue.
As it stands the issue is too valuable to Politicians not to resolve but to use for their individual political gains.How much longer can the Conservatives use the argument that gay marriage hurts the sanctity of marriage?
Liberals want same sex marriage because it is incomprehensible to a liberal how can a person enjoy any activity or relationship without the seal of approval of government license. My boyfriend and I do not want to obtain such a license and subject ourselves to 10 volumes of government regulations. Our relationship involves no children and hence the government has no business is regulating our relationship via oppressive institution of ';gay marriage';.
Our actual interest common to all gays is less taxes, and less government and less welfare spending on octomom breeders. In other words liberals have absolutely no claim to represent us.
Forever. They can argue this point forever, and they probably will, since their voting base is now pared down to only people who wholeheartedly swallow this nonsense, anyway. The only difference to measure, after one more hypocrisy piles on top of the heap of Republican immorality and infidelity, is how many people are actually buying into the argument.
Not certain and I'm a Republican. Sometimes I hate having the FAR right being involved in our party..but they are usually good for a few votes with some false promises.
Gay people can't commit to each other but right-winger can break any Commandment they want to, gimme a break.
Another 30 seconds
no much longer
When people close their bibles
With their base forever.
With the rest of us...we stopped caring a long time ago. If we ever did.
As long as we feel like it.
Dont you have a gay wedding shower to attend?
I don't think a baboon life style is legitimate
Just because 2 gay monkeys..bong each other doesn't make it right
The word Marriage is what keeps this issue from getting resolved.
From what I understand all Gays really want is for them and their partner to be able to receive the same benefits afforded to married couples.
The Government aka State should not have a role in Church matters per Separation of Church and State!
First of all there is not a nation on earth that can force the Catholic Church or the Jewish Church to celebrate the Sacrament of Marriage between two people of the same sex. It just won't happen.
However, the Government should pass legislation that would allow Gay couples to receive the same benefits afforded to married couples without using the word Marriage.
Call it a Civil Union or Domestic Partnership.
Civil Unions or Domestic Partnerships would be the answer for Gays and others in similar situations such as elderly brothers or sisters living together.
This issue would have been resolved by now if it were not for the word Marriage and that Gays are pressing the issue.
As it stands the issue is too valuable to Politicians not to resolve but to use for their individual political gains.How much longer can the Conservatives use the argument that gay marriage hurts the sanctity of marriage?
Liberals want same sex marriage because it is incomprehensible to a liberal how can a person enjoy any activity or relationship without the seal of approval of government license. My boyfriend and I do not want to obtain such a license and subject ourselves to 10 volumes of government regulations. Our relationship involves no children and hence the government has no business is regulating our relationship via oppressive institution of ';gay marriage';.

What do you call people against gay marriage rights?
I'm writting a paper for my American Politics class about same sex marriage and I don't know what to call opponents to gay marriage...

The people who are against gay marriage rights should be officially called the: ';let鈥檚 stop those f@gs from taking over all that's sacred and holy'; group.
Or for simplicity's sake let鈥檚 just call them bigots.

Do you believe in staying pure until marriage?
I'm just a teenager, and I am being raised in a way to believe that their should be no sex until marriage. I promised myself I would do that, but nowadays it's like most people are having sex like its an ordinary thing. I see many young girls like me getting pregnant. Plus I've learned about stds and how horrible they if you get one. My question to you is, is it worth waiting for do you think? Or do you think people should lose their virginity whenever they want to as long as they use protection?Do you believe in staying pure until marriage?
I believe that if not until marriage (which is preferable) wait until you are with the one you want to marry. If it conflicts with your personal beliefs do not do it unless you know you will not regret it. The thing with having sex before marriage is many regret it if they do not end up with that person so it's a risk. If you decide to have sex with someone you love but are not married to, understand this risk and make sure it is a choice you will not regret if you do not end up with them.Do you believe in staying pure until marriage?
Personally I didn't wait for marriage and I have never regretted it. I think that having sex before marriage helps you get in touch with yourself. I for one would not marry someone that I was not sexually compatible with and the only way to find out of you are compatible is to have sex. I am not saying to be promiscuous by any means but I don't think that having a few partners is wrong.
You can work together with your husband of course if you guys didn't have sex until after marriage but imagine finding out your husband hates something that you love or would love to try and he just won't budge on it...it's the makings of most divorces.
well to be honest i feel that you should wait to have sex after marriage because there is TONS of nasty std's out there, and i mean come on you don't wanna give it up to the wrong person that you know you won't be with for along time. i'd just wait for mr.right and after you get married the choice is yours =) the only reason half the girls of your age do it is to look cool, and because they think having a baby is really cool when it's really not it's A LOT of hard work.
no, i don't believe that. sex is natural thing that people are programed to want. religion is the only thing that keeps people feeling guilty about it.
as long as you're informed, and are comfortable with your partner, it should be fun. use a condom.
*also, i know a few couples who waited until marriage only to find out that the sex was terrible and that they weren't compatible or comfortable with each other in that way. don't pretend that it won't matter if you love the person because it does!
virginity is something you cant get back once its gone. and if you believe in staying pure for your future husband dont think twice bec.of others doing much about it. dont throw it to somebody who isnt going to appreciate the sacrifice your going to give him. giving your physical body is one thing but sex finally with somebody you love so much and plans to spent the rest of your life with is much much better than others think.
believe me its much more gratifying and you both feel secured of yourself for it.
i should know. i did give my virginity to the only man i've ever loved and who loved me in return..and sometimes when things get rough on our relationship its that security that binds him to me/
best of luck.
note: by the way. i too grow up in a conservative family.
Waiting until marriage is the DUMBEST bull ever. Like, what is the world coming to? Sex is natural and once we hit puberty we all want it, now people are trying to control the way our body works. LOL
And anyone who complains about STD's or becoming pregnant, ever heard of A F***ING CONDOM MORON! They werk 100% of the time, unless you decide to do somthing stupid like take it off or rip it.
dont do anything that you dont want to... but it is something that cant come back so dont just give it up... make sure you love him at lease. but i dont believe in it... now a days most people want to '; try it on before they buy it'; so to speak... good luck ... oral is still in play! lol
Well... I personally don't really believe in waiting.. but I don't think just because everyone is out there having sex and making babies at a young age - means you should too. I think you just do what you feel in your heart is right. If you happen to fall in love, and have sex. Fine. If you wait until marriage, that's also fine.
I'm not big into the whole moral thing.
So my answer may be a little skewed.
But if you are mature enough... and
If no one gets hurt ( gossipy -talked about or put down by the person you slept with)
And that if they didn't get pregnant (or get someone pregnant) or get or give a disease.
You're probably good to go.
Literally.
God says we are to stay pure for our spouses. That even includes guys as well. However, society these days is a screwing society and they think all sex is OK. If you will look above a few questions, you will see one reason to not have sex before marriage. There is a guy with warts. ';STD';
Pure? So do you become soiled or dirty after your honeymoon night with your husband?
I dislike that term, 'pure'...it implies that married sex is dirty and the married couple is impure.....nonsense.
Call it what it is, Hon..staying virginal......and do what your upbringing dictates.
I strongly believe people should wait until marriage to have sex. It's never wrong to have morals and dignity.
YES, YOU SHOULD WAIT UNTIL MARRIAGE!! SEX IS OVERRATED!
GOOD LUCK!!
Either way, you'll remember the first time from when it happens until you die....trust me from experience its better to wait....saves a lot of heartache...God Be With You.....
I think if you can wait until marriage, it's a great thing! I'm not exactly religious, either.
There was some couple in the news a few weeks ago, maybe less, who waited till their wedding to even KISS eachother! Can you imagine how much fun they had that night? LOL you get what I mean!
I'm kind of 50/50 on the waiting thing.. I'm 20 and am a virgin, and am very proud of that! People are always surprised to hear it.
I wanna wait for someone who means a lot to me, and who I know loves me just as much back.. That doesn't necessarily mean the person I'm going to MARRY..
I'm not trying to sound negative AT ALL, believe me! But, ok look at Jessica Simpson for example. She was a virgin until she got married (or so she said, but let's just say she was) and then she got divorced like 3 years later. So she waited all that time for the person she thought she'd spend the rest of her life with, for it to end in tears.. I'd be freakin pissed! Lol.
I don't know, I just wouldn't really like that I'd be the 'pure' one in the relationship and wait till marriage etc but my husband/partner got to have all his fun before... ya know? It's a little unfair, and I'm not saying you should like keep tally marks of how many ppl you sleep with and try to match up AT ALL, but it would bother me to know that..
I think you should do what YOU think is right.. DO NOT be pressured to do it by your friends, or your bf... If you DO do it, be safe! Make sure the guy isn't just using you.
And in the end, whether you wait or not, the most important person to love is yourself, no matter what anyone says. So be safe,but have fun, and never let anyone make you feel like less of a person for EITHER decision.
:)
I believe in saving your self for that special someone. My husband was my one and only and i am very proud of that. Boy's will try to get into ever girls pants, but when it is time to marry they start looking for the young women who hasn't shared there most intimate feels with just anyone that has come along.
You are right that a lot of people these day don't care about morals. But that doesn't mean one should just give them self to just anyone. No wonder so many young girls get pregnant (Poor babies). No wonder there is so many sexual diseases.
My husband wasn't raised to save him self for marriage, but after meeting me he found it very SEXY to know I was untouched, pure in every Sense of the word. Once i told him I wouldn't make LOVE to anyone till i got married he had a lot of respect for me. He found our relationship in a whole new level and after dating for a year he proposed.
Staying pure and having morals isn't always easy with the world prompting us to do the opposite, but it is well worth it to keep your morals. Beside you'll never be taken advantage of ';SEXUALLY';. If a boyfriend leaves you because all he want is sex, He's not worth having as a boyfriend or future husband. He would just be the kind of man that might just cheat because SEX is so important to him.
So keep you morals!!! It will pay of in the end.
I think it's wonderful if you can wait. I didn't and I wish I would've. None of the other guys matter to me at all, now that I am with my husband. He's the only one that matters to me and I wish I would've waited for him to take my virginity. As far as pregnancy...you should definately wait when it comes to that too! Having a baby is such a huge deal, it changes everything in your life. You should get your education, have a career, meet a nice guy, get married, wait a while and then have a baby. I have a toddler now and she's amazing, but I am so glad that I waited until I was thirty to have her. Sex isn't anything unless you're with your one and only. And by that I mean your spouse! Good luck!

What is the most romantic or unique marriage proposal you have known of?
Well, sadly, it's not MY proposal, but fortunately, it's my best friends! It was so romantic! It was during a party in her hubby's house (let's just call him M to make it easier).
Well, the party was inside, so they both decided to go outside, just across the pool. She told me that for a while of talking, they both walked around the pool, in the moonlight in silence. Then suddenly, she noticed that he had disappeared. So she called his name, a bit frightened, since it was dark. Of course, after calling him, and asking if it was just a joke, her instincts told to her to go into the house.
Suddenly, while she was running, he ran towards her, and with her in his arms, M leaped into the pool with a ziplock full of m%26amp;ms (since both their names began with M, it was their initial 'candy', which also was represented GREATLY in their wedding, but that's another story...). He asked her if she wanted to eat the m%26amp;ms now, and her reply was something like ';In here? NOw?'; he just asked her, ';why not?';
So she opened the ziplock, and while eating the candy together, she stumbled upon a diamond, tiffany engagement ring. He then told her ';You told me that yesterday how happy i've made you, and i plan on doing so for the the of my life. Marry me?';
She was so happy, she almost drowned (but surprisingly, didnt lose the ring), but he lifted her up. Her reply was quick, ';YES!';
4 days ago What is the most romantic or unique marriage proposal you have known of?
My girlfriend was led on a scavenger hunt. He gave her the first clue at home and she spent the whole day going to all their favorites spots for clues. She went to the high school where they met--and her favorite teacher had the clue, to the movie theater in ';their seats'; on their first date, to the venue where they went to prom, to their regular Saturday breakfast spot, to her best friend's house, to his uncle's place where he flies his own airplane--he took her on a ride over the mountains where they spent three days hiking (her clue was under his uncle's hat), a number of other places, and at the very end, he proposed at a park gazebo where all her friends and family were waiting (he knew she'd appreciate sharing the moment with her family).
She started the journey at 8am and he didn't propose until 10:30pm.
It was so romantic and all everyone talked about for months.What is the most romantic or unique marriage proposal you have known of?
My wife proposed to me. She had no plan, she just blurted it out. We had only dated 5 weeks, but ';just knew'; we were meant for each other. I picked her up after her work at midnight. She was Head Nurse on the OB floor, and had a very bad day. Lost several patients. She didn't even want to go out, just wanted me to take her home. I talked her into getting takeout and going back to my place. She spilled an entire plate of Italian food on her blouse and skirt. Went into bathroom to rinse it out and left clothes in bathtub to soak. I was still wiping up marinara sauce off the couch and carpet when she came out wearing one of my shirts over her tights. She was crying, I told her we would just share my plate. She said something about me being soooo sweet to her, yada yada, then said, ';I'm ready to get married, how about you?'; I said, ';Yeah, I guess so.'; She sort of barked back, ';You guess so!!! Is that all you have to say about it?'; I replayed the scene in my mind and asked, ';Was that a proposal?'; ';Yeah, I guess it was.'; ';Well why didn't you say so?'; She said, ';Will you marry me?'; I got up and gave her a both hands on both cheeks kiss and said ';YES.'; We got married 2 days later, on a Chicago beach, at sunrise over Lake Michigan, with our friends, flowers, and a gallon of Ripple wine. That was 42 wonderful (mostly) yrs ago next month.
My fiancee is a big time bowler and me and my son have been going every week sometimes twice a week to watch him bowl (its only a big deal cuz we live an hour apart right now) but i dunno if u've ever seen the score screens above the lanes but they just have the persons initials instead of their full names and he had it all planned out and had his cousin get there earlyand enter thier names and put in my man dereks name as ';will you marry me'; and u have to get a strike or whatever to get the full name to come up on the screen and he knows i always watch for his scores.....well hes a really good bowler and he got up for his turn and looked back at me and was like this ones 4 u baby and got a strike....when i looked up and saw the message on the board i started to cry and by the time i turned back to him he was standing in his lane on one knee with thee most beautiful ring ive ever seen!!!! The whole bowling alley was in on it too (its a small community) so when they all saw derek go up every knew what he was about to do and everyone stopped bowling and just watched!!!! We'll be married within the next year!!!! :)
my cousin, Wynn, was proposed to by her husband-to-be four weeks ago. He's a contemporary artist and at his art show in orange country he flipped over one of his paintings being sold and on the back in big letters it said ';Will you marry be Wynn?';
And she said yes. And they ended keeping that painting.
My friend took his girlfriend on a lake boat ride. He had a plane draw a heart in the sky with a note saying MARY ME! Her name was MARY.
after my water busted, he got down on one knee and popped the question with a cubic zirconia in the middle of my trailer

My girlfriend was led on a scavenger hunt. He gave her the first clue at home and she spent the whole day going to all their favorites spots for clues. She went to the high school where they met--and her favorite teacher had the clue, to the movie theater in ';their seats'; on their first date, to the venue where they went to prom, to their regular Saturday breakfast spot, to her best friend's house, to his uncle's place where he flies his own airplane--he took her on a ride over the mountains where they spent three days hiking (her clue was under his uncle's hat), a number of other places, and at the very end, he proposed at a park gazebo where all her friends and family were waiting (he knew she'd appreciate sharing the moment with her family).

To the people who currently support gay marriage-Did you used to think gays were weird or were you homophobic?
Just wondering, and what changed your mind with your views on gays? Friends? Family? Just wondering what made you change from not liking gays to supporting them.To the people who currently support gay marriage-Did you used to think gays were weird or were you homophobic?
I use to be homophobic when I was an insecure teenager. But the difference between me and the extreme right is, I GREW UP. Its not mine or anyone else's place to tell people who love each other what they should or shouldn't do.To the people who currently support gay marriage-Did you used to think gays were weird or were you homophobic?
My opinion: What someone who I don't know in any way at all has Absolutely no effect on me or my life. I'm not gay, and I don't know any gay people, but I do think they should be allowed to marry and share their lives with who ever they want. It's really none of my business.
I'm married interracial and the thought that 50 years ago I would not be allowed to marry the man that I love is horrible. It's the same thing the gays are going through now.
I never had the opinion that gay people are somehow wrong. Nobody can really hold that opinion without resorting to old testament morality - and that shouldn't be part of modern law.
I never really had a negative opinion on gays or gay rights. I think they should be treated the same as anyone else...love is love is love.
As I grew older, wiser and became better educated, I realized that it's none of my business what two other adults are doing behind closed doors. Or the government's.
Consenting Adults should be able to do as they wish in a free society
No.

Can I get married in NY while I am pending final divorce from previous marriage?
I have filed for a uncontested divorce and nothing is being claimed from the previous marriage and I am trying to get married but the divorce is not final can I still get married in the State of New York in a different county. I am trying to make sure that both my fiance and my son have the benefits before I go back overseas. PLEASE HELP!Can I get married in NY while I am pending final divorce from previous marriage?
No you have to be divorced anywhere before you can remarry anyone!!!Can I get married in NY while I am pending final divorce from previous marriage?
The only thing that you can do is to go see the judge and ask for immediate action and tell him/her why. Since it is uncontested, the judge may do it immediately. You MUST wait, as if you get married before the judge signs the papers to make you divorced, you will be guilty of polygamy which is a crime, and will nullify your second marriage.
Good luck.
Regards,
Dan
What you are wanting to do is against the law and could get you in trouble. You can't be legally married again until you have got the final divorce papers. It would be stated in your final divorce papers that you can remarry again.That is what was stated in my final divorce papers.
You need to be divorced before you can be legally married again.
no
your first marriage needs to be legally terminated before you can remarry

What is the most romantic or unique marriage proposal you have known of?
Well, sadly, it's not MY proposal, but fortunately, it's my best friends! It was so romantic! It was during a party in her hubby's house (let's just call him M to make it easier).
Well, the party was inside, so they both decided to go outside, just across the pool. She told me that for a while of talking, they both walked around the pool, in the moonlight in silence. Then suddenly, she noticed that he had disappeared. So she called his name, a bit frightened, since it was dark. Of course, after calling him, and asking if it was just a joke, her instincts told to her to go into the house.
Suddenly, while she was running, he ran towards her, and with her in his arms, M leaped into the pool with a ziplock full of m%26amp;ms (since both their names began with M, it was their initial 'candy', which also was represented GREATLY in their wedding, but that's another story...). He asked her if she wanted to eat the m%26amp;ms now, and her reply was something like ';In here? NOw?'; he just asked her, ';why not?';
So she opened the ziplock, and while eating the candy together, she stumbled upon a diamond, tiffany engagement ring. He then told her ';You told me that yesterday how happy i've made you, and i plan on doing so for the the of my life. Marry me?';
She was so happy, she almost drowned (but surprisingly, didnt lose the ring), but he lifted her up. Her reply was quick, ';YES!';

My wife proposed to me. She had no plan, she just blurted it out. We had only dated 5 weeks, but ';just knew'; we were meant for each other. I picked her up after her work at midnight. She was Head Nurse on the OB floor, and had a very bad day. Lost several patients. She didn't even want to go out, just wanted me to take her home. I talked her into getting takeout and going back to my place. She spilled an entire plate of Italian food on her blouse and skirt. Went into bathroom to rinse it out and left clothes in bathtub to soak. I was still wiping up marinara sauce off the couch and carpet when she came out wearing one of my shirts over her tights. She was crying, I told her we would just share my plate. She said something about me being soooo sweet to her, yada yada, then said, ';I'm ready to get married, how about you?'; I said, ';Yeah, I guess so.'; She sort of barked back, ';You guess so!!! Is that all you have to say about it?'; I replayed the scene in my mind and asked, ';Was that a proposal?'; ';Yeah, I guess it was.'; ';Well why didn't you say so?'; She said, ';Will you marry me?'; I got up and gave her a both hands on both cheeks kiss and said ';YES.'; We got married 2 days later, on a Chicago beach, at sunrise over Lake Michigan, with our friends, flowers, and a gallon of Ripple wine.

Is the federal government notified of a marriage?
Or is it just kept on file with the state?Is the federal government notified of a marriage?
Marriages are public record in the state where you are married. The state maintains all of these files, so if you want to check on a marriage record, you should contact the state government, not the federal government.
If you change your last name after marriage and need a new passport or social security card, you will notify federal agencies to make these changes. If you file taxes, you will note that you are married and filing either jointly (with your income combined with your spouse's) or separately (based on your individual income alone), and these forms will go to the IRS, which is also a federal agency.
But simply, no, if you get married in Texas they don't send a copy of your certificate to some central database run by the federal government.Is the federal government notified of a marriage?

What to do when lost in a marriage after 17 yrs?
My wife started a business a year and half ago, she spends a lot of time there from 5 am to 6-7pm. I have taken over the household chores,paying the bills, and working myself 40 hours a week. All her time and money go right back into the business. Our marriage is none existent, we spend no time together. Our kids are pretty much grown. She just does not see or want to hear that she has no time for family anymore. This business is her dream but at what costWhat to do when lost in a marriage after 17 yrs?
I like your picture. :)
I started a small business 3 years ago, and Yes, it's draining. Home is chaos, and the communication with husband is B a d.
If I could do things over, we should've had a 'family meeting' of the changes coming, and Solutions from everyone on how to handle it. (You're a gem to help out at home, I don't have that going for me. *pout*)
People have told me to do this:
-hire a cleaning lady once a week, (mainly kitchen and bathroom)
-take a business class on how to delegate more work to employee/s
Maybe she's going through empty nest syndrome, and this business is replacing a void.
If you're feeling neglected, then tell her you need time together. You're in the beginnings stages of a dying marriage.
*EDIT I just re-read your question and notice your kids are still home. hello. Mine are both in high school too.
Another thing, if you and her can make some goals together, as in where you both see yourself and business in 2-3-4 months, or possibly cut down on the store open hours.
The 1-2nd years are the hardest, and I don't see how she can maintain her schedule without getting burnt out.
You should schedule things to do with children, even if by yourself, she'll feel like she's missing out.What to do when lost in a marriage after 17 yrs?
ask her over a date....

I hear people say gay marriage would hurt straight marriage and/or society, but is there any proof?
Is there any hard evidence that same sex couples uniting in marriage like everyone else would damage society? Please don't quote something that is only about gay people in general. I want to know specifically about same sex marriage.I hear people say gay marriage would hurt straight marriage and/or society, but is there any proof?
Unfortunately people don't read about their politics. I was/am
For No on Proposition 8 (California marriage should still be legal for gays)
But there are catches to it, and it does bring up a little bit of a
social argument and also fiscal defecates.
1) Kids naturally would ask teachers about it, and what are they suppose to say?
2) Why does certain churches only marry some and not others? this
would make contraversey (although i believe the church should have
the right to marry who they want)
3) Benefits within working buldings is now availble to more people and
insurances for them would also cost more money for people
4) Two friends could get married just to benefit for insurance (whether or not they are really into one another or not) this would be fraud.
(And trust me MANY people would do this)
So it isn't as simple as many people phrase.
Damage society? No. Harmful? No.
Changes for the society and economy? Yes.
I hear people say gay marriage would hurt straight marriage and/or society, but is there any proof?
The American critics of same-sex marriage betray their provincialism with this argument. The fact is that a form of gay marriage has been legal in Denmark since 1989 (full marriage rights except for adoption rights and church weddings, and a proposal now exists in the Danish parliament to allow both of those rights as well), and most of the rest of Scandinavia from not long after. Full marriage rights have existed in many Dutch cities for several years, and it was recently made legal nationwide, including the word ';marriage'; to describe it. In other words, we have a long-running ';experiment'; to examine for its results -- which have uniformly been positive. Opposition to the Danish law was led by the clergy (much the same as in the States). A survey conducted at the time revealed that 72 percent of Danish clergy were opposed to the law. It was passed anyway, and the change in the attitude of the clergy there has been dramatic -- a survey conducted in 1995 indicated that 89 percent of the Danish clergy now admit that the law is a good one and has had many beneficial effects, including a reduction in suicide, a reduction in the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and in promiscuity and infidelity among gays. Far from leading to the ';destruction of Western civilization'; as some critics (including the Southern Baptist, Mormon and Catholic churches among others) have warned, the result of the ';experiment'; has actually been civilizing and strengthening, not just to the institution of marriage, but to society as a whole. So perhaps we should accept the fact that someone else has already done the ';experiment'; and accept the results as positive. The fact that many churches are not willing to accept this evidence says more about the churches than it does about gay marriage.
Christian Conservatives choose this stance because they say that gay couples who want to get married at a church, but the church refuses to let them get married there deny them for religious reasons can sue the church. This is only true insofar as discrimination is concerned. Those cases where it was a place open to the public, and the couple was not allowed to get married there, the church was successfully sued. Places specifically only for members of that religion were not. Theyre twisting evidence for their own gain.
Gay Marriage would NOT hurt society.
If my gay neighbors get married, it doesn't affect me and my marriage any more than anything else they do in their private lives. I can't imagine how their lifestyle could crawl across the lot line and invade my house. That's just silly.
This is just another example of fabricated ';dangers'; designed to put gays down.
Yep. it would definitely help the overpopulation crisis, one of the things religious nutcases refuse to tell you. It would help starving children have homes and good lives. It would help people accept each other in general. It would help some kids stop commiting suicide.
Yes. There's proof from all the other countries like Canada and European countries where same-sex marriage has been legalized and no ill effects whatsoever have been noticed.
The ';hurt'; comes from the implication that gay marriage is impure and would destroy the traditional values of the union between a man and woman.
There is NO hard evidence at all. People are just trying to cook up reasons to deny gays.
It would convert all the straight kids in the world to be gay!
*sarcasm*
Watchlisting - I would like to see this so-called proof!
no. I live in Canada and straight people seem to be perfectly fine...

For No on Proposition 8 (California marriage should still be legal for gays)
But there are catches to it, and it does bring up a little bit of a
social argument and also fiscal defecates.
1) Kids naturally would ask teachers about it, and what are they suppose to say?
2) Why does certain churches only marry some and not others? this
would make contraversey (although i believe the church should have
the right to marry who they want)
3) Benefits within working buldings is now availble to more people and
insurances for them would also cost more money for people
4) Two friends could get married just to benefit for insurance (whether or not they are really into one another or not) this would be fraud.
(And trust me MANY people would do this)
So it isn't as simple as many people phrase.
Damage society? No. Harmful? No.
Changes for the society and economy? Yes.
I hear people say gay marriage would hurt straight marriage and/or society, but is there any proof?
The American critics of same-sex marriage betray their provincialism with this argument. The fact is that a form of gay marriage has been legal in Denmark since 1989 (full marriage rights except for adoption rights and church weddings, and a proposal now exists in the Danish parliament to allow both of those rights as well), and most of the rest of Scandinavia from not long after. Full marriage rights have existed in many Dutch cities for several years, and it was recently made legal nationwide, including the word ';marriage'; to describe it. In other words, we have a long-running ';experiment'; to examine for its results -- which have uniformly been positive. Opposition to the Danish law was led by the clergy (much the same as in the States). A survey conducted at the time revealed that 72 percent of Danish clergy were opposed to the law. It was passed anyway, and the change in the attitude of the clergy there has been dramatic -- a survey conducted in 1995 indicated that 89 percent of the Danish clergy now admit that the law is a good one and has had many beneficial effects, including a reduction in suicide, a reduction in the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and in promiscuity and infidelity among gays. Far from leading to the ';destruction of Western civilization'; as some critics (including the Southern Baptist, Mormon and Catholic churches among others) have warned, the result of the ';experiment'; has actually been civilizing and strengthening, not just to the institution of marriage, but to society as a whole. So perhaps we should accept the fact that someone else has already done the ';experiment'; and accept the results as positive. The fact that many churches are not willing to accept this evidence says more about the churches than it does about gay marriage.
Christian Conservatives choose this stance because they say that gay couples who want to get married at a church, but the church refuses to let them get married there deny them for religious reasons can sue the church. This is only true insofar as discrimination is concerned. Those cases where it was a place open to the public, and the couple was not allowed to get married there, the church was successfully sued. Places specifically only for members of that religion were not. Theyre twisting evidence for their own gain.
Gay Marriage would NOT hurt society.
If my gay neighbors get married, it doesn't affect me and my marriage any more than anything else they do in their private lives. I can't imagine how their lifestyle could crawl across the lot line and invade my house. That's just silly.
This is just another example of fabricated ';dangers'; designed to put gays down.
Yep. it would definitely help the overpopulation crisis, one of the things religious nutcases refuse to tell you. It would help starving children have homes and good lives. It would help people accept each other in general. It would help some kids stop commiting suicide.
Yes. There's proof from all the other countries like Canada and European countries where same-sex marriage has been legalized and no ill effects whatsoever have been noticed.
The ';hurt'; comes from the implication that gay marriage is impure and would destroy the traditional values of the union between a man and woman.
There is NO hard evidence at all. People are just trying to cook up reasons to deny gays.
It would convert all the straight kids in the world to be gay!
*sarcasm*
Watchlisting - I would like to see this so-called proof!
