Cuba, its cheap and nice.What good mini vacations are out there for couples who only have 3 days or so to get away? Somewhere hot!!!?
It would be helpful it you stated what part of the US because if you only have three days, you don't want to spend too much time traveling.
Here's an idea on the east coast...
It's a charming beach town in Florida called -- Delray Beach, Florida!
It's a fun Caribbean-type, laid-back beach town with fun vibrations and charm! Vibrant and lively nightlife and nice upscale restaurants and sidewalk bistros.
Awesome weather all winter long!!! Easily in the 80's. Perfect beach weather and bikini weather!
http://www.i-love-delray-beach.com/delra鈥?/a>
And there is a hotel there that totally resembles the Caribbean -- Crane's Beach House and Tiki Bar. It has also been rated as one of the most romantic hotels.
They have reggae music, white sandy beach area, and a tiki bar. Here are some photos of the hotel...

The coastal islands of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida make a great mini-vacation, or full vacation! They're easy to get to, beautiful, and warm. In South Carolina, you have Kiawah Island and Hilton Head Island. Kiawah is great if you are looking for luxury, relaxation, nature and romance. It's also just outside Charleston, South Carolina so you have access to all the restaurants and activity there. Hilton Head is for a more active beach vacation and is also a beautiful spot.
In Georgia, Tybee Island is a laid-back getaway only 30 minutes from Savannah, Georgia - another great place to explore while you're in the area! Savannah's quaint inns, excellent restaurants, and beautiful scenery make it a romantic trip for couples. Jekyll Island is less than 2 hours from Savannah is another quiet spot offering a lush coastal habitat, a lot of history, and a grand, historic hotel.
In Florida, Amelia Island is just off the coast of northern Florida and has a gorgeous beach, lots to do and a fun, historic city (Fernandina Beach).
I have plenty of information and personal recommendations for hotels, restaurants, activities, local events and more on my site about these islands at www.sea-islands-vacation.com.
A lot depends on your budget, your interests, and your location.
Assuming you can afford to fly, there are spas and resorts of every type, in every type of climate, in reach. Seek one where people honeymoon and you'll know for sure that 'romantic' tone is a given (rather than golf, or tourism activities, for instance).
Try to find a location within a three- or four-hour flight, so you don't spend too much of your three precious days getting there and back.
We've enjoyed Tucson, Cape Cod, and Corpus Christi for just lolling around doing nothing much in gorgeous hotels; San Francisco, New York, Boston, and Chicago for sports, theatre, concerts, and fine dining; the Catskills and the Adirondacks, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon for hiking.

Some claim gays shouldn't marry because they can't reproduce? Does this make sterile couples sinful also?
Should they also be prevented from marrying because they can't reproduce?Some claim gays shouldn't marry because they can't reproduce? Does this make sterile couples sinful also?
Marriage, at least a healthy marriage, should ALWAYS be about love, loyalty, and companionship. ALL couples who have those three things should be allowed to marry. Reproduction shouldn't have anything to do with it. Our population is high enough as it is. We NEED couples who can adopt -- that goes for gay couples, sterile couples, and couples who choose not to bear their own children.Some claim gays shouldn't marry because they can't reproduce? Does this make sterile couples sinful also?
I don't see how a legal contract of marriage between two people, which has NOTHING to do with religion, shouldn't be legal for same sex partners.
The only argument that I have heard that is reasonable, is the ';slippery slope'; argument. That if we say it's ok for two men to get married to each other, then why not brother/sister, etc.
Most of the arguments are just pathetic and sad as the one you pointed out.
That is a stupid excuse! If being gay is wrong (and I'm not saying it is) then it wouldn't be about reproducing! Many straight couples chose not to have kids and that isn't wrong!
If marriage is a sacred religious institution, then should atheist couples be allowed to marry?
(The answer is yes)
Apparently.
Also, atheists shouldn't marry either because marriage is supposed to be ';in the eyes of GAWD.';
No, you must understand that gays cant marry because God ordained marriage to be between a man and a woman. so couples that cant have children are doing nothing wrong.
It's a straw argument, just like all the arguments against gay marriage. Pretty pathetic, isn't it?
YES, if it is between two sterile male or between two sterile female.
Peace!
Blind people cant drive cars, Are you suggesting deaf people shouldnt be able to drive just to make it fair?

Are we too young for couples counseling?
boyfriend and i have been togethr for 4 years
currently separated for 1 month
brokeup because he hit me PLUS we really did need a break
hes my first bf im his first gf
were both 20
im not running to get back together with him %26amp; dont wanna think about that for a a few more months ...like 6-8mnthz but if we did, we would need counseling for sure
is it worth it? or are we too young?Are we too young for couples counseling?
Jessy, don't.
You got rid of an abuser good for you, now look toward the future and to meet someone else, someone better.
Abusers don't change and those who do they do it later in life when they pass 50 and 60 and have had a life time of hurting people around them.
You started dating you were 16, you're now 20, you have grown into a young woman with different goals, aspirations, needs. This man does not suits you anymore.
Couples conselling are for people in a marriage, with children, houses, assets and they need to work their problems. When we're 20 and our boyfriend hit us, we leave him!Are we too young for couples counseling?
You are NEVER too young or too old for couples counseling. In all honesty, a man hitting me under any circumstances is grounds for termination of the relationship (same should hold true for a woman hitting a man). But if you want to give things a shot in counseling, I am very supportive of that. There is no magic in the ';I am his first girlfriend and he is my first boyfriend'; thing. I see way too many couples who think there is something sacred about being each other's ';first'; and that the relationship should be salvaged at all costs with that as a primary reason. It is not a reason at all, honey. Find a good counselor who specializes in couple counseling (yeah, we all have our specialties), do everything that the counselor recommends and see where things go from there. I wish you two well.
No, you're not too young, but think about it; guys that hit girls aren't very likely to just stop after a session with a therapist. It's hard to move on when it's been so long, and we women tend to create patterns when it comes to realationships that we have a hard time breaking, but be good to yourself. Find a guy that respects you and won't physically, or in any other way, hurt you. Too many girls get stuck in that cycle. It's really hard when you haven't ever been with anyone else, but that can also be a problem. Guys can get weirldy obsessed with their first kiss or first girlfriend - and it's not a good thing, and places the girl in a strange, dependent, one-sided relationship. This may be a good thing that it's ended, hun.
If he hit you, then that's the only significant issue in all this. That might be the part you are too young to see. And I'd agree that counseling is a good idea, but not couples counseling. He needs individual counseling to figure out why he has anger problems, and you need individual counseling to figure out why your self-esteem is so low that you got involved with someone like him in the first place, and why you'd even be thinking of the possibility of getting back with him.
I do think it's really smart of you to break it off, because many people don't. And suddenly it's 10 years later, they are battered and bruised, they have little kids who are totally disturbed and they're scared to walk out their front door.
You've taken the hardest step, so just keep looking forward to a future that doesn't include someone who would hit you. This never gets better over time - it gets much worse, and you will not be the exception to that rule.
They don't care how young you are to go to counseling. I actually know a married couple (who is just a few years older than you) who have a wonderful relationship but go to counseling just to keep it a wonderful relationship. However, why don't you try to find someone else instead maybe even someone better before you even try to make it work with him.
You are never too young for counseling but in this case just go your separate ways and be done with it. You are not married, you don't mention children, there is no reason to have to work this hard on your relationship.
It's been my personal experience that once a person crosses that line, and physically abuses their significant other, there is no going back. The abuse continues and it just gets worse over time. Forget about him and move on.
I read everything you wrote.
So what is the marriage/divorce question that you have?
He hit you, he'll do it again. Thank your lucky stars you're out of this mess.
Too young?!?!?!
Hon, they will take your money regardless age!
good luck

Should homosexual male couples be allowed to adopt boys?
I don't like the idea, I sense a big controversy over that in the future.Should homosexual male couples be allowed to adopt boys?
It sounds like you are assuming that homosexuals are all pedophiles. Is this true?
Why not also assume that heterosexual men would have prurient interests in their female daughters, whether adopted or not? The logic is the same.Should homosexual male couples be allowed to adopt boys?
Did you know that most boys who were molested by older men were molested by a ';straight'; married uncle, grandparent, or their own father. Being gay doesn't make you a pedophile, and it annoys me that the Catholic Priests are making everyone look bad. Actually, while we're on the subject, should Catholic males be allowed to adopt little boys? Seems more dangerous to me.
Let me calm your never then. Gay people don't raise gay children (unless the child is gay). (Just as straight parents don't always raise straight children.) Adoption and raising kids is a lot work. Being a parent is a full-time job. Anyone who wants to sacrifice their time and adopt and give a child a family and a home deserves to have that.
Okay, so socially to some people that doesn't sound so good. Some people like yourself are uncomfortable with the idea. That's cool. But would you rather see a child have a home and a family or not? I feel it'd take a really cold-hearted person to deny a child a family just because of parent's orientation.
And believe it or not, this does happen in nature too. Animals raising young that aren't their own that are of the same sex. Not too too common, but it does happen.
Yes, yes and yes!
Why not?
Because they like other males, and that exposes children to sex abuse?
If it is for that, then straight dads shouldn't have girls!
Because they'll make him gay?
People can't make others gay. Or you are gay or you're not.
I don't see that much controversy in my crystal ball.
Wow. Umm I heard a story about a man in his mid 40s that adopted a girl from Russia, he abused her, starved her, raped her, and made her lie to authorities. Now was this man gay? No.
Just because a gay man likes men, this does not go to say that he likes little boys. Do YOU?
Would you rather have the child languish in foster care? At least if a homosexual male couple adopts the kid, he'll have a relatively stable home. What matters is that the kid has loving and supportive parents.
Should heterosexual single men be allowed to adopt girls?
Obviously they have to be careful. A couple is less likely to be a threat than a single man of any orientation.
Using your same logic you can therefore conclude that all heterosexual men will molest their female adopted children!!
Please say you see the jump in logic there. It's a rather absurd leap, don't ya think? :@)
There shouldnt be anything wrong with it. The only thing that might happen is the gay parents turn the kid gay. But thats still a might, and not something thats bad. There isnt anything wrong with it in my mind.
I guess I'm missing something. We allow heterosexual males to adopt girls, don't we? So, what's your issue?
What makes a homosexual couple less equipped to raise a boy?
Well...men adopt little girls. It's not any different. As long as they aren't pedophiles, it really should not be a factor.
Yes. I dont see the big deal about whether they adopt a girl or a boy.
Why wouldn't they be allowed to?
as long as they aren't pedophiles yes.
yes i think they should i don't see anything against it
i think that gay couples should only be allowed to adopt children of the opposite sex. that way there is no suspicion on their character and children will get adopted. do I think It'll happen...?? No... because so many gay people seeking to adopt children seem to want children of the same sex as them for some reason... strange.....
No, No, and No. Neither should females.
personally, i don't agree with it. i think it is a way to indirectly produce more gay men.
If the childs not born gay it might make him gay when it grows up. Not natural. No No No

Why should couples who have NO kids, pay taxes for schools?
i think its stupid myselfWhy should couples who have NO kids, pay taxes for schools?
For the same reason people with no cars pay road maintenance taxes. It's called community.Why should couples who have NO kids, pay taxes for schools?
jimdemes is right. Heck, we homeschool and I'd LOVE to have the money we pay in school taxes every year to do it. But I have to help educate other kids, too, so they'll take care of me when I'm old and they're doctors and lawyers and members of Congress.
Because our school system helps to improve our economy (if it has enough funding to work optimally and efficiently). An improved economy means that all American citizens benefit from higher wage and better social services, among the thousands of other benefits.
because the government are shite
The same reason why Social Security and Medicare are taken from our pay checks. We are a symbiotic society. We all help one another.
why do people with no cars pay road tax?
For the same reason people who don't drive pay taxes for roads. Although you may not directly benefit from a service, you indirectly benefit from it in many ways. As a citizen of the US, it's your duty to pay taxes for services you may not use directly, like it or not.
Yes, because school would be too expensive for couples with kids. Some would not be able to afford it. Public school also benefits people who never have kids. In 50 years it would be hard to find a doctor or a lawyer because how will they get a college degree if they didn't even go to 1st grade because their parents couldn't afford it.
BECAUSE THEY LIVE IN THE CITY...
Because that couple went to school because some other childless couple paid tax
Even they dont have kids they are members of a community which care about education. Do you think that those taxes are enoough to support even minimum education..?
To ensure that the kids of today grow up to be intelligent, hard working, productive members of society
Imagine two societies, one in which most people have at least a basic education. These people are able to work in jobs and positions that offer the services that we all need to funcion as a successful society. Now imagine a society where half of the people or more do not have a basic education. These people will not be productive members of society, instead, they will become a burden on society, seeking federal programs for economic assistance, seeking money that will be coming out of your pocket anyways, one way or another. Which society would you rather live in?

question is part of a academic essay, so please quote author/scholar/study and provide links, references or source of data. TksWhat are the sociological and anthropological reasons for couples to have children? please quote scholar/study
The sociological reasons are clear. It is for love and to keep the blood line going.
Since this is a sociology forum, there will be no conclusive anthropological reasoning forthcoming.
But it was a good try.What are the sociological and anthropological reasons for couples to have children? please quote scholar/study
Well, I'm not using any citations, because I definitely feel you should do your research yourself.
I would say that people have children not only because we are biologically predisposed to perpetuate our species, but because it is normative. Procreation is an important part of culture everywhere, no matter whereyou go.
I would do some work with Emile Durkheim and his concept of Anomie. Women who choose not to have children are considered strange, and in many ways, outcasts. Couples who chose not to bring children in the world are often questioned and pressured about their family choices.
Breaking a social norm can be easy, but is rarely pleasant.
Do your own freaking work...I'm sure you'd love links and resources and data. Why don't you try the library, the internet, scholarly journals, and hey I know, even books.

Is a marriage strenghtened if both couples have the same occupation?
Not if one career goes skyward at the expense of the other. Usually the woman ends up looking after the kids. These people I just wrote about, the man has a great Uni job and the woman stopped work when she had kids. They met outside their professors door in Cambridge. Sad story, huh? Except the kids are fantastic!Is a marriage strenghtened if both couples have the same occupation?
strengthening of marriage is not about having the same occupation but about love, trust, faithfulness and commitment.Is a marriage strenghtened if both couples have the same occupation?
in a way, yes. at least they both understand the demands of their occupation. but i don't think it's ideal for 2 lawyers to hook up.
It is a real benefit to have the same work in common with each other. It creates a better understanding of what each has to do all day. As long as they are not in competition with each other in their field. It can be a healthy support system.
Sharing matters....share interests....experiences....hobbies.....鈥?assets
i wouldn't mind if my wife had the same occupation as I,but i wouldn't want to work with her at the same place on the same shift.even if it is just work,i gotta have some kind of a break.that 24/7 would have us at each others throat.lol
They should pull their resources and go into bussiness together.
Depends. It can be a pro because the couple will have a lot more in common. It can also be a con, especially if the occupation is competitive and one spouse outshines the other.
The circumstances don't matter. Religion, money, cheating, occupation, nothing matters!!! Marriage will destroy your relationship!!!oil companies

Should Catholic adoption agencies that refuse same-sex couples be forced to change their policies?
No, because we have the freedom of religion in the U.S., and also because there are plenty of non-Catholic adoption agencies. In fact, the Catholic ones are in the minority, so it's easier to find a non-Catholic agency than it is to find a Catholic one.Should Catholic adoption agencies that refuse same-sex couples be forced to change their policies?
Due to their being a religious based organization the answer would be no due to separation of church and state. That separation ends when they are financed with pubic monies. Also as Bash so aptly put it they should be ashamed of themselves with their hate agenda hurting innocent children. But then when the Catholic priest were and likely still are abusing children that too was ok. The agenda of hate put forth by the so called religious right is a true abomination in the eyes of God. Hate is not a ';Christian'; value, but it is a value of the Catholic church!

Reformed Catholic!Should Catholic adoption agencies that refuse same-sex couples be forced to change their policies?
Nope. But if they are federally funded they should. If they are a strictly private operation, they should be free to make their own rules...but taking our money for their operation expenses makes them subject to our federal and state laws....or SHOULD make them subject to our laws. The Boy Scouts discriminate against gay people ....while also getting a TON of federal money. That SHOULD be illegal. State agencies--foster care--also is currently allowed to discriminate against both gay and single parent adoptions in states where they have 'outlawed' gay and single adoption. In Arkansas alone, this has caused the disruption of 12,000 families....12,000 children removed from their homes because the Christian Family Values Council of Arkansas received a majority vote to ban gay people AND single people from adopting.
3 million children are in foster care awaiting homes. You would think that 'Christians' would support children receiving a loving home and family over bigotry.....well more than half of our foster children never find homes and age out of the system at 18. Their lives are disproportionately more likely to include lower educational levels, poverty, crime, teen pregnancy, substance abuse, cutting, bulimia and anorexia, and suicide. 40% higher rates than children who were adopted by ANY family who loved and wanted them.
Yes, if they are licensed by the state, and all child placing agencies must be licensed! They can refuse to be licensed and quit doing adoptions!
Only if they are sponsored by the government. Though I think it's horrible to deny a child a home and love just because it happens to be two males or two females.
Not if they are a private agency. If they want public funds... they have to abide by the government's policies.
No.
If the parents were Catholic, they would have not wanted same sex adopted parents.
No.
Go see a non catholic agency.
If you think so.
Separation of Church and State, NO
No...
Are you trying to kill God?
No. It is their right as a business
Gross...no!

Married couples: Do you live paycheck to paycheck?
My husband works full time. I stay home with our 2 young children. He gets stressed about money sometimes as we all do. All the bills are paid on time every month and we have close to $900 left over after all the bills are accounted for every month. He still freaks and worries that we're going to go bankrupt. Do you have a similar situation?
Please don't respond if you are not in or have not been in a similar situation.Married couples: Do you live paycheck to paycheck?
I have lived paycheck to paycheck. I don't anymore but I did for a very long time. When you have you never forget the struggles and it makes you appreciate life so much more. When I did I would have loved to be able to pay my bills on time and still have that much money left over!
You may not be wealthy but Your situation could be so much worse. Your husband really needs to start counting his blessings and be grateful for all that he has.Married couples: Do you live paycheck to paycheck?
Yes we did for a little while. This was when we first got married and I just graduated from college. It was tough at first. When I was single before, I had money to have fun with and buy anything I wanted and save since I wasn't in school and I was just working to save for college.
Things were tough when my husband's foot got ran over by a truck last March and he was out of work for 3 months. I was the only one working even though he got disability, not much.
I learned how much to spread out a dollar. I feel that those that struggle really learn to appreciate what they have and that it could be gone in a second.
When I went through hard times, even though I am not financially 'rich', my character is the thing that is rich. A life lesson is worth more than money can buy.
When we leave this earth, we don't take money with us wherever we go. But we sure do take everything with us that we learned in life.
Bless the rocky road!
I've been there, many of us have. Things get better if you come up with a budget and a plan that you both agree on. BUT you do have to splurge every once in a while and have a date night with your husband. So what if you spend $50 on a meal? It's an investment in your relationship and you need to do that from time to time.
Good luck.
but do you put the 900 dollars in savings? if you make sure you put it in savings after each month find a way to show him the progress and the money accumulating in savings. Ask him if he'd like you to do something from home that could generate some amount of money, big or small. Ex avon etc. You could also point out the money ya'll save by you staying home! childcare is so expensive and would most likely take one of your paychecks especially with two kids.
I wish I had 900 left over after all our bills are paid!!! We seriously live paycheck to paycheck, and can barely keep our heads above water.. We make okay money, are hard workers, and have nice things(house, car, etc) Sometimes I wish we lived in a mobile home so that we had extra money, and money to put into savings.
Hard Times, hard Times
Best of Luck**
We do not live paycheck to paycheck. We own everything that we have including our house. We have money in the bank and put more there every pay day. We are 41 and 42. He still freaks over things. He stresses over the insurances being due, the property taxes. He acts like we have .42 to get us through. It can be quite tiring.
we both work full-time, and make good money between the two of us. Unfortunately my husband makes us live from pay cheque to pay cheque - he seem to love to purchase things on credit, and make sure that every penny is used up each month. I hate it.
I've never had to live paycheck to paycheck - my husband has in the past prior to me however -
He pays out over $600 a month just in childsupport
We do live paycheck to paycheck. We both work. There are 6 kids total. And we r broke all the time. But not everyone is that way.

Does anyone know a chatting website for couples?

Why do some married couples not talk to each other.?
I don't understand I talk to my wife 1-2 hrs. every morning and the same at night. Just to see what's happening with her and our family.Why do some married couples not talk to each other.?
Blanket statements are rarely true. I know some couples married for 40 -50 or more years that are deeply in love with each other and don't spend a great deal of time talking. They just are present for each other and just know how each other feels. Look, some couples are not so needy. They talk but long conversations about a bunch of nonsense is just not their way.
I admit there are some people not in tune or in step with each other. I also admit that communication is important in a marriage. Not being present or sensitive to each others needs is hurtful and counterproductive.
But I can sit next to my wife of 30 years in the living room and she can be working on a crosstitch and I can be pounding these keys and go for hours without more than ';hey dear do you want some more tea and an occasional hey I love ya';. A little bun grab doesn't hurt either!
It is the presence and conscious being together that counts.
That being said it is important for a couple who wish to be together for a long term relationship especially marriage to be sure they both feel the same way or at least be sensitive to the others needs for more open communication.Why do some married couples not talk to each other.?
I don't understand it either. Even when we aren't getting along or have bickered that day, we still have conversations daily. Whether its bills, the kids, the house or how his day at work was. It is so important to feel connected to your spouses' individual life.
in my oipinion, if there is to much of each other, the couple tend to get bored, they lost topics to share so they simply want silence between them. at times, they need to miss each other for them to keep the communication going.
Yeah, us too. I don't get it either. Even when we weren't getting along we still talked and had sex. You stop communicating and stop being intimate and you're headed for a cliff.
That's because their relationship was started with sex and not communication. They married for lust and not love.
Some people don't get along. It seems this way with each of my marriages. The men just don't talk.

Things were tough when my husband's foot got ran over by a truck last March and he was out of work for 3 months. I was the only one working even though he got disability, not much.
I learned how much to spread out a dollar. I feel that those that struggle really learn to appreciate what they have and that it could be gone in a second.
When I went through hard times, even though I am not financially 'rich', my character is the thing that is rich. A life lesson is worth more than money can buy.
When we leave this earth, we don't take money with us wherever we go. But we sure do take everything with us that we learned in life.
Bless the rocky road!
I've been there, many of us have. Things get better if you come up with a budget and a plan that you both agree on. BUT you do have to splurge every once in a while and have a date night with your husband. So what if you spend $50 on a meal? It's an investment in your relationship and you need to do that from time to time.
Good luck.
but do you put the 900 dollars in savings? if you make sure you put it in savings after each month find a way to show him the progress and the money accumulating in savings. Ask him if he'd like you to do something from home that could generate some amount of money, big or small. Ex avon etc. You could also point out the money ya'll save by you staying home! childcare is so expensive and would most likely take one of your paychecks especially with two kids.
I wish I had 900 left over after all our bills are paid!!! We seriously live paycheck to paycheck, and can barely keep our heads above water.. We make okay money, are hard workers, and have nice things(house, car, etc) Sometimes I wish we lived in a mobile home so that we had extra money, and money to put into savings.
Hard Times, hard Times
Best of Luck**
We do not live paycheck to paycheck. We own everything that we have including our house. We have money in the bank and put more there every pay day. We are 41 and 42. He still freaks over things. He stresses over the insurances being due, the property taxes. He acts like we have .42 to get us through. It can be quite tiring.
we both work full-time, and make good money between the two of us. Unfortunately my husband makes us live from pay cheque to pay cheque - he seem to love to purchase things on credit, and make sure that every penny is used up each month. I hate it.
I've never had to live paycheck to paycheck - my husband has in the past prior to me however -
He pays out over $600 a month just in childsupport
We do live paycheck to paycheck. We both work. There are 6 kids total. And we r broke all the time. But not everyone is that way.

Why do some married couples not talk to each other.?
I don't understand I talk to my wife 1-2 hrs. every morning and the same at night. Just to see what's happening with her and our family.Why do some married couples not talk to each other.?
Blanket statements are rarely true. I know some couples married for 40 -50 or more years that are deeply in love with each other and don't spend a great deal of time talking. They just are present for each other and just know how each other feels. Look, some couples are not so needy. They talk but long conversations about a bunch of nonsense is just not their way.
I admit there are some people not in tune or in step with each other. I also admit that communication is important in a marriage. Not being present or sensitive to each others needs is hurtful and counterproductive.
But I can sit next to my wife of 30 years in the living room and she can be working on a crosstitch and I can be pounding these keys and go for hours without more than ';hey dear do you want some more tea and an occasional hey I love ya';. A little bun grab doesn't hurt either!
It is the presence and conscious being together that counts.
That being said it is important for a couple who wish to be together for a long term relationship especially marriage to be sure they both feel the same way or at least be sensitive to the others needs for more open communication.Why do some married couples not talk to each other.?
I don't understand it either. Even when we aren't getting along or have bickered that day, we still have conversations daily. Whether its bills, the kids, the house or how his day at work was. It is so important to feel connected to your spouses' individual life.
in my oipinion, if there is to much of each other, the couple tend to get bored, they lost topics to share so they simply want silence between them. at times, they need to miss each other for them to keep the communication going.
Yeah, us too. I don't get it either. Even when we weren't getting along we still talked and had sex. You stop communicating and stop being intimate and you're headed for a cliff.
That's because their relationship was started with sex and not communication. They married for lust and not love.
Some people don't get along. It seems this way with each of my marriages. The men just don't talk.

Are there any married couples who indulged in a threesome only to regret it afterwards? If so, why?
Threesome yes, regret no.Are there any married couples who indulged in a threesome only to regret it afterwards? If so, why?
Yes, we've indulged in many threesomes with other women and men throughout our marriage, and no, we don't regret them at all. Well, maybe one, because he ended-up being a complete jerk when we got to the hotel room and Mrs. kicked him out. That was a waste of $100 for a room. But between Mrs. and I? No. Our marriage was strong before we started swinging, we both have sexual fantasies that include more than just us being in the bed at the same time, we are both secure in ourselves and in each other, and our marriage has only gotten better since.
Today we communicate at a level light years above our non-swinger married friends. Not only are we lovers, we're also each others best friend. And the level of honesty and trust swinging has solidified between us is something neither of us ever thought could exist in a relationship.
We know we are ';it'; for each other. We know that each other is here because we want to be, not because we feel we have to be. We don't have to constantly think about what each other is doing or if they are doing something they are not supposed to because there is no reason for us to lie to each other... About anything. From sex to money to family matters, we are completely open and honest with each other because there is no fear of the other becoming hurt or angry or jealous by what it said.Are there any married couples who indulged in a threesome only to regret it afterwards? If so, why?
Threesomes were never a problem. It was some of the twosomes that we came to regret.
I doubt the person who claims that most marriages end up with problems because of doing a threesome has any statistics to back that up. That sort of statistic is usually pulled out the posterior rather than being done by actual research.
I haven鈥檛 personally, but I鈥檝e known a few couples who did it and every one of them regretted it big time. In one case, their marriage ended over it.
These are very 'open鈥?couples who were just looking to 鈥榮pice things up鈥?and they thought they could handle it, but they couldn鈥檛.
It is the *rare* couple who can do this and it has no effect on their marriage. In most cases, jealousy does rear its head, then its followed by anger (even though both parties agreed), and it gets worse from there.
My advice鈥攊f you鈥檙e considering this, don鈥檛. This one of those things that鈥檚 best to remain a fantasy.
When you engage in a three some, you're inviting problems maybe not right away but sooner or later you will.The person involved can become attached and can create problems later on, or your partner may think they're not truly loved or resent doing that type of thing and sometimes engage in affairs of their own, which creates problems.The other's self esteem can be effected by not feeling good enough. Most marriages end up in major trouble after doing that.I don't recommend it.
Coming from a woman it is harder the way i felt after wards was is she better then me is he going to leave me for her. And i hated felling like that, also having the feeling of another girl in my bead i hated it. but its all in the feelings, don't get me wrong i am not a prude i guess if you are going to donut do it with her best friend. but some woman say it better that way because then the girl wont turn around and have sex with him when your not there and that is not true all the time ether. But this is just my opinion. its all in the girl and what she wants. good luck.
Never did. It's already a hard row to hoe to keep your marriage satisfying and secure I don't think bringing in a third party would help
Had a few threesomes, mfm, and cuckolds with my wife of nearly 20 years with no regrets.
FFM usually is pretty safe.
MMF usually leads to problems.

Couples massage for my boyfriend and i?
so as anyone done this? I'm getting a couples massage for my boyfriend for his birthday. What should I expect?Couples massage for my boyfriend and i?
There are some place that your both able to have your massages done in the same room together, but if for some reason you're not to comfortable with that idea, you can have both massages done at the same time in different rooms. Expect to be relaxed!!Couples massage for my boyfriend and i?
A couples massage involves two people getting massages in the same room. So if you ask for a couples massage, you'll be in there together, each with your own therapist. You'll be asked to remove your clothing and get on the tables under the sheets while the therapists leave the room. Underwear is optional. However, the less area it covers, the better. I hate it when guys wear their boxers on my table because it cuts me off from accessing half their leg. And I hate it when women wear those high-waisted granny panties because they cover half their lower back and I can't reach their SI joints, or their hips.
You will be under a sheet, so it's not like you're going to be totally exposed, but some people are really squeamish about it and rather than put them in a situation where they're uncomfortable and therefore tense, I'd rather just let them keep it on in the interest of getting them to relax.
For a full body massage, you'll need at least an hour. In thirty minutes, you'd get your upper body - back, neck, and shoulders only. It's really worth it to go for the full hour, because your muscles get tense in other places besides your back, and it gives you more time to be comfortable.

$600 for individuals, $1200 for WORKING couples. Do both have to work?
I have been told couples '; married filing jointly '; both have to work before they receive the $1,200.00. Is this true? I am a stay at home Mom with no income but still file jointly. I am confused.$600 for individuals, $1200 for WORKING couples. Do both have to work?
You and me and everyone else is ahead of the game. What we have is still working documents, yes the house seems to have something final to vote on, but then comes the senate and anything can happen....they will want to include or take away something...so my best advise is that you dont take any advise that you get here....wait, like me that we have something final and in the presidents hand for signature....it will then be in all internet sites, including the house, senate and in every newspaper in the nation for us to read....and not guess or what someone says....$600 for individuals, $1200 for WORKING couples. Do both have to work?
A long as you file jointly, it is 1200.00. Howeverrr, I looked up in the irs web site and it is pending - more then linkely they will find a way to adjust it...
Nothing is certain at this point. The bill still has to get through the senate, and God knows what kind of a f#%%26amp;*%26amp;d up mess it'll be before it gets sent to President Bush for signature.
Consider the bill was written by congress, and they aren't much better.
be patient. That's all I can say at this time.
Don't count on the amounts quoted today. The Senate wants to add retirees and unemployed people. The amount will have to come down to pay for it all.
No. You do not have to work to qualify for the tax rebate. Married couples filing jointly with incomes up to $150,000 will qualify for a rebate of between $600 and $1200. In addition, those who qualify for these rebates will receive an additional rebate of $300 for each child.
You and your husband will receive a minimum rebate of $600, and probably qualify for more than that.
Take care.oil companies

What do you think about couples counceling?
do you think if a couple decided to go to couples counceling their relationship is doomed?
have you done that? has it helped?
do you think it would be good, especally if you plan on getting married but latly all you do is fight....
we are both 19What do you think about couples counceling?
I was married when I was 19. We'll be celebrating our tenth anniversary this year. And, yes, pre-marital and marriage counseling both work wonders. It's all about two very different people learning how to communicate and appreciate one another. Just try and find a counselor that you both feel comfortable with. Good luck!What do you think about couples counceling?
I am a counsellor and I don't think that a relationship is doomed if a couple decides to go to counselling.To me couples going to counselling is path that they have chosen to get their marriage or their relationship back on the right track.if you and your partner are fighting alot lately and you both feel that it's a good idea to see a counsellor then what ever issues that you both have is more likely to be resolved.
It will work if both of you are 100%.
19 is too young to go to counseling. I would recommend counseling if you 2 are only in a serious relationship and a commited relationship and you 2 promised to be there for better of worse.
The relationship is not doomed, matter fact counselling might just be that first step needed to put small things right. You are committing yourselves to separate and different people so through counseling you can get to know and accept them and them you.

Do you think there will be gay couples taking the nuptials lightly?
Like in Las Vegas where many couples get married on a whim. Do you think there will be some gay people that just like the idea of marriage and do it. Not because of love, but because they can now?
What kind of impact do you think that may have when we have fought so hard to get the right to marry?Do you think there will be gay couples taking the nuptials lightly?
As much as we would like to believe we will have a better track record, I am sure when everything comes out in the wash there will be the equivalent number of divorces with homosexual couples as there is with heterosexual couples. I hope I am wrong.Do you think there will be gay couples taking the nuptials lightly?
Not sure that they will take it any more ';lightly'; than others (and let's not forget how often straights take it lightly...Brittney, Pam Anderson, etc. to name a few high profile ones). However, my concern is that in CA many will rush into it because there is a potentially short time frame. In mid-June they can marry, but in November there will be an election that could end future same sex marriages. Thus you may find couples that would normally not be interested in marrying until later, but do it now because they don't want to miss the window of opportunity. As noted above by another poster...these relationships may end sooner because they were rushed, and the opponents of same sex marriages will use that skewed data to show that a ';higher'; percentage of same sex marriages fail when it was really more about the timeframe of opportunity than the strength of the relationships.
Certainly, there will be some peope who take it lightly, go into too quickly, etc. etc. , just as with straight couples. And, yes, I think initially gay couples will be judges more harshly for it. ';See? I told you it was wrong to legalize gay marriages,'; some of the opposed will claim.
But you can't deny people their rights because of what ';might happen.'; Here's hoping for the best!
Well, like you said, it happens in Vegas all the time. In other words...straight people do it! I don't think there'll be enough people doing this to cause a problem, considering it's only legal in 2 states (so far!). And the only problems we would see for this, as far as I'm concerned, are (a) high divorce or separation rates, which could lead to (b) bad press.
now a days theres nothing wrong with it,,,and if thats happen wow,maybe all of the asian gays here will fly to vegas,,anyway for me it also a big impact change on the culture ,,but lets face the fact,,
that will be happen
=)
Maybe a LOOOONG time from now but after such along hard battle I think initially we will take our vows more serious....
maybe later on when it's legal nation wide, and a common thing.
I'm sure that there will be. But people shouldn't hold the LGBT community to higher standards that the rest of society

Certainly, there will be some peope who take it lightly, go into too quickly, etc. etc. , just as with straight couples. And, yes, I think initially gay couples will be judges more harshly for it. ';See? I told you it was wrong to legalize gay marriages,'; some of the opposed will claim.
But you can't deny people their rights because of what ';might happen.'; Here's hoping for the best!
Well, like you said, it happens in Vegas all the time. In other words...straight people do it! I don't think there'll be enough people doing this to cause a problem, considering it's only legal in 2 states (so far!). And the only problems we would see for this, as far as I'm concerned, are (a) high divorce or separation rates, which could lead to (b) bad press.
now a days theres nothing wrong with it,,,and if thats happen wow,maybe all of the asian gays here will fly to vegas,,anyway for me it also a big impact change on the culture ,,but lets face the fact,,
that will be happen
=)
Maybe a LOOOONG time from now but after such along hard battle I think initially we will take our vows more serious....
maybe later on when it's legal nation wide, and a common thing.
I'm sure that there will be. But people shouldn't hold the LGBT community to higher standards that the rest of society
What do you think of those couples who always sit next to each other at restaurants?
you know....if there's a booth they sit next to each other one side..
I, PERSONALLY, think its silly. I wanna see my hubby face to face. It would bother me to have him so close to me while i eat.What do you think of those couples who always sit next to each other at restaurants?
It's like they are waiting for someone else. Who instigates that? The man or the woman? I like to look at my husband, too.What do you think of those couples who always sit next to each other at restaurants?
its their choice 2 sit nxt 2 each other.... i dnt like it too coz its not easy 2 turn my head everytym i talk 2 my babe
i agree i think it's super odd. plus i like some space when eating.
It looks strange, but maybe they just don't like to be watched by each other while they eat? Maybe to them sitting across from each other is odd or doesn't feel right. Then again, maybe they are just trying to make people jealous or something...
VERY odd I like to see the face
Couples who are still 'courting' tend to sit next to each other. Couple who have become comfortagble with each other sit across from each other, not so much as to look at each other but for the feeling of 'space'. Nothing wrong with either way.
thats cool..i dont mind..as long there happy..
now if they started making out and taking off there clothes..than i dont know..lol
I think that it's weird because to me it would be easier to sit across so u can see each other.
Yeah, I think it's silly too! I'd rather see my boyfriend's/husband's face when I'm talking to him. I don't understand what the point is in sitting side by side?! lol.
Well, think about it.. if they did the ';monkey dance'; the night before you have a different perspective on the situation.
So, maybe the woman is thinking ';God he sucked last night'; and the guy is thinking ';Just another hit, one more time and I can find someone else.';
See what I mean?
Before we had kids we used to sit next to each other, now we only do that if we hired a sitter and the kids are at home. I eat left handed and keep other hand on spouses leg, too. All this after 13 years and three kids.
It is silly. My girlfriend always wants to sit next to me, but I make her sit accross from me.oil companies

Why are people considering forbidding the marriage or reproduction of some couples?
The United States is considering passing a law that forbids certain couples to marry or reproduce.Why are people considering forbidding the marriage or reproduction of some couples?
never heard of that... provide us with more info or linksWhy are people considering forbidding the marriage or reproduction of some couples?
I haven't heard anything about forbidding anyone to reproduce. But I know they are trying to keep gay couples from marrying.
I haven't heard anuthing about that. I don't think they could even do that. It is a free country.
Any law that forbids any couple to reproduce would be unconstitutional. That doesn't mean it won't get passed by congress, since it's controlled by narrow-minded republicans, but it won't hold up under supreme court review.
Most states already forbid certain couples to marry -- gay couples. That's also unconstitutional, and will eventually be overturned. There used to be similar laws preventing inter-racial marriages, and they've all been thrown out (finally) by courts. Eventually gay marriage prohibitions will be also, though it may still take a while...simply because their legal logic is untenable according to the constitution.

Do you think couples that look alike end up together?
Like people who get married usually look like eachother and they usually work out if they do...Right? Has anyone else noticed this? I always think it's strange when couples get together and they don't really look like eachother....Do you think couples that look alike end up together?
Yes actually Alot of my buddies have wives that look alot like them, maybe these guys are staring in the mirror so much when they see that woman it subconsciously pulls them in? lolDo you think couples that look alike end up together?
I've known odd couple who compliment each other. We just pay more attention to the ones who look alike.
sometimes?
thats why i intend to get with my brother.

Can I please hear from successful Pisces man/ Leo woman couples? Thanks?
I'm crazy about a Lioness and she is crazy about me, but I guess I need a little reassurance from successful P. men/ L. womenCan I please hear from successful Pisces man/ Leo woman couples? Thanks?
Actually a Leo lady and a Pisces man can be fine.
Leo women, and Leos in general, need to be ADORED. They like to be front and center, and abhor controlling people.
Pisces men are very caring and are the opposite of overbearing. They don't like the spotlight, so they don't get in the Lioness's way. She feels no need to compete with him, because he is so giving. Pisces is also good for a Leo because the Pisces can teach a Leo in a non threatening way how to let go and move on to better things.
Leos are a very generous sign and she enjoys sharing things with Pisces. She believes in giving gifts, making big deals out of anniversaries, and being overly romantic, which is very attractive to a Pisces guy. She is proud of herself and she views you as an extension of herself, so thus she is proud of you. ^_^
In fact, many people overlook the fact that fire signs and water signs have a lot of potential because they are inherently emotional--it's just a question of in what ways. Leos can be just as needy as a stereotypical Pisces! You just need to make sure that as a Pisces you speak up for what you need and aren't flattened by Leo's forcefulness. She won't take offense to a lot of things that you might. Leo's aren't as perceptive as you are, though they are just as loving.
Just talk to one another frequently, so that problems (and all relationships have some problems) don't fester and damage you.Can I please hear from successful Pisces man/ Leo woman couples? Thanks?
Well I am not a Pisces, However I am a Sagittarius involved with a Leo. I am actually shocked to hear that your relationship is working out...Because normally water will put out fire. Some fire signs may feel water signs are to emotional and clingy...That's how I felt after being involved with a Cancer. If she gives you all her time and energy she really cares for you...Leos believe actions speak louder than words...However please make sure you stroke and feed her ego...Give her lots of compliments. Tell her she is the best thing that ever happened to you. Also try to understand her points of view. They hate it when you don't take there advice or at least listen to it. When you don't you will hear their roar. But it doesn't effect me much much because I to am a fire sign and we share similar characteristics. You just have to push Sagittarius buttons to many times before you feel their wrath...All in all it should work out...But beware Leos male and female can fall in love easily, but can fall out of love just as easily and your stuck wondering what happened. That maybe to much for a water sign such as yourself to handle since you guys have such strong emotions. Last thing make sure you can handle her bluntness.
Another Sagittarius coming to the rescue lol !
Sure ! If your moon, venus, mars. placements in houses work in synastry..There are no definite rules about the Sun sign only.
Am sagittarius with Leo moon but always got on great with Pisces men ( I have a powerful Neptune).
visit astro.com : you will get a lot more info !
Well it all depends on what you want out of the relationship. Once you know what you want you have to show how deep your love is for her... leo's for the most part are faithful and honest yet tend to cheat when they feel as if they're not being loved as they should be... so if you're doing your job there will be no problem!

What are some great destination wedding resorts? Looking for couples only, and just me and fiance for wedding
Try Las Vegas - over 70 chapels to choose from, packages starting at $25 through to tens of thousands, and a fun city to enjoy afterwards.

Hawaii and Jamaica! You will absolutely LOVE either one! I know that in Jamaica theres a resort called Couples in Negril. They also have couples in ocho rios but i wouldnt recomment it if its for a wedding or a honeymoon. You HAVE to go to either couples swept away or couples negril and they are both in Negril, Jamaica. I think that they are alot more prettier, classier and alot more fun than Sandals. Go to couples.com and you can find out more about it.
As far as Hawaii...i have two friends that got married in Maui. I think thats what its called and i cant remember the name of the resort but i know that its one of the most known resorts in Maui and it was BEAUTIFUL! and also so romantic and breath taking.
Both these places are couples only and very intimate and private. Have fun and congratulations!What are some great destination wedding resorts? Looking for couples only, and just me and fiance for wedding
I just went to Couples Swept Away in Negril, Jamaica. It's beautiful and has great service. Most of the people staying there are on their honeymoon or returning for an anniversary. Each of the Couples resorts are different and have a different feel to them. Check out the website to see which one fits your taste the best. They will also help you with all the details of your wedding so it's a perfect and relaxing day for you. The message board on the website also has several discussions for brides who have questions.
Avoid Sandals like the plague. Check out Grand Lido in Negril Jamaica.
Sandals is a good one www.sandals.com They have resorts in the carribean, bahamas, Jamaica, etc. My fiance and I were going to go to sandals in the bahamas to get married, but decided to go a cheaper route. If you have the money, go for it. If you stay 7 days at the resort, they give you a free wedding, but you could also upgrade the wedding package if you like. Good luck!
Sandals. They have like 13 resorts all over the Caribbean that are couples only. If you stay for 7 nights your wedding is free. Everybody that I know who has gone to a Sandals resort has loved it and cannot wait to go back. Me and my soon to be husband are going to the one in Ocho Rios Jamaica in June. Our boss and a good friend went to this exact resort and loved it. I just like the idea of getting there and not having to worry about anything since it is all inclusive. You should check it out! Good Luck and Congratulations!
Oh yeah and remember that wherever you go you have to be there for so many days before you can get married there. I think it may be like 2 days or something.

Why are couples cheesy and sit side by side when eating in a restaurant?
I don't think it's cheesy. My hubby and I always sit side by side if the seating space allows for that. We're apart all day while working and even when we're at home after work we're doing our own things. When we go out, it's nice to sit next to one another and talk quietly and enjoy one anothers company. Now as for the footsy players and the public make out folks.......yeah, that's gross and no one wants to see it. Reserve that fro the privacy of your own home.Why are couples cheesy and sit side by side when eating in a restaurant?
It gets worse, really. I had a couple trade 'foot jobs' the other day. It was quite disgusting. Please keep your feet to yourself and not your partners private places while dining. If you think you waiter or waitress wants to come over in the middle of that, you're wrong.Why are couples cheesy and sit side by side when eating in a restaurant?
Because it's fun and exciting. It' s also a way to show off the good looks of your date.
I will agree that it could be a distraction though, especially if they're kissing or whatever.
I've definitely seen worse, some couple have started making out at the table! GROSS. Go home!

If you think you waiter or waitress wants to come over in the middle of that, you're wrong.Why are couples cheesy and sit side by side when eating in a restaurant?
Because it's fun and exciting. It' s also a way to show off the good looks of your date.
I will agree that it could be a distraction though, especially if they're kissing or whatever.
I've definitely seen worse, some couple have started making out at the table! GROSS. Go home!
You've never been in love, have you?

Mr. Brown drank just as many glasses as his wife but each of the other men drank more than their wives. Mr. Green drank twice as many, Mr. White three times as many and Mr. Smith four times as many. What are the last names of the four women?Four couples drank 44 glasses of lemonade, Ann had 2, betty 3, carol 4 and lisa 5?
44 glasses total.
Ann had 2.
Betty had 3.
Carol had 4.
Lisa had 5.
Mr. Brown had A glasses (A being the number his wife drank).
Mr. Green had 2B glasses (B being the number his wife drank).
Mr. White drank 3C glasses (C being the number his wife drank).
Mr. Smith drank 4D glasses (D being the number his wife drank).
The woman drank a total of 14 glasses, which leaves 30 for the men to drink.

What are your views on same sex couples adopting?
Growing up in a normal family is hard enough for many kids.
Growing up in a single parent home is really hard for many kids.
Many adoptees have expressed how hard it is to grow up adopted into a family with an adoptive mom and an adoptive dad...feeling different....wishing things were different.....some wishing they were aborted or never born.... or never adopted.......now throw gay adoptive parents into the mix. I think it's wrong wrong wrong. A disaster in the making.What are your views on same sex couples adopting?
If they can provide a stable loving home then there is no problem
Doesn't matter what youe sexual perference is.What are your views on same sex couples adopting?
I personaly think it makes it hard for the child because look at the two guys who bought a camper to travel in with the little boy they had so he could do his home work and not be judged by the public....Do not just think of your self think of the other person.
I have a cousin who married a black man and when they got married her mother said when are you going to have kids and his reply was '; there will not be any because i is not fair to the child'; They are old now and still NO KIDS,
No problem. The only requirement is that they provide a stable and loving home.
The same as it would be if different sex couples wanted to adopt or people of different races wanted to adopt...the same reason I want to adopt! I want to help a child in need and be the best ';mommy'; I can for him / her.
They have the same human rights as anyone else to be able to adopt. They cannot be discriminated against becasue they are not heterosexual. They have no differing abilities to parent than a heterosexual. They have to be judged on parenting ability just as everyone else is.
Gay couples should be able to adopt just like straight couples can. It should be an equal process.
Its wrong..and the child should have a choice if they want to go to a gay or not.
I think same sex couples are as capable of providing love, security, stability, food, shelter, emotional support, and any and all needs a child has, as an opposite sex couple.
I also think they are fully capable of understanding the special situation caused by the discrimination their family suffers, and I'm sure they have the ability (and willingness) to take the necessary actions to keep their children safe, physically and emotionally, in the face of adversity.
Any couple, gay or straight that has proven themselves (homestudy, criminal check, meet with social worker etc...) worthy of being a parent should do so. Gay people have the ability (just as straight people) to be great parents. For that matter, so do single parents. You need the capacity to love, that's all.
My views are the same for any couple, gay or straight, adopting a child. As long as they are a caring couple who want what's best for the child, more power to them. And I'd wish the best for all three.
It's alright as long as they let the kid pick what sexual orientation they want. I do think that the kid will have a rough childhood however, especially getting teased in school.
The same feeling I have about anyone adopting. If they will be good parents, care and love their children, and raise them the best they are able, more power to them.

Sen. Vitter supports the Justice of the Peace who won't marry interacial couples it makes him racist right?
It probably makes him a racist, since the Justice's actions are essentially indefensible, both from a moral and legal standpoint. He could have some other reason, but it's more likely than anything else he''s just another racist.Sen. Vitter supports the Justice of the Peace who won't marry interacial couples it makes him racist right?
Yes. It's a constitutional right to date and marry who you want. I would think the neocons would support this since they're always talking about the constitution. This man should have been fired a long time ago. He can believe whatever he wants but it's against the law not to marry interracial couples. Would he have a problem with a white man and Asian woman? 拢Sen. Vitter supports the Justice of the Peace who won't marry interacial couples it makes him racist right?
Yes. Blatantly. And if the right denies this one, no one can doubt they are delusional. The justice holds a public position and is expected to uphold the law, which he is blatantly breaking. There is no excuse for his breaking the law, if he has a problem with the job, he needs to resign, sorry Republicans. It's the law.
Well, I'd like to hear his explanation for why he is defending someone who violated his duty and the law for reasons that can only be described as racist. Of course, maybe he's just going after the racist vote.
Edit to Told You So: Yes, actually, that's his job. He is a public employee, and he does not have the right to deny marriage on that basis.
If we are to go by the ';guilt be association'; tactics of Republicans, then yes.
Told you So: a Justice of the Peace is an elected office. He is beholden to the law. Not marrying interracial couples is a violation of the constitution.
No. He just an idiot with far too many problems to even get involved with this issue. BTW, he did not say he supported him - he won't say ANYTHING on that issue because, like I said, he has far too many problems to even open his mouth on this issue.
Not necessarily, but supporting that Justice of the Peace (who reportedly lets his ';tons and tons of black friends'; use his bathroom) is pretty stupid.
Wrong...It makes him a senator with an opinion.
Yes repukes are racist generally
Bush like those black people drown in New Orleans man.
it sure does
absolutely no doubt about it
It makes him someone who supports our freedoms, do you have a problem with that?
Should he be FORCED to preform a marriage he doesn't want to?...my god, grow up people.
Wrong!

Is it ok to give couples joint Christmas presents?
Like if you know one interest they share, say a style of music, is it ok to give a CD to both of them jointly, or is that cheap?Is it ok to give couples joint Christmas presents?
I would say it is perfectly acceptable, (as long as it is not an unmarried couple living at seperate residences , LOL )
Some people have given my husband and I joint presents and some even one gift for our whole family. I don't think it is 'cheap' at all- we are not the only ones people are buying for and I certainly don't expect anyone to go into debt for us. Anyone who would look at this as cheap is giving and receiving gifts for all the wrong reasons!Is it ok to give couples joint Christmas presents?
I always do but I'm kinda cheap so I don't know...
I often give couples a bottle of their favorite wine as a joint gift
Give them a joint each!
I think it's ok if you are freinds equally with both of them, but if you knew one of them first and they later met the other, I would say separate gifts...
I think that is a very good idea as long as it's something they would both like.
Depending on your age and current financial situation ... yes, I'd consider it a little ';thrifty'; to give one CD to a couple. However, a box set would be reasonable ... maybe tickets to a concert of that group?
In general, a joint present can be a great idea. Especially in the father/stepmother situation. They'd probably love a gift together that they could both enjoy.

What is a Massage Couples Room?
I have a Massage Envy near me and they now offer Couples Rooms. I have been there before just by my self. Never done this: My girl friend got me a gift card to there and I thought it would be a nice idea for both us to get massages. How would this work? Do we have to be gender specific on who does the work ie her have a female and me a male or what? Little confused. Thanks.What is a Massage Couples Room?
Sounds like a great way to spend a few hours with your g/f.At the time you make the appointment you can be specific about the person you want to be working on you..eg..I would like someone blonde or I prefer someone older or if your g/f is in agreement you can request that they both be male or both female.This is totally up to you and her and the massage place will try and meet your request.What a great thing I hope you enjoy it.Hope I helped.

Any couples have trouble with Sperm Morphology when trying to conceive?
Please tell me what option you ended up chosing, and were you successful. Thank you!!!
(Please only serious answers)Any couples have trouble with Sperm Morphology when trying to conceive?
If you have healthy sperm they can ';wash them out'; then do an IUI, if he has ';NO'; sperm they can run some test's, mabey his sperm is going back (into his bladder...very possible,and can be treated) and they can mabey take cell's from the scrotum area as well. If he has ';slow sperm'; they can do an artificial insemination and put the sperm close to the uterus, and they can also put his sperm, your egg in a dish, mix, then place back inside of you and boom...your pregnant!! Good luck %26amp; Hope this answered your question?!!Any couples have trouble with Sperm Morphology when trying to conceive?
THANKYOU TO BOTH FOR YOUR ADVICE
I had to undergo fertility treatment, and am now happily pregnant. They did a ';sperm cleaning'; before they did IUI ( I was not yet at the stage where I had to resort to invetro), The doctors only included those sperm who were perfect in the IUI thus increasing our chances.... WELL they were right on the money. I am expecting in March! Ask your doctor what he/she recommends. Try to get to see a fertility specialist. You would be amazed with waht they can do for people having trouble.
Good Luck!

Do you think when couples ';swing';, it causes trouble?
I'm listening to a story about how couples swing and it causes so much trouble!
Thoughts?Do you think when couples ';swing';, it causes trouble?
Its just a different road people take just before the inevitable break up!Do you think when couples ';swing';, it causes trouble?
I was watching something about that the other day, too... IDK, the couples on there seemed happy with it, but I think in the end, people are very jealous, and someone is going to get hurt/mad. I don't think it's a good idea.
I think if you're even considering swinging, then something is wrong in your marriage, and you'd be better off to work on that than to get more people involved!
I know swingers who have been that way for years and years, and don't seem to have problems with it, but it takes a particular mind-set that not everyone possesses. But if it's okay for you (or even most of us) to not endorse the practice, it's also okay for those who are into it to live their lives the way they want to live them; and it's not for us to judge them.
one= those couples should not get married
two= isn't that considered dating
they should just date around, instead of committing to someone and not meaning it
and i dont think thats swinging
isnt swinging when both couples agree to switch partners?
and that is straight out cheating!!!!!!!!
Honestly. I think it's the same thing as cheating,but you're doing it in plain sight. You know your marriage is in trouble if one of you feels you need to bring a third person it in to save it or spice it up. That never works. Creates jealousy. And if that third party were to get pregnant,that's a whole new mess to deal with.
It varies with the couple. When my wife was alive we both enjoyed the change in partners. In your story why did mary not ask to join in? My wife would not have done it with a smoker, however.
Yes. Always trouble. It's suppose to be one man for one woman. Not two people per person. Sex should only occur between husband and wife.
I doubt very much these people are with their soulmate/the 'one' if they feel the need to be with other men or women
I would think so.
alsways, sooner or later, there's trouble.
yes
Maybe it won't cause problems for people without morals. But normal people, definitely YES!!!
Why would you do that? Nothing is sacred anymore I guess.
i think SOMEbody will always end up a little jealous in the end
i think 99% of the time it causes probs; just watch maury or springer, LOL
Umm yeah!male makeup

Are there couples with parteners of different religion? How do you handle differences?
Due to some of the drastic beliefs in different religions, it probably isn't a good idea to mix the religions to much. If you do plan on a marriage, you need to discuss this before, indepth, and one of you may want to think about converting to the other religion. If there are going to be kids involved, it is oing to be real rough if you can't go in one direction.Are there couples with parteners of different religion? How do you handle differences?
well im pentacosal and my wife is cathlic and we just joke around about it. [ like oh yeah thats a cathlic for ya] or the wife would say to me [ like dont you have a prayer meating to go to .]
Are there couples with parteners of different religion? How do you handle differences?
i'm sure there are and i would guess the best way to handle is to respect each others beliefs and don't discuss religion and definitely don't try to push your beliefs on the other person or belittle them for theirs.
I was married to a guy with a different religion, and it was extremely difficult. We barely argued about religion, however his religion was the root of many problems we encountered. His values were different and so were his ideas on my role in the marriage.
Yes. My husband believes in a higher being, but he does not believe in organized religion. I am a baptist. I go to church, he sits at home. I tell him about what happened, he listens and sometimes gives an opinion, other times he says ';that's nice';.

Spouses nowsaday are both working couples, how do you share your?
bill or money? Is it still his money is my money and my money is my money? Would like to hear some serious answerers pls...ginduras..Spouses nowsaday are both working couples, how do you share your?
yeah, both me and no money got no money..
pity us~Spouses nowsaday are both working couples, how do you share your?
Since I'm not working, my husband pays for everything.
He gives me money every month for the kids' fees, for my parents and as %26amp; when I need $ for daily expense, groceries, etc. So far, he hasn't question my spending habit nor ever refused me $.
We also have a joint account which ATM card I hold and I also get a supplementary credit card from him.
It sucks not having my own income, especially when getting him gifts. Using his $ to buy him gifts..?!
We've got two accounts, but access to both. Share the bill load and pay bills online from the bank's website.
But....you cannot have one big spender if you are dependent on both accounts without some control measures in place.
The other thing you can do is get a portion of one account (or pay check) automatically deposited in the other for bills, etc., then let the remainder be ';their'; money. For someone that uses direct deposit, this should not be a problem.
if i was co-habiting with a partner (not necessarily married) i would still expect him to contribute more to daily expenses.
if i was married, i would expect him to bear most, if not all of the BIG expenditures. i will provide him food and household expenditures and a caring wife to go home to.
im not having kids so thats out of the picture, but if i did, lol the kid's expenses is his.
whoever pays the installments should get the deed of the house/car cos from what i observe these days,the house/car is usually under the husbands name even though the wife pays the installments and if they happen to get a divorce..the husband gets the house/car
however happily married you are,you still need a back up plan these days..you never know what will happen in the future
He gives me a fixed amount monthly from his salary because i'm in charge in buying/paying things. He gives me all other extra remunerations he receives every now and then like bonus, incentives and the like. When i overspent and would have some extra needs, I end up asking for more.
I do have my own salary too, of course.
well..sometimes i pay, sometimes he pays. when it comes to groceries, whoever going to the store is paying. when it comes to bills and rents, we split half. when it comes to installments, we pay for own cars and same goes with own shopping (leisure expenses)...the only thing that he pays extra is our monthly insurances, our baby girl's expenses and my allowances to go to work, and i get to keep whatever left of my salary and his....and believe me..there's none left
ONE account with access available to both of us....weekly we go over what needs to be paid and what else is waiting for the rest of the month......no surprises then.......he can't go on a spending rampage and neither can I however, we can both DECIDE TOGETHER how much to save for vacation, etc and keep a limit on our spending out and or food bill......life is harder with the gas crunch....we have two cars so it's really cutting into our ';extra'; money.......TGod my husband can work overtime a lot to make up for the extras.
All utilities under his name .. like Astro, Tmnet, Tenaga, Indah Water etc ... and that means he has to pay for them ...
As for the house, joint names ... that means 50% share share lah ...
As for groceries and household barang, get him to fork out as much as possible .... that way he has no money to fool around with other ladies .... trust me, this should be the way ...
for me, it is up to you on how you wanna share yours. don't you think that when you get married you have to share everything.
both also no money
got my schedule...
u pay the rent, i pay the bills.
next month, i pay the rent, u pay the bills...
nope...it is ';our'; money
yeah, both me and no money got no money..
pity us~Spouses nowsaday are both working couples, how do you share your?
Since I'm not working, my husband pays for everything.
He gives me money every month for the kids' fees, for my parents and as %26amp; when I need $ for daily expense, groceries, etc. So far, he hasn't question my spending habit nor ever refused me $.
