What will you do if either your partner's, or your own parents disapprove your marriage giving the ultimatum to choose either the family or your partner? Main reason is because we came from different culture, country, language, religion etc and parents find it difficult to communicate as compared to having a local partner. Time may help, but the emotion stress and 'waiting approval' period may wear us out.
I do not have a solution. Is it better off to part ways early?Handling parents who disapprove your marriage?
cut and paste...... and ask again..... you'll get another different answer from me.Handling parents who disapprove your marriage?
Parents usually object because they know how difficult it is to stay married to those unlike yourself if vast lists of differences are there.
Marriages succeed best when the couples have lots in common, not lots of differences.
Same religion, same politics, same race, same ideas on children, same ideas on how money ought to be spent, same commitment to each other and your relationship -------on and on and on, hon. And you dont find these out until you have known each other almost two years.
My dad made sure I understood this early on... like when I was 11. His comment was always, ';Never shop in a store in which you aren't going to buy anything.'; And at a very tender age, he made sure that things like these make or break a marriage.
Any one can get along with anyone else during the 2 years of passion. After that, and after kids? Nope.
So, don't marry this person until you know him/her well. And for sure, don't have children until you have traveled together, spent time together in all sorts of situations. My dad suggested 5 years. By then, your relationship has gone from hot passion, to comfort, contentment, communicating very well, and respect, admiration, and trust.

No human can predict what life you gonna have in the future, not even your parents .Nobody can know what is the character of your husband or you after you already married. It is better to live on your dreams and to live with someone you love. It is a step forward for dreaming a happy family life. What ever will be the outcome, at least you taste to be happy but make sure he also love you even without your family own family behind you. Then if he does...., give him a break!
Hon, you live in Singapore. Your world is very different from ours and you can not apply our way of life to yours. If you were American I would say you pick your husband and your parents will eventually come around but I know better. I know your parents will disown you forever and society will look at you differently because of it.
I have a colleague who did the same as you. Life became intolerable in Singapore so they moved here in Canada. She's been married for 10 years now and her mother-in-law still hates her deeply and make her life miserable even if she's a world away from here. Her MIL calls her names, tells her all the time she's a bad wife for her son, a bad mother for her grand-children. Her husband can't defend her because a son has to be on his parents side.
Ask yourself if you're ready for this kind of life....and eventually have to move to another continent to have some kind of peace.
Your family has nothing to do with your love life and if they love you they will have to deal with what choices you make. It is very stressful but you need to let them know this is your life and if this is all that i takes to for them to turn their back how much could they have ever cared for you. If they tell you they are doing this because they love you, then let them know you love him and all they have to do is come around with a smile on their face and support you but keep their negative feelings to themselves and to respect your decision. Put your foot down, it's not about taking sides but your happiness. This is your life, live for yourself!
If your husband provides for you, supports you, treats you well etc. and provides all the good qualities he should then your parents are in the wrong.
They have to accept that if you are happy and being treated properly then they should really keep their negative opinions to themselves and then either accept your husband or move on.
This is an age old problem. Bottom line here is this you are the one who has to choose the life mate you believe will complete your life. No one else has to live with your decision. It is not important that the parents are able to communicate. What is important is can the two of you communicate?
It's not what I ';will'; do, because it is done: I chose my wife. I'm a grown up adult - I don't need my parents. What I need is a spouse to build a life and raise our children with!
U both are responsible for who you marry, for better or for worse.Your family/parents form only a part of the integral link. Afterall its your own happiness you seek.You marry that person not their parents.U r gonna start a family with your loved one not your parents. They object for their own beliefs be it right or wrong. At the end of the day, who are you out to please?If u listen to your parents, will it make u any more happier? Or if you choose to ignore them, do you feel any less miserable? Seek out your own true feelings. Time will heal all wounds, eventually they will learn to accept the other person. That is provides he/she is good to you. Having said that, who in this world can guarantee happiness? Marriages do break up, right? Who can tell the what the future will bring. We have only 1 life to live, so live it like there is no tomorrow.Go with your gut feel and do what you want to do. Afterall, life being so intangible, its better to be happy now and worry later. Take each day as it comes, for we know not what the future holds. We can only plan, we cant anticipate. Communication does not necessary have to come in the form of same language, its the gesture/thoughts/action that speaks louder than words.
When my husband and I were dating, after a few years we were sure we wanted to get married. My parents never supported our relationship because of different culture/ethnicity/country (but at least not religion) and thought he was after a green card. They also wouldn't believe he was our religion.
When he asked them for permission to marry me, my dad just stared at him and didn't say anything. After 10 min of silence, my SO left. It took 5 months for my dad to give him an answer. In the meantime, my parents kept asking me if I wanted them to say no. They even wrote me a long letter detailing all their objections to the wedding. It took a lot of patience and biting my tongue in efforts not to scream.
Bottom line, is that I was sure I was in love with him, that he had all the qualities I was looking for, and that this was a relationship that I wanted permanently. If my parents had said no, I would have told them I was sorry they couldn't support us, but we would then have to elope.
Three years later, they were finally completely okay with us being married, and now they like him. For some of my friends who encountered the same thing, it sometimes took years for their parents to acknowledge the presence of their SO, and then years more to start talking to them. So I feel like I'm at least ahead in that regard.
Bottom line - know yourself, know your partner. Parents, as well meaning as they are, don't always know what's best for you, even when they think they do. They love you unconditionally, but they aren't perfect people. When you have to make a decision, know what will break your heart more and what will be a deeper regret. Be wise, but also follow your heart.

Would you say the majority of people in India have an arranged marriage?
And if anyone knows some figures that would be good also.Would you say the majority of people in India have an arranged marriage?
well yes i would say that the majority of people in india have a arrange marriage.even if they find good figures then also they are not able to marry that person because their parents are a little aristocratic,they don't like their child to choose a wrong partner for life.so take they like to prefer an arrange marriage for their child.but its not always that its only a arrange marriage nowadays the number of love marriages are increasing because parents are becoming sensible to the feelings of their child.i am an indian but i would like to have an love marriage with whom i love.....Would you say the majority of people in India have an arranged marriage?
These days its about 50-50. Even arranged marriages are not forced. the way they work is that family finds a suitable mate, the girl and guy talk and see if they like each other, if not move on to the next one until you find the ones you like. I cousin saw 50 girls before he got married, his parents were tired of finding girls for him.
P.S. no 90% of population in India does not live in rural areas, maybe 30%.
Yes, but figure is difficult to tell as there is no organisation which records each %26amp; every case. I believe more than two third people follow systematic procedures of arranged marriage system %26amp; boys %26amp; girls are allowed to see the fiancees %26amp; discuss too about future life for each other's satisfaction before saying final 'yes' or 'no'.
yes, i would say so, it is about 90% as most indian population lives in villages and it is villages that carry on with culture of arranged marriages.
Dunnoo.. im indian.. not born there but im not getting an arranged marriage.
i think the society has moved on there and now some people can marry who they wish as long as their parents approve of the person and their family.
maybe so. That's kinda their ';thing'; over their, so probably majority does it..
yes. In India more than 75% of marriages are arranged by their relatives and friends.
yeah
even if most people arent religious, they're parents r still old0 fashioned and stict most of the time
glad to help!

Have no ideal about that

Is it mandatory that the 2 of the witnesses have to be parents of either bride or groom when register marriage?
If parents are not agreed to the marriage...then can the witnesses be any body who is a friend but no direct blood relation?Is it mandatory that the 2 of the witnesses have to be parents of either bride or groom when register marriage?
i live in NJ... here ... if you are 16 or younger, your parents or legal guardians must sign your marriage license.
if you are old enough...anyone can be your witness. if you read the fine print next to the witness signature.. all it says is something along the lines of ';i know these two people who wish to marry and testify that they are not related and know that neither of them are illegal aliens.';
call the county you live in. you will have to anyway to obtain the forms. or you can google it. anyway...once you have the application..just make sure to read all the fine print (there isn't a lot).. and this way you will know you are doing the right thing.
when in doubt....JUST ASK!!!!! it's the only way to find out!!
good luck!
all the best :)Is it mandatory that the 2 of the witnesses have to be parents of either bride or groom when register marriage?
In the US or Canada or the UK or most places in Europe, the witnesses must be of legal age. They can be anyone , even the clerk at the courthouse or the taxi driver. As long as both the bride and groom are of legal age in the state or province where they are being married! If you are MINORS, then, yes, your parents have to approve and sign!! If you are both adults, then once the marriage officiant confirms your identity and licence and proof of age, so long as someone signs as witness that the marriage took place, that's all that is needed. HOWEVER -- by your name I am wondering if you are enquiring more about marriages within your religious community and you want a religious ceremony. (Hindu? Sikh?) In that case, there might be restrictions that you will have to call to enquire about from a mosque.
You have to have your parents there if you are underage so they can agree to the marriage but if you are over the age of 18 then your fine , sometimes a lot of places give a witness that's what happened to me and my Husband.
Not all states require a witness and no where does it say the witnesses have to be parents or even related to either of you. They can be someone you pulled off the street if you wanted.
no! where do these ideas come from? as long as you are of legal age to marry your parents have nothing to do with it. you can grab two strangers off the street to be witnesses if you wanted to.
Not in the United States. But it might be different for different countries. In the US, a witness can be anyone who was present at the time the wedding took place.
No. What if the parents are dead of 5 states away? It can be anyone who is a friend.
No, witnesses do not need to be parents.

Is a Muslim marriage valid if no marriage certificate was issued?
My daughter married an Egyptian, he wants to move to Egypt to live soon, as he says that he would not be allowed to live in Britain permanently. If he has an English wife, does that no entitle him to apply for permanent residency in the uk? We are worried about her moving to Egypt as the life style is so different, she does not really want to go, since meeting him she has converted to a Muslim, which I do not think she really likes, and he makes her wear hijabs and cover up completely.Is a Muslim marriage valid if no marriage certificate was issued?
A verbal marriage infront of two or more witnesses is valid per religion %26amp; society in Egypt but in the eyes of law NO its not.
Your daughter will need valid marriage certificate attested by local authorities as well as certified by British Embassy in Egypt to have her husband spousal visa stamped on his passport.
Good luck.Is a Muslim marriage valid if no marriage certificate was issued?
ur daughter is ok, islam is the solution .i am a muslim egyptian how was married one year to an american women but she didnot wear higab i did not inforce her ! we all free of wiiling and plz dont listen to any racist comments .
From the sound of it it's a valid marriage under Sharia law but not a valid marriage under British law. Was some kind of paper signed by both parties? It's not legally valid if not.
And I warn you that Muslim men who marry a non-Muslim woman and are so eager to return to their home country are often authoritarian and abusive, and you might never see your daughter again if she goes.
Your daughter's husband is certainly a good candidate for that kind of personality if he's already had her convert to Islam and ';makes'; her cover up. To cover up for religious reasons is normally (and ideally) done by Muslim women out of religious conviction, not under obligation from their husbands... Of course that rarely happens in the real world but that your daughter's husband is already making her cover up is a tell-tale sign of bad things to come.
This sounds like on the grounds of forced marrige. Are you allowed contact with her. If so be coi and have them over for dinner and talk to her secretly and ask if she has been forced or abused or anything illegal. If so call the athorities or have a relative call out of the way of the husband. If you feel anything isnt going right then call the authorities. Without a certificate it isnt valid so she has a right to not go.
What are you talking about?
Why in the hell would an english woman marry someone whom she does not like...converting to islam...which 'you' do not 'think she likes....its all in your head.' There is no such thing as a MUSLIM MARRIAGE! All marriages are marriages...and a marriage certificate has to be issued. Smart ***.
Ingham: If the American government and Israel would stop putting their noses in everyones ***, mainly muslims, they would be able to provide to have a normal way of life. Are you aware that UAE is a muslim country? How many americans and british people live there? How well they are treated and how well they get paid? How much they are respected? How successful that country is? Guess not.
Having an Islamic community in the UK is a disaster and this is simply one more reason. It seems sad to me that Islam has failed to provide a decent way of life for it's people, then millions come to the UK to take advantage of what we have built. I believe this is a fair point, other groups moving into the now UK in the past were small numbers of successful European people An overcrowded island does not need millions from failed far distant countries.
if he is making her cover up in the UK and she doesn't like it i can only assume that things will be even worse when he gets her back to egypt
it is a pity women don't see more of the consequences of marrying men from vastly different societies - if she was my daughter i would not want her to go with him
I would worry.
The movie, based on a true story, Not Without My Daughter who gets involved with a muslim man, they move back to his country, and she looses all her rights, and her husband holds their child hostage to keep her, very scary.
HE MAKES HER? There is no compulsion in Islam - from what the Muslims say. . .if she wears hijab - it should be by her will, to please Allah.
I'm not Muslim. . .so, I tried.
A verbal marriage is not worth the paper it is written on.
You are asking two questions at the same time!
His entitlement to live permanently in UK?
He will be entitled to apply for permanent visa ';only'; if he is legally married to your daughter according to UK laws. This means that he had a properly conducted marriage in an approved building and then got an official marriage certificate from the registrar. Unless the marriage was formally registered, he is not legally married and can not apply for a settlement visa as a spouse of a UK national. As there is a large Muslim community in UK, so even many mosques are now approved to cunduct such ceremonies and civil marriage certificates are also issued.
Your second question is validity of Muslim marriage.
This is a separate issue. A purely ';Muslim'; marriage, also called ';Nikah'; is a private affair. It is a simple agreement between man and woman in front of two witnesses. No written certificate is necessary. As per Islamic rules, after such ';Nikah'; they are husband and wife. However, this is not a legal marriage in UK and will remain a private affair between them until and unless such religious marriage is followed by a duly registered civil marriage for which a proper certificate is issued. If this ';muslim'; marriage also has no written proof at all, then how is he going to prove it even in Egypt?
As for your concern that she converted to a Muslim but really doesn't like it !!
It is entirely her own decision to convert. If she did so, just to please him and for the sake of marriage, then surely it has no meaning. She has to have faith in this also. If he forces her to wear hijab (against her will) then surely it is wrong and this means she will have more problems when she moves to another country.
Wearing Hijab and covering completely is a cultural thing ! nothing to do with Islam, and a misconception amongst many Muslim communities. You can at least advise her to study the religion herself, and not to ask him! This way she will know what to accept and what not to!
Hope this helps.
Good luck!

If you are both adults, then once the marriage officiant confirms your identity and licence and proof of age, so long as someone signs as witness that the marriage took place, that's all that is needed. HOWEVER -- by your name I am wondering if you are enquiring more about marriages within your religious community and you want a religious ceremony. (Hindu? Sikh?) In that case, there might be restrictions that you will have to call to enquire about from a mosque.
You have to have your parents there if you are underage so they can agree to the marriage but if you are over the age of 18 then your fine , sometimes a lot of places give a witness that's what happened to me and my Husband.
Not all states require a witness and no where does it say the witnesses have to be parents or even related to either of you. They can be someone you pulled off the street if you wanted.
no! where do these ideas come from? as long as you are of legal age to marry your parents have nothing to do with it. you can grab two strangers off the street to be witnesses if you wanted to.
Not in the United States. But it might be different for different countries. In the US, a witness can be anyone who was present at the time the wedding took place.
No. What if the parents are dead of 5 states away? It can be anyone who is a friend.
No, witnesses do not need to be parents.
it doesn't matter who the witnesses are. How do you think people elope?
It does not have to be the parents.
no
they can be anybody,
Nope
I GOT MARRIED AND IT WAS JUST ME MY EX HUBBY AND THE JOP
Is a Muslim marriage valid if no marriage certificate was issued?
My daughter married an Egyptian, he wants to move to Egypt to live soon, as he says that he would not be allowed to live in Britain permanently. If he has an English wife, does that no entitle him to apply for permanent residency in the uk? We are worried about her moving to Egypt as the life style is so different, she does not really want to go, since meeting him she has converted to a Muslim, which I do not think she really likes, and he makes her wear hijabs and cover up completely.Is a Muslim marriage valid if no marriage certificate was issued?
A verbal marriage infront of two or more witnesses is valid per religion %26amp; society in Egypt but in the eyes of law NO its not.
Your daughter will need valid marriage certificate attested by local authorities as well as certified by British Embassy in Egypt to have her husband spousal visa stamped on his passport.
Good luck.Is a Muslim marriage valid if no marriage certificate was issued?
ur daughter is ok, islam is the solution .i am a muslim egyptian how was married one year to an american women but she didnot wear higab i did not inforce her ! we all free of wiiling and plz dont listen to any racist comments .
From the sound of it it's a valid marriage under Sharia law but not a valid marriage under British law. Was some kind of paper signed by both parties? It's not legally valid if not.
And I warn you that Muslim men who marry a non-Muslim woman and are so eager to return to their home country are often authoritarian and abusive, and you might never see your daughter again if she goes.
Your daughter's husband is certainly a good candidate for that kind of personality if he's already had her convert to Islam and ';makes'; her cover up. To cover up for religious reasons is normally (and ideally) done by Muslim women out of religious conviction, not under obligation from their husbands... Of course that rarely happens in the real world but that your daughter's husband is already making her cover up is a tell-tale sign of bad things to come.
This sounds like on the grounds of forced marrige. Are you allowed contact with her. If so be coi and have them over for dinner and talk to her secretly and ask if she has been forced or abused or anything illegal. If so call the athorities or have a relative call out of the way of the husband. If you feel anything isnt going right then call the authorities. Without a certificate it isnt valid so she has a right to not go.
What are you talking about?
Why in the hell would an english woman marry someone whom she does not like...converting to islam...which 'you' do not 'think she likes....its all in your head.' There is no such thing as a MUSLIM MARRIAGE! All marriages are marriages...and a marriage certificate has to be issued. Smart ***.
Ingham: If the American government and Israel would stop putting their noses in everyones ***, mainly muslims, they would be able to provide to have a normal way of life. Are you aware that UAE is a muslim country? How many americans and british people live there? How well they are treated and how well they get paid? How much they are respected? How successful that country is? Guess not.
Having an Islamic community in the UK is a disaster and this is simply one more reason. It seems sad to me that Islam has failed to provide a decent way of life for it's people, then millions come to the UK to take advantage of what we have built. I believe this is a fair point, other groups moving into the now UK in the past were small numbers of successful European people An overcrowded island does not need millions from failed far distant countries.
if he is making her cover up in the UK and she doesn't like it i can only assume that things will be even worse when he gets her back to egypt
it is a pity women don't see more of the consequences of marrying men from vastly different societies - if she was my daughter i would not want her to go with him
I would worry.
The movie, based on a true story, Not Without My Daughter who gets involved with a muslim man, they move back to his country, and she looses all her rights, and her husband holds their child hostage to keep her, very scary.
HE MAKES HER? There is no compulsion in Islam - from what the Muslims say. . .if she wears hijab - it should be by her will, to please Allah.
I'm not Muslim. . .so, I tried.
A verbal marriage is not worth the paper it is written on.
You are asking two questions at the same time!
His entitlement to live permanently in UK?
He will be entitled to apply for permanent visa ';only'; if he is legally married to your daughter according to UK laws. This means that he had a properly conducted marriage in an approved building and then got an official marriage certificate from the registrar. Unless the marriage was formally registered, he is not legally married and can not apply for a settlement visa as a spouse of a UK national. As there is a large Muslim community in UK, so even many mosques are now approved to cunduct such ceremonies and civil marriage certificates are also issued.
Your second question is validity of Muslim marriage.
This is a separate issue. A purely ';Muslim'; marriage, also called ';Nikah'; is a private affair. It is a simple agreement between man and woman in front of two witnesses. No written certificate is necessary. As per Islamic rules, after such ';Nikah'; they are husband and wife. However, this is not a legal marriage in UK and will remain a private affair between them until and unless such religious marriage is followed by a duly registered civil marriage for which a proper certificate is issued. If this ';muslim'; marriage also has no written proof at all, then how is he going to prove it even in Egypt?
As for your concern that she converted to a Muslim but really doesn't like it !!
It is entirely her own decision to convert. If she did so, just to please him and for the sake of marriage, then surely it has no meaning. She has to have faith in this also. If he forces her to wear hijab (against her will) then surely it is wrong and this means she will have more problems when she moves to another country.
Wearing Hijab and covering completely is a cultural thing ! nothing to do with Islam, and a misconception amongst many Muslim communities. You can at least advise her to study the religion herself, and not to ask him! This way she will know what to accept and what not to!
Hope this helps.
Good luck!

Does anyone else feel old enough for a baby but not for marriage?
I dont know why i dont feel ready for marriage because its not that important to me at the end of the day its not going to change anything between me and my partner...
Anyone else feel the same?Does anyone else feel old enough for a baby but not for marriage?
If it's not going to change anything, then why are you not ready for it?Does anyone else feel old enough for a baby but not for marriage?
Marriage may not change anything between you and your partner but a baby should. If you see qualities in this person and you want to have a child with him then I say go for it but i don't totally understand why you wouldn't want to get married to him because he is going to be in your life forever because of the child.
Good luck in whatever you decide to do but realize it is not whether or not you are old enough but mature enough and fincaiallystable enough to support a child.
It is okay to not be ready for marriage just yet, but by all means, do not do something as immature as have a baby when marriage is out of the question. Because believe me babies are as much of a commitment as marriage is. To me, if you are not ready for one then you are not ready for the other either.
What does age have to do with it? If you honestly believe you are not mature enough to handle marriage, then you are absolutely not ready to have a child.
However, there's nothing wrong with having a child outside of marriage if you and your partner are mature enough to deal with the consequences.
Plenty of people have kids before weddings these days. As long as you and your partner are on the same page there is no reason not to. I actually know a few people who have done it, with and without partners, and they are quite happy.
Yet another stupid, silly retard girl getting ready to F**k up her whole life, and the life of an innocent baby as well.
Good job, MORON.
I think you have your priorities backward- married first then think about kids.
NO - NO and NO.
don't have a baby till you have time for a family...

So if the swine flu is god punishing us for allowing gay marriage, then why did it come from Mexico?
So why would god have an outbreak start in Mexico, if Iowa allows gay marriage? I mean that's waaaay off target. That's almost like the US attacking Iraq when Afgani Terrorists attack the World Trade Cent.......oh wait. Huh. So god has the same intelligence agency as the Bush administration? Crap, that does sound like the end of the world.
Science Bless.So if the swine flu is god punishing us for allowing gay marriage, then why did it come from Mexico?
No, it's to punish moronic rednecksSo if the swine flu is god punishing us for allowing gay marriage, then why did it come from Mexico?
I don't believe God is punishing us with disasters etc. I know His and therefore my enemy, Satan does. God, however allows it, why? Because we live in a fallen world ie: Adam and Eve.
Our way of living without God can bring on, or open the door to all types of disasters, both personally and throughout the world. We, here in America, have basically said, God, we don't want or need you in our lives, so go away. We don't believe in you, so therefore you are not real to me.
With this type of mentality, what do you expect? God will only protect, so to speak, those who belong to Him, while always coaxing others to come to Him for refuge.
He is so much more than our pea sized, limited in intelligence brains can comprehend. When is the last time we created a universe?
Because everyone in Mexico is gay.
Homosexuality... it's a pandemic!
Karma happens!!
Who was the douche that came up with THAT idea? That's totally idiotic.
wtf where did that idea come from?!

Can I still get a marriage license in Makati if I can't get parental advice?
It's one of the requirements for a marriage license to obtain parental advice from parents if the bride and groom and between 21 to 25 years of age. However, is it possible to still get a license if I don't get parental advice?Can I still get a marriage license in Makati if I can't get parental advice?
21 - 25 years of age?!
Where are you, the STONE AGE?!
That's still pretty young for marriage, but I think you should be considered adults!
Here in America, you can get married at 18!
If you want to make an adult decision and are sure of it, I support you and think you should try to go ahead and get your license wherever you're living. If you have a close relationship with your parents, I would advise you talk to them and tell them your plans. Good luck! :)

How do you feel about the arguement comparing gay marriage to incestuous marriage
Now from this arguement I've heard many times, it used to be common for first cousins to get married and have kids. Brothers and sisters even did it. Well if 2 men can marry eachother, why not a man and his cousin who he's in love with? I'm not going to give my side to this because I don't want to start a debate but I would really like to hear what you all have to say. How do you feel about the arguement comparing gay marriage to incestuous marriage
People base their beliefs on allowing gay marriage simply that these people love one another and they should be allowed to marry. Using that argument is where the incestuous marriage comes into play.
If marriage is being allowed simply because 2 people love one another and should not be discriminated against, then why deny incestuous marriage? Those who claim that it鈥檚 different are doing so to avoid hypocrisy.
Edit:
There was in fact a study showing that 1st cousin marriages do not generally lead to genetic disease. The study performed by the National Society of Genetic Counselors found that it only increased the chance for birth defects from 4% to 7%.
So the genetic argument is moot.How do you feel about the arguement comparing gay marriage to incestuous marriage
Actually, marrying cousins IS allowed in many countries and states. Marrying DESCENDANTS is not -- so you can't marry your uncle, but you can marry your cousin - different genetic pool. Brothers and sisters or Brothers and Brothers is illegal everywhere (you might be thinking of ancient egypt).
Unless you are thinking of same sex marriage among cousins, or two same sex siblings getting married, there is nothing in common with these two situations.
Same sex marriage is just -- same sex marriage. Perfectly normal in a lot of countries, including Canada. Marrying your sister -- not normal, in Canada or anywhere else.
ummm, well, normally you don't want interbreeding bc it will produce children with abnormalities. birth defects, lower iq, so there is an actual physical reason that families shouldn't mix genes.
as far as gay people, i just don't get the connection you are going for. there is no negative consequence for two people who are not related to get married. plus, if they are men, they would be looking to adopt, no issues with that. same with women, no interbreeding.
it's like dogs - i know this is a bad comparison, but if you breed the same lines too much you end up with health problems that are spread down the line. no such issue with gay marriage.
gay marriage and marrying someone in your family are just not the same thing at all.
Well for starters two men can't biologically reproduce, neither can two women. The problem with incestuous relationships is that if you have enough inbreeding you create all kinds of biological problems. The argument comparing gay marriage to an incestuous marriage is not even remotely valid.
MAJOR Genetic defects which is a non issue with gay marriage. Also I have heard why not pedophiles or animals and my response to that is gay marriage will be between two consenting adults. I won't say which side I am either but those are the flaws in your thinking
I don't think the government should be able to tell a person who they can and cannot love.
However,
They do have some of these laws in place so we don't have babies out there with 3 arms and half a brain.
Gay marriage and Incestuous marriage are different entirely. I always say live and let live. What other people do in their relationships does not have any influence over my own life.
You're missing the main point here.
Its all marriage that is wrong ....thats right any kind of marriage ANY.

What are the benefits of marriage in modern society?
I don't mean to sound negative. But since divorce rate is so high, and people cheat on each other on daily basis. (Men normally have to pay through their nose if they get a nasty divorce, not to mention child support, etc) What are the real benefits to get married nowadays?What are the benefits of marriage in modern society?
Divorce rates are really no higher now than they were thirty years ago. That's a ';modern society'; myth! That said, take marriage out of the equation, and guess what? People will still cheat on one another, and men will still have to pay child support. Not being married still makes you responsible for children and infidelity. So that makes no difference whatsoever.
So what IS the benefit of marriage, then? For one thing, it is a public commitment, without which, you can never be sure (legally) if your signficant other is going to bail on you. It is legal protection, and emotional commitment from your partner. There is nothing wrong with that, high divorce rates or not. Frankly, I don't think there is anything wrong with high divorce rates. Sometimes marriages work out. Sometimes they do not. It is no different than with other relationships. But if you commit yourself to a person for a significant amount of years, don't you want to be protected if they DO cheat or bail out on you? That is the benefit of marriage in a modern society.
And don't forget, for every marriage that ends in divorce, another one succeeds. The divorce rate is around 50%. That was true 30 years ago. It's still true today. For those that are in the right 50%, it has been proven that people in a healthy marriage live longer, have less stress, and do better financially. That's quite a big benefit.
As far as child support is concerned, it's a must. If you have a baby, you are responsible for that baby. It doesn't matter if you are married or not. The child needs to be cared for. That is the purpose of child support. If a guy doesn't want to take care of a baby, then he should keep ';it'; in his pants.What are the benefits of marriage in modern society?
I work with teens every day. When a kids parents are married and stable, they really tend to do much better. Their confidence is greater, they open up more and take more chances. When they come from a more unstable situation, like divorce or a blended family, they tend to withdraw and just do the minimum they need to do to stay out of trouble. Kids are very highly sensitive to the level at which their parents have structured a family life, and when their parents lose faith, so do they.
So, my answer is, it helps to create stability for the next generation. That some people mess this up shouldn't cause those of us who believe in strong families to give up.
-Sex on a regular basis
-Having a partner
-Sharing goals
-Creating children
-2 incomes
-Often better standard of living
Are you talking about marriage or business?
Tax breaks I guess?

As far as child support is concerned, it's a must. If you have a baby, you are responsible for that baby. It doesn't matter if you are married or not. The child needs to be cared for. That is the purpose of child support. If a guy doesn't want to take care of a baby, then he should keep ';it'; in his pants.What are the benefits of marriage in modern society?
I work with teens every day. When a kids parents are married and stable, they really tend to do much better. Their confidence is greater, they open up more and take more chances. When they come from a more unstable situation, like divorce or a blended family, they tend to withdraw and just do the minimum they need to do to stay out of trouble. Kids are very highly sensitive to the level at which their parents have structured a family life, and when their parents lose faith, so do they.
So, my answer is, it helps to create stability for the next generation. That some people mess this up shouldn't cause those of us who believe in strong families to give up.
-Sex on a regular basis
-Having a partner
-Sharing goals
-Creating children
-2 incomes
-Often better standard of living
Are you talking about marriage or business?
Tax breaks I guess?

Is it ok to fake marriage to get someone in bed?
She doesn't want to do it before getting married so would this be ok to do?Is it ok to fake marriage to get someone in bed?
i dont find anything wrong with that if she gives you a hard time just handcuff her and tie her downIs it ok to fake marriage to get someone in bed?
No. That's deceitful and would totally ruin someone's self esteem, not to mention their trust in you. If the person you're talking about doesn't want to have sex with you until they're married, you're either going to need to wait, or find someone who will sleep with you without getting married. You shouldn't trick someone into sleeping with you no matter the circumstance.
Yes,
don't ask why,
hump it,
and get out,
and ur set,
just divorce,
u might lose half ur stuff,
idk,
im not a lawyer,
go for it.
!
Why would you break a womans heart? Dont do it my friend. Be a gentleman.
There are plenty of other fish in the sea that dont really want to be engaged but they want to have a good time. Try that instead.
Completely alright.
that's the main purpose of marriages these days..go for it :D
they fake orgasms so.....
um, absolutely not.
if you really care about her, you'll wait.
go for it bro
Those who ruin a system ruin them self.
Thats a bit extreme, isn't it? Just lace all her food with alcohol and get her drunk.
:)
reminds me of that episode of Fresh Prince where Will marries that chick to get her in the sack.
Sure is, buddy.
awe, don't do that
lol
isnt that just abit TOO much to go through?
She'd have to be like amazzzinnnggg or something

Why does Israel forbid the marriage between a Jew and an Arab?
Before 1947 it was not considered wrong for these mixed marriages and even helped with Israeli and Palestinians relations. Why do Israel do this now.? Just what are they afraid of ? Is there any other country in the world that forbids a marriage between 2 different faiths.?Why does Israel forbid the marriage between a Jew and an Arab?
Why does Israel forbid the marriage between a Jew and an Arab? This law makes sense in that it prevents any blurring of the line between friend (Jew) and enemy ( Arab). It also shows the world that Israel is a racist state.
Is there any other country in the world that forbids a marriage between 2 different faiths.? In 1933 in Nazi Germany, a law was enacted that banned marriage between Germans and Jews. This is a direct Parallel with Israel.Why does Israel forbid the marriage between a Jew and an Arab?
Oh lookee- the anti-Semite chose an anti-semitic answer. Handsup anybody that is surprised! LOL
Because all marriages in Israel are religious, not civil, and must be Orthodox. Does that make it simple for you? Oh, and by the way:
Most Muslims in Israel are Sunni Arabs.
In 1922, the British created the Supreme Muslim Council as the Muslim religious authority in the British Mandate of Palestine and appointed Amin al-Husayni (1895-1974) as the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. The council was abolished in 1948 by Jordan, but was reconstituted in Jerusalem after the Six-Day War in 1967.
As the law of the land in relation to marriages has formally remained the Islamic law prior to the establishment of the State of Israel, it was not necessary for the Muslim community to formally ';accept'; these arrangements.
Muslim marriages are conducted in accordance with Islamic law and customs, and inter-community marriages are not permitted.
So much for the liberality of your beloved ';Palestinians';.
I completely agree with you in regards to Israel. Thanks for bringing this up because I hadn't known of this before your question
Actually, I visited Malaysia last year for a friend's marriage
The Groom is Muslim and the Bride was Christian.
Under Malaysian Law a Christian (woman- not sure if it applies to men)can not marry a Muslim unless she converts first.
This is actually contrary to Islamic law because under Islamic law a Muslim male can marry any person ';of the Book';, meaning he can marry a Christian or a Jew and the woman doesn't have to convert at all. She can remain a Christian or a Jew.
So actually, the Israelis forbidding the 2 faiths to marry is even worse than that.
If it was legal in Israel for 2 faiths to marry than Arab and Jewish blood would mix.
To me it suggests that they want to keep Israel as non-arab as possible.
I think if it was legal, you would see some Jews and Muslims marry each other.
My cousin who is Muslim actually married a New York Jewish lady (very lovely woman).
This just another example of Israel's brutal and Im afraid to say this but racist treatment of Palestinians
You're doing this strange thing of mixing up ethnicity and religion. Are you doing that intentionally or do you just not understand the difference?
Israel doesn't have civil marriage, only religious. All marriage and divorce is governed by the religious courts of the respective groups (15 altogether). The positive side is that legislation passed by Jews (or anyone else) couldn't inadvertently interfere with the way other religious groups want to hold their marriages. The downside is that there is no provision for people who aren't one of the recognized religious groups. This is more of a problem for non-Orthodox Jews than it is for Muslims or Christians, btw, which shows your question as the inflammatory straw man it is.
Most countries base their marriage law on the beliefs of their dominant religious group; all other religions have to work with that. Israel made an attempt to let the groups decide for themselves. The system is flawed, but at least give them credit for the attempt.
You are wrong- an Arab Jew and an Israeli Jew can get married and everyone will bless the union.
What is not recognised in Israel uis any marriage between a Jew and person fo a different religion- regardless of the persons ethnicity or religion. Its universal- marriage between peopel fo different religions re not recognised in Israle irrespective of ethnic or religious lines
Do try to get your facts straight instead fo trying to promulgate hate!
It doesn't.
No person can be prosecuted for getting married to a person of another religion in Israel.
Israel recognizes all religious marriages performed in Israel (these do not include mixed marriages), and all marriages performed outside Israel in countries that recognize them (these include mixed marriages and same-sex marriages).
Israel does not forbid the marriage between a Jew and an Arab !.
(An Arab can be of any religion, a Jew is one who abides by the laws of the Torah.)
Marriage between a Jew and a none Jew is not considered against the law BUT in Israel there are no civil marriages, so a Jew wanting to marry a none Jew Arab would more than likely get married in Cypress..
It's not a tradition Michael. It's a law that they have had for thousands of years.
It came about by God's decree when they entered the promised land and it will continue to be so until the second coming of the Christ. ( A Jewish Rabbi while He was with us I might add)
The reasoning is simple, and straightforward. When the Hebrews were given the land by God He told them not to intermarry for the good reason of ';influence';.
A man with a woman who worshipped Astarte'. Or a woman with a man who worshipped Baal? That's an influence that would take them away from God. That is not what God wants for us. He wants us to succeed and the ultimate success is living with God Himself in His Kingdom.
When He said He is a jealous God He was telling us that He does not want some fool idol rock, or mute wood piece, or a deaf stone, to steal us away from Him as it would ultimately lead to our death.
He wants us to live.
He wants us to live for Him and then for everyone else but the evil we have to live in..... that would be the false gods of mythical proportions regardless of what civilization we find the false idols. The evil we live in should be rebuffed and we should protect ourselves from the false idols. Regardless of what false idol we worship be it gold, sex, or power.
So to protect their heritage and to protect them He let them know that married into an alien family is a no no. However; should the man or the woman of desire becomes a Jew? Well then there is no counter productive influence on the marraige and God now is there?
So should an ';Arab'; take to the Jewish religion to marry it would not be wrong.
As for the Muslim laws on marraige. You haven't read the fine print of Sharia law now have you? Because quite frankly they kill women in the mid east almost on a daily basis for their own honour. A woman married to an infidel would be a horrifying disgrace and murder for their own honour is usually the antidote to their disgrace. An infidel is anyone who is not a Muslim and for a Muslim to change his/her religion is an apostasy that garners a death warrant on them.
Don't tell me that doesn't happen, don't refute that with requests for sources because you won't take the time to research it yourself.
It happens regularly; I read about it here in Canada, and in the United States in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, in Jordan and in Egypt as well as Syria and the other Islamic states.
It's damn near common knowledge these days.
I'm sure there are a lot of Muslim men who refuse to let their daughters marry non-Muslim men. Jews aren't the only ones who can be racist or intolerant of other religions.
Can you please give us a link that explains this? I would like to see something official that states the israeli government doesn't allow Jews to marry Arabs. Some answers below say this is not true.
its cuz of the formation of the state of israel, after that people from the two countries got into a war for terriory and they have been hating eachother since that. before that they were happy living tho :)
It depends on the Rabbis-Orthodox Jews strictly prohibit it.Steve Jobs co-founder of Apple computer is half Arab/half Jewish-obviously, there was a connection made.
This Jewish dude I know married an Arab girl a year ago - didn't have any problems. Your sources please?
If you really want to find out about this question, in yahoo answers there is a section on religion go there and post your question. a jewish person will answer the question.
Because someone will probably start a pie fight at the reception
The same reason the Indians forbid marriage of Indians and Pakistanis. The same reason European countries forbid marriage with muslim immigrants.

How do you make a marriage work?
especially if it's between a spoiled wife and a mama's boy husband?How do you make a marriage work?
Are you sure you're not my neighbor? =)
I'm a bit of a mama's boy (unico hijo kasi e) and wifey is kinda spoiled (family favorite sya e) and we seem to have nothing in common at all at first. The only thing we have in common, I think, is love. But one thing I learned, after all these years, is this: Give one another enough space to breathe. Sometimes too much love is ';nakakasakal'; and the house becomes too small for the two of you. It's hard to explain and to believe because there will be so many instances and situations that you will need to set your partner free for a while to save the marriage and the family.How do you make a marriage work?
Thanks for believing, BL... and for the BA, too... =)
To make a marriage work,both husband and wife need to be open with one another and communicate with each other. As for a spoiled wife,she needs to learn that it is not just about her now,she needs to learn that she cannot get what she wants when she wants. As for a mama's boy,he needs to realize that he cannot run to his mother all the time when a problem arises. Both need to lay ground rules and work things out together.
Most importantly, its takes 2 to make it right. In the case of mama's boy husband and spoiled wife, these 2 persons need real counseling to enlighten their perception of what marriage is.
I know a young couple with 4 kids who don't know what the hell their doing. They don't want to listen to anyone.
COMPROMISE.
if you can't do that, DO NOT marry.
a spoiled wife and a mama's boy are two potent ingredients of a disaster-marriage.
Getting married for ';good'; reasons helps.
obey what your spouse want you to do.
Which one of you wrote? Doesn't sound like a sincere question.
Make sure you live far away from either in-laws!
relocation helps a lot, stay from the in-laws as far as possible
take the couple to an island...make up advice

How is the US gay marriage lifestyle different from the UK?
In the UK the Civil Partnership grants you all the rights of being married - only exception is that you can't do it in a church.
In the US it gets more complicated since different states have different laws about 'gay marriage'. For instance California doesn't allow gay marriage but does allow 'Domestic Partnerships' which are similar to civil partnerships but, significantly, don't grant any federal level rights to the couples - and there are about 1200 of them including social security rights and federal tax rights.How is the US gay marriage lifestyle different from the UK?
I don't think there is much of a difference except for the fact that gay marriage is only legal in Connecticut and Massachusetts; however I have a feeling that soon civil unions will at least become legal or possibly even one day the actual marriage would be allowed.

What constitutes a Common Law Marriage in South Carolina?
Is there a way for a man and a woman who live together and don't wish to be considered married to avoid being classified as such in South Carolina?
Thank You!
What constitutes a Common Law Marriage in South Carolina?
The essential distinctions of a common law marriage are:
Common-law marriages are not licensed by government authorities, although they may be recorded in the public records of some governmental entities.
Common-law marriages are not solemnized.
Cohabitation alone does not create a common-law marriage; the couple must hold themselves out to the world as husband and wife; and
There must be mutual consent of the parties to the relationship constituting a marriage
Both parties must be of legal age to enter into a marriage or have parental consent to marry
In some jurisdictions, a couple must have cohabited and held themselves out to the world as husband and wife for a minimum length of time for the marriage to be recognised as valid.
There is no such thing as ';common-law divorce';. Once a marriage is validly contracted, whether according to statute or according to common law, the marriage can only be dissolved by a legal proceeding in the pertinent trial court (usually family court or probate court). In Texas a new provision was added to the Family Code; either partner in a common law marriage has two years after separation to file an action in order to prove that the common law marriage existed. To use the provision, you must have been separated after September 1, 1989.
A common law marriage is legally binding in some jurisdictions but has no meaning in others. In some jurisdictions without true common law marriages (e.g. Hungary), the term ';common law marriage'; is used as a synonym for non-marital relationships such as domestic partnership or reciprocal beneficiaries relationship (i.e. ';shacking up';).
I hope I answered your question. Good luck on finding your answer.
Oh, and you are welcome!What constitutes a Common Law Marriage in South Carolina?
If this really concerns you, it is better to talk to an attorney for an hour for 75 dollars or so, and get the right answer then live the rest of your life worried that you were wrong, causing all kinds of legal consequences that will shadow you your whole life.
edit - you are rich enough for a lawyer - look in your local yellow pages, you will find many that offer a free consultation, and many more that make a living answering questions like this one form people who think they can't afford it but can.
But if you'd rather live your life not sure if you are married or not, paying wrong taxes, not sure what your rights and obligations are in any state you go to, not sure if you can visit in the hospital, inherit or will property to each other, legal status of children, and so on, well go on and take your chances on advice from random people here.
both have separate bills-receipts to prove you both pay rent/payments/utilities
do not have shared checking/savings accounts
do not address yourself as husband and wife/correct anyone who address your as married
do not sign any documents saying your responsible for the others debt
do not have joint credit cards
do not say you live together say you live in same household
states vary on laws on time span when living together
In South Carolina, a common law marriage is established if a couple intends for others to believe they are married. Just make sure you do not refer to one another as husband and wife or do anything that would make people around believe you are married.
SC considers common law marriage when a couple lives together in the same residence for over 2 years.
I think each state is different in the amount of years you must be together. Not sure about SC but it's 8 years in my state.
Thank You!

Oh, and you are welcome!What constitutes a Common Law Marriage in South Carolina?
If this really concerns you, it is better to talk to an attorney for an hour for 75 dollars or so, and get the right answer then live the rest of your life worried that you were wrong, causing all kinds of legal consequences that will shadow you your whole life.
edit - you are rich enough for a lawyer - look in your local yellow pages, you will find many that offer a free consultation, and many more that make a living answering questions like this one form people who think they can't afford it but can.
But if you'd rather live your life not sure if you are married or not, paying wrong taxes, not sure what your rights and obligations are in any state you go to, not sure if you can visit in the hospital, inherit or will property to each other, legal status of children, and so on, well go on and take your chances on advice from random people here.
both have separate bills-receipts to prove you both pay rent/payments/utilities
do not have shared checking/savings accounts
do not address yourself as husband and wife/correct anyone who address your as married
do not sign any documents saying your responsible for the others debt
do not have joint credit cards
do not say you live together say you live in same household
states vary on laws on time span when living together
In South Carolina, a common law marriage is established if a couple intends for others to believe they are married. Just make sure you do not refer to one another as husband and wife or do anything that would make people around believe you are married.
SC considers common law marriage when a couple lives together in the same residence for over 2 years.
I think each state is different in the amount of years you must be together. Not sure about SC but it's 8 years in my state.
I am in a troubled marriage. I have almost given up my career trying to manage our two kids?
My inlaws are very traditional and interfering even if they don't live with us. My husband depends on them for a lot of decisions, which I feel, us as a husband and wife should make. I feel like starting over in life but because I have kids and am not working I feel trapped in this marriage.I am in a troubled marriage. I have almost given up my career trying to manage our two kids?
No wonder you feel trapped. You are married to your in laws! I do sense that there is a husband in here somewhere... maybe if he had a spine he would stand up and be a man about it. Marriage is sacred, at least, to some of us it is.
If you've tried setting your hubby straight on this and he refuses to change, it might well be time for you to end the 4 way marriage.I am in a troubled marriage. I have almost given up my career trying to manage our two kids?
Try if it can be worked out. Otherwise, get out and start all over again. Needs a lot of courage and resources.
Your Husband needs to wake up.and you are fortunate enough to live separate from them.
May i suggest that you start your campaign starting with your children and hubby as core, nuclear family?..
1).make sure your children are well dressed, and are present when ur hubby comes home from work?..and teach the kids to pamper him when he comes.
2) you too make an effort to look Smart, and have a smile on ur face,
and have food ready 4 all of u and sit to gather to eat.
3)try to make his fav food..
4)finally..how u please in bed only u know!
then you can gradually turn the screws and make him behave the way u want!..good luck!
Yes, you are trapped, and the only way out is independence!!! Make your own money and get a divorce so you can start over!!
Good luck!
Only you know in your heart if the situation will ever change. If you don't think it will then I think you have your answer. However, if you think it may and you're still in love don't give up. I would be saving money and learning a trade just in case doesn't work.
Jeena isi ka naam hai.
whether it be man or women, when u marry them, u marry the family. Try not to look at it as if they are a spoke in the wheel, but a way to take away some added stress regarding decisions. I'm sorry to say, ill try to be kind in saying so. because u do not bring home an income many husbands, wife's , and families would feel that the other half with no income should not be involved in making decisions bc there is no financial contributions to the house hold. those who make the money make the rules and decisions. people who contribute finance are taken more adult like than those who do not. so, try working and put ur cash towards the cost of living, couldn't hurt. you may get the respect you feel u r in-tittled to.
Don't take much tension every thing will get settle down with time. Always be positive.... I surely know you dislike your husband following whatever his parent's advice..... Its ok...be cool...you can at least tell him to involve you also while taking any major decision...and If any thing that you really feel wrong try to convince all three together so that they will start liking you...slowly you will find your husband relying in you for every decision...this all without hurting his parents... Nobody after marriage follow their parents for a long time. Believe me ....He will change. keep patience . Also take care of your kids they really need you. Find some time to read news papers and if you are having strong educational background sharpen your knowledge...When kids will grown up you can start working ... always keep your attitude positive ....All the best...
Why do you feel trapped ,develop friends and have a healthy life style .Friendship can take you out of this mess .Cheers Lethal
which is why you need to get away from family, so the couple has to be dependent on each other,,, i would guess that when you bring that up yo him he gets hot saying that he can rely on them for help cause he hasnt cut the apron strings yet, hope it works out but in the meantime take some kind of classes or traing to get you making money and you can be self relient, good luck,

Guys: what do you think of girls who are saving themselves for marriage?
and not for religious reasons, just for personal reasons?
what do you think?Guys: what do you think of girls who are saving themselves for marriage?
I'm not a guy but I there was a survey on this on my school retreat.
Most guys said that they would like to marry a virgin. They know that she waited for him.
However now? Some said that they wouldn't like the idea of waiting for marriage for sex.
Typical guy answer.Guys: what do you think of girls who are saving themselves for marriage?
Haha I love how it's all girls answering.
I'm a guy and I personally could care less if a girl is saving herself for marriage. I've had 2 girlfriends who were saving themselves and I respected their decision. There's lots of fun stuff you can do without having sex.
As long as the girl isn't a sl*t, whatever she wants is fine by me.
I do think though that most 16 year old guys wouldn't like a girl saving herself because that means no sex for a while (obviously). It helps if the guy has already had sex before too because then sex isn't nearly as important as it is when you're a virgin.
Edit: I don't like girls who are saving themselves for religous reasons at all. If it's their personal choice then it's all good.
I'm a girl, but w/e i'll answer anyways
I personally believe to wait until marriage. I think of it as getting your ex's name tattooed on your body. If you have sex, then breakup, it's gonna remind you. I'm waiting for both religous/personal reasons. And im only 13, so if u do it now, it makes you seem like a hohoho. But if Im with a guy, and think he's the one, I might test the waters. I mean, you get married and the guy cant dance for his life!!!!
im a girl and im gonna answer this.
i think everyone has the right to choose whatever they want to do but i would never really save myself for marriage.
i mean honestly its just sex, as long as you don't go whoring around at 15 then it's ok to have sex in a committed relationship.
would you really wanna wait until marriage to realize the sex sucks?
but i totally respect your decision and most (mature) guys would respect you for that
I completely agree with lalala.
I'm not saving myself for marrige, but for a committed relationship. Which will probally be in college. High school relationships aren't very committed most of the time.
its a bit odd.
(im a girl)
they might not like you as much and try to use you?
but i dont really know :P

When teaching a class about marriage and women, what points would you cover?
a. have 20 lovers first, then require commitment from you last lover
b. have a few one night stands while single so you can have fond memories
c. don't forget the friends with benefits
d. all of the aboveWhen teaching a class about marriage and women, what points would you cover?
I'd be sure to cover the importance of maintaining a sense of individuality and ones own pursuits, that ';emotional cheating'; is a myth and one can be friends with others of the opposite sex, that erotica and adult pornography are forms of art that can enhance marital relations in people who are secure with themselves, and that sometimes the best course of action in certain situations is separation or divorce in which the individuals can remain close friends.When teaching a class about marriage and women, what points would you cover?

Should Heterosexual partners be allowed to have a Civil Partnership instead of marriage?
A couple were interviewed on BBC Radio 4
A man and a woman want to have a civil partnership rather than
a marriage due to the Patriarchal nature of marriage, but
aren't allowed to.Should Heterosexual partners be allowed to have a Civil Partnership instead of marriage?
We have a type of civil partnerships here in Spain.
A formalisation of couple status with the appropriate tax benefits etc, but you麓re not actually married.
Bit pointless if you ask me.If you麓re gonna sign a load of papers you might as well have some kind of knees up.Should Heterosexual partners be allowed to have a Civil Partnership instead of marriage?
I get torn with questions like this..with regards the religious sanction of a marriage,a religious ceremony seeking God of the Bible's blessing, the Bible clearly states what is and isn't to be and I can't see that ever changing...however, I believe in equal rights for couples, any couples and so an alternative ceremony that affords the same rights would make sense and be fair as there are too many non religious folk who have the same ceremony and same rights. My pal married a muslim last year and chose a humanist ceremony, non religious to avoid conflict and it is a marriage in every way...it was one of the nicest weddings I have been to, but it wasn't a religious one....same sex couples need to remove the need for a religious blessing and law needs to change to recognise alternative weddings as equal to a church or religious one...the two will never marry so my view is why force the issue, there are loads of alternatives...the issue is equal rights.
Perhaps the whole notion of marriage needs reviewing, religious ones and non religious ones...it is a insult to be asking from religion the very thing it stands against.
Fair enough: equality for hetero and gay marriage rights. I'll take it seriously when there is actually gay marriage rights and not just the sham civil partnerships.
Mind you, I'm not big on the whole thing. I just like to see even handed and fair rights for all couples.
There are now laws for common law partners so I don't think a civil partnership is needed for heterosexual couples. I do think homosexual people should be able to get married properly though and that's where the issue should be!
I personally would not see the point in having a civil partnership
may as well be married, but if a couple choose to do that then yes I think they should have the right
x
People should be allowed the choice.
Yeah why not. Its all about equality innit.
person below me...there is and never has been any rights for 'common law' partnerships

How much does a marriage therapist make in west los angeles area or southern calif in general?
i've been reading they don't get paid much which is a concern cause when i graduate from MFT school i would like the cash to pay back my student loan.How much does a marriage therapist make in west los angeles area or southern calif in general?
I would think they'd make a lot -- considering californians go to therapy for everything from hangnails to figuring out why they suddenly hate their wardrobes... (i know i live in california).

If people want to protect the sanctity of marriage by banning gay marriage?
Why don't they try to ban divorce?
(I know there isn't really a point of posting here cause you all support gay marriage but I love you guys and want to know what you think :D)If people want to protect the sanctity of marriage by banning gay marriage?
Because people don't really want to protect the sanctity of marriage, they just want to prevent same-sex marriage. Homosexuality is still misunderstood by a lot of people and this causes fear and hatred. The push for equality must begin with education.If people want to protect the sanctity of marriage by banning gay marriage?
Protect what sanctity?
Marriage has not always been between a man and a woman, on the other hand Christian marriage always has been.
There are records around the world in several cultures that there were same sex unions/marriages that occurred.
in some native American tribes gay marriage and unions occurred
also in ancient Japan. Male Male love was considered the purest love.
Melanesia and in Papua New Guinea, before the introduction of Christianity homosexual relationships were the only recognized relationship
In ancient Rome gay marriage occurred. *during nero's time. ';The fact that marriage occurred between two men among the Romans is proved by a law in the Theodosian Code from the'; - the quoted is from wikipedia
in china and Greece it occurred mainly for guidance and was a temporary relationship usually.
Plus there is polygamy happing all over the world and in several Christian sects.
Edit: By saying that marriage is between a man and a woman would be imposing religious beliefs on individuals, so what happened to separation of church and state.
Exactly. They should make adultery illegal as well. I emailed Focus on the Family not long ago, and asked them to help me protect marriage by making divorce and adultery illegal. They never wrote back. Ha ha. I guess they don't care that much about the sanctity of marriage. They're a bunch of hypocrites.
Yeah.
And ban murderers, rapists, known child molestors, and MULTIPLE divorcees from marrying because right now they can under the condition they do it with a member of the opposite sex.
Ban interracial marriage because it used to be seen as ';unnatural';. Ban premarital sex because the bible says all sexual sins are equal and homosexuality is a sin so anyone who has sex before marriage is just as guilty as homosexuals.
I posed that argument long ago. No one appears to see reason though.
They hate homosexulity and are uncomfortable with same sex unions and they want them to suffer. All there is to it. There is NO valid reasons for banning same sex marriage: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;…
EDIT: ';Alex N'; - So if the issue of gay marriage is decided on that homosexuals cannot produce children and so they cannot get married, you are saying that the old, and sterile/infertile couples, or just if a straight couple decides to not have children, then they should not be married?
That does NOT make logical sense! And homosexuality has been proved to be natural by almost every major mental and medical health organization in the US, the American Psychological Association being 1 of about 16: http://www.apahelpcenter.org/articles/ar…
EDIT: ';sd619'; are you saying that if same sex marriage is legalized, then people will want to marry children? Aren't there laws against pedophlia that would have to be repealed if that were to happen? And don't you need to be of legal age to sign a marriage certificate anyway?
As for polygamy (marrying more than one person at a time) the bible condones it. So by saying, ';we have to keep marriage between a man and a woman because it's what God intended'; well the bible condones polygamy, so if it were to be made legal, then it would still be ';biblical';.
Like I said. NO logical arguments against gay marriage: http://www.bidstrup.com/marriage.htm
EDIT: Yes, ';Brandon C'; is right. Same sex marriage used to be legal in the churche's eyes: http://www.colfaxrecord.com/detail/91429…
The number one argument used against gay marriage is that children can't be conceived and that marriage is for having children.
So, what conservatives *really* should push for is a law that any marriage which does not produce children within three years is automatically dissolved and void.
OMG!!!! If I would have had to stay married to my ex-husband one more day, I'd have killed myself!
People change. He was not the man I met in the beginning. It's said that a person's ';representative'; leaves after 6 months, lol
Banning divorce would not work! We have a better chance of waiting for gay marriage to be accepted and acknowledged!
I can't wait until gay marriage passes! Then I will fight for my right to marry 7 wives, because that is my lifestyle choice. My buddy Dan, he wants to marry his daughter (she wants to marry him too) so they can finally get married! Pass it, please, because once they say one group can do it, we all can do it. Finally, a wife for every day of the week, it's gonna be great.......and I'll make sure they teach that to your kids when you send them off to my school (I'm a 4th grade teacher by the way). Sleep tight!
I think that this argument is far too logical to occur to any of the idiot bigots and bible-thumpers who oppose equality and individual freedoms (which I thought were supposed to be the main premises of this nation).
oh never thought of that before! ban divorce...hmm...i'd have to think about that for a while. Would it be a good idea?
haha cause that whole argument about protecting marriage is dumb and they know it.
Banning divorce might increase the murder rate, though. Well, it was worth a try. Back to the drawing board.
Thank you Corrin...banning divorce BAD. It would definintely increase the murder and suicide rates.
Homosexuality is ridiculous. Why? It isin't natural. They cannot reproduce with their partners, so they are clearly not intended to be together.
As far as I'm concerned, there is no proof that Human Hormones attract a person to his or her own gender. The people who do most likely were dumped by someone of the other gender, and is feeling insecure.

Ban interracial marriage because it used to be seen as ';unnatural';. Ban premarital sex because the bible says all sexual sins are equal and homosexuality is a sin so anyone who has sex before marriage is just as guilty as homosexuals.
I posed that argument long ago. No one appears to see reason though.
They hate homosexulity and are uncomfortable with same sex unions and they want them to suffer. All there is to it. There is NO valid reasons for banning same sex marriage: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;…
EDIT: ';Alex N'; - So if the issue of gay marriage is decided on that homosexuals cannot produce children and so they cannot get married, you are saying that the old, and sterile/infertile couples, or just if a straight couple decides to not have children, then they should not be married?
That does NOT make logical sense! And homosexuality has been proved to be natural by almost every major mental and medical health organization in the US, the American Psychological Association being 1 of about 16: http://www.apahelpcenter.org/articles/ar…
EDIT: ';sd619'; are you saying that if same sex marriage is legalized, then people will want to marry children? Aren't there laws against pedophlia that would have to be repealed if that were to happen? And don't you need to be of legal age to sign a marriage certificate anyway?
As for polygamy (marrying more than one person at a time) the bible condones it. So by saying, ';we have to keep marriage between a man and a woman because it's what God intended'; well the bible condones polygamy, so if it were to be made legal, then it would still be ';biblical';.
Like I said. NO logical arguments against gay marriage: http://www.bidstrup.com/marriage.htm
EDIT: Yes, ';Brandon C'; is right. Same sex marriage used to be legal in the churche's eyes: http://www.colfaxrecord.com/detail/91429…
The number one argument used against gay marriage is that children can't be conceived and that marriage is for having children.
So, what conservatives *really* should push for is a law that any marriage which does not produce children within three years is automatically dissolved and void.
OMG!!!! If I would have had to stay married to my ex-husband one more day, I'd have killed myself!
People change. He was not the man I met in the beginning. It's said that a person's ';representative'; leaves after 6 months, lol
Banning divorce would not work! We have a better chance of waiting for gay marriage to be accepted and acknowledged!
I can't wait until gay marriage passes! Then I will fight for my right to marry 7 wives, because that is my lifestyle choice. My buddy Dan, he wants to marry his daughter (she wants to marry him too) so they can finally get married! Pass it, please, because once they say one group can do it, we all can do it. Finally, a wife for every day of the week, it's gonna be great.......and I'll make sure they teach that to your kids when you send them off to my school (I'm a 4th grade teacher by the way). Sleep tight!
I think that this argument is far too logical to occur to any of the idiot bigots and bible-thumpers who oppose equality and individual freedoms (which I thought were supposed to be the main premises of this nation).
oh never thought of that before! ban divorce...hmm...i'd have to think about that for a while. Would it be a good idea?
haha cause that whole argument about protecting marriage is dumb and they know it.
Banning divorce might increase the murder rate, though. Well, it was worth a try. Back to the drawing board.
Thank you Corrin...banning divorce BAD. It would definintely increase the murder and suicide rates.
Homosexuality is ridiculous. Why? It isin't natural. They cannot reproduce with their partners, so they are clearly not intended to be together.
As far as I'm concerned, there is no proof that Human Hormones attract a person to his or her own gender. The people who do most likely were dumped by someone of the other gender, and is feeling insecure.
Do you think Gay Marriage should be legalized in the United States of America? Why or why not? ?
I encourage staight,gay, lesbian, queer, whatever your identity may be to reply. I am looking for serious and educated explanations only. This is for my research paper. If you cannot express yourself in a mature manner please do not respond I will report your a$$ (lol) Thank You. Again no matter what your viewpoint is as long as it is appropriate!Do you think Gay Marriage should be legalized in the United States of America? Why or why not? ?
Yes
Because America is so far behind the rest of the developed world on this. I'm not anti-American, but quite frankly, I think it's a joke that a supposed world leader is so far back in the dark ages. America should be ashamed of itself.Do you think Gay Marriage should be legalized in the United States of America? Why or why not? ?
If it's a research paper, shouldn't you be researching books and websites and citing them, instead of people on here? But I don't know what your guidelines are.
Anyway, I think gay marriage should be legalized, however, I don't think it should be called ';marriage,'; but something else.
Before I explain, let me say that I am an open minded person, have thought a lot about this, and have no spite against any orientation.
Gays should have the same rights as straight people do. The difference they have among people are no bigger than what any differences anyone has. Homosexuality is a sin, but if we're gonna get religious, remember that everyone is a sinner, so unless everyone is restricted from marriage, everyone should be ';qualified'; to get married.
However, marriage has been, for quite a long time, a sacred union between man and woman. I only feel that lgbts (lesbian, gays, bisexual, transsexual) should marry under different terms than marriage because it would be invading something that has existed under a union of opposite sexes, and to be fair, lgbts have no right to alter that aura of marriage. Whatever this new term may be, it would still have all the effects of marriage- the only difference being the name.
Yes, I think it should be legalized.
Simple justification, really - equal treatment of all citizens under the law, not ';special rights'; for the majority.
Related to this would be the separation of church and state - some churches support gay marriage and others do not, so which church should have its position codified into the law that applies to all? Again, simple answer - NONE. In my religion, we do not believe in killing animals. We are all vegetarian, but does anything think we should have our religious beliefs codified into a law that applies to all citizens? Fortunately, we do not think we have the right to do this. It would be nice if all the other religions would recognize that they have the freedom to practice their beliefs within their own congregations without having to impose their beliefs on others.
My daughter wrote a very good paper for college a few years ago on this subject. She is a lesbian young woman whose views do not always follow the norm of a typical person in the gay community. However, she feels that gay marriage should be legalized based on the fact that most minorities (women, blacks, gays, etc.) have been discriminated against. At one time in this country, bi-racial marriage was also illegal. If you would like some of the sources she used for her paper, I can ask her and e-mail that information back to you. I hope that I have been helpful.
I think it should be legalized
Yes
1. It Should Be Separation of Church and State - People get up in a hissy, cuz its is suppose to be Adam and Eve... And this seems to be predominantly why people say Veto.
2. Why Not - There is real no reason as to why it is not legalized. It all comes down to discrimination and blatant stupidity.
3. Other Minorities can Marry - LGBT community are counted as a minority, and well Blacks can marry, Latinos, Ect.
4. It would probably help the community too - Happy couples living together... not saying that all gay couples are happy couples, but less tend to break up, especially if it is a serious relationship such as marriage. Cuz they have found there soul mate. I meen think about it, working through society, as a LGBT, living lies, telling lies, sleeping with random people, trying to feel human, then they meet someone that they ';love'; and well what better could you do then share your lives together forever, with all the benefits of a straight couple.
I am all for it!
To people who oppose gay marriage on religious grounds:
There is difference between a legal marriage and a religious marriage.
A legal marriage is a legal contract between two people. To achieve this, you must go through the court system, which from my knowledge has nothing to do with a church/religion. Legal marriage plays no part in religion.
The issue I guess is people think gay marriage will force churches to allow gay marriage. No it will not! A church can refuse to marry anyone because they can do what they want. But their wishes should not dictate US policy.
Being gay is no more of a choice than having brown eyes. Both are biological. The bible is a collection of fairy-tales written by men who did not know how the world worked. It is used to control people
Gay individuals just want equal rights under the law. They are not trying to change religious dogma.
People who point to the bible for evidence against gay marriage need to read the book a little more closely. They like to pick and choose what to believe. It is quite sad. If something effects their life in someway, they say ';We shouldnt take it literally.'; But once something doesnt effect their lives, but many others, they are all for it.
I'm a straight Christian girl, who although I know It's ';a sin'; in my religion, fully beleive it should be legalized! One of my best friends is gay, and I hope one day he can have a nice relationship were he can be legally married!
I mean, why SHOULDN'T it be legal? What can you say that makes it wrong? You can't say it's a sin...cause I mean...So is sex outside of marriage (in Christianity at least) and you don't see them making that illegal. I support! %26lt;3
Yes, i do think that gay marriage should be legalized because people should be able to love and be loved by whoever they want, and who are the government to interfere with peoples life decisions after all this is america supposedly the land of the free, so we she all be free to express our love for our spouse,rather it's same sex or not, however we choose.
Yes it should be legal. I am gay and I know. All the straight people, supportive or not, do not realize. I could never understand what African went through as slaves. I am not black so I will never know. I am gay so I know what it is like. Can you understand what it is like to be legally worse than everyone else. Imagine the law actually said that everyone else was better than you.
Furthermore, there are loads of rights thrown in with marriage. How many do you think there are? There are 1,138 (source listed below) rights that gay people are denied due to marriage. WOW! That's the civil issue.
And if you want more email me and ask. lewistutor@hotmail.com
I could right a book on this topic.
I think it should be legalized. It better be by the time I want to get married. I think that some people really aren't that open-minded and just don't think it's right. There's nothing wrong with love :-) Even Hallmark is starting to acknowledge gay marriage and has even made cards for it :-)
of course why not, y should anyone be able to prevent people from marrying even if it goes against their personal beliefs, y should anybody care what somebody else does with their life, its THEIR life, let them do what they want, and besides in our constitution it says that church and government should not be mixed, therefore religious beliefs should not stand in the way of gay marriage even though they have been
I am gay and I am a 17 year old male.
I firmly believe that marriage should be legalized in the USA between any two consenting adults, gay, straight, bi, or otherwise. As long as both parties consent, the marriage should be legal.
of course it should...for america to not have all its states legalize gay marriage/civil union by now is slightly out of character...considering that smaller countries have enacted 'Civil Unions'...new zealand for 1 in 2004 or 2005...
It already has, but only in Massachusetts and California from what I understand. I think the time will one day come when it will be legalized in all states. Hopefully soon. Just my view.
Everyone has the right to express themselves theirfore I respect everyones opinion but I think love should have no gender after all love is about how you feel about someone else deep inside which is the heart plus u are not hurting anyone by giving love
I really don't care ! I don't C Y any 1 would marry %26amp; I don't want kids ! However, from a civil rights perspective I'm obligated 2 support it !
I think it shoudl be legalized because love should be free. It shouldn't be decided by some law. Love is Love, and it cnanot be broken.
i dont see why not.
i dont get whats so bad about it!
why should you care if 2 people want to get married?
thats what i think
yes because it could do nothing but make people be happy and feel like equals.
Why not? Let people be happy.

Would you prefer your spouse be experienced or saved themselves for marriage?
All things equal. Same person - just different situation.Would you prefer your spouse be experienced or saved themselves for marriage?
doesn't matter, its whats inside that matters, and as you get older , it becomes much harder to find a woman who hasn't been married or experienced before.Would you prefer your spouse be experienced or saved themselves for marriage?
Anyone who ';wants'; a virgin is on an ego trip or is very in secure. Who in there right mind wants to marry someone who knows absolutely nothing about sex, doesn't know what pleases them or knows how to please you?
I made the big mistake of marrying a virgin and it was horrible. Know woman wants to constantly have to teach her husband what she needs and he just doesn't get it.
Now I understand how my first husband felt when I was a virgin and he married me. I actually believed that it was important for my husband to be my first sexual experience. It sounded great, but it sure didn't turn out that way.
Knowing what I know today, if I had it to do all over again. I would not wait until I got married before having sex, I would never marry a virgin, and I would clearly know ahead of time what I was getting before I married any man. Sex isn't everything, but it is a big part of a marriage. If the sex is bad, it will seriously damage the marriage.
Come on! He's gotta know how to work me. I'm very sexual. So he has to be a no bars freak. Just like me!

Woman of the Hindu faith and man of the Christian faith marriage?
I was wondering if you have heard of such circumstances. Also, if you have can you include any pics of these couples. Thank you.
Btw, do any men or women on here have this type of relationship?
This is for a school project, so any advice or info would be helpful.Woman of the Hindu faith and man of the Christian faith marriage?
interesting.
I admire Hindus- their looks. I have come across a couple of very attractive ones.
My Christian friend dated a Hindu and they were cute together. Hindus have very high morals and are usually very highly intelligent.
I like them.Woman of the Hindu faith and man of the Christian faith marriage?
SOMEONE HAS TO CHANGE...Jehovah, the true Christian God, will tolerate no other gods before him..and hindu's do worship multiple gods...
If the Christian [ potential] husband is true to his God, then he will not marry a believer in other gods.
If he abandons his beliefs,, he cannot be then called a Christian.
(2 Kings 17:35) when Jehovah concluded a covenant with them and commanded them, saying: 鈥淵OU must not fear other gods, and YOU must not bow down to them nor serve them nor sacrifice to them.
There are dozens of scriptures like this, all saying the same thing...

Anyway, you need to be more clear on your accusations. (cheers)
Women cause pain to ya know....Not being happy sexually, not being satisfied with their husbands. And writing all that stuff here on Y.A instead of talking with there spouse.

Is it true the marriage based green card takes 6-15 months?
The USCIS indicated the length of the waiting period is about 7.3 months. I have been waiting for 9 months.
I can understand there is a backlog, and every application goes to the Chicago lock box and it depends on how many applied from which state you are from....
I would like to know if its true the length processing time is from 6 to 15 months?Is it true the marriage based green card takes 6-15 months?
Yes, the process can range from 6 months - 2 years.It depends on many factors like if you are stuck in name check, there is backlog at the USCIS local Office where your papers is processed or you lack some documents in your application.You can create a Customer Portfolio Account at the USCIS website using your case number so you will be updated about your application.
https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/index.j鈥?/a>Is it true the marriage based green card takes 6-15 months?
My husband is Canadian. We were married here in the U.S. in November of 2007. He received his green card at the end of July 2007. It was eight months almost to the day. We live in Los Angeles, CA. I don't know if that really makes a difference, though.
Have you tried tracing the progress of your card on the USCIS website? You might want to check just to make sure there's not a foul-up somewhere along the line.
A lot will depend on the country you come from ...or even if you have a very common name
