My wife wants me to go to a couples club called Encounters to swing. How do I tell her I hate Big Band music?

Also, this club charges $25 for men and is free for women to enter which seems unfair. I've had headaches lately and the last thing I want to do is spend my Friday listening to Big Band swing music. Maybe I should let her go alone?My wife wants me to go to a couples club called Encounters to swing. How do I tell her I hate Big Band music?
*ha *ha Well, you better go or she might Swing with another man.My wife wants me to go to a couples club called Encounters to swing. How do I tell her I hate Big Band music?
I can't stand Big Band music either! I would just send her by herself and let her go swing with some other people. I'll bet when she gets home she be worn out and ready to snuggle.





I let my wife go by herself and I can't believe how late those things go, she didn't get home until about 3:30 am!!! They must really dance a lot too because her clothes, her hair and her make up were all messed up. She also wasn't wearing any underwear either. I figured she worked up such a sweat dancing that she had to take them off in the bathroom or something.
If they charge $25 for men and free for women, it is a pretty clear indication that they need an added incentive to get women in the door, as the population of men is much greater. I suggest finding a different place with better music and a more evenly matched crowd.
I've got a good idea for you to save money. Dress as a woman and go with your wife as one of her friends. I think you need to check it out and not let your wife go alone. I'm also pretty sure you won't be there for very long, anyway.
Sure, let her go alone. Or you could wear earplugs. Maybe get aet to match the blinders you're already wearing.





And pick up some condoms, while you're at the pharmacy.





Good luck. I'm sure she'll enjoy the club.
I'd say go with her. Marriage is full of things you don't want to do, but you do it because it makes your woman happy. Yes, you love her that much that you'll go do something you hate with a headache.
Maybe you should learn what ';swing'; really is. And it has nothing to do with Big Band music!





If you want to end your marriage fast, then go with her - swinging will kill a marriage.
No I wouldn't go and I don't think she should either, I think she needs to see that you are in pain and try and help you :)
she knows you have been getting headaches lately so if you back out she will understand.....If you dont want to send her alone then tell her to take her bilingual friend along.
LOL...let her go alone.





Come to my house where it is quiet. Bring your ear plugs, in case I get loud.
wong kind of ';Swing';. Couples clubs are more like playgrounds with slides and monkey bars. Go! It will be fun!
yes, let her go alone. im sure shell be 'swinging' with another guy real soon!! :))
hey if you don't mind your ol'lady out there spreading them for other people neither do we so sh!t i say let her go
afraid ur 'band' wont match up to the other 'big bands' in the room?? =))
let her go alone.. hehe
Thanks. I needed to laugh today :-)
you said your wife was boring?

What are some cool Halloween costume ideas for couples?

I'm trying my best to avoid those cheesy and lame costumes (i.e. plug and outlet) and I have exhausted myself looking through websites and Halloween stores. I wouldn't mind creating a costume from scratch, as long as it's worth it. Thanks for the suggestions!What are some cool Halloween costume ideas for couples?

Why not go the Hollywood route? Lots of celebrity couples would make clever, and possibly cheap, costumes. Some ideas:





-Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie (Carry around a half-dozen Cabbage Patch kids of assorted race and gender)


-JLo and Marc Anthony (M.A. should be zombie/vampie, JLo should be holding twin babies)


-John McCain and Sarah Palin


-Britney and K-Fed


-Spencer and Heidi (from The Hills) as zombies/Children of the Corn


-Carrie and Big (from Sex and the City)


-New York and Tailor Made (from I Love New York)


-Michael Jackson and Pamela Anderson


-Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus


-Michael Phelps and his mom


-Misty May and Kerri Walsh


-Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson


-Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum


-Bert and Ernie (from Sesame Street)
what about some characters?

Is it me or is it disgusting when couples dress exactly alike on purpose?

I can understand an accident, but purposely dressing exactly alike is strange. Is this just my jaded perspective?Is it me or is it disgusting when couples dress exactly alike on purpose?
the worst were the burberry chavsIs it me or is it disgusting when couples dress exactly alike on purpose?
My senior friends , from high-school , tell me that when I get a boyfriend , I should never color coordinate with them or dress-alike or they will pop me in the head ... I don't understand why not . It's cute sometimes , but not all the time . Kinda disgusting ,yeah .haha .
I especially like the ones that finish each other's scentences and do their own talking for each other. They will insert a word into the other's statement.





It's very entertaining, and frightening all at the same time!
LOL, that sounds pretty cheesy, I dont know of any that do that, its a good thing though, I would probably tell them that they look stupid.
Those couples are usually the ones with the most skeletons in their closets.
what about matching license plates? I had a neighbor that did that. the wife had ';TruLov1'; and the husband had ';TruLov2';
Even worse is mothers/daughters dressing alike and fathers/sons
i dont think its disgusting or strange, to be honest it doesnt bother me. but while we are talking about what bothers me... what's with your avator......?
The wife has him brainwashed,, or she is great in bed
whatever tickles their fancy


Personally... i think its really sad! Lol


But Each to their own
I dress in the same attire as my wife
It's only cute when they are 80 years old;-)
i don't think it is as bad as when ';big'; girls where skimpy clothes that show a little too much!
Yes, this one guy looked like a blimey two-foot rule in those heels.
I think its creepy, and too corny and cheesy.
It`s oddball that`s for sure,
yeAH! ITS sooo WiErd!
LMAO
It is pretty weird
It's odd, but whatever floats their boat.
I hate that as well.
girls will say it's cute and guys will say he is whipped.
Ugh I hate it.


Makes me want to vomit.
no i think it's kinda cute verging on creepy
yeah its kinda really weird
meh...i couldnt' really care less


its ok i guess but i wouldn't do it
you mean in matching lingerie or what?
It's you.
i cant stand it either


i don't see many doing that though
no..


itz not strange..


ur jus jelous probably that u


dont have a boyfriend...


itz cute...and it shows tha love

Is Couples Negril all inclusive resort a swingers resort?

My husband and I are planning a trip to Couples Negril in Jamaica. I have heard from a friend that this could possibly be a swingers resort. We're just not into that kind of thing, and would like to know what we're in for before we get there. Thanks!Is Couples Negril all inclusive resort a swingers resort?
While it welcomes people of all walks of life, it does not specifically cater to swingers, neither are most of their clientele swingers. However there is a nude beach and adults are free to engage in these acts (not publicly of- course) if they so choose.Is Couples Negril all inclusive resort a swingers resort?
No, it isn't. I was at Couples Negril in 07 and I'm going back later this year. I highly recomend this resort to anyone who is looking for a romantic vacation.
No it is not.





Hedonism is. There are two Hedonism Hotels in Jamaica.
ALL INCLUSIVE RESORT. NO SWINGING.
nope... go to sandals hedonism is kinda.... freaky filled with gays and naked people you can go if u like that type of stuff
no not at all...you're thinking of hendonism.

  • Making a guest list for a small informal couples party?

    My husband and I have alot of friends, but few who know each other. Has anyone ever heard of a party invitation where the hostess asks the guests to bring a friend/friends? That way they have someone they can hang with and feel comfortable.Making a guest list for a small informal couples party?
    Yes, you could definitely do that.





    You could also play some ice-breaker games, which get people talking and introduced to one another.





    For example, one is called the Match Game.





    The Match Game is a great way to get everyone mixing and mingling at your party!





    Before the party, make a list of famous couples. For example, Anthony and Cleopatra, etc. write the name of one half of the famous couple on one name tag, and the other name on another name tag.





    As guests arrive, place a name tag on each guest's back (in random order). Tell each guest to mingle, asking yes or no questions about themselves (the name their back), until he or she finds their ';other half';. Once each member of the famous couple finds each other, they can put on their name tags.





    Good luck!Making a guest list for a small informal couples party?
    I have! I usually have to because my friends are from all over and might end up lonely. It helps, but if they're social people, it might be nice to just introduce them and let them mingle!
    I have heard if you have an odd number of guests, people tend to mingle more.

    Do couples that elope generally receive wedding presents?

    For various reasons, we are probably eloping rather than having a traditional wedding. My greedy side was just wondering, do couples that elope generally still receive some wedding gifts after the fact?Do couples that elope generally receive wedding presents?
    Eloping couples usually gets a few gifts but not many. People are more likely to give a gift if they get to see and participate in the special event.Do couples that elope generally receive wedding presents?
    Much depends on your friends, your parents' friends, and your famillies and how they feel about you. My friend eloped last year; she got lots of stuff.





    If a close friend elopes, I would buy her a present. I don't agree that eloping is the same as ';shunning'; your loved ones. Everyone I know who eloped did it because of financial constraints. I would much rather give a present to those needy couples than to a couple who can afford to spend mega bucks on a wedding.





    On the other hand, if the same friend had an actual wedding of any size and didn't invite me, I would congratulate her but not give a gift.
    Generally no, but possibly yes from the parents. Just because you dont have a wedding ceremony, you can still have a reception which could get u gifts.


    You can say, ';Our marriage was intimate and private, but we still wish to share our happiness with family and friends with an informal reception.'; Then u could get away with having a barbeque or potluck at the residence. And gifts will likely flow in.
    being a former wedding coordinator...no your on your own...you cant expect to shun your guest and family and then turn around and say wheres my gifts? totally bad taste. Now if you prefer what you can do is get invitations made, let them know you ARE married and that you eloped, include a picture of your wedding, and that you are registered at......such and such place.





    But remember you are also taking a risk in offending family and friends by not inviting them also. Kinda like a catch 22 I do not recommend eloping, eloping is for couples that have families that despise the bride and groom or families, as romantic as it may seem, if you want to include the invitation, then include why you eloped...make it sound whimsical..magical..romantic. if you need help let me know





    denineblas@yahoo.com
    Most receive some after the fact. For instance, when my childhood friend married, he and his bride sent out announcements that announced their marriage and their new address. I sent them a gift. Didn't matter to me that they eloped rather than have a wedding. I was happy for them and a gift was appropriate and affordable at the time. I would hazard to guess that the couple only receives gifts from close family and friends.
    Not that I know of. I know a lot of people that have eloped and I or anyone I know have given gifts. I guess since it isn't announced people don't give gifts. Sorry but unless you have some sort of get together I don't think people feel like they need to get you anything. Good Luck and Congrats!!!
    only if you have friends and family who are thoughtful... you can always have a little party to celebrate that you got married. invite people over and have a celebration of your marriage with them, do it informal but send out invites then maybe people will bring you gifts.
    If you sent out a wedding announcement, some people might choose to send you a gift.


    I know that if a close friend/relative eloped and there were no parties planned to celebrate that I would probably send a congratulatory card %26amp; gift.
    The general idea behind elopement is no wedding. No wedding means no wedding guests which means no wedding presents.


    In addition, elopement means nobody will plan a shower or jack and jill. This means no shower presents.
    No, sorry, not really. Perhaps if you send out announcements after the elopement, your family MAY (and I say ';may';) send you some money and/or a gift, but generally I would say they will not.
    Not generally,
    I would have to say probably not. Unless you have some kind of party to celebrate
    no because no one is going to know you got married

    What are some ways for to-be-married couples to save money?

    We are both full-time students with very limited part-time income (~$500/month total). We pay for our own day-to-day expenses, while our parents are covering housing for us. We'd like to save $5000 for our future married life to start with, but lack tips and advice for how to do so. We are frugal, but some concrete tips from folks who have been there would be helpful. Thank you!What are some ways for to-be-married couples to save money?
    Make an account(a budget) :of what you spend daily for the week/month and make sure you keep to the list.don't spend on unnecessary items;clothing,cosmetics,magazines.





    but be flexible:sometimes an event may happen and you might have to spend more in that week.





    buy in bulk:always saves a lot of money-but make sure you can use all of the products with the expired date.





    use coupons/vouchers,etc.





    prepare your own lunch:for college/work.


    g'luck :)What are some ways for to-be-married couples to save money?
    With such limited income you may have to wait until you are settled in a career to try saving a whole lot. You could save on food by careful planning of menus, buying in large containers when possible, dividing large pieces of meat in to several pieces for more than one meal, making casseroles and soups etc. For entertainment look for times when tickets to events may be cheaper such as afternoon matinees, or invite friends over for small gatherings, rather than going out. Cut utilities by turning the thermostat up or down a notch. Save gasoline, by planning errands in a circuit to prevent back tracking. Try resale shops for clothes or other items (or to sell your own things). There are many ways to save a little each month.
    Make a list of all your monthly expenses,then add up all your income.Hopefully,you have a few dollars left over.Each take some spending cash each week,%26amp; save the rest.If there's nothing to save,the only options you have is to cut out everything unnecessary,%26amp; plan budget meals that are healthy.
    If you live in the USA, they are getting ready to do the census and need census workers. Its easy and fun and you can do it together! and on your own time frame.

    Make a list of expenses and use your debit card/credit card to track expenses for a month. Itemize all your expenses and see what can be cut back and where money is being wasted. Cut back in those areas. If you have trouble balancing your checkbook keep the discipline of using credit cards and paying off the cards at the end of the month. Leave only a small balance (for credit maintenance reasons). This way you can continue to track expenses easily and only have one check to write per month. Continue to track expenses and be sure to put the money you save into an interest bearing checking/savings account. I like ING.. they have more interest than most accounts.

    Happy couples, why do you think your relationship is such a success?

    Is there anything different about your relationship from others that makes it work? What things do you and your partner do that makes your relationship last?Happy couples, why do you think your relationship is such a success?
    hiya, i married my man, when i was 17yrs old. we have been married 43yrs,and still very much in love.this is what my mum told me,she was married 62yrs, till she died. never go to bed arguing,always make up, before you sleep.always work together, with house work/kids/ shopping.never go out with your mates on a night out.that's either one of you.always make sure you go out together once a week,for a night to relax.always talk to each other,don't bottle things up,and always do things together,as a loving couple.i followed these bits of advice,and i could not be happier, kids now adays, don't put much into there relationships,that's why there is so many kids without one of there parents.good luck.xHappy couples, why do you think your relationship is such a success?
    What i do:





    1. Communicate: Talk to your partner about sexual problems and feelings you may have to see how you can work them out together.EX: If you have a desire to use sex toys, you should share this with him or her!





    2. Avoid arguments: Choose your battles to have more positive feelings towards your partner.





    3. Think positively about sex: Don't think of sex as a chore, but instead as a fun and loving experience that you can share.





    4. Spend time together: Get away from the hectic pace of life and just have fun together to get your spark back.





    5. Show affection: Outside of the bedroom, show affection to your partner, and you'll be more attracted to them sexually.





    6. Do something new: Introduce a little novelty into your lives together, and you'll produce dopamine, a chemical that helps fuel sex drive.





    7. Take a vacation: Sometimes the hectic pace of daily life can get in the way of sex, so step out of your usual routine to spice things up.





    8. Take a deep breath: The scent of your partner's sweat can be a booster for your sex drive.





    9. Go out on a date: Support your emotional connection by going on a date, and focus on building your relationship.





    10. Share responsibilities: If you're not having sex because you or your partner is burned out or too tired, learn to more evenly balance your responsibilities between you.
    There are 3 essential factors to make a good relationship.





    1) Love - this is the obvious one but if you have love and are missing either of the other two the relationship will most likely eventually fail.


    2) Respect - this is essential in a relationship. You must first respect yourself and you must respect your mate and the choices they make. If you don't respect yourself, how do you expect your mate will respect and appreciate you?


    3) Acceptance - Nobody is perfect and there will always be aspects of the other person that you don't particularly like. Perhaps they have habits that drive you nuts but acceptance is the key. You need to be able to accept those less than perfect qualities. If you realize you cannot accept those qualities, you better cut your loses and move on because eventually the relationship will fail.





    It's taken me nearly 47 years to realize this. All three of these aspects MUST be present for a good long lasting relationship.
    Does 47 years count? If so mine works because I'm married to an angel who always puts me first, never criticises me to anyone, always praises me, in fact I can't think of any faults. Oh yes, she screams and swears at me like a banshee when she loses her temper but its ok because I sometimes ask for it! lol. Nevertheless because she always thinks of me first it makes it easy for me to do the same. To paraphrase John F Kennedy ';Ask not what your partner can do for you, ask what you can do for your partner';


    Too many of the present generation have been taught to put themselves first. They ask ';What can you do for me?'; and then wonder why their relationships fail.


    communication, sex, trust, a hobby or interest that mutually draws you together, division of labour, sex, financial trust and thrift, a good sense of humour especially being able to laugh at yourself, introspection when neccessary (after a disagreement), mutual respect for each others feelings. and don't forget sex!!.
    Shady, you're not an atheist anymore?





    Here's my prescription for a happy relationship, though it goes against some common advice: We often here that ';relationships are hard work.'; That advice is a trap. Relationships are easy. If it starts feeling like hard work then something is wrong. When it starts feeling like hard work then that's signal to take some space for yourself, or give some space to your partner. There's no need to butt heads. Instead, take it easy and relax and do something on your own. Let yourself be yourself and have your own life, and same thing for your partner. Enjoy the good times, be content with the boring everyday times, and stay off each others back during difficult times.





    It's sort of like having a dog. Is a relationship with a dog hard work? Treat each other like you would treat your own dog; that is, you're happy to see your dog, you pet your dog, you play with your dog, you hang out with your dog, and hopefully you don't kick your dog when you're angry.





    Simple as that.





    Good luck. -Y
    We spend time apart. Many modern day couples seem to feel like they should spend every possible minute with their partner. Often times this can lead to isolation, arguments, fights and other things as they start getting on each others nerves. So we do things separately and still have lives ';outside of the couple.';
    Communication. After you get older, sex play very little in a relationship. You form a companionship. Comminicate about ';everything'; - money, family, sex, kids. Open your mouth and talk. Dont let life, sports, tv or FAMILY members run your life.





    OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND TALK - IT WORKS





    yours truly


    ';common Joe:
    We talk about everything and we have fun together. Our priority is our marriage. If we have a problem we speak up and work it out. We are on the same page about raising the kids, dealing with the in laws, money and sex.





    Listening to all the men that I work with, they hide things from their wives, fight about sex and money and some of them cheat. It seems to be a growing trend and marriages like this are not successful.
    Well my husband and I we met for sex 11yrs ago. I knew very few people who met like we did. We talked in a chatroom, 2 days later we met up for sex.





    We became friends. Somewhere in the mix, we fell in love with each other. 2yrs later he proposed.





    2 months after the proposal we moved in together. That's when we really got to know each other. We find out that we actually have more in common then just sex. We do love each other and not just lust each other. We communicate. We respect and trust each other. We also have fun non sexually.





    In 2004 my husband was deployed to Iraq. That year he was gone was hard. We missed each other so much, but when he return home our love grew greatly for each other.





    Now a days, our sex life is no where near the way it was. But it doesn't have to be for us to be happy. We are happy enough, that sex isn't all that important. We enjoy each other company with that being us hiking, taking pictures, camping, cuddling up watching a movie, simply wrestling around etc..





    We accept who we are. We respect each other. I am so proud of him serving our country. He is proud of me. We talk alot about everything. We lend a shoulder to cry/vent to each other.
    There are a lot of good answers above that I agree with. I would add that when the times get rough and stressful (because there will be times of immense stress in life), learning to work together through a crisis rather than tearing each other apart is key. You must have each others backs.
    I don't know what makes us work, we seem to have nothing in common. But I think about him often, I want to see his smile. He's a great father to my kids and he respects me. He asks my opinion on things and is supportive in everything I do. His faults don't bother me because I see what a good man he is. It helps that I never have to nag him, because he helps without me having to ask.





    Knowing that marriage is forever kind of helps. Since I know that man is going to be with me every single day for the rest of my life, I treat him nicer. Think about it....we can make the next forty years pure torture, or we can be loving to each other and make the best of it.
    knowing each others and no quickly giving up when a problem arise


    a lot of talking AND listing if yo argue no one can be heared.


    if we are mad at each other we take 5 min and then give each other a hug and kiss and say i love you and watch a movie or something.


    but we had years of practis it take a long time to get it just right for the both.
    I consider my marriage a success but I don't think there are any true keys to it. It's all about work...and being honest one may put in more hours than the other:-) But in the end, every marriage has ups and downs and anyone that says their marriage is perfect is lying. You are going to have issues but it's how you resolve them is what counts. To me that's what makes a marriage a success
    i don't know the true answer to this but every relationship differs.





    for me and my fiance i think it's just that e enjoy each others company, like the same things such as films music foods. ans trust each other so there is no wondering if either of us would stray.





    i just think for us we met at the right time in life (early 30's) settling down years
    We have a lot of respect/love for each other, always. We have great communication skills....and we work on our marriage. We just don't let it ';idle'; by itself.... Marriage takes work and effort....and the results of such work is an excellent marriage !!! We've had many people recently comment on how they would love to have a marriage/relationship like ours.....so, something we are doing is good !!!!
    well mine never last at all but thats because im less comfortable in the bedroom and it takes me longer to get comfortable so they get bored i think that as some of my friends have been in long relationships


    its purely because they just found the right person


    they do things together like go beach go for walks go cinma etc


    and they proberly have a healthy sex life lol
    My husband and I are each other's biggest fans and we remind each other of that regularly. We have all the normal pressures of finances, children, work, chores, etc, but we face it as a team working together. Our marriage feels new even though its been 17 years already.
    Plenty of sex. Plenty of sexy lingerie.
    Im sure that most happy couples will say trust. And they are right. A relationship will never last if you cant trust them 100%. No lies even if it hurts for a minute. And communication!
    My wife and I match each other well... for instance Im slightly vain and shes insecure so we compensate for eachothers shortcomings I use my confidance to make sure she knows how great she is and she keeps me from being too conceited
    Me and my wife accepted each other for who we are and that we are not going to try to change each other.
    be honest, be trueful, know that we wont split up, communication and good sex :D !
    Our marriage has worked for almost 40 years purely because my hubby is so tolerant!!!

    no bbq ideas!. the couple in question are co hosting a another couples shower with a bbq later in the year.Can anyone give me some ideas for a couples pre wedding shower?
    you can always do an outdoor bbq and perhaps hire a small company caterer. it is best to call before time and i suggest a small company because it is simpler and less expensive. a small buffet-like feast would be perfectCan anyone give me some ideas for a couples pre wedding shower?
    Is Pot Luck to over done?





    Its kinda hard to answer, dont know much about the party...like what time is it? What things do they like? Do they want more than food?





    Find some fun games to play...like you can buy The NewlyWed game form a game store and play that.
    I think a wine and cheese party would be a lot of fun. You could have all of the guest bring their favorite wine, that way you don't have to spend so much... and everyone will be pleased witht he selection. For the cheese you could have a fondue with different thigs to dip. Fun activities could be for every one to tell endearing or funny stories about the couple.
    Lots of champagne... a slideshow of the happy couple (pics and videos), lots of appetizers, you could play the ';newlywed game,'; Mardi Gras theme?


    Where did they meet or how did they meet? If it was in a coffee shop for example...make it a coffe shop theme...
    BRIDAL SHOWER PARTY

















    Enjoy Those Pre-Wedding Parties

    How to Save Time and Money with Today's Best Online Resources








    Wedding Showers





    Aside from the engagement party, your bridal shower will probably be the first pre-wedding bash you have. It’s a chance for your relatives and best friends to come together, get to know each other, and – of course – “shower” you with gifts and attention!





    When?





    Bridal showers are typically held one to two months before the wedding. As with most pre-wedding parties and get-togethers (with the exception of the rehearsal), you don’t want it to be any closer than that to the big day; too many activities too close to the wedding will swamp an already hectic schedule.








    Who Plans and Organizes It?





    Not you. The bride is the guest of honor here, so let others handle the details and just enjoy it!





    Traditionally, this party is arranged and organized by the maid of honor, the bridal party as a group, a close friend, or (less common) a relative. While it’s often considered inappropriate for parents, sisters, and grandparents of the bride to throw the shower (to some this is perceived as the family “asking” for gifts), they may want to help with the cost by picking up part of the catering tab or offering their home as the shower’s location.





    You’ll want to get together with the person hosting your shower to make sure they have the right guests on the list (see below). If you think they might be planning a surprise shower, make sure they have access to guests’ names and contact info. Your fiancé might be able to assist them in this area, but if you want to be sure, write up a list of names or print out the appropriate contacts from your online guest database.








    Who’s Invited?





    The bridal shower is traditionally an intimate affair that includes just the bride’s attendants, her family, relatives of the groom (mother, sisters, and so forth), and close friends. The average guest count is between 20 and 40, and any more than that is probably too many. Obviously, anyone invited to a wedding shower should be invited to the wedding as well, unless it’s an “office shower” thrown by your coworkers or your wedding will take place out of town. If you’re going to be having multiple showers, you should probably avoid duplicating the guest lists; inviting the same guests to too many gift-giving events can make the whole thing an unwelcome financial burden.





    The person or persons planning and hosting your shower will be responsible for sending out the invitations. They should include the name of the planner, the bride’s name, date and location, as well as a notice if it’s to be a surprise. An RSVP e-mail or phone number is usually provided as well. You may also want your guests to be able to send an RSVP for the shower from your wedding website; you can give the access information to your planner to set it up.








    What Happens and Where?





    The shower is usually held at the home of the person planning it, or at a relative’s house (a sister, aunt, or the mother of the bride, for example). Commonly, a luncheon or tea party is held, but it can be as creative and unique as the planner wishes: a pool party, picnic, or barbeque are all possibilities. The bride will open her bridal shower gifts, and the planner might even have games on the agenda. Make sure that all your gifts are recorded (have someone create a list with the name of each guest and their gift) so you can send thank-you notes soon after the shower.





    One popular option that works especially well if you’re having multiple showers is the “theme” shower. For example, you might have a linen shower, a kitchen shower, lingerie shower, and/or a Tupperware shower. It helps prevent duplicate gifts and gives you a chance to receive items you may need more than others.








    Bridesmaids’ Luncheon





    Your attendants will be running errands, backing you up, providing emotional support, and...well, attending to you...throughout the planning and on the big day. The bridesmaids’ luncheon is a fun, traditional way to get your girls together and show them your appreciation.





    When?





    This get-together is usually held a few weeks before the wedding. Yes, this is one of the busiest times of your planning, but the time demand is pretty low, as you’ll see.








    Who Plans and Organizes It?





    This one’s in the bride’s court. Along with your bridesmaids’ gifts, it’s your way of saying thanks to those who will be serving as your attendants.








    Who’s Invited?





    You’ll invite your maid of honor and all your bridesmaids.








    What Happens and Where?





    While traditionally a luncheon, this get-together can be an actual restaurant outing, lunch at a friend’s, or even a round of cocktails after a day of dress shopping. It’s just a way of getting the girls together and thanking them, so you can do it your style and any way that fits your busy schedule. You can give your girls their bridesmaid gifts at this get-together, or wait until the rehearsal dinner.





    You might also want to have a traditional bridesmaids’ cake baked for the event. Such cakes contain a token inside (a ring, charm, or thimble) and—as bridal lore goes—whoever gets the slice with the token will be the next to wed.








    Bachelorette Bashes





    Whether it’s a foray into Vegas, a night on the town, or some drinks and poker (for him) and a pajama party with the girls (for her!), bachelorette parties are an optional but time-honored tradition for you both to get together with your closest friends and party before the big day. You’ll often hear that the sake of the party is your last big night as a single guy/gal, but we know it’s really your upcoming marriage you’re celebrating. In fact, a traditional custom for the groom-to-be (just slightly less known than the stripper-jumping-out-of-the-cake routine) has long been to fill his and his groomsmen’s glasses and toast his new bride. The glasses were then shattered so that they could never be used for a less worthy purpose.





    When?





    These parties are usually held during the last couple weeks before the wedding, preferably three days or more before the wedding day itself.








    Who Plans and Organizes It?





    Not you! The best man and maid of honor traditionally get the fun of planning and organizing each of your big night out.








    Who’s Invited?





    It’s your call. Who do you feel most comfortable to get together and hang out with in such an intimate setting? Your attendants are a given. Your best man will get the guys together for the bachelor party, and your maid of honor will do the same with the girls for the bachelorette bash. Feel free to enforce any invitation list wishes you may have.








    What Happens and Where?





    Anything. Anywhere! This is a chance to get out with your buds and celebrate your upcoming marriage (and last night of singlehood), so do it your way and have fun! Even if your hosts insist on surprising you with their party agenda, slip them a hint or two on your preferences (if you’d like to keep it low key, for example, but you know your friends want to plan a crazy bar-hopping night out, you’d better let them know!).
    make some big trays of meatballs, breaded chicken, and mixed veggies. Make a ton of pasta (mixed with olive oil so it doesnt stick together) Also red and white sauce. Garlic bread on the side. Bottles (or boxes) of wine. Voila, Italian buffet wedding shower.

    What are some books that are about young couples in love?

    Are there any books about a young couple in love for a teen girl ? Something like dear john or the notebook?What are some books that are about young couples in love?
    Try Twilight!What are some books that are about young couples in love?
    I don't know if this is exactly what your looking for, but If you haven't already read it, Pants On Fire by Meg Cabot is a good one.





    Its about a girl falling in love with her childhood friend who just moved back in town.





    Here's the summary:


    Katie Ellison is not a liar.





    It's just that telling the truth is so . . . tricky. She knows she shouldn't be making out with a drama club hottie behind her football- player boyfriend's back. She should probably admit that she can't stand eating quahogs (clams), especially since she's running for Quahog Princess in her hometown's annual Quahog Festival. And it would be a relief to finally tell someone what really happened the night Tommy Sullivan is a freak was spray-painted on the new wall outside the junior high school gymnasium-in neon orange, which still hasn't been sandblasted off. After all, everyone knows that's what drove Tommy out of town four years ago.





    But now Tommy Sullivan has come back. Katie is sure he's out for revenge, and she'll do anything to hang on to her perfect (if slightly dishonest) existence. Even if it means telling more lies than ever. Even if, now that Tommy's around, she's actually-no lie- having the time of her life.





    Here's a review. Note: It gives away a lot





    http://www.teenreads.com/reviews/0060880155.asp





    It's a great book
    I would have to say Twilight is the most popular but if you are looking for other good ones try http://www.thebestbooks.org and click on romance.

    Are there any grants available for low-income couples about to have a baby?

    We have a mortgage that for the first time has become extremely difficult to pay. We don't want to continue getting personal loans from family. We've never been in this situation before and are expecting our first baby in August. Don't know what to do.Are there any grants available for low-income couples about to have a baby?
    I am guessing that you are in the U.S. If so, check your city and county websites. Because of the mortgage/foreclosure mess, there are a number of programs being offered in various cities to help people in your situation.





    If the city and county websites don't show any information, try an internet search using your city name and terms like ';foreclosure assistance'; or ';foreclosure counseling'; or ';mortgage assistance';. Even if you are not facing foreclosure, you should still look into everything available.





    Good luck to you and your growing family!Are there any grants available for low-income couples about to have a baby?
    if there are they would be listed in a book by this guy named Lesko(sp?) check with library to see if the have a copy
    UK has a maternity grant, but not the US





    There are no grants for having babies in the US. There are also no grants for paying bills, no grants for paying off credit cards, no grants for getting out of debt.





    Grants are free, but it means OBLIGATION. You will be obligated to do as the grant sets out to do. Grants have objectives, and your purpose must fit the objective of the grant.





    For one, you have to write the grant application and the grant application is not a simple document - you have to explain how your purpose for applying for the grant fits well with the objectives set out by the grant.





    There is a stringent review process through a committee. You will compete with other applicants for the grant money, and this grant review committee will evaluate the merits of each proposal. Only those that they feel exemplifies the objective of the grant will be approved.





    You can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support your purposes.





    Even if you buy books on ';how to get grants'; or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently.





    Note though that these grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments. Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program. Individuals especially for personal purposes are not eligible for federal grants.





    Grants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs

    What is the average number of children married couples have in Egypt?

    And how many do you want?What is the average number of children married couples have in Egypt?
    people in my family had no more then 4 children but my aunt had 3 children an my uncle had 6 because he got divorced like 2 times an the last one is still with him he had 2 with each wife before he divorced then he kept the kids with him....i,isA wanna had around 4 to 6 children as well i love a big family..What is the average number of children married couples have in Egypt?
    Too many. That is why Egypt is so poor. Overpopulation. Egypt cannot sustain the current population. They need to import food and oil when before they exported both. You have Egyptian men spending hours in chatrooms harassing women to marry them so they can leave Egypt and women hanging outside Western embassies asking men leaving and entering to marry them so they can leave as well.
    I think the average now is 2-3 kids and insha Allah i want to have 2 :)





    Sometimes i think of having ONE spoiled kid :D
    the statistic average is 3.1


    I want to have only 2 (like me %26amp; my brother)
    Its always 1-3 mostly 2 anyways..4 - more is rare .





    and I would want 1 or twins lol .

    If California redefines marraige to include same sex couples, should any 2 adults be prevented from marrying?

    There are many financial and other advantages to marriage that will be conveyed to gays and lesbians at 5:01pm on Monday. These include inheritance preferences, tax preferences and medical rights. If these advantages are disconnected from traditional marriage, should they be denied to best friends, cousins, siblings and senior citizens who cohabitate as close friends without sex? What is the public policy basis for granting special tax rights and medical rights only to people engaging in sexual activity?If California redefines marraige to include same sex couples, should any 2 adults be prevented from marrying?
    Medical rights, inheritance rights, life insurance, etc. were always available to gays. That complaint was just smoke for an ill informed public.


    With a living trust all these rights are extended to the trustee.


    As a trustee of a living trust one can be assigned medical power of attorney, financial power of attorney and inheritance.


    Cost to set it up, $350.


    I know this to be true because I was the trustee of just such a living trust. I ,Mr Moore`s employee, was put on it as trustee as he changed his mind about his gay lover.


    In fact I had absolute power, even more than any spouse or relative. When I showed up people jumped as Mr Moore`s power of attorney had arrived. While others waited in waiting rooms I was in the conference room, emergency room, board room, making life and death decisions. I was in total control of property and money.


    The only advantage to marriage is the tax break. Gay rights people know this very well. Many in the know gays already have living trusts.





    You are correct now a brother can marry a brother and a sister marry a sister. What small step is it to go just a little further.





    Marriage was invented to protect the offspring, the children. The tax breaks were given to aid parents in the raising of the children.





    Glad you askedIf California redefines marraige to include same sex couples, should any 2 adults be prevented from marrying?
    God says '; same sex marriage is wrong and consequences will follow. Ck out the tornados, floods, earthquakes and the American empire going down daily. I believe the bible and Calif rulings on this are wrong. Thanks for listening.
    That's a good point and, no doubt, some people will marry for economic benefit.





    But some hetero couples do that now, so I don't see a fundamental change.
    Interesting question. I live in Orange County, CA, a red county in a blue state. This has caused some commotion here to be sure.





    I've always disliked laws that restrict my freedom. If I were gay, I'd probably have figured it out by my teen years. At least that's what my gay friends tell me. I know that they have been forced to live as second class citizens for a very long time, and I fail to understand how their happiness stands in the way of anyone elses? Sure, the Bible says it's an abomination, but isn't the USA a pluralistic society where we are free to chose our religion and are expected to tolerate each other's differences? Anyway, I am one Republican that reads his Bible, and at the same time applaudes the liberal court's decision in this matter.





    But that wasn't your question was it. One of my sisters has been in a platonic relationship with her female friend for over 25 years. They own a house together, pool financial resources, etc... As best friends, I think they should be able to take advantage of the probate, insurance and tax benifits as you suggest.





    There is a hurdle for blood relatives. I'm not up on incest laws in California, but I'm sure we have some. If blood relatives were allowed to marry, I'm sure that some would take advantage and go beyond the platonic limits. Frankly, I don't even care about that, so long as they don't make babies.





    Like I said before, I don't like laws that limit personal freedoms. We shouldn't have to wear a helmet or a seatbelt if we have medical insurance to cover our resulting medical expenses. We should be allowed to smoke marajanna, marajuana, hmmm, grass in our own house. And to hell with all the other nanny laws.





    Write it up, and I'll sign it.

    It was a great twist. I have a feeling it might be Nathan but then again its the person that loses the most weight and Bob's lost a heap! I mean Biggest Loser 5 times? He has a good chance. Plus Nathan hasn't got that much to lose compared to Bob. Who knows? I'd love Bob to win it though I think he's the sweetest person.

    Gay weddings. Do gay male and female couples have different wedding ideas?

    Am studying wedding planning and want to get a feel as to whether gay male couples and gay female couples have different ideas about how they would like their day to be. Do men want to go for a more traditional feel more so than women? Would the girls both wear wedding gowns? I appreciate everyone is different but any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Gay weddings. Do gay male and female couples have different wedding ideas?
    I've been to several civil partnerships and most were different. My own, was quiet (and obviously in my opinion the best) and others were massive affairs.





    I suspect we're the same as the straights.Gay weddings. Do gay male and female couples have different wedding ideas?
    My partner would probably wear pants, shirt and wasitcoat, whilst I would wear something feminine. But she would carry, say, a single flower and wear accessories so she doesn't look too butch. Because religion is banned from the service content, we would look towards embracing the ';different'; element of it by doing something which reflects this. We wouldn't want to try copying a traditional, straight marriage, but would choose something which expresses who we are.
    Well, most gay in my country prefer non-traditional weddings. Since gay weddings are usually consists of friends and co-workers instead of families, so there is not really a concern to have all the wedding rituals since there would be less fuss about it.





    However, my friends always told me that they wish they were married in a resort or an island, instead of buildings or church. But I guess that depends on the person.
    First I hate when people say civil partnership...that sounds so....formal. Anyways, I think it is really just up to the couple that you would be marrying. I don't think that woman should have to role play on who will wear the dress or the suit...if they both want to wear a gown..why not, if they both want to wear a suit...go for it! Same for men...it is really just going to be up to the couple
    Don't you think it depends on the person? Some gay couples may decide to wear wedding gowns (men and women) while other gay couples might want to wear suits.


    And to the person above. Sssh.
    i say the option for civil partnership should be open for hetrosexual couples too... like atheists who dont go with the concept of god... and be spared of this marriage and wedding crap... its already happening in UK
    just.. http://www.pinkweddings.biz/ great site and it's half decent too :)

    Good game for a church group of couples?

    I belong to a connections group at my church. It's one of many small groups within the church - which are based on common interests or life situations. In our case, we are all couples. There are 5 couples in our group. We get together every few weeks and eat and pray and share what's going on in our lives. Sometimes we like to play games. It's best if they are or can be Spiritual in nature. We've played a board game called ';Life Stories'; and it is great. Do you have any other suggestions?Good game for a church group of couples?
    Win loose or drawGood game for a church group of couples?
    This isnt a spiritual game but I love it. Taboo - many people play this game. Although it isnt spiritual you can play on couple teams so it could be a lot of fun. Basically you draw a card with words written on the card. The goal is to get your team to guess the word on the card (and as many cards as you can) before time runs out. I play this game with friends and we always have a good time!

    How many times do you people think couples have sex?

    A couple I know have sex more thatn 27 times a year. And I am actually 16.How many times do you people think couples have sex?
    27 times a year is only nce every fortnight, thats not much at all.


    And why would they tell a 16 year old that anyway thats quite disturbing.How many times do you people think couples have sex?
    You are too young to be having sex. Wait til you're older and understand it better. When your married you can have sex like every single day!!! That would be 365 times a year and one more when its a leap year!!!

    My heart hurts and I shed a tear everytime I see all the paired off couples around me?

    I'm 18 and never been kissed and never had a bf. I don't understand why. Everytime I go somewhere all heads turn and both men and women stare at me. It's not my personality either because everyone says that I'm the nicest person they have met. So how come everyone is paired off and in love but I'm lonely and have always been lonely?My heart hurts and I shed a tear everytime I see all the paired off couples around me?
    Do you have a crush?


    Ask him on a date!


    EASYMy heart hurts and I shed a tear everytime I see all the paired off couples around me?
    Trust me Firthy and Chocolate, a goodly few of those couples are wishing they were free to have fun and go where they want when they want without having to explain to their ';other';.


    I know it can feel lonely being on your own at special times of the year, but just spend some time on celebrating your youth, yourself and your freedom.


    Maybe, sad as it may sound, you are both just too nice! Don't rush out to change that!!!! If you look round you the slightly hard to control men and women are never short of an admirer!


    On the other hand, when that special person sees you, they are going to be worth all the wait. Being way older than both of you I speak from experience so hang on in there!
    *sigh* unfortunetly the feeling all to well, I'm 18 too and just like you I've never been kissed or had a gf, people don't stare at me because they are too busy looking at each other.


    It's not my personailty either but I'm the everyone says I'm nice and sweet, so basically I am in the same boat as you, small world...I haven't cried about it (probably will do later) but I do feel empty inside like something is missing from me.





    frthy06@yahoo.co.uk
    There is really not enough information here to tell you anything. What do you like? Sorry, you would be surprised at how shallow the world has become. Also this whole everyone being paired off and in love, not everyone who is paired up is actually in love, and surely not everyone is paired off. Are you being too picky yourself?
    Everyone you see who is paired off was once a single person looking for love.





    You need to gain a bit of confidence, and start approaching guys you like. Join a few clubs and go to some events, get mixing and see what is out there.





    Don't despair, there is someone special for everyone. You just need to find him.





    xx
    I used to feel like you. It can be very, very tough to see everyone with ';their special someone'; and you may feel like you have nobody. I didn't have my first kiss till I was 17. But do not give up! Keep meeting people and talking to single people. Get a single girl friend with you and go out together to meet others. People are naturally attracted to people who are happy and smile a lot. :)
    Try talking to a nice guy that you know. Maybe a friend. You never know. I dated my best friend in HS and now we are happily married with a 2 yr old son!
    youre too nice. try having a personality
    i don't i think phew ..it's bad enuff that i nag myself ..don't need ne 1 else doing it

    If either of you get fixed, then lucky you, you don't have to use them anymore, but be sure that you've had a decision on wanting children or not.


    This is usually in marriage stage.
    If I'm not actively trying to get pregnant, my partner's wearing a condom. It doesn't matter that I have my own birth control. I prefer to double up and be extra safe.

    What is a good idea for a couples matching tattoo?

    My boyfriend and I would like to get matching tattoos but we don't really know what we want to get. Any ideas would be really helpful as long as it doesn't involve our names. Please only answer if you are serious. I appreciate any unique ideas as long as you don't tell me not to do it.





    Thank YouWhat is a good idea for a couples matching tattoo?
    what about:


    -two puzzle pieces that fit together-on the inside you could get something meaningful to you both


    http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3193/2468鈥?/a>


    -a lock and a key


    http://www.cmt.com/sitewide/assets/img/s鈥?/a>


    those are ugly, but you get the idea


    -a heart each of you has half you can put it on your wrist so that when your hands are together it makes a full heart.


    http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/9578/鈥?/a>


    -this is cheesy, sorry. but what about salt and pepper or some other things that will always go together in a couple.


    http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2087/2123鈥?/a>


    -what if you both got a phrase like- love forever, true love, always %26amp; forever in pretty script.


    http://offbeatink.com/wp-content/uploads鈥?/a>


    -or, you could each get a sparrow. the significance being that sparrows mate for life.

    -an infinity symbol

    read this: http://tattoos.lovetoknow.com/Couple_Tat鈥?/a>





    also, you may want to take an idea and talk to your artist so that he/she has a feel of what you want


    and he/she might even have another idea that you like better


    make sure you do this wayy before you get your tattoos in case of any changes or inspirations that may make the tattoo idea change.


    just a few ideas


    :)What is a good idea for a couples matching tattoo?
    Well I'll start by saying that I don't think that anything would make this a good idea. I sometimes regret the tattoo I went to get with my ex, even though it has nothing to do with him except that he was there.





    Otherwise you guys need to decide on a theme. You shouldn't get a tattoo because it looks cool, particularly not one with some unifying meaning for the two of you.





    But if you wanted suggestions for cute things that come in pairs here goes. (all of which should be okay on their own)





    -Lock and Key


    -Salt and Pepper shakers


    -candle and a match


    -moon and sun (or star)


    -dove and an olive branch


    -Male and female signs





    If you want a theme of longevity you could pick an animal that mates for life, like the hawk and just both get it.


    Also the fairly universal symbols of love; hearts, doves, a knot in a bit of rope etc. All images that you could just get the same thing.





    And finally we have the tattoos that couples get where the image links from one person's arm to the other and they have to put their arms together for it to work. Or some doing with clasping hands. With this you could pick a quote that means a lot to you, or even each get a page out of a book you both like.





    Anyway, good luck.
    I'm going to come at you from a tattoo artist's perspective. I cover too many names, dates, and symbols to ever think this is a good idea. You're not even married, and you're willing to commit to a matching tattoo? I hope nothing but the best for your relationship, but, things happen. Your tattoo could serve as a negative reminder of a love gone bad. Many people say, we're getting symbols not names so that if we do break up, it's a symbol, and will remind me of the good times. Well, I hear a lot of stories where people see the tattoo as a reminder of the bad things the other person did. I don't think matching couple tattoos are a good idea. If you stay together, and start a family, why not wait until you have children, and get tattoos to celebrate the lives of your children?
    My boyfriend has had two sparrows tattooed on his wrist for a couple of years now. For my first tattoo, which I got last week, I got a sparrow underneath my ankle. I got it for my own reasons, but part of it was also because sparrows are monogamous birds and once they find their mate are together for life. There were many other reasons why I got the tattoo, but part of it was my boyfriend as his sparrows are very much apart of him and hold a lot of meaning for him. He also got a tattoo, of our first initials entwined on either side of his last initial (which will one day be mine as well) but since you don't want anything with your names, that doesn't help you much.
    My sister and brother in law got matching tattoos before he got deployed a few years back and they mixed their two zodiac signs together and created a new and original tattoo which will unique to them. You guys could do something like that, if it's not totally against your religious beliefs or mix two symbols that mean something to you gus
    My girlfriend and i have matching tattoos on the back of our neck that say Amor Vincit Omnia. it is latin for ';love conquers all';. it is simple yet meaninful. i dont know how your boyfriend feels about getting a tattoo on the back of the neck though. maybe you both could get the words on your ribs? i think that would be nice. hope you like it! good luck!
    A friend and I each got an ambigram tattooed. It's basically a word that is read as a different word when flipped upside down or as the same word. It's really amazing at how many different ones there are out there. He got one on his forearm and I got on on my wrist. His says Work Hard/Carpe Diem and mine says Regret/Nothing.





    Here's a site with examples of what they are:


    http://www.wowtattoos.com/?gclid=CIHevIqV3poCFQIWFQodi2Zczg
    You can each get half a heart along your ribs so when you stand together it makes one whole heart. Or you could always take a quote and split it in half (ex. My love for you (on you or him) will never die (on the other))
    My boyfriend and I got chinese symbols behind our ears that mean passion.

    How did the State begin to marry couples?

    Hey guys. I wanna know how churches lost their exclusive right to marry couples as well as what it took for the State to begin marrying couples. Specifically, I'm looking for influences on American civics and culture, but any precursors to American efforts to separate church and state with the ceremony and legality of marriage is fine.





    My argument deals with how gay and lesbian couples shouldn't be allowed to get married because I don't believe the State should be allowed to marry couples.





    Thx guys!How did the State begin to marry couples?
    We should be careful to define the issues properly.





    While the state sanctions civil ceremonies the State does not require a civil ceremony and most couples are married in a religious ceremony.





    No doubt what you mean to ask is ';when did the state require a license to marry';





    At least in the United States this is a relatively recent phenomena. While some states began requiring a license to marry in the mid-1800's it was not until 1923 that the Federal Government established the Uniform Marriage and Marriage License Act. By 1929, every state in the Union had adopted marriage license laws.





    The question of a license is separate from the issue of whether a couple may marry.





    There is no legal impediment whatsoever to the marriage of Gay couples in any state in the United States. There are ordained ministers of a variety of denominations who will gladly perform a marriage ceremony. The First Amendment prevents the State from forbidding such a ceremony.





    The sole issue is whether such a marriage is subsequently recognized by the State and its courts.How did the State begin to marry couples?
    wow
    You'd have to go back to England. With the reformation, the church came under state control. Previously, if someone had a problem in a marriage, they had ecclesiastical courts. These courts lasted long after the Catholics had been suppressed in England, and in fact were used for many purposes. But when the state became the church is likely the point where marriages became state legal issues for the people of England.


    That being said, previous to the state assumption of these abilities, marriage obviously had civil ramifications which varied from area to area, which is why ecclesiastical courts were necessary. These courts needed the approval of the local monarch, or in the case of Poland and Switzerland, the local nobles.
    You're starting with a false assumption, that churches ever had the exclusive right to marry couples. They didn't, anymore than the ritual of baptism made them the originators of naming people.





    Marriage has always been a matter of property and ownership and as such has always been a civil matter. In theocratic states the church controls such functions, that never made them exclusive church functions.





    Maybe you should rethink your claim, since only the secular consequences of marriage matter under the law. A marriage without a State endorsement would have no legal basis, and as such wouldn't be considered in any sort of property settlements.

    What is your take on swinging for couples?

    My man and I of 7 years are getting back together and I want to experiment with other couples and other women. We did have a threesome with one chick wile we were broken up and I enjoyed it allot. I want to know what other people think about this subject. Do you do it, how has the outcome been? If you don't do it why not? Also if you know of any ware I can get information on this a link to a web page would be awesome.


    AmandaWhat is your take on swinging for couples?
    i dont think there is anything wrong with it as long as the lines of communication stay open.





    i havent but i would given the opportunity. What is your take on swinging for couples?
    It can be great, but only if everyone involved is totally into it. All sorts of interesting combinations become possible.


    The best for us lasted from 9 pm until sunup!


    The worst for me was back in college, when a former gf asked me to do a threesome with her and her female friend. This was supposed to be therapy, since her friend had been violently raped four months before and was hating men. Man, was that a tense experience. No fun at all.


    Good luck!
    That is gross for one and two that is just like cheating on someone who knows it and likes it....sick

    Why do some people stare at interracial couples in this day and age?

    I mean it has to be somewhat normalized in their minds by now. It happens so much. I am married to a white man and we live in a pretty diverse upper class area yet we still get stares from a lot of people.





    I am quite shy so I don't like the attention.Why do some people stare at interracial couples in this day and age?
    It might be because they envy you and it might not be a race thing at all





    SteveCWhy do some people stare at interracial couples in this day and age?
    Because it's unnatural and immoral for different races to mix. Quite frankly I find it disgusting, and I am entitled to my opinion.





    Despite years of programming to make us believe that race-mixing is okay, most people of all races tend to avoid it and stick to our own kind.
    I want to understand you but I'm having a hard time doing it few minuets ago you were trashing the white man now you are asking us why people


    stare at you? and your white man for you been shy you have many issues with your self
    Because minorities are leeches. Everyone knows it. The only way that minorities can move up in society is to marry a white person. That is why minorities find white people so glamourous.
    Sadly, there are plenty of people that are still close minded, and consider an interracial marriage or relation as a threat to end race (white or black)
    Here you said you didn't like white men


    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;…





    and now you're married to one? are you bipolar?
    I don't know??? Cos white people be tripping


    My mom and I get that ';Is that your daughter?'; ';Is she adopted'; questions


    And we live in a urban city with all types of people
    What is ';this day and age'; trying to imply? The day of legal ';race mixing';?








    Haha, whatever, I don't want to know.
    interracial couples scare me.
    I stare and shoot dirty looks at them because they deserve it. I am morally opposed to tht act.
    Stare back and say ';hi';
    who cares ask questions that matter
    No one does, it's all in your head.
    Say hi and blow kisses I do lol
    maybe you two are wonderful to look at

    Is the current GOP platform opposing gay couples having children about to change ?

    The GOP was opposed to child-bearing outside marriage and especially gay couples having children. Yet one of the top officers of the GOP, Dick Cheney, is OK with his daughter Mary having a child with her girlfriend. At the upcoming GOP convention, will Dick Cheney introduce a platform that endorses gays having children or will Mary Cheney, a GOP worker, do it instead of Dad?Is the current GOP platform opposing gay couples having children about to change ?
    THE REPUBLICANS ARE TRULY HYPOCRITES ON THE ISSUE OF ABORTION ,AND GAYS IN THIS COUNTRY Is the current GOP platform opposing gay couples having children about to change ?
    Gay couples can't have children :) Speaking strictly anatomically.


    I think it is just a few bad apples pandering for 'evangelical' votes that refuse to tolerate gay marriages. Don't let them represent the party. Republicans and 'conservativism' have been slurred, and even conservatism has developed an unusual double meaning of both social conservatism and economic conservatism. True republicans are for low taxes and low government interference. Recently this has been betrayed.
    Nope! And Mr.Cheney is a father, and representative of what many parents must face in today's world. Because his daughter has made this choice does not change the GOP platform. Your childish and immature question is surly a venting tool after seeing your candidate get smoked last night. Enjoy it kid, as it will last for weeks here at Y/A!


    ======================================鈥?br>




    Exxon ranting liberal needs intensive mental assistance, and soon.
    No the GOP has too much sense to allow such a convoluted, disgusting issue to take the limelight.





    The GOP is the party more about common sense, decency, logic, faith, pro-American and Pro-military issues and Dick Cheney or whomever isn't going to change the stance of the platform because they have a homos*xual somewhere in their family linage.
    That will never happen. If McCain does become President, he will not have the power to change the status quo,





    Cheney is a father. He loves his daughter no matter what. Doesn't mean he likes or believes in her life style.
    GOP opposes any thing but their own regardless of their poor performance.

    Thx guys!How did the State begin to marry couples?
    Since the government was formed, marriage was conducted by officials in order to legitimize couples that have no religion due to the freedom of not joining a religion and separation of state from church.

  • If there were only two homosexual couples left on earth?

    A total of four people in homosexual relationships. Male/male and female/female. Would they allow the human race to become extinct? Would they do what comes naturally and form a heterosexual union in order to reproduce?If there were only two homosexual couples left on earth?
    you're wrong in assuming that its not natural to be homosexual.If there were only two homosexual couples left on earth?
    They would do what comes unnaturally, and have sex with people they aren't attracted to in order to attempt to propagate the human race.
    We're doomed.
    they would probably try and keep the human race going but from then on everybody would probably be bi:) which would be ok with me
    That hypotetics questions needs an hypotetic answer.


    Let's say that it is possible to repoblate earth with a straight couple.





    The natural way of reproduce, in this case, should be dissmissed, however, if the intention is approved, I mean, they both agree to do such a thing, there are several obstacles that need to be passed.





    First obstacle, the physical effect that is making a man capable to make work his reproducitve organ into the women. if he could not concetrate enough for that, it is not possible. but let's say that it is possible to do it. Then second, if there is a male and female who agree just to do it for the permanence of human race, they would follow the jealusy of their couples.


    The caring of the child should be made for the four persons, the discussion of who are the parents of the children should be distributed for the four.





    I think the science would be working great here. Making a probet child. Then the discussion would be which geens should they take. ha ha.!
    Bigots love to pose impossible scenarios. Amusing, really.





    ';Do what comes naturally'; doesn't apply, since for me it wouldn't be natural. Would I do it? Of course.





    And for the record: If the moon really were made of green cheese, Kraft WOULD have a mining operation up there by now.
    if it was up to me, the human race would die! just because
    Well our version would probably be a little better than the incestuous one in the bible.














    L
    ha ha ha, girls are icky and i dont really like people so id just stay away from those girls lol.





    ha ha i dont know, i guess we would have to, for the sake of humanity. we would have to keep track of who came from who tho, so we can make sure theres no incest. after the babies are born, each couple could just divide the babies up and take them. each couple should make like 3 babies and then the one that came from woman one would stay with the women and the ones that came from woman number 2 would be given to the men. id have to be like that, or else there would be incest. so gross. i hope it never comes to that.
    Wouldn't matter if they're heterosexual. Four humans is too limited a gene pool from which a species could prosper.
    well for a start that would never happen, and if for what ever reason it did and they did reproduce, their children could all be the same sex, and if they were to opposite sex it could lead to inbreeding...








    DURR
    what would it matter? you couldnt repopulate the earth with just 4 people, by the third generation it would all be incestuous any way so why bother? and also if it came to it, would the human race be worth saving?
    rational and intellectual thinking would take over.





    we (like I'm one of those people..lol) would understand that we need to continue the species. we'd make the sacrifices for the better good.





    it would most likely take a large amount of alcohol in order to make this happen, but sometimes, you have to do what you have to do.
    I'm sure they'd get their priorities straight and propagate, We're not selfish monsters, you know. As for the union part, Marriage is required for kids? 14 year old pregnant girls would like a word with you. And so would gay couples who adopt or have kids of their own.
    Well, there's ways to get a woman pregnant without actual penetration.


    I don't want to go into too much gory detail, but it involves a spoon...
    The males could collect the semen and pass it on to the females to impregnate themselves with.





    That's probably what would happen in your hypothetical scenario.
    If there were only two heterosexual couples left on earth, we would become extinct. You need a large number of diverse pairs to propogate a population.





    Anyway ';do what comes naturally'; to you is obviously NOT ';what comes naturally'; to them.

    What do you think of wedding couples that throw different colours of paint over eachother after their wedding?

    would you do this having a chance wearing your wedding clothes? do you think its a good way of trashing the dress %26amp; having some fun with it?What do you think of wedding couples that throw different colours of paint over eachother after their wedding?
    not gonna lie that would be awesome. I mean if you wanted to keep your dress then that would be bad but if you didn't care I think it would be really cool... although wedding dresses are expensive or just get another dress to trash..... lol but I would consider it for my wedding.... which won't be happening for at least a few years seeing as i'm not engaged... anyways back on topic.... it would also make really cool pictures! and potentially a cool dress depending on the colors that are used.... wow..... now i have so many ideas about what you could do with it after you trashed it....... lol (i have a very vivid imagination)What do you think of wedding couples that throw different colours of paint over eachother after their wedding?
    Sounds like a fun idea. But isn't the groom's tux rented? Won't he have to pay for it or damages to it?





    As for the wedding dress, I would probably buy 2 dresses. One I would keep and a cheaper one I got on sale for the paint party.





    I paid 600.00 for my wedding dress and 1500.00 for my daughter's. After the wedding's we had them cleaned and sold them to someone that couldn't afford to spend what we did but wanted a beautiful dress. They were happy and so were we.





    It's all up to you ! If its what you want go for it. Would love to see the pictures.
    This sounds immature and ridiculous to most of us undoubtedly, however the wedding day is THEIR day. What one couple would choos to incorporate in their special day/vows/ceremony could very well make others walk away shaking their heads but as long as there is freedom of choice within our society people will choose to do things that express in some way who they are and what some of their life or culture are about. Perhaps they are artistic and playful in nature? My husband and I combined many of our native and ukrainian cultural traditions within our wedding ceremony.
    As a pro wedding photographer and former bride, YES! That's amazing! If you want to save your dress, obviously don't do that. But very many brides these days are ';trashing'; the dress in unique ways and having a photo shoot in the meantime.





    Brides usually think of it along the lines of, ';I'm married now, I will be with this man for the rest of my life and I won't need to keep my dress because I'll never need it again anyway.';



    i've never even heard of this happening before... have you seen pictures of people doing it?





    i have heard of brides and grooms who go into the ocean or ponds with their wedding outfits on for neat and different pictures, but never paint.





    i would never do it because my dress will be quite expensive. but i would do something like going into the ocean/body of water with a really cheap mock-dress for some artsy pictures post wedding.
    I personally don't think I'd do it. But, to each their own. I think people should do whatever makes them happy. This isn't hurting anyone. It might make for some really cute pics. I maybe wouldn't do this in front of wedding guests. It might send the wrong impression.
    The dress and garter at one time was a symbol of the bride's virginity, now considered 'clean slate' of the marriage.





    If you want to trash the dress, have it created out of toilet paper.
    I've never seen this in all the weddings I've been to, and that's a lot! why destroy the dress? if you really don't want to keep it, put it on ebay and at least get some $$. throwing paint on it is like burning cash.
    i wouldn't b/c mine is on the beach and sand would get in the paint. i think it's a cute idea though. it's not like you're ever going to wear the dress again. it's like making a piece of art out of it.
    I would think that they had absolutely no reverence for their wedding vows whatsoever.
    Why the hell would anyone throw paint???? All that is going to do is ruin your outfits and make a mess everywhere.
    I would absolutely object and resist this
    It sounds like fun.... but not in the expensive wedding dress and suit!
    I think it's stupid and I generally don't think well of the couple.

    I mean adult movies that teaches on how to have a fulfilling love making or sexual intercourse. please be decent with your response.Is it Godly for christian married couples to be watching adult movies?
    I feel that each person has their own convictions, of what is right or wrong. If you feel it's wrong or un christian like that is up to you and your spouse. One should enjoy their spouse in every way possible. Especially if its to keep excitement in the bedroom. Sex is a big part of a marriage. Why would it be wrong to use resources to help?Is it Godly for christian married couples to be watching adult movies?
    There are lots of instructional DVDs that you and your spouse can watch to help enhance your love making.





    Because they are instructional in nature, they don't contain actions or speech that may offend. While they are still enjoyable to watch. (You won't feel like you're watching a boring lecture.)





    The descriptions of the movies will very clearly tell you what to expect in that particular DVD.





    You should enjoy yourself and your spouse.
