-and is my question grammatically okay ?What is the most common cause of conflict between marraid couples?
Lack of communication is the broken bridge which will not hold money problems, sex issues, children matters, etc..... That is why its so important to build a relationship on love, intimacy, open communication and trust. This way when any storm hits the relationship, you are both well equipped to ride out out.What is the most common cause of conflict between marraid couples?
Since you asked, you misspelled married.
If I had to pick one thing which I think could change the whole landscape of marriage today, I would have a rule that people would have to wait at least one year to do it. And by do it, you can take that all the ways possible.
I agree with WisenSmart, communication is key. Issues with money, children and intimacy can be resolved with communication.
My marriage would not have suffered infidelity if we had communicated better. I'm happy to say we stuck it out and have fixed all that.
no its married. not marraid.
the most common problems i hear, is either husbands become lazy and dont do little things for their wives anymore..
or the women gets lazy and doesnt wanna have sex as much..
meh.. lack of communication
Lack of Communication,lack of love,and lack of sex.After those lacks,what is coming?: divorces,cheating,etc.
Ours is jealousy over my ex (we had a child together). The biggest thing for him is finances cause he carries alot of the burden. They both add stress to our lives.
You spelled married wrong.
I think it would be money and jealousy,not necessarily in that order.
Other people's opinions! Your grammar is acceptable; your spelling atrocious.
Sex. Your grammar is good, your spelling is horrible.
Finances. It's the number one cause of divorce.
Definitely money and children. Your spelling is bad, but mine can be too. Things should be spelled how they sound!
Money
Is your last name Tatupu? Dude, you spelled 'married' wrong...
Lack of Sex is a big problem in marriages.
Hands down - financial issues
money..kids..infidelity
yes and no to your other question... ';married';
It鈥檚 Married.
As for your question 鈥?I鈥檇 say the number one argument is money. Easy!
I think it's money and children.
You spelled 'married' wrong.
Money and/or child rearing.
Your spelling is not OK.
MONEY...OR THE LACK THEREOF

For married couples whose children are not children of their marriage?
For those of us who have been married more than once and we have children and adult children on both sides who come to live with us and the new spouse. Do you truthfully see love like you would if they were your own children? Is it unconditional love or are these kids somewhat shortchanged in that department? Also, could be the reasons for so many divorces.For married couples whose children are not children of their marriage?
This is a difficult one isn't it? I inherited two boys, 6 and 7. Their father had died and I married mum. Since then we've had 2 girls together. Do I honestly love them the same as my own children?
Well, they have been shortchanged becasue their dad died. But the way you love your own offspring is something so special, perhaps it's not so much that the boys are short-changed, but that my girls would be short changed if I loved them the same way as I do the boys (now 11 and 12)
It is undeniably difficult, I didn't expect to be faced with my feelings as often as I am. The trouble is really not that the feelings aren't the same but that it has to be a secret, I can't ever let my boys know that I don't love them in the same way as I love my own Girls, it's like trying to keep up a charade which will be lifelong.
I also struggle with feeling resentful towards them, that they expect things from me when in my own way I can't help feeling that I'm doing them a favour and they should be grateful. There we are I said it, that's brutally frank. I do their ironing and buy their food, but I fell in love with and married their mum, not them.
But I do love them, it's just that the love I have is a constant decision I'm having to make over and again to act in love, as in behave lovingly towards them. Whereas with my girls I don't have to think about it.
So you're not alone. I love the boys and care about the future for them, but I don't think I'll ever forget that they're not mine.For married couples whose children are not children of their marriage?
i have 3 teenage children of my own
i also have a stepson, who came into my life as a teen
i could not love him more than if he were my own
he is 21 now, and i automatically think i have 4 children
but i do think the way we are is quite rare, which makes me appreciate it all the more
blended families are more and more popular, but i dont think thats the cause for the increase in divorce, i think people sadly see marriage as a throw away commodity these days
before, you would stick it out, now most people bail at the first hurdle
My wife has a five yr old daughter. My son is twenty and off at college. Ill be honest at first it was difficult. My wife and i had different perspectives on discipline and behavior. It first i resented her child over it. Until i realized it was her daughter and her way of raising her is her business. And that i was there to support her with it. She had jealousy issues at first her having to share her mother with me. So it was rocky. Fortunately as shes matured somewhat and ive learned to accept things better we have grown closer. Now to get to your question i feel you learn to love them as your own. That is if the acceptance is mutual. If they let you in. Are willing to let you get close. I can see where it can cause tension in a marriage believe me. It was hard for me to express that i cared for her when i was being rejected, getting the looks, the rolling of the eyes. But as time has gone she has come to accept me. Will she ever truly love me? I guess only time will tell. And with that i guess will depend on how far things go from my end. What role i actually play in her life. You can't push the issue you can only show them your there and do care about them. As far as my wife feelings for my son i feel if more time was spent together they would become closer. She has a good heart and does care. I know i probably added more into your question then you asked.
My oldest is not my husband's child. I see no difference in the way he loves him or how he treats him. We got together when he was two and he is not 18. The other two kids that are my husband think that they oldest is his favorite. I could love any ones child like my own. My kid's have some friends that I do.
My Wife married me with two children and she had one. We just do things as fair as possible. We even keep track about how much money we spend for the holidays, it has to be within 10 dollars.
Love wise, I know she loves her son more then my two and I love my two more then hers but the caring is there and the love is there. There is never any love like that of a mother for her natural children.
I divorced from my 2nd husband long after my kids moved out as adults. He raised them however and even though he has absolutely no contact with me he still sees them frequently. He and his new wife include them in all their family functions and none of my 3 children were his.
Adult children are not really ';children';. They are formed people with their own mature personalities.
This is now about learning how to get along with others.

Are standards to for egg donors too high? Should couples be able to put a price on specifics?
I want to get others opinions for a paper I need to write for English.Are standards to for egg donors too high? Should couples be able to put a price on specifics?
There are two aspects to this question. If you compare and contrast with sperm donors you will be able to see what is driving this market.
First, there are medical standards imposed on donors. They must be healthy, with no diseases, physcological disorders, etc. There are limits to the number of times a women can be a donor. Male donors are the same except there is no limit to number of times they can provide a sample.
The other aspect, market demand is more telling. Sperm donors have been marketing their wares for years. Some donors are in high demand and some not so high. While it is noble to say that any donor is worthy, the market has a different opinion. Blond, blue-eyed people with superior IQs are in demand.
Sperm donation depends on cryopreservation of sperm. Cryopreservation of eggs (oocytes) is not commonly practiced. But there is new technology on the horizon and soon eggs will be marketed similar to sperm. There will be catalogs with blond women having great bods and triple digit IQs.
If there were a system that egg recipients, are given ';what is available';, there will be a black market for eggs that are desired. This an outgrowth of humans willing to pay for what they want. So you might as well sanction the same system we have for sperm. Although couples cry for a baby to love, it is just as easy to love a child that has a chance to get into Harvard.Are standards to for egg donors too high? Should couples be able to put a price on specifics?
I can tell you that my daughter looked into donating eggs, but was actually turned down because she was overweight.
Not morbidly obese, just larger than the chart the place used. Its absolutely ridiculous to me that they'd turn down a viable donor with an absolutely adorable baby and good health history!
Good luck to you, its no easy path.
No, because if they have a baby with genetic defects from ';old eggs'; or ';old sperm';, the parents will sue the doctor into his next life..
I don't know. What are the current standards?
I think the standards are pretty good. Only the healthiest women should be donors, not only for the resulting egg, but for the process with which they must go through. Donating eggs is not without risk. Women going through IVF are willing to take this risk. My friend lost one of her ovaries while going through the egg collection phase of her IVF.
Should couples be able to put a price on specifics. No. This is because you will run into a problem where women in certain categories may be deliberately courted and LIED TO in order to obtain eggs (most commonly, natural blonde, blue eyed women). This already happened in the early 90s. If you want a designer baby, that does not give you license to exploit women who have the features you are looking for.eye liquid

To married couples: did you find that your partner changed much after getting married?
I have heard and read of stories from various sources (friends, family members, articles etc.) about changes in behaviour of married couples. For example complaints about laziness, not being as affectionate, not going out very much etc.
Is this common? In what ways did you or your partner change? If so, why do you think getting married has this effect? By the way, I am pro-marriage. I am young, never been married and find this topic interesting.To married couples: did you find that your partner changed much after getting married?
Our habits and patterns have changed somewhat as a result of 1) moving in together and 2) the passage of time; but I don't think that much of it can be attributed directly to the signing of the marriage license.
We lived together for over a year before getting married, and it was definitely a period of adjustment for both of us; our social and emotional lives now included each other, and it does change your routine compared to when you are single and unattached. But (for us at least) this change was for the better - we are very happy to have each other's companionship.
Also, as time goes by, every individual evolves. Habits may change, hobbies come and go, priorities get adjusted. I think, in a healthy relationship/marriage, people evolve together, and this natural gradual ';drift'; is not a problem. Both my husband and I have abandoned some old hobbies and developed some new interests since we've been together, and it's normal. We support each other in our pursuits, even if we don't always participate ourselves.
I think, another major point of change for any couple is parenthood; kids introduce a whole new dimension into the relationship. I don't have children, so I have no personal experience with this, but it's something I hear over and over from other couples. Again - this change in dynamics is not something bad; it's a natural evolution of the relationship.
This is not to say that things don't change for the worse - they do sometimes. But again, I don't believe it has anything to do with getting legally married - it has more to do with general attitudes, dynamics and circumstances of each particular relationship. Laziness, lack of affection, lack of intimacy can manifest themselves in any relationship, whether married or not - especially as more time passes. Given long enough time, I'm sure every relationship goes through a tough stage. I don't feel that the marriage certificate is the cause of that, but being that in our society most long-term couples are married, we naturally see these fluctuations mostly in married couples.To married couples: did you find that your partner changed much after getting married?
I think it just depends on the person. One thing that changes after marriage is you can no longer just ';break up.'; If you choose to no longer be together you have to divorce and that usually gets pretty messy. So some people might feel more comfortable in their relationship and get lazy or show their ';true'; side. Or others feel the pressure of, wow this is the real deal and make a big deal out of things that never really bothered them before. I have to admit, that I was not in anyway nervous prior to getting married, but after the honeymoon I got a case of, ';am I really married now?'; and it freaked me out a bit. That subsided shortly after and I have never regretted getting married.
Things change after your married due to the following.
1. When your dating the other persons credit, bills, spending is not your problem. When your married it is.
2. Once your married and have a mortgage, kids, work your life style changes and your not spending $150. on dinner like you did when you are single.
3. Some men think the romance is over. After the I Do, they don't. No longer bring flowers, cards, or look to go out on a date just the two of you.
If you know your soon to be spouse well enough and are smart enough to have a conversation on who is going to shop, do bills, clean, etc is it wife, hubby or both. Don't assume that house work is the wife's job and yard work is the hubby's job.
I think any time you are around someone so much, or learn things about them you never knew. No matter what ages we are, we change. Just part of having experiences.
My husband was a lot more calm once we were married. He was more selfish (with his time) when we were first married. He now realizes how that hurt me (he would leave me alone for hours to visit family, when I had no one in a new town).
I changed in a LOT of ways. I learned to stop thinking of only myself. He taught me that even if we don't have a lot, we can still help others. I learned to actually communicate my feelings (we didn't do that well in my family growing up).
Affection changes, dates change, your attitude, the way you think of different situations. But it isn't necessarily bad. In my case, all these changes were definetly for the better.
Here's the deal. I don't think my wife changed, I think she FAKED it while we were dating. Then after marriage she got comfortable with the money and the situation and she stopped faking that she loved me.
When I searched for a wife, I wanted someone that I respected and I liked as a person. I wasn't thinking much about future sex. Well, I got what I looked for, a person who I like and respect and who doesn't think much about sex.
If I were to do it over again, I'd look for a romantic and sexy woman who wanted a lifetime of sex... and I would go find friendship with the guys. You can always get friends elsewhere but you're not supposed to go elsewhere for sex. If you get a dud spouse, you're sunk.
Well, my husband and I lived together for 5 years before we got married. He was the same after we got married as before. I don't think the change in behaviour has much to do with getting married, I think it is to do with getting comfortable in the relationship and maybe a bit lazy. At least that is how it is in our relationship.
I've been married 31 years and we're both still the same as we were 35 years ago when we met. We both still put in a 100% and work together around the house. We raised 8 kids now enjoying the grandchildren.
Nothing has changed with either one of us, I didn't get lazy and neither did my wife. I think a lot of couples change as in growing apart from each other. Their not keeping their love for each going, so it ends up that one does everything and the other just doesn't care and sits back. That's not good you need to keep the fire burning in your relationship.
Having 14 years in the hole, I can tell you that people change, this is a normal part of growing old, and maturing. I certainly know that I am not the same person I was when I was 21, so people change, the important thing is that you change together, expand and open your minds and communicate otherwise one goes forward and the other is left behind. Just my two cents.
My Husband did change...
He became a better Man, a better Dad...
I think the commitment we made made him really settle into his life and enjoy the things that make life worth living.
I suppose I've changed as well... I also feel more settled into my life and happier that he is in my life... and I know it changed our Kiddo's lives in making them feel more secure in the arms of ';Family';
No we are exactly the same as we met except we dont go clubbing really anymore after having our baby. We still have lots of sex, go places, are affectionate and both of us help each other out. We work as a team and we have always been like this.
I feel that we are the same people we just grew stronger. You grow so much together. I feel that we are closer now then before we got married. We did change, but in a good way. We changed in the fact that we are older and more mature in our relationship.
Things didn't change for me and my husband. I think it helps if you both have jobs or hobbies so you get a chance to miss each other and cherish the time you have together. I think it also helps if you live together before getting married so that there are no sudden surprises .
It depends on the person. He and I both did not change after marriage. Some people fake who they are to get a spouse and then after they are married their true colors show. I have been married for almost 16 years and still we have not changed for the worse.
Well it may not because they got married. Once you are married other things come into play like stress from money and kids and other things so it can not be said it is only because they are married. It does happen though but not to everyone. IT has not happened to me and my husband.
It happened in my first marriage (24 yrs), he turned into a stay-at-home bore who never wanted to have fun.
But this time, we were straight with each other, no BS and no games, no pretending to be who we aren't. So we knew EXACTLY who we were marrying. We are very happy, too.
everyone changes in their lifetime, thats what happens when your in time
the thing about marriage is, you love each other, and work to continue loving each other even through the changes
Yes, my husband did change. He turned out to be much more affectionate, and romantic than I had previously thought, and I can't say I'm complaining...
Yes, she and I both changed, we grew and are growing together. Compromise can bring about change in ways that are good for both.
im not married never have been but even in just bf/gf relationships your partner changes during the relationship as you get more comfortable with each other
Yes , people change over time. Cost me 2 divorces. Part of staying together, is being able to change together, over time.
She did a complete 180. She started lying, cheating, and spending a ton of money.
yes i did... sometimes it has to do with life experiences and how you handle them.sometimes partners just grow away from one another
Im not married, but I ALWAYS hear that the males tend to get lazy...
I wouldn't say things change when you get married. You do settle into a comfortableness.
I gained some weight and lost all my girlfriends. My husband has packed on a few too. I think that happened because I am happy and we both like to eat. I lost all my girlfriends because when my husband and I first started dating, I spent all my time with him and ignored my girlfriends. We were in high school. Now if we got a divorce I wouldn't have any friends because they are all my husbands friends first.
We still do the same stuff but now we have even more fun and do cooler things because we have more money. We go out and ride our dirt bikes, our Harley, go to bars and concerts and hang out with friends, and make new ones too.
If you hear folks talking about losing the ';spark'; or putting on a few pounds and that affecting their relationship, they should not have married each other in the first place. Everyone is going to get old and wrinkled. When you marry someone you do it because you want to get wrinkled together, to grow old, to have good times, and bad. That ';spark'; that happens when you first meet someone is very short lived but if you can find someone who can light a torch with that spark you are truly lucky.
Marriage should be committing your life to your best friend. Even best friends change sometimes.
It's funny you should ask! My ex-husband was always lazy and I always did all the house work and worked on top of it while taking care of the kids.....Then I got sick of it and his mother pushing her religion on me day after day! Have you two tried to living together? I would think that would be the best thing to try out first and see how things are from there. Leave dishes in the sink, or your dirty cloths in places they shouldn't be and see if she picks up after you and then complains if your the type of person who is a neat person then you two are a match made in heaven and things will go well otherwise don't get married people don't change for the better they always change for the worse.
Exp. seeing how your not even married yet and your already asking then something is not right...... already.
Hope this helps don't ever doubt your self. It's good to ask but you've got something on your mind that's bothering you about him/ her and it's not right so don't go with what you don't want or question....
Is this common? In what ways did you or your partner change? If so, why do you think getting married has this effect? By the way, I am pro-marriage. I am young, never been married and find this topic interesting.To married couples: did you find that your partner changed much after getting married?
Our habits and patterns have changed somewhat as a result of 1) moving in together and 2) the passage of time; but I don't think that much of it can be attributed directly to the signing of the marriage license.
We lived together for over a year before getting married, and it was definitely a period of adjustment for both of us; our social and emotional lives now included each other, and it does change your routine compared to when you are single and unattached. But (for us at least) this change was for the better - we are very happy to have each other's companionship.
Also, as time goes by, every individual evolves. Habits may change, hobbies come and go, priorities get adjusted. I think, in a healthy relationship/marriage, people evolve together, and this natural gradual ';drift'; is not a problem. Both my husband and I have abandoned some old hobbies and developed some new interests since we've been together, and it's normal. We support each other in our pursuits, even if we don't always participate ourselves.
I think, another major point of change for any couple is parenthood; kids introduce a whole new dimension into the relationship. I don't have children, so I have no personal experience with this, but it's something I hear over and over from other couples. Again - this change in dynamics is not something bad; it's a natural evolution of the relationship.
This is not to say that things don't change for the worse - they do sometimes. But again, I don't believe it has anything to do with getting legally married - it has more to do with general attitudes, dynamics and circumstances of each particular relationship. Laziness, lack of affection, lack of intimacy can manifest themselves in any relationship, whether married or not - especially as more time passes. Given long enough time, I'm sure every relationship goes through a tough stage. I don't feel that the marriage certificate is the cause of that, but being that in our society most long-term couples are married, we naturally see these fluctuations mostly in married couples.To married couples: did you find that your partner changed much after getting married?
I think it just depends on the person. One thing that changes after marriage is you can no longer just ';break up.'; If you choose to no longer be together you have to divorce and that usually gets pretty messy. So some people might feel more comfortable in their relationship and get lazy or show their ';true'; side. Or others feel the pressure of, wow this is the real deal and make a big deal out of things that never really bothered them before. I have to admit, that I was not in anyway nervous prior to getting married, but after the honeymoon I got a case of, ';am I really married now?'; and it freaked me out a bit. That subsided shortly after and I have never regretted getting married.
Things change after your married due to the following.
1. When your dating the other persons credit, bills, spending is not your problem. When your married it is.
2. Once your married and have a mortgage, kids, work your life style changes and your not spending $150. on dinner like you did when you are single.
3. Some men think the romance is over. After the I Do, they don't. No longer bring flowers, cards, or look to go out on a date just the two of you.
If you know your soon to be spouse well enough and are smart enough to have a conversation on who is going to shop, do bills, clean, etc is it wife, hubby or both. Don't assume that house work is the wife's job and yard work is the hubby's job.
I think any time you are around someone so much, or learn things about them you never knew. No matter what ages we are, we change. Just part of having experiences.
My husband was a lot more calm once we were married. He was more selfish (with his time) when we were first married. He now realizes how that hurt me (he would leave me alone for hours to visit family, when I had no one in a new town).
I changed in a LOT of ways. I learned to stop thinking of only myself. He taught me that even if we don't have a lot, we can still help others. I learned to actually communicate my feelings (we didn't do that well in my family growing up).
Affection changes, dates change, your attitude, the way you think of different situations. But it isn't necessarily bad. In my case, all these changes were definetly for the better.
Here's the deal. I don't think my wife changed, I think she FAKED it while we were dating. Then after marriage she got comfortable with the money and the situation and she stopped faking that she loved me.
When I searched for a wife, I wanted someone that I respected and I liked as a person. I wasn't thinking much about future sex. Well, I got what I looked for, a person who I like and respect and who doesn't think much about sex.
If I were to do it over again, I'd look for a romantic and sexy woman who wanted a lifetime of sex... and I would go find friendship with the guys. You can always get friends elsewhere but you're not supposed to go elsewhere for sex. If you get a dud spouse, you're sunk.
Well, my husband and I lived together for 5 years before we got married. He was the same after we got married as before. I don't think the change in behaviour has much to do with getting married, I think it is to do with getting comfortable in the relationship and maybe a bit lazy. At least that is how it is in our relationship.
I've been married 31 years and we're both still the same as we were 35 years ago when we met. We both still put in a 100% and work together around the house. We raised 8 kids now enjoying the grandchildren.
Nothing has changed with either one of us, I didn't get lazy and neither did my wife. I think a lot of couples change as in growing apart from each other. Their not keeping their love for each going, so it ends up that one does everything and the other just doesn't care and sits back. That's not good you need to keep the fire burning in your relationship.
Having 14 years in the hole, I can tell you that people change, this is a normal part of growing old, and maturing. I certainly know that I am not the same person I was when I was 21, so people change, the important thing is that you change together, expand and open your minds and communicate otherwise one goes forward and the other is left behind. Just my two cents.
My Husband did change...
He became a better Man, a better Dad...
I think the commitment we made made him really settle into his life and enjoy the things that make life worth living.
I suppose I've changed as well... I also feel more settled into my life and happier that he is in my life... and I know it changed our Kiddo's lives in making them feel more secure in the arms of ';Family';

Why do couples relationships tend to break after one comes back from a trip?
I have seen this happen to 3 couples who were in long term relationship (3 year+).. The girl goes on a trip, comes back and things ';feel'; different and they break up.Why do couples relationships tend to break after one comes back from a trip?
I would say their relationship wasn't that good to begin with then. I have been married for 15 years and my husband was deployed for 15 months and we were just fine. He is on another year long deployment right now and I guarantee our relationship will be just fine. The 3 couples you saw this happen to obviously weren't too serious about their relationship.Why do couples relationships tend to break after one comes back from a trip?
the person who goes on the trip and end up doing something bad and ends up telling their other half
maybe the trip is not only to visit places but to visit oneself too...and u can discover interesting part of you before ignored...
don't worry....true love cannot be breken by a trip..
cos they meet other guys, meet new people who she finds more interesting, she changes her personality because of where she is...
i would mind if my bf went away for a while, as long as it wasnt longer than 2 months because i couldnt be without him that long. even though he could change, i trust him that he wouldnt and if i keep him caged up he'll just want to leave me anyway.
if you set it free and it comes back its meant to be
She probably hooked up with someone on the trip and liked it better than her b/f.
there used to being really happy on the trip then whey get back to real life they cant handle it
You are talking about three couples. You can't draw conclusions from so little data.
And, what's this about ';allowing'; someone else to travel? People in relationships don't own each other. If the relationship can't take any major changes, it must have been weak to begin with. Besides, people don't change all that much. Ask anyone who married someone thinking he/she would change. They don't.
Becuase that time apart from your girlfriend of borfirend or fiance, makes you think. It either makes your relationship stronger, or it breaks your relationship, in a way where you realize there are other girls out there. Or any other various reasons.
It might be that they were used to be together and after a break they realized that there were not in love any more, just used to be together. Or maybe one of the parts fell in love with somebody else.
I would not stop my bf from pursuing something that he wants just for my insecurities. If you love somebody you should want their happiness.
because they have been away from eachother for quite some time without contact on the phone and such.
maybe something happened while she was away or she and or he realized that they have interests else where.

Do most couples consummate their marriage on the wedding night?
is it a very common thing to do?Do most couples consummate their marriage on the wedding night?
We did, but only just as we were both exhausted (and he was pretty pissed!). I'd been awake since 2am that morning.
It was a lot more fun on honeymoon ;-)Do most couples consummate their marriage on the wedding night?
Every one of my friends say yes, even if it was in the limo after the wedding and before the reception. As for me, been married twice and both times the answer is yes.
Most couples consummate BEFORE the ceremony; LOL. I would think most but not all do on the wedding night, except for those that are too exhausted, drunk, or have to travel to their honeymoon destination.
i would have to say most couples dont.
because of the fact that its a looooong day and by the end of the night both of you are too exhausted.
It can wait til the next day.
I think most couples consummate their relationships before marriage so doing it on the night is not such a big deal anymore.
Usually tiredness and being slightly drunk takes precedence.
Usually they're too tired and exhausted from the wedding itself! Especially the bride! I wanted to, but it just wasn't going to happen. We slept in the next day though and made up for lost time.
actually, most do not on their wedding night... normally they are too tired from the long wedding day.. usually they wait til the next day or 2 days later when they go on their honeymoon.
My boyfriend and I have already said that if we get married we'll probably be so tired that we'll get sleep and then sometime in the early morning hours, wake up and make love.
Did on the first marriage as it was expected. When I got married again we were far too exhausted and drunk. We fell asleep before our heads touched the pillow!
I'm already expecting my husband to be too drunk to consummate anything, LOL.
We were tired but there was no way we would skip the consummation! Talk about a bad way of starting off the marriage.
i think most couples are either worn out or too intoxicated to consummate their marriage i know we were lol
most prolly dont because of the exhaustion from the day, but i certainly plan to
I'd say about 50-50. My husband and I did, but I could definitely see why people wouldn't. We were so tired!
I agree with the above- wayyy too tired!
what is consummate?
yer with the bridesmaid,boy was it fun

Advice from couples who go to different schools?
My best friend and I...decided to become a couple about a month ago. We're both high school seniors, but we go to different schools. It's not terribly far; we're both about a 20 minute drive away from each other.
It's been weird dating someone you don't necessarily get to see every single day. Has anyone ever been in a relationship like this? Any tips or obstacles?Advice from couples who go to different schools?
well, its not that wierd. we went to a diff schools and it was actually good.. we had so much to share with each other. talk to each other once in a day, atleast to say a ';good nite';.. i call my guy ever mornin to wake him up... it feels special.. n u just gotta trust each other..Advice from couples who go to different schools?
my boyfriend and i went to different schools. it was better for us, because i'm not in to all the clingy hand holding and NEEDING to be together at every moment of the day. so for us to have our distance worked out better. but at that point, we talked on the phone a couple nights a week if not every night. it really depends on how close you guys are.

Christians, atheists and others; do you think same-sex couples should be able to adopt children?
Seeing as there is a constant demand for adoptive parents (particular in poorer overseas countries) and these needs can never be fully satisfied with the current number of heterosexual adoptive parents - why wouldn't it be okay for a same-sex couple to adopt children?
Wouldn't it be beneficial to a child that would never live in a stable household to have a greater chance of being adopted and cared for?
Note: this is directly mostly at those who oppose same-sex adoptive parents.Christians, atheists and others; do you think same-sex couples should be able to adopt children?
If they are fit people based off the rest of their character, and can provide safe loving homes for children I see nothing wrong with this. And I see nothing about a persons sexual orientation that does not involve kids that would negatively effect a child.Christians, atheists and others; do you think same-sex couples should be able to adopt children?
I have seen studies that show it is not beneficial for the child to be adopted by parents of the same sex, that they need a mother and a father. I've seen others even going so far as to say that it is dangerous in the case of two males adopting a child based on some unsubstantiated claims that link homosexuality to pedophilia. None of those really amounted to anything.
What we do know is that children typically are better off in a family with a loving mother and father, than they are with only a single parent.
What does that say about homosexual couples adopting? Not much.
Personally I think it's fine as long as the child is raised in a loving and nurturing home.
I wanted to answer only to add a non-religious concern. I have no questions on gay %26amp; having full rights. On adoption, I've wondered if the man %26amp; female role models in a home are important to a healthy upbringing. From that point of view, %26amp; only that point of view if studies showed an issue with children raised in homosexual households above other situations, then I'd want to take a look at it. I have no idea what's out there now in studies.
On a more practical note, if it's a choice between that or foster care - a no brainer of course. Also, with so many single parent homes, I'm not sure the role model question could come up by comparision.
Why I raise any concern within myself is that I remember studies from school about the difference even simple things like how much a father played with his girl children made in their science grades -- so role models matter. (The studies has nothing to do with homosexuality.) But who's to say when a cousin or friend of the parents won't be there to fill in those areas too?
I wanted to answer with this only because, the only other comments I'm seeing are from religous orientation which is just so much hooey in my opinion, %26amp; wanted to express one outside the religious arena.
I am a Christian who opposes homosexuality. However, sometimes we must accept something we don't agree with, because it is less evil than the alternative. I do not like the idea of same-sex couples adopting, but I do not think it is as bad as letting children suffer in poverty and homelessness. I would encourage Christians and others with traditional values to adopt more children or support those who do. But there are so many children, that some could be adopted by well-screened same-sex couples.
A very large number of adoption agencies are run by Christian charities and should definitely stick to their policies of requiring Christian heterosexual parents. But government agencies can use same-sex couples as I discussed above.
';Christians, atheists and others; do you think same-sex couples should be able to adopt children?';
No.
';why wouldn't it be okay';
If you can't procreate, you don't need kids. If its a male and a female, and one is sterile its fine to adopt a kid, the opposite genders balance out. Same sex parents? Sick sick people %26gt;_%26lt; How would you like growing up having a father figure that was female? or a mother figure that was a male? Its absolutely repulsive.
Ugh, Its sickening to think of a Child growing up with two Males or two Females, one being the 'mother' and one being the 'father' its absolutely abhorrent. I don't see how people can be so accepting of something so unnatural its totally sickening. What is the world coming to?

***Wouldn't it be beneficial to a child that would never live in a stable household to have a greater chance of being adopted and cared for?***
What do you call stable? How do you prove something is right?
Let's do like Obama wants and let babies die in the hands of doctors without care so we don't have to answer another one of these hypothetical questions.
If another religion doesn't believe in homo-sexual relationships, why do you have to but in? Why can't you let them have their opinion? Why do you have to be so judgmental about what someone else believes? Can't gays get along with others without always trying to convert them their beliefs? Gosh! I mean really.
As long as they are able to provide a stable home and income and they can provide a friend or family member of the opposite sex to give that child a balanced set of role models then I have no problem with same-sex couples adopting. Our orphanages are so overrun with abused and neglected children, I don't care who they get it from or what their sexual practices are but these children need a stable, loving environment where they can grow, learn and play. These children don't need to be shuffled back and forth between foster homes.
As a Christian, I think that the government should stay out of the process as much as possible. For example, we cannot adopt and it isn't because no one is willing to give us their baby, it's because we can't afford it due to the government. This should be a choice between the adults that are involved. If the real parents abandon, then I understand, to an extent, the government involvement. With that said, homosexuality isn't the sin that I fear that will be ingrained within the child; rather, disbelief is. That will be an issue no matter where the child is placed; therefore, I suppose it's out of my hands and really none of my business. I would love for all to believe in God, obviously; however, I also don't want children to be placed in an abusive and unloving home. So, with all that said, I suppose I have no real opinion. Thankfully, in Heaven, this will no longer be an issue.
I'm a Christian, and I have no problem with same sex couples adopting children, as long as they pass the same standards that a heterosexual couple would have to pass and they are both strongly committed to each other and to raising a child.
I figure having a stable family that loves you (even if it's not the ';traditional' family) is a heck of a lot better than being shuffled between foster homes or raised in and orphanage or something somewhere...
YES! My partner and I are currently in the adoption process right now in NY state. NY laws not only allow same sex couples to adopt, but fully protect our right to do so. We have just as much love and hope to give to a child as anyone else does, so why should anyone have the right to deny us that? The USA has come a long way in ending most of the the discrimination against people due to their skin color, religion, etc., but we continue to have legalized discrimination against same sex couples. It baffles me that we are denied the right to get married to the one we love (in most states), adopt children together (in some states), and can't get medical benefits from our ';spouse's'; employer (in most places). Sorry for the rant, but what if we applied this treatment to people from Finland, or to people who are left-handed? Wouldn't we say that is illegal discrimination? For some reason, even thought it's almost 2009, we are still considered sub-human just because we are gay. Amazing!
Absolutely, yes.
To begin with, with immediate effect, I'd allow same-sex couples to adopt one another's children. There are many who have had children of their own, and live with a same-sex partner. At present, if the child's natural parent should die, they will be taken away from the only other parent they ever knew and whisked away to an orphanage.
Love is love, spread the wealth of it
As long as a child is raised in a loving home, shut up and let them live!
To love and care for children is GOD's greatest commandment.
For some couples, Gay or Straight, it's the only way they may have kids. Let them have kids, and let them raise them well!
';Raise up a child, in the way that he shall go; and when he is older he shall not depart from it';
Raise up a kid in a house filled with loving, caring parents.
GOD loves everybody! teach 'em that!
God loves you as you are, if He wants you to change, HE will change you, not somebody else.
Voting no, on prop 8 in CA
Fair, is fair!
It is not for me to judge, anybody!
';There but for the grace of GOD go I';
';While we were yet sinners, he died for our sins!';
If GOD accepts you as you are now, who am I to judge?
i don't oppose it.... the two main reasons that many people oppose it are because
1. a child should have a man and women in their life
if this was true single parents wouldn't be fit to raise children
2. if a gay raises a child that child will be gay
if your gay your not taught to be gay.... i know people who have been gay since before they even knew what it meant to be gay
as a Christian why would I not let a fellow person love a child in need? It seems silly and contradictory. The Church's stance on homosexuality is out-dated. It is based on the premise that homosexuality is a choice. This is not true which means that other Christians can no longer say they are making a conscious decision in free will to be sinful. The church's stance is equivalent to saying African Americans are sinful because they are black.
I think it is fine.
There are children in want of parents. Unless the parents are abusive, I think it is fine to let anyone (single parents, gay parents, etc) adopt a child.
Most of those kids don't HAVE parents. I'm sure 1 parent or gay parents is much better than no parents.
yes, it should be okay. better two same sex parents than no parents. what kind of idiot would argue against that?
that's true poohcat1, but consider this. if you take the same child and put him in a heterosexual household, the other kids will just make fun of him for something else.
yes I do believe they should be able to adopt. I know a few gay couples that have and they are wonderful parents. I know some however that aren't but irregardless of sexual preference what makes a good parent is the love they have for the child.
I don't believe it is wrong. If what same sex couples say about being born gay is true, children will not necessarily follow in their footsteps. The only problem I see is the likelihood that the kids will be teased or shunned by some others. That would hurt them...a lot.
Yes, why would it not be okay, do you really think we could do a poorer job than the less than perfect heterosexual parents of today?
It's very telling how every person in opposition is so, because of religion.
if they meet the same requirements of straight adoptive parents, absolutely.
get a grip people, this isn't a theocracy, and you have no right to impose your religion on others.
As long as they meet the standard for the adoption agency, then go for it. I don't see what's the deal is. My biological father is gay. Doesn't bother me any, I still love women, boobs, and all that.
Why shouldn't they ?
I hereby dedicate this song to this who say they shouldn't be allowed to adopt .......
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i6OrOZwt…
Adoption is good no matter what kind of couple as long as a less fortunate or homeless/ parentless child is getting love, support and education b it from any quarter.
Homosexual couples should be subject to the same parenting criteria as heterosexual couples - no more, no less.
A child deserves love and stability. If the parents are going to raise the child with an open mind, I see no reason for anyone not to be able to adopt.
I think that as long as the child is provided with the love and care he/she needs to grow up in a caring environment, I don't see anything wrong with it......
Yes, I believe that same sex couples should be allowed to adopt children.
No I don't believe they should adopt children. Since I think Homosexuality is against the laws of God I don't think that homosexual couples should be allowed to adopt. To me it is not beneficial for a child to live with a couple who is living against the will of God.
And actually there is a constant demand of heterosexual couples who want to adopt as well. This to me is actually another reason God wants us to be heterosexual so we can have children. If that weren't true then we would be asexual. You make the choice to be homosexual you take the consequences of that decision.
God Bless,
Michelle
No, due to the fact that gay couples are breaking down the family structure planned by God and these children will be brought up within a dysfunctional family unit that is against the will of God. I do realize you two are not christian and are not looking for this type of answer, but I answer in response to God's Word, the Bible. God bless
No. I would like to see your statistics on the needs not being satisfied with traditional families. I've heard that the number of abortions almost equals all of the families that want to adopt. Of course, I don't have a reference, but maybe you do.
No. Allowing it would be going against the laws of our God. Hasn't mankind learned anything from our past mistakes with God?
Wouldn't it be beneficial to a child that would never live in a stable household to have a greater chance of being adopted and cared for?

Love is love, spread the wealth of it
As long as a child is raised in a loving home, shut up and let them live!
To love and care for children is GOD's greatest commandment.
For some couples, Gay or Straight, it's the only way they may have kids. Let them have kids, and let them raise them well!
';Raise up a child, in the way that he shall go; and when he is older he shall not depart from it';
Raise up a kid in a house filled with loving, caring parents.
GOD loves everybody! teach 'em that!
God loves you as you are, if He wants you to change, HE will change you, not somebody else.
Voting no, on prop 8 in CA
Fair, is fair!
It is not for me to judge, anybody!
';There but for the grace of GOD go I';
';While we were yet sinners, he died for our sins!';
If GOD accepts you as you are now, who am I to judge?
i don't oppose it.... the two main reasons that many people oppose it are because
1. a child should have a man and women in their life
if this was true single parents wouldn't be fit to raise children
2. if a gay raises a child that child will be gay
if your gay your not taught to be gay.... i know people who have been gay since before they even knew what it meant to be gay
as a Christian why would I not let a fellow person love a child in need? It seems silly and contradictory. The Church's stance on homosexuality is out-dated. It is based on the premise that homosexuality is a choice. This is not true which means that other Christians can no longer say they are making a conscious decision in free will to be sinful. The church's stance is equivalent to saying African Americans are sinful because they are black.
I think it is fine.
There are children in want of parents. Unless the parents are abusive, I think it is fine to let anyone (single parents, gay parents, etc) adopt a child.
Most of those kids don't HAVE parents. I'm sure 1 parent or gay parents is much better than no parents.
yes, it should be okay. better two same sex parents than no parents. what kind of idiot would argue against that?
that's true poohcat1, but consider this. if you take the same child and put him in a heterosexual household, the other kids will just make fun of him for something else.
yes I do believe they should be able to adopt. I know a few gay couples that have and they are wonderful parents. I know some however that aren't but irregardless of sexual preference what makes a good parent is the love they have for the child.
I don't believe it is wrong. If what same sex couples say about being born gay is true, children will not necessarily follow in their footsteps. The only problem I see is the likelihood that the kids will be teased or shunned by some others. That would hurt them...a lot.
Yes, why would it not be okay, do you really think we could do a poorer job than the less than perfect heterosexual parents of today?
It's very telling how every person in opposition is so, because of religion.
if they meet the same requirements of straight adoptive parents, absolutely.
get a grip people, this isn't a theocracy, and you have no right to impose your religion on others.
As long as they meet the standard for the adoption agency, then go for it. I don't see what's the deal is. My biological father is gay. Doesn't bother me any, I still love women, boobs, and all that.
Why shouldn't they ?
I hereby dedicate this song to this who say they shouldn't be allowed to adopt .......
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i6OrOZwt…
Adoption is good no matter what kind of couple as long as a less fortunate or homeless/ parentless child is getting love, support and education b it from any quarter.
Homosexual couples should be subject to the same parenting criteria as heterosexual couples - no more, no less.
A child deserves love and stability. If the parents are going to raise the child with an open mind, I see no reason for anyone not to be able to adopt.
I think that as long as the child is provided with the love and care he/she needs to grow up in a caring environment, I don't see anything wrong with it......
Yes, I believe that same sex couples should be allowed to adopt children.
No I don't believe they should adopt children. Since I think Homosexuality is against the laws of God I don't think that homosexual couples should be allowed to adopt. To me it is not beneficial for a child to live with a couple who is living against the will of God.
And actually there is a constant demand of heterosexual couples who want to adopt as well. This to me is actually another reason God wants us to be heterosexual so we can have children. If that weren't true then we would be asexual. You make the choice to be homosexual you take the consequences of that decision.
God Bless,
Michelle
No, due to the fact that gay couples are breaking down the family structure planned by God and these children will be brought up within a dysfunctional family unit that is against the will of God. I do realize you two are not christian and are not looking for this type of answer, but I answer in response to God's Word, the Bible. God bless
No. I would like to see your statistics on the needs not being satisfied with traditional families. I've heard that the number of abortions almost equals all of the families that want to adopt. Of course, I don't have a reference, but maybe you do.
No. Allowing it would be going against the laws of our God. Hasn't mankind learned anything from our past mistakes with God?
Are the couples using surrogacy ';morally or ethically'; any better than a Pervert soliciting sex?
They both want to help themselves to a woman's body, in way or another.
They both only have interest in helping the woman financially (so she can feed her kids) if she's willing to put out or give them what they want.
Are the couples using surrogacy ';morally or ethically'; any better than a Pervert soliciting sex?
Both are buying the time-limited use of a woman's reproductive organs. I don't see much difference.
They are just prostitution in different forms.
I also have to ask:
- Is reproductive exploitation any more ethical than sexual exploitation?
- Are sexual predators and reproductive predators (both of whom search for vulnerable women and minor to exploit -- one for sex and one for a baby) any different? Are the couples using surrogacy ';morally or ethically'; any better than a Pervert soliciting sex?
There are some surrogates that don鈥檛 do it for the money but do it because they feel they are giving a couple the baby that they couldn鈥檛 have otherwise. Whether that is carrying the couple鈥檚 biological child or donating her own egg. I wouldn鈥檛 be a surrogate nor use a surrogate but its not for anyone else to judge how someone decideds to go about building their family. I wouldn鈥檛 compare it to paying money for sex. In the far - future there will probably be no need for surrogates because they find some way to grow babies like in giant glass tube in the lab.
Why is all the negative feelings towards surrogacy pointed at the surrogacy baby鈥檚 parents? The surrogate also makes a decision to do it and in most cases they join a surrogacy place where they are matched with a couple/person. They make a choice to be a surrogate. The laws vary from state to state but there are states where you can鈥檛 pay someone to be your surrogate though can pay for their medical bills and heath care while they are pregnant. No ones holding a gun to surrogates head forcing her to be a surrogate. If one is doing it because times are bad that鈥檚 truly too bad but there are other things that can be done other then feeling you have to carry another couples baby or donate your womb and egg for 9months.
It's a lot different.
If a woman wants to pay for sex, and a woman is WILLING, not human trafficking, but is willing to sell sex, then there isn't really much of a problem.
Just another business deal.
Surrogacy, however, brings another life into the equation, and all too often that new life is ignored.
That, to me, is far worse.
Personally, if a woman wants to prostitute herself, and men want her to, I see no problem with it at all.
It is her right to do whatever she wishes with her body, and if men wish to pay, fine.
But in surrogacy, there is little or no regard to the emotional effect that surrogacy will have on the child. There is never anything mentioned about the confusion over motherhood, genes, birth stories etc.
They are only helping themselves- to get a ';baby'; any way they can...and usually, one that has at LEAST 1/2 their dna.
Thats what cracks me up with ap's, whether they adopt the traditional way, or go this route- they ';claim'; dna doesn't matter when their regular adopted kid searches for their birth family, yet they will go as far as to pay some chick to wh%26amp;re out her uterus to give them daddy's little carbon copy. Oh, the hypocrisy indeed.
Baby selling in any way is wrong.
You are kidding, right?
When are you people going to lay off this crap and let it be? it does not concern you.
It concerns couples who want babies but cannot have them themselves.Sure, foster care is available..but when you want to raise a BABY, that isn't an option.
Surrogate mothers put themselves out there for that position.It is not a choice that was on a whim.Pregnancy is serious business.
The fact that you are even comparing the two shows your lack of maturity and open mindedness.
So, when a mother carries a child for her adult daughter who cannot physically carry a child to term, or when a sister or best friend does the same thing, is this the same as prostitution too?
I've heard a lot of women say that they've considered being a surrogate, and think it would be a good thing to do- I've definetly never heard anyone say that about being a prostitute.
Puleeeez.....another baiting question. What, do you think these things happen in a hotel that rents by the hour?
I know a surrogate mother--and she didn't do it for the $$ so your black and white statement doesn't apply. And ';helping themselves'; isn't exactly how surrogacy occurs.
Surrogacy and a man paying for sex, are, to me, two very different things.
But, that's just my opinion.
Yeah it's sick. I have a friend who I'm trying to talk out of it. She wants to use it as a way to pay off her wedding. It's no different than prostituting (Excluding MK's case).
notsomuch. when you pay for a service, such as prostiution, buying a baby, etc.....
it's all the same thing. human trafficking.
yep...
you even get to experience his ';love juice';.... hell, it's a ';tukey-baster'; hook up!!!
it sounds like a bad porn flick.
i just made myself physically ill...

How do I convice my fiancee to do some couples therapy?
We have been together for over 6 years and are now engaged. There are some issues that we have fought over for years and I would like to figure out how we can deal with /resolve them before we get married. Since he proposed he has started getting anry with me really easily. Any advice?How do I convice my fiancee to do some couples therapy?
if he doesn't want to go, you can't make him.
And if he doesn't think they are serious enough, and you do, or he denies there are problems at all, then you may want to reconsider certain things about the relationship before you get married. I think you might need to have ';the talk.'; Engagement and wedding planning is stressfull, but take a step back and really ask yourself if he's the same man he was when you first started dating, or if he's really the man you want to marry.
If they're serious enough to you, but not to him, that's a red flag. Getting irritable and angry easily is a red flag. You need to work this out before you get married.How do I convice my fiancee to do some couples therapy?
Split immediately, it could get worse once married
if you are already having problems you should think real hard before you get married.
getting angry with you easly you better watch out befiore u do a big step!! try telling him that what he says or does hurts you and if he wanst this to work out then you shoudl see couples therapy! hope this helps!!
GOOD LUCK
Please do not post this problem in the mental health section. There are many here trying to figure life out and you will confuse them.
Yes, the relationship where the fianc茅 is already angry and where there are unresolved issues, does indeed raise red flags. You're right to want to work this out before you can get married. Present him, if you must, with an ultimatum that you cant get married to someone who doesnt respect your feelings enough to wnat to make the relationship work. So you must resolve the issue or else.
let him know his a%%26amp; doesn't have a choice. Counseling is VEERRRYYYY IMPORTANT. You may even learn things that can help you approach situations better.
I would think VERY carefully abut marrying someone I think needs therapy!! Is it possible that he would be more willing to try if YOU went in with him to couples therapy?
Tell him you want your marriage to have a good chance and to do that you would like to sign both of you up for couples therapy. If after 4 sessions if he doesn't feel like it's making a positive difference you'll back off....but he has to make the effort.
Couples therapy can really help to get your marriage off to a good healthy start.
Good luck.
I think before you say I does you need to talk to someone who can give you good advice. If he is easily angered before marriage it probable won't get any better after words. There were signs before I got married and I was blinded. A therapist would be a good thing and if he loves you enough and wants to marry you, he would do this. I wish I could have been more help but at least you have a chance to start your knew life out on the right foot.eye liquid

Can Muslim couples swing with other muslim couples?Is it encouraged in Islam for couples to have frequent sex?
some muslim friends told me that swinging with other couples is ok. i just need some clarification on that? because me and my wife do swing with others. but she loves it and we do it regularly and my wife has fun. and do muslim couples have regular sex on a day to day basis?Can Muslim couples swing with other muslim couples?Is it encouraged in Islam for couples to have frequent sex?
uuuuuuhhhhh no!
How are we supposed to know how often over one billion Muslims have sex? Everyone is different.Can Muslim couples swing with other muslim couples?Is it encouraged in Islam for couples to have frequent sex?
well in the quran it says a man must have sex with his wife at least every 4 months
Do agree with the first answer u received, except with the birth control part which is allowed only in case if pregnancy would be life threatening to the mother, otherwise its not encouraged opr allowed....
for the second answer, funny thing he thinks that ';four people having sex in the same time'; aint weird or kind of disgusting, but thinks that limiting sex between wife and husband is superstitous....
i didnt know that this zoo sex aint harmful, how about th STD ';sexually transmitted diseases'; spreading each day ,innocent children born every moment because a man and a woman wanted to have a hot night, even if they did abortion, then hindreds or millions of souls are killed each and every single moment.....all this following zoo sex...
As a conclusion, only one thing to say..im proud to be a Muslim.
swinging is haram (forbidden) in Islam. what your friend told you is TOTALLY WRONG. actually it is the OPPOSITE. muslims do not exhibit sexual behavior in front of other people. sex is a private matter for you to pursue within the four walls of your home.
If you mean have sex with other couples then no it is not allowed.
Muslims are like all others, some have more frequent sex than others, birth control is allowed in Islam.
Muslims can only have sex with their married partners.
Depends where you live. If you live in North America, where you are free to do anything so long it doesnt cause harm to others, four people can have sex if they want. But not the case where old superstitous ideas rule.
Your muslim friends that told you that are not practising muslims.
Its forbidden to mix with other couples and have sex
HARAM, HARAM AND HARAM
you have a wife enjoy together!
Yeah man they are all about the swinging and the love and freedom. That's why they love America so much
No, but you can have ten wives and have an orgy.
U and your wife R free to have sex whenever U want

Why do couples usually love woman-on-top positions if the husband is white and wife is asian?
some researchers conducted a survey which mainly targets at ';White guy + asian woman '; couple. The white guy is usually tall and muscular and asian wife is petite.
The research conclusion comes out. They usually love women-on-top positon. I get confused. Why does this happen ? What are the adavantages?
Is woman-on-top a good position for pregnancy?
Give your views , thanks
Why do couples usually love woman-on-top positions if the husband is white and wife is asian?
Well....you have gravity working against ya...but you can get pregnant in ANY position really...so uhWhy do couples usually love woman-on-top positions if the husband is white and wife is asian?
For pregnancy I can see the advantages because there is no pressure on the belly.
When trying to conceive however, it isn't a good position because gravity is against you keeping the semen inside.
Honestly, I don't think the WOT position has anything to do with the couple's race.
The WOT position is way more conducive to clitoral stimulation across cultures since the clitoris is located outside of the vagina.
Asian women are usually petite and thus...well, for lack of a better word, tight. Woman on top allows the woman to control the level of penetration so she doesn't get hurt.
i'm asian and i love being on top! i'm getting aroused just the thought of it. why?----i've no idea.... it just feels mind blowing
mary does have a good point- it's more comfortable being on top.
uhh i don't really think the races are a factor. it's personal preference. you're a bit stereotypical, aren't ya?
Who knows, but yes, girl on top is the perfect position for pregnancy. =]
Why is infidelity considered grounds for divorce for most couples?
A considered reply would be much appreciated. I am curious about the efficacy of monogamy.Why is infidelity considered grounds for divorce for most couples?
It almost destroyed my marriage and here's the answer!
Men are Visually motivated, where women are emotionally motivated!
so if either of these are violated then you have a situation that will be ground for just about anything including violence, divorce and worse!
My marriage survived but GOD the hell we went though was nothing I could do again!
Monogamy save the DRAMA and keeps the marriage at least when both party's are involved in it a chance at building something to be proud of, and that would be a life together~Why is infidelity considered grounds for divorce for most couples?
Well when you get married you are supposed to do so forsaking all others. This is an agreement you enter into between you, your spouse and God. Breaking this agreement is grounds for divorce. Now, if you are not a religious person and do not cotton to this answer then you probably don't need to get married in the first place since it is a holy union and if you do not believe in a God then why go through the motions. Without God a wedding is nothing but a pretty parade and a nice party.
When you get married, usually the desired outcome is a lifetime with the other person. If you are not faithful in that then once again, what are you doing it for? If you cannot commit then just walk away, even if your spouse agrees and you guys have an ';open marriage';, which is a joke.
It is grounds for divorce because it is a breech of the marriage contract. When you get married you are agreeing to only have sex with your spouse. This insures that any children that are born belong to both people, that no one brings home diseases, and that all the families resources and energy is used to better the family and not an extramarital affair.
top reason is money,t
hen Infidelity.
Poor communication
Change in priorities. This can be caused by having kids or due to ones job, big things.
Lack of commitment to the marriage.
Sexual problems.
Other reasons that come up frequently, but not as frequently are:
Addictions
Failed expectations of your spouse (believing one is a super hero or that he/she can fix or be everything to or for you)
Physical, emotional or sexual abuse.
Personally if my husband cheated on me I would feel like he doesn't love me, feel there is someone out there better for him, I would feel the need to always compare myself to others, feel that he didn't take our vows to heart, feel that he was selfish, feel that he had no respect for me at all, feel that he was unattracted to me..
I would never want to continue to feel this way throughout my whole life, therefore if he cheated on me I would have to get a divorce.
Because it's the worst kind of betrayal that doesn't involve physical harm. Short of hitting your spouse with a car or a baseball bat, there's very little you can do to cause them more pain than committing infidelity.
Because you pledge your commitment to your spouse. There should never be anything outside of the marriage that is not agreed upon by both.
Touching your cousin at the family BBQ is OK, Loosey. It's when you grope the cousin's wife that things get iffy.
Because it's usually considered a breach of contract.
Because it breaks the marriage bond.
First of all, it breaks the contract between your spouse and God. For US, we both promised before God, and family and friends, to FORSAKE ALL OTHERS......betraying another human is one thing, betraying God is something I wouldn't even want to THINK about. A marriage between Catholics is not a Twosome....it is a Holy Trinity of God, Husband and Wife......so when you betray your spouse, you betray our Lord as well......
We are married until death do we part. Adultery KILLS the contract, thus having ';Until Death'; do we part.
It almost destroyed my marriage and here's the answer!
Men are Visually motivated, where women are emotionally motivated!
so if either of these are violated then you have a situation that will be ground for just about anything including violence, divorce and worse!

This insures that any children that are born belong to both people, that no one brings home diseases, and that all the families resources and energy is used to better the family and not an extramarital affair.
top reason is money,t
hen Infidelity.
Poor communication
Change in priorities. This can be caused by having kids or due to ones job, big things.
Lack of commitment to the marriage.
Sexual problems.
Other reasons that come up frequently, but not as frequently are:
Addictions
Failed expectations of your spouse (believing one is a super hero or that he/she can fix or be everything to or for you)
Physical, emotional or sexual abuse.
Personally if my husband cheated on me I would feel like he doesn't love me, feel there is someone out there better for him, I would feel the need to always compare myself to others, feel that he didn't take our vows to heart, feel that he was selfish, feel that he had no respect for me at all, feel that he was unattracted to me..
I would never want to continue to feel this way throughout my whole life, therefore if he cheated on me I would have to get a divorce.
Because it's the worst kind of betrayal that doesn't involve physical harm. Short of hitting your spouse with a car or a baseball bat, there's very little you can do to cause them more pain than committing infidelity.
Because you pledge your commitment to your spouse. There should never be anything outside of the marriage that is not agreed upon by both.
Touching your cousin at the family BBQ is OK, Loosey. It's when you grope the cousin's wife that things get iffy.
Because it's usually considered a breach of contract.
Because it breaks the marriage bond.
First of all, it breaks the contract between your spouse and God. For US, we both promised before God, and family and friends, to FORSAKE ALL OTHERS......betraying another human is one thing, betraying God is something I wouldn't even want to THINK about. A marriage between Catholics is not a Twosome....it is a Holy Trinity of God, Husband and Wife......so when you betray your spouse, you betray our Lord as well......
We are married until death do we part. Adultery KILLS the contract, thus having ';Until Death'; do we part.

Advice from couples who go to different schools?
My best friend and I...decided to become a couple about a month ago. We're both high school seniors, but we go to different schools. It's not terribly far; we're both about a 20 minute drive away from each other.
It's been weird dating someone you don't necessarily get to see every single day. Has anyone ever been in a relationship like this? Any tips or obstacles?Advice from couples who go to different schools?
When I was in high school I never dated anyone from my school. I loved not seeing my boyfriend everyday because it gave me time to myself or to hang out with my friends. It also made the time that we spent together even better since we weren't able to see each other on a daily basis.
My advice to you is to enjoy time that you spend apart as much as the time you spend together. You'll have a better grip on the relationship, and it's less likely for unhealthy attachments (ie. ';I'll die without him) to develop.Advice from couples who go to different schools?
well im a freshman and have been through this, the thing to make it work is that you have to talk to him everyday so it never gets old and then try and see him whenever you can.
i assume you have a car, meet him half way.
you both have to put effort in for it to work and i'm pretty sure you can.
you just have to talk to each other and make sure you guys see each other more than once a week...
maybe 2-3 atleast.

What do you think of matching aloha wear for couples?
Depends on the pattern? Or just plain dorky? Please indicate if you are a local or a visitor.What do you think of matching aloha wear for couples?
Really lame....can you say TOURIST!!!!What do you think of matching aloha wear for couples?
Welllllllllll, considering my husband and I have three matching Aloha wear (he in his shirt and I in my mu'u mu'u), we think it is great!!
We are visitors from mainland, Michigan. We have been to Oahu six times and love it!
I have even bought material from the Fabric Mart in Honolulu!! Nothing wrong with aloha wear as I can see!
..
plain dorky ..
=.=
its kinda weird seing couples wearing matching aloha
You know, there is the hokey line of Aloha wear from Hilo Hatties that tourist all think is cool, and then there is the very nice, but expensive matching Aloha shirt and Muumuu at Mamo Hao. If you wear the matching stuff on the mainland to your church Hawaiian night, its okay. But if you go out formally in Hawaii, it is more okay to have the Mamo clothes. Loud is not what you are looking for, nice patterns and conservative is better.
It is the uniform of the traveler, along with the white tennis shoes. I am from next door in California.
Yeah....I would say that's ultra corny....with whip cream on top.....eye liquid

How many couples on there wedding night did not have sex?
So my husband and I lived together for about 6 months before we were married, we have been married almost 19yrs and he brought up last night that he did not get ';lucky'; on our wedding night, we had a healthy sex life but I had had to much champagne and food and got sick that night.How many couples on there wedding night did not have sex?
Not i. I got my last bj from my wife on her wedding night i guess that old saying is true.How many couples on there wedding night did not have sex?
Haha, yeah, I didn't either. The night was so busy and exhausting and then the room we got wasn't that great and we just ended up calling it a night. We made up for it the next day though.
I think it is actually pretty common, although many probably don't admit it. Especially for those of us who were already living together before the marriage. If we had been waiting it probably would have been a different story.
Lived together for 2 years before getting married. After the ceremony (which was held in our home) we helped clean up and left for a trip through the rest of New England and New York State.
We left home at 6PM and by 9PM were in New York State and just too damn tired to drive any further. Stooped for the night at a hotel, didn't even eat. just showered and both of us collapsed in bed and that was that.
Besides...there was plenty of time to make up for lost opportunities anyway.
I've known a few people who have gotten married and did not have sex on their wedding night. These people, of course, have had sex before they were married. They were just too tired to do it!
we had sex on our wedding night. we were in jamaica and it was fantastic.
Well...we sorta did. My wife was a virgin till we were officially married, so let's just say I only got a few inches in, but we were naked and having fun!!
no, we didn't. ';the visitor'; hit that night, so we had to wait about a week....I could set my watch by my wife's period now...LOL
We did..... twice.... lol :*)
Yes, we didn't on the wedding night! There was a bad storm that night! The lights and the sirens were going off and we had to spend most of the time in the hallways. Then when it was over we were way to tired for anything! So, on our first anniversary we went back to the same hotel and that night wasn't good either! I look back and I think it was a sign for us that things weren't going to last! We tried to 7 yrs. Just remember that was us!
If you have had sex before your wedding night, then I guess it doesn't really make a difference, but when you're either virgins, or you both have abstained, then I think you need wedding night sex. After waiting, you're not tired, believe me.
wow how can you remember 19 years ago? It sounds like your husband is stuck in the past and likes to dwell on the past. Does he talk about his abusive childhood that happened like 40 years ago? what a bummer!
Yes my husband and I had sex on our wedding night...
Most couples actually don't consummate their marriage on their wedding night. The day is so long that by the time it's over, you are both tired. My husband and I made it a point to though. ;)
we didnt have sex on our wedding night.. but that was because we had sex before our wedding :O
We got home and went to bed, we were exhausted from our day!! It is perfectly OK.

Do you go to Heaven if you introduce three couples who get married?
I've heard that there is a Jewish belief that you go to Heaven if you serve as matchmaker for three couples. Is this a true Jewish belief? Would a rabbi agree with this? Do you know anyone who has made it to Heaven using this strategy?Do you go to Heaven if you introduce three couples who get married?
I've got my doubts about that. Marriage may be made in Heaven. . .
. . .but so is thunder and lightening.Do you go to Heaven if you introduce three couples who get married?
That won't get anyone into heaven. Works never pay for sins.
Only JESUS is acceptable payment for our sins.
Jesus is God, and Jesus loves you so very much! :D
The truth about Jesus is that the only way to be saved and to get into heaven and avoid being sent to eternal hell, is by believing in faith alone that Jesus, who is God, died on the cross for all our sins as FULL PAYMENT for all our sins, and then Jesus rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Believe in Jesus alone for salvation, and you will be in heaven, no matter what!
Salvation is a FREE GIFT that happens in a split second when you believe in Jesus alone to save you! It is impossible to lose or ';leave'; salvation (John 6:39-40, John 10:28, 1 John 5:13).
Please pray now: ';Jesus, please forgive me of my sins. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and You rose from the dead. Thank You for eternal life!'; You will be in heaven with Him forever when you die! :D
I am not Jewish (by blood yes, not by faith) but I wonder, do you go to Hell if the marriages turn out bad? :)
Since it was YOUR Fault, the couples may demand justice from God for your bad Matchmaking.
No. Heaven is imaginary. When you're dead, that's the end of you.
No, how ridiculous!
No you won't go to heaven because of that. But you might set up your own matchmaking business. Got anyone for me?
No.
no

What is the best hotel in Las Vegas for couples ages 25-35?
We are planning a trip to Vegas around Easter and want the best crowd for our age group- plus the best pools! Any suggestions?What is the best hotel in Las Vegas for couples ages 25-35?
If you like music and dancing and drinking I would suggest either the Hard Rock or Mandalay Bay. They cater to that crowd. Also The Palms would be great and you might see celebrities. I'm not sure if the pools will be open by Easter...some might, but not sure. We will be in Vegas then too. Have fun!What is the best hotel in Las Vegas for couples ages 25-35?
The palms.
Caesar Palace.
The Mirage.
The Palms, Caesar's Palace, Bellagio...Mandalay Bay has a great pool with their own ';beach'; with waves included! Have fun!
Luxor, Ecalabur. MGM, NYNY, Sands, LV hilton
Close your eyes and pick one
Well I am 35 and love the crown and atmosphere at NY NY. I spend a lot of my time in that establishment when I am in town. Party party party. Resonably priced as well
Ceasers Palace - but choose the Palace Tower rooms as they have excellent marble bathrooms for couples - every room has an oversized spa bath - also ask for a room overlooking the fountains at Bellagio - pools are great and the hotel
is in the middle of the strip
Choose one of the older properies on the strip Riviera Stardust Etc. They ussually loose out to better known newer properies so their prices are alot more competitive %26amp; agressive. You will get the same great location at much less. Good Luck
mandalay bay has the best pools.it is pricey though.for a little less,the mirage has beautiful rooms and a very nice pool.
I was there last weekend and stayed at the Luxor, which was really nice. The pool looked nice, too cold to go in though.
I've lived there. If you're looking for one right on the strip, I would recommend New York- New York, Treasure Island, or Aladdin. Another one I'd recommend is the Rio or Palms, but they are slightly off the strip. I can't say about the pools though, I've only ever stayed in the Monte Carlo (booooring!) and the Excalibur (we were out on the strip too much to care about what was in our own casino). Good Luck choosing one!

I can't say about the pools though, I've only ever stayed in the Monte Carlo (booooring!) and the Excalibur (we were out on the strip too much to care about what was in our own casino). Good Luck choosing one!eye liquid
If you like music and dancing and drinking I would suggest either the Hard Rock or Mandalay Bay. They cater to that crowd. Also The Palms would be great and you might see celebrities. I'm not sure if the pools will be open by Easter...some might, but not sure. We will be in Vegas then too. Have fun!What is the best hotel in Las Vegas for couples ages 25-35?
The palms.
Caesar Palace.
The Mirage.
The Palms, Caesar's Palace, Bellagio...Mandalay Bay has a great pool with their own ';beach'; with waves included! Have fun!
Luxor, Ecalabur. MGM, NYNY, Sands, LV hilton
Close your eyes and pick one
Well I am 35 and love the crown and atmosphere at NY NY. I spend a lot of my time in that establishment when I am in town. Party party party. Resonably priced as well
Ceasers Palace - but choose the Palace Tower rooms as they have excellent marble bathrooms for couples - every room has an oversized spa bath - also ask for a room overlooking the fountains at Bellagio - pools are great and the hotel
is in the middle of the strip
Choose one of the older properies on the strip Riviera Stardust Etc. They ussually loose out to better known newer properies so their prices are alot more competitive %26amp; agressive. You will get the same great location at much less. Good Luck
mandalay bay has the best pools.it is pricey though.for a little less,the mirage has beautiful rooms and a very nice pool.
I was there last weekend and stayed at the Luxor, which was really nice. The pool looked nice, too cold to go in though.

Advice from couples who go to different schools?
My best friend and I...decided to become a couple about a month ago. We're both high school seniors, but we go to different schools. It's not terribly far; we're both about a 20 minute drive away from each other.
It's been weird dating someone you don't necessarily get to see every single day. Has anyone ever been in a relationship like this? Any tips or obstacles?Advice from couples who go to different schools?
This is a cool thing, it keeps your friends out of your business. You both can still talk on the phone, text and make dates to spend time together on the weekends. Besides, you might get tired of seeing him or her everyday, all day at school. Space is good sweetie, you two will work things out just fine. HAVE FUN!

Why do couples take a loan for buying a house ?
Do couples pay back the loan just in time ? Why can't the man just get the house and the money first ? Can the man nowadays depend only on him self without the wife's money ?Would it matter to wait for 10 years while earning money (marry about 30 yrs old) ?Why do couples take a loan for buying a house ?
If they wait 10 years, they will have a hard time saving money. And who wants to waste all that money on an apartment they will never own when they can buy a house and own it eventually?
Most mortgage loans are on a 30 year note.
Plus, most young people don't have $75,000 or more just sitting around to buy a house outright.Why do couples take a loan for buying a house ?
How you want to handle a loan application is your decision. Most couple apply for a mortgage together because the combined income allows them to qualify for a bigger or better house than one spouse on their own.
From a legal standpoint, I believe if the house is owned by only one spouse, if that person were to pass away, the house would have to go through probate and the other spouse could potentially lose the property if they are unable to pay all of the probate costs. It is usually easier to put a house in both peoples name.
It is similar to vehicles. Both of our vehicles are registered as ';My Name OR My Wifes Name';. By doing this we each have equal rights to the vehicle and it will not have to go through probate in the event of my death.
There are probably other reasons as well. I would call a mortgage officer at your bank and ask this same question.
Good Luck.
In a standard mortgage loan some of the principle, together with interest, is paid every month.
If you waited decades to get the money to buy a house you would have spent it in rent and built no equity. It is this growth in equity in a home you own as opposed to spending it on rent that is the fundamental premise of home ownership. And now it takes two incomes just to survive, so saving the money and buying a house for all cash in ten years is virtually impossible and highly unrealistic.
It is not so simple to just get the house and the money first. The savings rate in America is way down to almost nothing, debt is skyrocketing and milions are losing their homes through foreclosure. A big part of this problem is lax lending practices - giving loans to people who really cannot afford them and giving far to big loans to the rest. The practice of writing excessively large loans has helped to drive up housing prices for decades. Now the bubble has burst.
its not just couples hu take a loan when buying a house, it is most people who r buying as property is shooting through the roof more and more each day, and unless u have inherited money or have won the lottery, buying a house without a mortgage is near to impossible for the average male/ female/ couple..... and to answer ur quest can a man nowadays only depend on his money and not his wifes: up until the turn of last century, women hardly worked!! nowadays most women help to support their families, in a lot of cases 50 50 with the man, i as a woman supported my boyfriend through college and i am 21!!
dont forget that women are the ones looking after the children and that in itself is a HUGE job which i feel is underestimated by men and childless women.
waiting ten yrs to make money before you get married is a rubbish idea, depending on how old u r and how long you have been with the girl, if you both agree the other is ''the one'' why wait? waiting when you know u want to marry someone, especially if she WANTS to marry can put a stress on the relationship and can kleave one or more partner feeling lost, undervalued and unappreciated. if she doesnt mind to wait while you make some money then good on her. you do what is best for the relationship.
if you are single and you are asking if it would matter to wait ten yrs, then dont go out looking for a girl to marry until you are ready for marriage ( meaning until you have everything you want to have before you get married)
anyhow good luck hope this answers.....
if you were to wait to buy the house before getting married then you would not have that many people getting married.
Plus you would both want to pick out the house to live in.
Can you both wait 10 years to get married? That is a long time and a lot can happen in 10yrs..................................
because when you are married you are both responsible for the loan. yes some men can get the loan by themselves and some women too. no it wouldn't matter if they waited for 10 years, well for some.
coz they spend their every penny on honey moon and afterwards they have no shelter to hide and keep kids and pads.
