How do you tell when you are going to get a marriage proposal?

Isn't it a bad year when you're single and don't get even one?








XXXHow do you tell when you are going to get a marriage proposal?
Hi! I think we're proposed to (when it's for real:)... when we become an indispensably integral part of someone's life.... feeling pure joy of togetherness which resonates on a deep emotional level allowing both to feel safe with gratitude and respect for the other's presence.... enriching each other's lives to such a degree that life is unthinkable without the other. That's when you know. And... no. A bad year is when you're not living life with a passion.... for discovery, curiosity, and humanity.... When you do that... you're irresistible!!!.. :))))How do you tell when you are going to get a marriage proposal?
Wow... thank you!

Marriage proposals every year aren't the point. You only need one proposal per life! The point is that it comes from someone you love and can't imagine living without. You get that and it's not just a great year, but an awesome life!

Does having an open marriage make sense to anyone?

Really, why be married? Maybe I'm old fashioned but the whole thing just doesn't make sense, at all, under any circumstance. Personally I just think that anyone who does it is just heading for disaster. Probably 1 out of every 100 swinging couples ends happily and I am sure that that is because they find some way to stop swinging. All in all it just seems like a dumb thing to do.Does having an open marriage make sense to anyone?
My wife a year or so ago mentioned she wanted an open relationship. I said I couldn't right from the start. She had womanly problems and said it wasn't fair to me. I've tried to think of others or use porno but the fantasy always comes back to my wife. I guess I still love her after 8 years even though i don't get anyDoes having an open marriage make sense to anyone?
You're mixing it up, my friend. Your headline concerns open marriage but in the details you call it swinging. Two radically different concepts with different goals. Is your statement about about 1 of every 100 swinging couples ending happily backed by any facts or actual statistics? And your statement that anyone who does this is headed for disaster. Is that based on anything other than your own narrow mindedness? You may be correct...I'm just asking if you have anything to base your claims on. And I'm sure you do some dumb things too, so maybe you shouldn't be so judgmental. I'm not saying I disagree with any of your points, it's just that you seem to be spouting supposed facts based strictly on your own opinions. A very Bill Reilly attitude.
Personally I have to agree with you. But then I realize that there are some people that don't date around enough when they have a chance or think they have found the one person for them, but then they want to start exploring and experimenting. So I think as long as they are open and honest with each other, it would cut down on them cheating on each other because, they have set their own rules and the like for what would be acceptable and what wouldn't be.





However I don't think everybody should be flinging open their marriage until both parties realizes and really takes a look at their relationship. Because sometimes(and this is just my opinion), people fling open their marriage, because it seems like what ';everybody'; is doing and they think it is the answer to their problems. When in reality if there was more communication done in the marriage, anyone can easily figure out a way to take care of the issues without involving others.





But overall its still just different strokes for different folks.
The concept of marriage as a mutually growth producing committed relationship does allow for the individuals to explore other relationships in a responsible manner. Perhaps we need to remember that marriage was realized as an agreement between two families about how their wealth would be maintained and transfered to future generations. If we look across the hundreds of societies in the world, they all handle marriage and family differently. The only rules that matter are the ones that make sense to to the people involved.


I don't condone cheating. Communication is even more important when stepping outside of traditional ways of living. The important thing to remember is that with freedom comes responsibility.
Most of these answers indicate a complete lack of understanding of an open marriage. I've noticed that on Y!A people are VERY threatened by things they don't understand and that they could never see themselves doing.





An open marriage has nothing to do with wanting out of the marriage. That is simply wrong.





It's something that works really well for some people who are mature and not jealous. If these people wanted monogamy, they would choose that. I've never heard anyone in an open marriage put down someone in a monogamous marriage, probably because they're comfortable with their own choices and couldn't care less what others do.





To me, jealousy is intolerable and a symptom of insecurity and immaturity. I am in a monogamous marriage now of my own choosing, but I was married to a very well-adjusted man before and for 20 years it was an open marriage. We were happy when we were married, and we are still friends. We divorced mostly because he was never home, and I was lonely.





Demonizing others choices is sad.
Right -- I know a couple of couples who do this. They still cheat on the rules of the open relationship, which causes more discord. For example, if they are allowed to only swing with each other's permission, they still sneak around, hoping not to get caught. They need the thrill, not the sex as much.
It may not make sense to you, but everyone is free to make their own decisions about the life style they choose regardless of what anyone else thinks. I am sure there are decisions about the way you live your life that would make no sense to some people. That is the way life is...we are all different, and hopefully can be tolerant of others.
Not to me, but obviously to some it does. Nothing old-fashioned or intolerant about thinking it makes no sense. It makes no sense. The people who do it have some serious issues. If the arrangement makes it possible for them to have a happier life with those issues, more power to them, but when they start talking about how they're more highly evolved or something, I feel like I'll puke.
What makes you think you are right and they are wrong? Do you feel somewhat superior or what?





If anyone decides they would like to have their marriage that way, they are in the same right as you having a ';closed'; marriage.





It's just another sexual preference like being gay, bi or les... so your not god to judge them.





All of the problems we have in modern society is because people don't want to tolerate others being different and they think they know better but they wrong in so many ways
love avenue and ouragon: great answers. people can DO OR NOT DO whatever they choose. you can disagree with what people do but saying its wrong for anyone but yourself is stupid and a reflection of your ignorance to anything you dont understand





thats part of the problem in society. people demonize what they dont understand or like instead of accepting that they represent JUST ONE WAY OF LIVING LIFE and there are various equally satisfying ways that other people enjoy.
I agree.....why get married. Marriage is a commitment to be true in all ways. I know people slip up and aren't always perfect ... but, if you are married you build from your mistakes, make a stronger bond by being together as a couple. If other people are always involved something is wrong.
I agree!! When you get married you take vows to ';forsake all others'; If you want to have an open relationship, whatever, but an ';open'; marriage is breaking your wedding vows, so it is not a marriage.
You are correct. Every couple is different in what they bring to the table and they make their own rules. You will do well to find a partner that feels as you do. Enjoy your relationship and avoid the ones that aren't your cup of tea.
I totally agree with you i think its disgusting.





If people want to sleep around then they should just stay single.





My husband and i would never have an open marriage or be swingers cause we dont need other people to satisfy us sexually plus we respect our vows.
it would be wrong for me, but there are all sorts of people out there. i think it a decision every couple should make for themselves and as long as everyone is consenting, more power to them.
I don't think it does. Why bother to be married. An open marriage is no more than friends who sleep around together. You don't need marriage to do it.
Ick. I am not into ';strange'; and the thought of having anyone other than my husband gives me the creeps.
yes in cases where the people appear married, but are in fact not
I agree. Swingers are people who want out of the relationship and are too scared to go at life alone.






I agree with you,it makes no sense at all
I agree

If a gay couple gets married where its legal, is the marriage still valid once they go home?

Like if a gay couple from the USA (both USA citizens) goes to Canada to get married, when they go back to the USA is the marriage still valid? Or would at least one partner have to be a citizen of the country where gay marriage is legal?


(the countries are just examples, I dont know if it's different for different countries)If a gay couple gets married where its legal, is the marriage still valid once they go home?
The marriage would only be valid in the few states that recognize gay marriage. It would not be recognized anywhere else. The marriage would not be recognized by the Federal government either.If a gay couple gets married where its legal, is the marriage still valid once they go home?
i believe that one the members still need to obtain a partnership thingy when they are in the US...otherwise i dont think the US will acknowledge their marriage. people all the time go across the border to tie the knot but they always have a partner thing in the US... i dont know whats it's calledddd! :[[[[
not in texas and other states like that, they dont recognize gay marriage from other states. as for the diffrent citizenships im not sure. and I THINk that if you get married in CA the united states has to accept you as a legitmate married couple. but im not 100% positive on that
The bottom line is it depends, some countries recognise and some will refuse. Eg, if you went to England they might, but if you went to Saudi Arabia forget it.
i was wondering the same thing myself. I think once u get that marriage certificate..its good no matter what state u live n. I know that Ellen Degeneros and her partner went to Navada to get married then bk 2 calif...so must b
Depends on the state.


New York for example recognizes foreign same-sex marriages. Texas does not.
Saudi Arabia is disgusting and medieval.
I know that if you go to canada and come to New york it is recognized.

Do you believe a marriage withstands all?

I'm just wondering how many folks out there actually believe in the for better or worse. And for those that have been married long periods of time, How do you get through the bad stuff? I know the communication deal and all that but personally when you feel like you just can't take anymore, How do you do it? What do you do to get you through? How do you work it out?Do you believe a marriage withstands all?
No it does not. There are marriage deal breakers - cheating, any crime committed, drugs, alcohol, sexual, verbal, and physical abuse, etc. I think it would be a huge mistake to stay married under those types of circumstances. The 'for better or for worse' is for things like financial problems, medical issues, etc. Those you stay and work through.





I have been married for 21 years. It takes constant effort from both people to remain happily married. You learn how to work together through the bad stuff without panic and fighting. When I feel like I have had it, I go off for alone time to regroup (as does my hubby). We respect the need to regroup. After thinking things through and regrouping - we talk if it is needed. I do not call him names or yell and scream anymore (did some of that early on - it in no way helps. It makes things worse). We really have a fun, exciting, and happy marriage. We enjoy each others company and have each others backs. Marriages and people grow and change over time - hopefully for the better if you work at it. You have to want it to be better and want to be a better person for your spouse.Do you believe a marriage withstands all?
No, marriage can not withstand everything. There are horrible things in this world that I have little doubt that even the healthiest and loving relationship can handle. If my husband should become an adulterous heroin addict who beats me up I'm not going to stay in that sort of relationship.





Marriage at its core is about 2 people being logical, rational and reasonable. If one of those two people can't be those things then no matter how much the other person tries it will not hold the marriage together.
Marriage can last life time if it is not based on suspicious minds which could readily break the toughest bonds. There has to be trust, love and respect. Married life has it's ups and downs. Husbands and wives do quarrel at times and not all hubbys are soft or wives tolerant of the mis-manners or bullying by their husbands. At times they have even physical fights and hurt one or the other. Yet these situations happen on the spur of the moment and either or both cool down when their folly rains down like a hard hammer on them later. In reality such fights are the test to the love they have of each and surprisingly it strengthens their bonds. Why seek another woman when you have a loving, caring wife at home or vice versa for the husband? So, keep deep respect over a longer period of your spouse and things get settled on their own!
Marriage is only for better or worse if the better outweighs the worse! It takes a good team to be successful! Marriage can be nearly perfect if you think alike and agree to disagree! Lets be honest the sex has to be good and if your doing it right it gets better and better regardless of the amount of time you spend together! Shared interests are very important and a tolerance for what you don't enjoy that they do is essential!
';For better or worse'; means that you will stay together and be partners when life is easy and when it is hard. It is not referring to the emotional state of the marriage.


We get through the 'bad stuff' together as a team. It is us against the world sometimes, and that makes us a stronger team. Thank God that the 'For better'; times far outnumber the ';for worse'; times.
We went through an affair about fifteen years ago. We have been dirt poor, especially during our earliest years. We have raised two boys from birth now to almost adulthood. I think what happens is, IF a marriage can survive some of those worst times, it gives the relationship a feeling of power, because it has already survived so much.





To get through it? Just perseverence. One of my biggest fears in life was having another man raise my kids as a step-parent. It never happened, and I have a close relationship with my boys today that I think will last forever. It was hard, but it was worth it.
ok this is my thought on this through my exsperience, i do not think the bible meant a women staying with a volient partner or living with someone cheating


better for worse is about going through tough times in life and sharing the good times


I decided i loved my kids more than to allow them to be raised in fear and danger instead of hoping aor a praying a man will change,people choose and you can not change them
I believe my marriage does. But I don't believe all do (obviously they don't).





To me there are reasons to leave (infidelity and abuse), the rest you try to get through. Sometimes time cares for it, talking, counseling, etc. Marriage is a lot of fun most of the time, but it takes work too.
I was married for 24 years and finally had enough. I tried everything I could to make my marriage work. It takes two. I am very happy now. divorced for 5 years and recently remarried to a wonderful man. That works for me!
Believe in God and with him all things are possible. Communication with spouse, Trust and Commitment
I'm with Dannie M. IT takes two people who are committed to each other and who honor their wedding vows.
Whew! I have two holes in the carpet on my side of the bed from having to pray SO often.

Is not allowing gay marriage an act of bigotry or oppression?

I hear all the time that gays are a minority when in the 90's they were denied legal minority status seeing as though homosexuality is not a gender nor an ethnicity.





Thomas Jefferson said ';all men are equal and therefor no man shall make law for another. we call matters to vote and let the majority decide';





this is not majority ruling over the minority. they are technically numerical minorities but not constitutional minorities. so i ask again. is the denying of gay marriage an act of bigotry or the people of a democracy banning together to come to agreement on what is acceptable/unacceptable?Is not allowing gay marriage an act of bigotry or oppression?
Yes, it is, because you are denying a basic right to a segment of the population. This isn't rocket science. Society admits that there are people whose relationships are not heterosexual. However there are those that believe their relationships should not be recognised legally like heterosexual couples. That, my friend, is the foundation of segregation. These people can have these rights, but those people over there can't.





Homosexuality was removed from mental health books in 1973. Sodomy laws were repealed in 2003. Four states already recognise same sex marriages, and the President has mentioned working towards the repealing of the Defense of Marriage Act. In case you haven't noticed? Times are changing. Learn to adapt.





Also, FYI? You're not living in a democracy. This is a republic. This is also a plutocracy. If you don't know what that is, I suggest you look it up.

It sort of is, it's limiting legal marriage to only two people of the opposite gender. It's oppressing when there are some many gay couples who want they same rights as opposite sex couples get. There aren't any logical reasons to prohibit two people of the same gender from marrying.
bigotry


because it is demeaning a characteristic in which one cannot change


being gay is not a choice
The first option.
';We the people...means everyone';
I am confused as to why you are so concerned about gay marriage.





Unless if you are gay, then you shouldn't even be worried about this. But, maybe you just have some repressed homosexual tendencies yourself and you just can't get over a little internalized homophobia.





Give into the ';devil'; man; living in sin is awesome.





In answer to your question, the majority is discriminating against a verifiable minority. Denying rights to someone based on their being a homosexual does not promote the advancement of society. On the contrary, it promotes the biggest perversion in this country: Christianity - the real shame of them all.
