This is more of a survey than a question really. We are both 30 years old and we have a baby boy who is 14 months old. He goes to bed between 6 and 7pm which means we are stuck in and both really bored and wondered what other couples do? (please note that we love our son to bits and wouldn't change having him for the world!)
We are sick of watching TV, going on internet, reading etc etc. My main question is: Does anyone else suffer from being bored?What do couples with young kids do on an evening?
I have 4 teenagers and 2week old quads. Weekends are family days but because your baby is only young they could be mom and dad days. Even if its only a Saturday afternoon drop the baby of at the grandparents and go to a movie/shopping/for a meal. Once a month you could leave the baby at aunty/Nana/friends house over night and book yourself into a hotel and do what ever nature intended you to do!!!What do couples with young kids do on an evening?
Our children have always stayed up later than yours. Even at 14 months they went to bed between 9 and 10. While they were up we did things with them, and they slept late the next day. Of course that only works if one of you is at home. If you have to get them up to deliver them to childcare it's a different matter. But you could consider going out at weekends and taking him with you. Our children went to a number of restaurants from young babies. At that age they sleep in a stroller when they are tired.
Other suggestions for after they have gone to bed include jigsaws and games. Of course, you could always practise for when you want to make a brother or sister for him! Sorry, just joking.
Have a romantic evening. Go out of the way to please each other. Romantic dinner, candles, flowers and let the passion you have for each other finish the night.
Sex is good but you might end up with another one.
We wrote some books and got published. Didn't make much nmoney but made friends and had a lot of fun together.
have sex?
This just reinforces the reason why, at 31, i still have no desire to have kids whatsoever and never will have. I know that doesn't suit everyone, but i just would hate the feeling of being trapped. I've got too much to do with my life. I'm not sure what you could do to be honest. What about make some more, lol?
hire a baby sitter
make love
I know what you mean, we play board games... talk and have sex... We do have sky tv so there is usually something to watch or listen to.
Anything to keep you from niggling with each other. Early nights is another we are always in bed for 9.30pm (mon-fri) as our child was four before they slept through.
NO! I watch DVD's, have a laugh and if/as u2 r bored, y not try games?! Either board games or card games or have a few friends round and if that still doesn't work y not try and add a bit of romance between u? Good luck! x
Wash up, go to bed, make more babies.
My fiance is 23 and I'm 18, our son will be 1 on the 8th. He goes to bed at 8:30 every night. We play poker. we play for sex sometimes, you know who's on top or who does other things to the other person. sometimes we play for candy, and sometimes we just play for fun.
get a baby monitor and invite friends/relitives over.
if they have a baby you can share looking after the babes and take turns going out.
spend time with eachother and tha chilldren i aint a dad but trust me that should just work thanks for reading my post if you get it and read it thank you wright back
30 years old and the baby is settled for the night well what are you waiting for you still love one another don't you get some loving going on
I know how you feel, could you not put your son to bed and get a babysitter for a few hours so you and your partner could go out on your own. Even if it is just for a meal, once or twice a month. Then as your boy gets older you could take him with you.

If 100 couples are selected, what's the chance of them having or not having a girl?
I'm doing this question for a stats class. I'm hoping to find more than just answer, maybe some direction as well. Thank you!If 100 couples are selected, what's the chance of them having or not having a girl?
Your Question is incomplete
Note all Probabilities add to 1
If 100 couples have children what is chance of them having having a girl?
Let P(G) be the probability of a couple having a girl
P(nG) + P(G) = 1
(1-P(G))= P(nG)
(1-P(G))^100= p(ng) probability of 100 couples not having a girl
1-(1-P(G))^100 = p(g) probability of at leased one girlIf 100 couples are selected, what's the chance of them having or not having a girl?
Should be a 50/50 chance of them having a girl. Unless they want you to factor in infertility and stuff, there's something to screw up your results. So yeah, 50%. I really don't have enough background from your question.
Do they all have kids? Will any of them have more then one kid?
If each of the 100 couples has a child, then there is a 50% chance.
im gusseing 1to2
If all 100 couples had one child, the odds of any one of them having a girl would be 1/2. The odds of a particular couple having a girl would also be 1/2. The odds of all 100 having a girl would be 1/2 to the 100th power.
it would be 1/2 or 50%...even if there were only 13 couples for example it would still be 1/2 or 50%....if the couples are each only having 1 child...
Actually it's about 45/55 in favour of the male being born. I am not quite sure, though I heard some (probably spurious) story that male sperm swim faster, but there is definitely a *slightly* higher chance of a male child. You would want to factor in many things. If it's a girl, or non-girl than nothing is still non-girl. 20% average chance of conception. So 20% of 45 and 20% of 55 are your answers for male and female.
Good luck!

How many couples from The Bachelor have gotten married?
I am just curious about how many couples from the Bachelor/Bachelorette have gotten married (besides Trista and Ryan). I have watched this season of the bachelor and am wondering.........How many couples from The Bachelor have gotten married?
I have watched all the seasons and that was the only couple to get married. Most of the couples were only together for a short amount of time. I think it had something to do with the fact that it was a female bachelorette looking for males. I think women have a better sense of genuine attraction and a realization of what will work out in the end, and not just of making a ';perfect ending'; to the show.

Which couples were the bottom 3 on so you think you can dance and who was eliminated ?
Rayven %26amp; Jamie
Jessica %26amp; Will
Kourtni %26amp; Matt
Rayven %26amp; Jamie were eliminated.
Kourtni had the best solo of the girls, Will for the boys.
Nigel said for the boys, the judges chose technique (Matt)
over personality (Jamie). Rayven was eliminated because
she didn't do pointe work in her solo.Which couples were the bottom 3 on so you think you can dance and who was eliminated ?

Why is it that of most '; mixed race'; couples, the woman is almost always White and the man is of another race?
For the exception of people of mixed lineage like Lenny Kravitz ( mother:Black and father :White ( Jewish)), most '; mixed couples'; are consistent of a white woman with a black man?Why is it that of most '; mixed race'; couples, the woman is almost always White and the man is of another race?
idkk, i think the same thing when i see a black man with a white woman (im black).Why is it that of most '; mixed race'; couples, the woman is almost always White and the man is of another race?
Well, I'm white and my wife is Asian. So much for that theory lol.
But why is it important? In this modern age, when we know for fact that all people are equal its not overly important as long as the people in the relationship are happy. I'll never forget traveling with my girlfriend who was black quite a few years ago. We stopped at a Diner in Texas and they refused to serve us food. In the 21st century the focus on race really needs to come to an end.
wow are you conflicted.. open your eyes.. maybe where you live the ladies are white and the men are mixed but where i live its mostly white dudes and ladies of other races.. why does it matter innywho?? i think that people of different races that get together make the most prettiest babies...
I think women are generally just more open to dating outside their own race.

What is your opinion on modern couples?
USA is one of the countries with the highest divorcing rates, now it seems that had lower the numbers but primary because people decide to ';not get married'; but ';live together';.
Is it the same? What is the psychology behind this idea? and What your think is the reason on must couples problems?What is your opinion on modern couples?
People learn about relationships and how to have them from their parents. Unfortunately, most parents provide terrible examples.What is your opinion on modern couples?
We teach about human relations in counseling sessions. There are an unbelievable number of people receiving counseling.
Personally, I think that the divorce rate is so high because people are getting married younger, and I'll admit I'm young but I am 25 and I am getting married soon. I have been with him for four years though and we have been through EVERYTHING together and when I say everything I mean everything.
I think that people are just to easy going on the whole marriage thing now. They know someone for 6 months and they are just like hey lets get hitched and the reality is that it doesn't end up working out because they thought they knew everything about each other when they really can't stand one another.
That's just my little piece of opinion! Good question.
Marriage tends to get to routine. It can come to a point that the marriage is nothing more than a daily schdule. After I Do the fun dating discovery part tends to fade. As a couple their needs to be a schduled times that it is just mom, dad night. Keep dating each other even after I do. Budgets need to be setup. When the financial disiplines are set then a lot of financial stress that distroys relationships can be avoided. Regularly set and reset goals and dreams so you both are working towards the same goals. Goals on, Family, relationship, financial, rewards, and whatnot should be addressed. Learn about the process of setting goals and how to break it down to achieve.
Happiness is the process of achieving, and as a couple that is really true.
I sadly have learned this the hard way. But it is very true and realistic approach.
Late statistical surveys have shown women to engage more
in all kinds of sexual activities like no other time before.
Cheat, whatever. Women are more sexualy liberated than ever before. Making the previous statments that men have more testosteron thats why men naturally think more often about sex than women generally do, a big pseudo scientific lie!
Women from a psycological-evolutionary point of view,
choose a good provider and *also* need a sexual aggressive predator/lover.
Usually women need a nice guy most of the time and when they ovulate, they go out and seek the more non-feeling but animal-aggressive and sexy macho dudes.
People are growing prettier and prettier. Men are generally getting prettier.
Getting a man who is animal like aggressive and also a good provider (the 2 in 1) is getting easier and easier.
Women will get to face the same sexual frustrations as men generally did,
and face the same problems.
And more of the nasty things women do will more easily come to light.
So finally we can do away with the overall halo-innocent
perspective in wich society generlaly sees women.
This is how I see the future.
Also. Because sex is more liberated than ever before.
And lust is much more important than responsibilities at first.
Relationships never stand ground for long.
Im not complaining. I only wish I were the one who gets to get all the fun with all different kinds of, and get into many relationships with pretty women.
Sadly I have to step aside and let the pretty people have their way with eachother and theres no room for ugly people like me.
a magor problem is the media and what
kind of message they send to society
through their choice in programing
People fail to understand that they need to be partners. It has to be 50-50 in any relationship or the person that is giving more will feel cheated and go looking for a better mate.
As for the divorce rate, I think the biggest factor has to be how much later we are now getting married. At 18 you don't know who you are so how could you really understand what you need from someone else.
Too much premarital sex. People want the perks without the commitment. When sex is made into something that can be done outside of a marriage commitment, it hurts the family. Babies without fathers in the house, abortions and parents who have given themselves to so many people besides their spouse, all cause the breakdown of the family and society.

Does anybody knows what are the couples or single caribean cruises ??
My husband and I are planing to go in a cruise to Jamaica , or any other caribean beach in our Anniverssary, but I love kids, but i really want an adult cruise to go to and I don't know how to find it...Does anybody knows what are the couples or single caribean cruises ??
Regent, %26amp; Crystal are deluxe cruise lines. There are no children except for selected cruises.Most deluxe cruise lines do not encourage taking the kids. There are no facilities for them. Cost is $400 to $600 per night per person. Includes everything. Check Regent cruises lines website. All cabins are suites. Most have balconies. You will love it.Does anybody knows what are the couples or single caribean cruises ??
Well, I am 13 and am going on my 4th cruise this summer. We are going on our 3rd Royal Caribbean cruise, and they have a lot of kids, so you probably wouldn't want to go on RCI. I have been on Holland America once though, and there were hardly any kids. They are known more as the seniors line, with more adults.It was pretty quiet and not really that exciting, at least for me. You might like it though if you don't want as many kids. If you went during school, there probably wouldn't be as many kids either.
okay the cheapest way to travel (take it from me i travel A LOT) is to go through the web site i am pasting at the bottom of this. its discounted packages and on top of that u can have open credit through the company with 0% interest. so if you want to go on a trip next week but havent saved the money, they give you the 2k or whatever amount in advance AND then you pay it off at your own convience at 0% interest. i know it sounds too good to be true but i do it all of the time. their rates are better then everyone elses too. they have packages or you can make them through this site. actually i like the company so much i bought into it. its up and coming, but very legit. i think its going to be the next big thing, especially the way the economy is. here is the site. check it out! i hope you have a great time on your trip!
http://hollyvie.travelencia.com/
ps- if u want to buy into the company its only a 50.00 buy in and then you get paid monthly. its like a residual thing. theres also a monthly fee of either 20 or 50 but it pays off. you get it back. plus more.

okay the cheapest way to travel (take it from me i travel A LOT) is to go through the web site i am pasting at the bottom of this. its discounted packages and on top of that u can have open credit through the company with 0% interest. so if you want to go on a trip next week but havent saved the money, they give you the 2k or whatever amount in advance AND then you pay it off at your own convience at 0% interest. i know it sounds too good to be true but i do it all of the time. their rates are better then everyone elses too. they have packages or you can make them through this site. actually i like the company so much i bought into it. its up and coming, but very legit. i think its going to be the next big thing, especially the way the economy is. here is the site. check it out! i hope you have a great time on your trip!

ps- if u want to buy into the company its only a 50.00 buy in and then you get paid monthly. its like a residual thing. theres also a monthly fee of either 20 or 50 but it pays off. you get it back. plus more.
What city/state/country do u live in? Are there a good # of interracial couples?
Any combination...and how does the average person react to it?What city/state/country do u live in? Are there a good # of interracial couples?
I live in Los Angeles, California, USA. There's a lot of interracial combinations. Black male/white female and vice versa, the list goes on. People barely blink an eye. Its pretty liberal over here, which makes me glad that I was born here.What city/state/country do u live in? Are there a good # of interracial couples?
I live in Columbia, South Carolina, USA. I've seen a handful of interracial couples. I don't see them that often, but they do exist. I see mostly white and blacks marry, but occasionally I will see Asians marry other races. Some people may not approve of it, but I've never seen anyone make a scene in public.
In Central Texas (Live in San Angelo and Abilene, only 100 miles apart)there is plenty of it, I have no prob with it, mostly a combination of white, black, and mexican.The one thing i do hate is how a large portion of white women look down on ALL people who are not also in a interracial relationship. I guess they think they are far more socially advanced then the rest of the world that they can judge other people. Not saying it is like that every where just in Central TX.
Here's the situation in the Northwest:
I live in Oregon, and have been living here for 20 years, and I've been in an I/R since 2001. My first husband was also white. We were married 9 years during the 80s, but were living in California at the time.
For a state that is sometimes labelled as ';redneck'; and ';prejudiced';, there are actually a surprisingly high number of I/R couples living here, primarily in Portland or in the university towns like Eugene, Corvallis, or Ashland... but you can go just anyplace in the state and see I/Rs, even in the smallest of one horse towns. Medford, for example, despite being historically considered a racist town, is known all over the West for how many white women are likely to be dating/married to black men...and who will actively seek them out over other men.
There's all manner of I/R combinations, too, but the most likely combination you're see? WW/BM, WW/HM, WM/AW.
The further north you get, the more likely you'll see white men with black women, particularly in Portland. As you head towards Eastern Oregon, you may see more I/Rs where one of the partners is Native American.
There's also a more than a few families who have adopted interracially, too.
In the cities, it's rare to hear of any negative issues re: I/Rs. In very rural areas, an I/R family might get the occasional stare from time to time, but then some people stare at anyone who is not recognized as a ';local.'; For the most part, Oregonians tend to be pretty much ';live and let live.'; My man and I don't ever have any problems...and we go all over the place.
You can't always tell who is likely to have a spouse/sweetheart of a different race or ethnicity, either. Some of the people who appear at first glance to be very conservative or even straight out redneck-y types might have a s/o of a different race or ethnic group...so one should be careful not to make rude remarks re: I/R's when here.
Washington State also has a lot of I/R's, particularly in Seattle. Same attitude towards them there, too. I know of a few I/Rs in Idaho, but not as many as either OR or WA
San Francisco area, California, US
In any crowd you're going to see at least a few -- in all combinations you can imagine.
Most young folks don't react at all. Dating/marrying whoever you love is the norm around here. Older folks generally either make a point of telling us we're ';cute'; or the very few might let us know they disapprove.

Has anyone ever attended couples counseling?
Me and my boyfriend of 3 and a half years have been having numerous problems lately. I'm beginning to think he is a compulsive liar because he has told me lots of HUGE lies, and because of this I find it very hard to trust him and allow myself to be close to him. He admits that he has a problem and would be willing to go to couples counseling if I'd like to do that.
Has anyone ever tried this? What was it like? Did it improve your relationship? Did the therapist speak to you together or did he/she speak to you separately? Anything else I should know?Has anyone ever attended couples counseling?
I was a relationship counselor for several decades. I long since retired from that. However, I can tell you that your relationship the way you describe it could benefit from some sessions together. Not all such counselors work the same way, so don't begin to expect things just because people here say they happen that way.
Is he a compulsive liar, in the sense that he CANNOT NOT lie? Or does he tell whoppers to get some kind of pay-off? They are not the same things. You say that you can't trust him, and he says he knows he has a problem and is willing to work on it with a counselor. That sounds promising.
However, one or both partners lying to each other is NOT a good sign. I'd want to know what the lies were, what made them HUGE (as you say) and what he expected to get out of telling them.
All I can say is to give it a try. Despite what one answer says, it usually helps to discuss your couple problems with a stranger...however, a stranger with a lot of training and counseling ability. Best wishes to you . . . -- Dr. BobHas anyone ever attended couples counseling?
I used to do some couples counseling. Usually the therapist speaks to each person seperately, and together. Telling big lies is bad red flag though. Be thankful you aren't married to him. It is your choice whether you feel it is worth it to go to couples counseling. But a therapist can't fix people or a relationship that really is not ever going to be healthy. It takes two and not all relationships are meant to be.
It does not work. if you cannot work it out on your own or with the help of friends and family what makes you think paying a stranger to arbitrate the situation will do any better? I tried it once and it did not help at all.
my names is jamespowelson
the problem with both of you is
you keep lieing to yourself. or misleading yourself
like attracts like.
there lots of myth and nonsense with your lifes belief and this furballs into fights.

Why is it hard to find black and white couples together that don't have low self esteem?
Yes this is true,
usually these people talk down about their raceWhy is it hard to find black and white couples together that don't have low self esteem?
I'm wondering the same thing,
Ugly black guy with fat white woman.Why is it hard to find black and white couples together that don't have low self esteem?
you're talking about a union of two people from the most extreme, opposite poles of society. most- certainly not ALL- white women who are not only open to serious intimate relationships with black men, but aggressively seek such relationships, generally do so because they have been rejected by white men for whatever reasons. Yes, they are often extremely overweight and generally unattractive, often with rough edges more times than not, but are also very kind, mentally strong (not necessarily lacking self-esteem), and loyal to their partners. They know that black men will not reject them because of the high ranking of white women in society, and that they will be treated very well and taken care of. Attractive, well educated, professional white women do not interact socially with black men due to the stigmatization that comes along with black males in society. These women are glorified by all men in society and have a generous pool of white males to choose from, and, as such, have neither need nor necessity to interact with black men. The exception to this rule may be a handful of relationships involving people who are successful in the entertainment industry and who have accumulated substantial amounts of money- Ben Harper and Laura Dern; Seal and Heidi Klum, who is not an American woman; Ellen Pompeo and Chris Ivery, to name a few. When you have so much money and are virtually invulnerable to any and all stones that society can set in your path, racial differences tend to take a back seat to everything else and become trivial, as they should be. On the contrary, interracial couples have to be much stronger than other couples to sustain all the blows that society deals them, time and again.
What? are you serious? this is the most rediculous thing I have ever heard and I know plenty of inter-racial couples. My husband and I are a mixed race couple and we don't have low self esteem. My husband and I are both successful and blessed. We have Children of mixed race and they are normal as well.
get a life and stop putting your assumptions on others.
This question and your response to my question is the reason why we are still stuck on the concept of race today.
This attitude that is so prevalent in many people of all races is why it will take us many more years to heal the racial divide that is so present in the U.S. and around the world.
It's simple ignorance that many don't bother to correct.
Interracial dating has no barring on a person's self-esteem and being in an interracial relationship does not mean you hate those of your particular race.
Love is a beautiful thing no matter what skin color you are or who you choose to be with.
my self esteem is just fine thank you, and my husbands is off the chart, but then he is successful, hard working has decent credit and a good home to come back to every night.
Just what exactly is your issue, if we as a mixed couple bother you so much then don't look at us.
and to answer yet ANOTHER asinine assumption am most certainly not over weight.
Not true here. I have very high self-esteem and nothing against my ';own kind.'; My husband loves black women and finds them very attractive. He just happened to fall in love with me. My last boyfriend before him was white and his last girlfriend before me was black.
And before you come up with your next favorite stereotype, both hubby and I are considered very attractive.
EDIT: Ahhh, yet another one. I'm not fat.
Not true.

Does Robert Deniro?

How do couples deal with working different shifts?
My husband and I work different shifts so we don't need a sitter for our 3 girls. That part works out great but it leaves little ';family time'; for all of us to do things together. How do others deal with this problem?How do couples deal with working different shifts?
Communication is the key. Phone calls, emails. Leave little notes around for each other. Do nice things for each other.(small things matter) When you are together, even though you may be tired, spend some time together without the kids. Go out to dinner, or have a bath together, or go for a walk. Dont lose touch with each other emotionally.
Best of luck

How frequent does a married couples have s*x? ?
Does anything Beyond 15 days is abnormal. Is this because of my partners stress factor (he claims so) or tiredness. is watching pr*** sites to be blamed? How can we make it a bit more frequent. Does not having se**al satisfaction lead to frustration?How frequent does a married couples have s*x? ?
Good sex is not planned into a schedule. It is spontaneous. Actually getting into bed and getting naked is the toughest part. Once you get past that hurtle, the fun begins. Do something crazy and sexual that he would never anticipate from...you may revive his urge.
Been married for 13 years. Been through all of the ups and downs and in betweens.How frequent does a married couples have s*x? ?
Some times stress can cause things such as this, being tired. But this is where you come in, you have to make very strong sexual advances. once youo get it up he has to un load. You should be getting it at least 5 times a week unless he is 80.

What percentage of married couples stay together to avoid loneliness?
The U.S onlyWhat percentage of married couples stay together to avoid loneliness?
3
fsWhat percentage of married couples stay together to avoid loneliness?
50%
I say about 35 percent. Just an educated guess though.
I don't belief being loneliness as a factor of getting married or staying together. If it is, as you know the world is spherical in shape and you never know the desire, mental and ones background, it is probably 30%. One way to support this as I have seen it, some women who are 35year and older, are usually in desperate of getting married. It becomes a high competition with the younger women as most men tend to lean toward young women. In such scenerio, those women becomes vonurable to take chances to anyone who comes there way in terms of love not because they do love them as such but only not to be without a man or loneliness
My ex is getting married bc he will be turning 40 next year. I really don't think he cares who he marries, just doesn't want to be ';40 and alone';
hopefully none thers more holding it together then that
I would say avoiding loneliness is always a factor when getting married. If it's the main one I doubt there would be a high marital success rate.

Do all married couples sleep together in the same bed?
we have different schedule and it's easier to sleep in different rooms... do you think it's healthy for our relationshipDo all married couples sleep together in the same bed?
My parents slept in seperate beds but had a wonderful relationship. He snored and tossed and turned so since they both had to work, it was alot less stress on them both to sleep seperate.Do all married couples sleep together in the same bed?
No, they don't.
If you might keep him up or he you and you realize that you both need a different environment to get good quality sleep sometimes, then sleeping separately is sometimes just practical.
When I was younger, I could sleep anywhere. Now that I am older, things interfere with my sleep and with his. Sleep (and not so much sleeping together, especially if you've been together a long time) is a really important ingredient for functioning well AND getting along with your partner.
Loving each other enough to think of each others comfort is very sweet and a good sign for any relationship. Insisting on sleeping together all the time, even when impractical, serves what purpose?
You guys sleep in separate rooms so you don't wake up the other person while getting ready for work? You could set all your clothes and other things in the other room. So you both can sleep together and get ready for work in the other room without waking the other person.
I agree with you mel. Your husband is military if I remember correctly, right? My BF is in the military too. Most people take little things like sleeping together for granted. Unlike us (military spouse/GF/BF) We know all to well whats it's like to not have our loved ones by our side at night for long spans of time. So we take advantage of EVERY opprutunity possible, we never know when it might be the last time.
No its not healthy at al!?!! Why would you do that I love sleeping with my husband even if we have different schedules I mean its like your strangers liiving in the same house what about sex what about knowing that he's their right beside you it seems your career and life are more important to you guys than making time for each other!? I mean how can it be easier you just go and lay in the bed and sleep gosh.
I've known some very happily married people that slept in separate rooms due to snoring, thrashing around when sleeping, needing a CPAP to sleep with (some people don't like the noise) or a partner is sick/frail and they are concerned about hurting them if sleeping in the same bed. If the marriage is sound and the reasons for separate rooms is valid, I don't see a problem.
You NEED to sleep in the same bed - ABSOLUTELY. You are missing out on: having spontaneous nookies. Chatting about something that is troubling you. Playing with each other. Kissing and cuddling. Playing with each other. Having spontaneous nookies. Having ';just us'; time. Playing with each other. Having spontaneous nookies....
Not all, we haven't for a while mostly due to infant rearing years but I hate it. We've been back in the same bed for at least part of the night for a while now.
Generally I would say no, not a great sign of health but if you're having trouble sleeping... what ya' going to do. Gotta sleep.
If it's snoring or some such thing, by God, /do/ something about it.
They make OTC plastic strips that help and you can go to the doctor and get a machine/mask thing that helps with apnea.
I sure hope not. My last girlfriend was an adult bed wetter. I pity the fool who sleeps with her on the same bed.
Most couples sleep in the same room. The only people I have known who slept separately..... hated each other.
My sister and her ex.
I'm not even sure if its healthy for kids to see their parents sleeping separately.
Kids will interpret that as trouble in paradise.
I don't think that it is unhealthy per-se, but as long as you have good communication and a good relationship it should be okay. I just would make time to have personal time in the bedroom (hint hint). I would talk to your husband and see how he feels.
The only times I or other married couples I know slept separately was due to a serious injury or illness. All the married couples I know sleep together in the same bed. And these marriages span 20 - 65 years married.
As of this moment, my husband is sleeping on the couch for like....the sixth straight day. It bothers the hell out of me, but he is so beat when he gets home from work, that I can relate.
i've heard of people doing it because of snoring, and bad sleepers. i dont think its that bad if you have good reasons for it and you also have your time together. i personally wouldn't like it. though.
yes it is very healthy to be able to stretch to on your own sometimes and as a woman we sometimes need our own space and not because something is wrong... on vacation we always get separate beds because we can always get in one
I've read that many new houses today are being built with ';his'; and ';hers'; suites because of snoring, among other problems. So it's not uncommon.
Just like everything else that goes on behind closed doors, it's nobody's business but yours and if it works then who are we to tell you differently?
When I felt a disconnection from my husband I felt it should be better if we did have separates bedrooms then he said ';why are we married'; We sleep in the same bed now. (but I still like wall-e).
I think it's totally fine!
As long as you still keep intimacy and romance alive.
I wouldn't be married if my wife slept in another room!
honestly that doesn't sound too good! what do you mean you have different schedules ? are you both sleeping at the same time though?
i think it's fine. forget what these other people are saying. whatever works for you
Thats just Weird....No its not normal , not healthy....why be married?
My parents slept in seperate beds but had a wonderful relationship. He snored and tossed and turned so since they both had to work, it was alot less stress on them both to sleep seperate.Do all married couples sleep together in the same bed?
No, they don't.
If you might keep him up or he you and you realize that you both need a different environment to get good quality sleep sometimes, then sleeping separately is sometimes just practical.
When I was younger, I could sleep anywhere. Now that I am older, things interfere with my sleep and with his. Sleep (and not so much sleeping together, especially if you've been together a long time) is a really important ingredient for functioning well AND getting along with your partner.
Loving each other enough to think of each others comfort is very sweet and a good sign for any relationship. Insisting on sleeping together all the time, even when impractical, serves what purpose?
You guys sleep in separate rooms so you don't wake up the other person while getting ready for work? You could set all your clothes and other things in the other room. So you both can sleep together and get ready for work in the other room without waking the other person.
I agree with you mel. Your husband is military if I remember correctly, right? My BF is in the military too. Most people take little things like sleeping together for granted. Unlike us (military spouse/GF/BF) We know all to well whats it's like to not have our loved ones by our side at night for long spans of time. So we take advantage of EVERY opprutunity possible, we never know when it might be the last time.
No its not healthy at al!?!! Why would you do that I love sleeping with my husband even if we have different schedules I mean its like your strangers liiving in the same house what about sex what about knowing that he's their right beside you it seems your career and life are more important to you guys than making time for each other!? I mean how can it be easier you just go and lay in the bed and sleep gosh.
I've known some very happily married people that slept in separate rooms due to snoring, thrashing around when sleeping, needing a CPAP to sleep with (some people don't like the noise) or a partner is sick/frail and they are concerned about hurting them if sleeping in the same bed. If the marriage is sound and the reasons for separate rooms is valid, I don't see a problem.
You NEED to sleep in the same bed - ABSOLUTELY. You are missing out on: having spontaneous nookies. Chatting about something that is troubling you. Playing with each other. Kissing and cuddling. Playing with each other. Having spontaneous nookies. Having ';just us'; time. Playing with each other. Having spontaneous nookies....
Not all, we haven't for a while mostly due to infant rearing years but I hate it. We've been back in the same bed for at least part of the night for a while now.
Generally I would say no, not a great sign of health but if you're having trouble sleeping... what ya' going to do. Gotta sleep.
If it's snoring or some such thing, by God, /do/ something about it.
They make OTC plastic strips that help and you can go to the doctor and get a machine/mask thing that helps with apnea.
I sure hope not. My last girlfriend was an adult bed wetter. I pity the fool who sleeps with her on the same bed.
Most couples sleep in the same room. The only people I have known who slept separately..... hated each other.
My sister and her ex.
I'm not even sure if its healthy for kids to see their parents sleeping separately.
Kids will interpret that as trouble in paradise.
I don't think that it is unhealthy per-se, but as long as you have good communication and a good relationship it should be okay. I just would make time to have personal time in the bedroom (hint hint). I would talk to your husband and see how he feels.

Why do Married Couples file taxes separately?
The Marriage Tax was pretty much done away with in 2003, filing seperately didn't affect it. There's a number of different reasons to do so. One is that they may be maintaining their assests seperately.Why do Married Couples file taxes separately?
There are a number of reasons to file married filing separate but it is generally more advantageous to fine jointly if you are married. The most common reason for MFS is to avoid liabilities from one of the parties of a marriage. For example on person has large spousal support payments that can not be made on their income alone. If they were behind on those payments the ex could ';attach'; any refund due from a MFJ return. By filing MFS that can generally be avoided. Past due IRS liens prior to the present marriage are also a frequent motivator.
There are reasons related to different levels of income but those are not as common.
For most folks filing MFS is the tax equivalent of standing in traffic and waiting for the IRS to run over you. That reality has brought consensus to a bunch of waring married couples.Why do Married Couples file taxes separately?
to get past the marriage tax
because sometimes you can save money,if one spouse makes big bucks and the other not so big, they are taxed at different rates. I suggest you do a hypo and figure out both ways then do it the way gives you more money.
Because they have the option to...
The tax brackets are different. If I make 50,000 a year and my wife makes the same, and we file jointly - we are taxed on 100,000. The percentage of that amount is taxed at a rate of 35-40% meaning we pay 35-40,000 in taxes total (city, state and federal). If we file seperate, we are taxed on 50,000 at a rate of 28 - 32% or a 15,000 average for a total of 30,000 in taxes owed. The 5-10,000 difference is what is called the marriage penalty.
Most file jointly. However if they have huge disparity in income they can file seperate as married. This would happen if one was a CEO and the other a janitor.
to get more money back?
Depending on the situation...like tax deductions %26amp; write offs or a business..sometimes you pay less tax if you file seperately.
If you use the MSN Tax Advisor site to estimate your taxes..it will tell you if it's better to file together or seperately.
Of course a CPA will do a better job cause they know all the rules %26amp; exceptions.
Why? Because sometimes it is in their best financial interest to do so. This often happens when one partner in the marriage makes substantial earnings above and beyond that of the other partner. It could also be because one partner has multiple financial interests and the other just has a simple full time job.
The best reason I can think of is one in which the couple is made up of two people who have been married before and insist on keeping their finances separate from each others. That way, when the refund check comes in from the State or the Federal Government it only has one name on it and the addressee is free to do whatever he or she wishes with it. Oh, sometimes it is a big bill to pay and the other party doesn't want to get in hock to the State or the Feds because of the other's financial messes. They are not really insulated from it by this, but it feels better.
The other answers didn't cover one other reason to file separately.
Once you sign the tax return you are attesting to the fact that the information is correct and can be held criminally liable if is later proven that it is not.
If one spouse suspects the other of criminal activities, such as selling strange white powder, they may want to file separately in order to protect themselves later down the road. You also may suspect that your spouse is providing false information on the return that you didn't want to be held liable for later.
Of course if you suspect your spouse of criminal activities you are probally faced with a whole litany of other problems.zits

Do interracial couples try to draw attention to their selves in public?
It seems like interracial couples go out in public and want everybody to notice them.Do interracial couples try to draw attention to their selves in public?
Wow me and a bunch of friends talked about this about a week or 2 ago.
Now I had a white Cuban bf for almost 5 yrs. and trust we didn't need to try to get attention. It wasn't too common to see Latino men especially the fairer ones with a black girl lol....we didn't need to try to get attention and neither did my friend who is his sister when she was with her children's father who is black American (Taye Diggs color) for almost 7 yrs, people just look.
There are white girls especially and asian females etc with black men who like to show them off sure.....not all and there are black men who loved to showcase their non-black woman like trophies but not all because I'm sure plenty are truly in love or aren't worried about getting attention and just want to be a normal couple. I don't think all interracial couples go out just because they want people to notice them like they are something super special or different because pssssh these days interracial dating is extremely common. I usually walk past a white girl and black man holding hands or kissing and think nothing of it.Do interracial couples try to draw attention to their selves in public?
I just try to mind my own business, I can't help it that people want to look at me and my husband.
Some whom I've spoken to have said that they like the attention. But the attention is not always positive. That's a bad and insecure reason to date someone if you ask me.
When I dated outside of my race, we got plenty of unwanted stares and some smiles too.
I'd like to think that interracial couples date one another because of a common ground or spiritual attraction to one another, but that's not always the case.
Although I am sure some IR couples are like this, I'd think the opposite to be the norm.
I've been in an IR relationship for nearly 20 years (married almost 17 years) and my husband and I prefer to just go about our business and hope that others will do the same. We aren't into PDA's, though. The most we'll do is hold hands or he'll put his arm around me, and even that is rare.
I don't care to see ANY couple kissing, groping, etc. and I'm sure others feel the same.
It's apparent you have never been apart of an interracial couple...
The reason we are noticed is because of the natural and unique blend of the two races colliding together...most interracial couples can careless if they are noticed...
Can you elaborate on why you really are asking this question...have you noticed a couple that did this??? Very strange-
no they dont maybe you are the one trying to draw attention to them so that it may seem they are trying to draw attention. and i do agree with Tambourine!
Maybe and maybe not. The new guy Im seeing is white (and part hispanic) and Im black. He seems to be into that thing were he kind of wants people to notice us and he'll hug me and hold my hands when he sees people staring. I think its cute lol
no i dont .... and i wish people would stop looking at our color and just see that we love each other
LoL @ shabazz. It's time for you to go take a nap.
---
Well, from my past experiences some* interracial couples do want to be seen. *ahem* Some of them like to cause problems and act nasty when there is really no need. I think the nasty behavior stems from assuming that other people care about their relationship status. It's not good to assume.
Maybe YOU are the one paying too much attention.
You sound like a lonely hater. I can kiss my man all I want. And he's latino!
I think ALL couples do that, NOTHING to do with RACE
I'm in an interracial relationship and we don't try to draw attention to ourselves - it just so happens that people notice us and stare like we're circus freaks (in certain areas of town). That's their problem, not ours.
Nikigirl - Did you seriously just write that?
No we don't. Perhaps you should stop gawking at us like we are alien creatures.
I don't think thats true. They are just trying to mind there own business like normal people.
really ? cuz the only time i had the misfortune or fortune, however you wanna percieve it, to date a white woman, i always hid from everyone. i didnt want angry sisters all up in my bidness and i dint want to start whooping on white bwaiis for looking at me wrong cuz i dint wanna do no mo time in prison son
lol lacedout sup mami
i have been part of interracial couples and i can say that i did not want the attention at all
but i have noticed that some of them do try to get attention and are looking to achieve some satisfaction in making people mad or something
i am very perceptive and have noticed that more of late
but honestly, as a person who has been there, just being what you are puts a spotlight on you
I don't think they do, on the contray some of them act stuck up. Specifically, the ones who are not white
I am a mixed black and white woman and i agree, interracial couples do appear to be in search of attention when they date . Most of the time the people involved in the relationship are obese and unattractive and unemployed, except my parents who are well off and gorgeous and not obese

Can gay couples stay at Sandals resorts?
My wife and I are going to Jamaica on holiday this year and my Brother and his boyfriend would like to come with us, We were thinking of staying in a Sandals resort. Would they feel comfortable there or would they even be accepted at the resort.Can gay couples stay at Sandals resorts?
Gay people never used to be allowed.
The booking conditions used to be something like ';mixed sex couples only';
But because of the change to law in the UK, it could be that they have been forced to change as you can no longer withhold goods or services on the basis of sexual orientation.
Probably best either reading the small print in the brochure, or simply asking the travel company you're booking withCan gay couples stay at Sandals resorts?
I believe Sandals is a gay friendly place. There are some websites that list gay friendly place around the world, you could trying looking there.
As long as they are wearing a shirt and shoes, all should be fine. It's Sandals at Jamaica man, they would not care how gay or straight anyone is.
yes
only with the proper footwear
Would they like throw u out? Go anyway nothing will happen.

Should couples be completely open with each other about their past relationships?
I would but being that her sister was involved without her knowledge I think it best to just keep it a secret for now, probably forever.Should couples be completely open with each other about their past relationships?
Yes %26amp; no......
Well, i agree the past is the past,but in some cases,some things should be mentioned....especially if it is something that will effect your current relatioship in a negative way...like if you have contracted an infecious disease,or if it is something serious like that,then yes,bring it up...but not all things should be brought out in the open in my opinion!!!
Like the number of partners you have had,or anything that would make your current partner jealous,or feel like less of a person!!!Should couples be completely open with each other about their past relationships?
Only if it is effecting their current relationship. Otherwise, the less said the better.
No I did %26amp; never heard the end of it ! The past is past %26amp; leave it in the past where it belongs !
JMM
No,the past is the past,I don't want to hear about my lovers other conquests...xxx
eventually, but not right off

Give me some advice on a couples tattoo?
My fiance and I are looking to get a tattoo on both of our left wrists. We have been trying to come up with some type of design but can't think of anything. A quote maybe, or a symbol. He is mexican and I am french/norwegian... so we were also thinking about doing something along those lines. We need ideas, and we can't seem to come up with any. Help!Give me some advice on a couples tattoo?
you could both get a symbol to represent eternity.
a kanji symbol, or something more unique such as:
http://www.zeitlin.net/EndEnchantment/im鈥?/a>
(which is a symbol for eternity)
http://www.cmhltd.net/jadesymb4.jpg
(Everlasting Knot: A mostly decorative eternity symbol)
or there's a zibu angelic symbol for ';sacred union';
http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs043鈥?/a>
you could also get :
each others initials entwined,
the date of your engagement,
a heart
something to represent love/togetherness
Give me some advice on a couples tattoo?
I'm sure that you've had plenty of people telling you not to get one in case your marriage doesn't work out, but another thing you may want to think about is how it could effect your job. If your tattoo could show when you go to work, then you may not want to get it in that spot. If you want a tattoo special to your race, then maybe you can get each others name tattooed with the date of your wedding in the colors of that persons country. For example, you could get his name and the date of your wedding in red, green and white, and he could get your name in blue, red and white. A good place for this may be your lower back because I doubt that you would have a job where you have to show that much skin. Congratulations!
i think it is a cool idea.
being married is a big part of your life, even if it does go sour. you learn a lot from marriage
you could do something like this.
http://www.myexpression.com/SysImages/We鈥?/a>
or this
http://www.decodeunicode.org/en/u+26ad/d鈥?/a>
you could do the date of your marriage.
a small tree or plant of some sort, to represent how love can grow and flourish (or wilt and die)
a trademark or number that is special to the both of you, maybe your motto?
Even if something would happen in your marriage a tattoo can remind of you mistakes you made, what to avoid, what a strong person you are, etc.
If I were to get a couples tattoo i would do something along these lines opposed to a name.
Not sure of what, it has to be something symbolic to your relationship. My husband had my name and our weeding date in roman numerals. I have my wedding vows in german on my feet and on my left side from rib to hip a tattoo pieced together to mean '; eternal true love'; with his name.
I think it's a cute idea but don't get names or anything like that. Cause if it doesn't work out you don't want a permanent reminder. A quote would be cool. or something simple like two butterflies er something flloating around together but don't get sometyhing you might regret.
luvs %26amp; best of luck : I_Dazzle_U
yeah hun I for sure would not do it....you might be in love with each other but wut if there is that chance something happens?
I am crazy about my boyfreind and have been with him a while and talking abpout getting married soon....however no no no matching one ]=
don't do it, you will curse your relationship and then you will have a reminder of the man forever, a reminder that you are not going to want
I think couple tattoos are a kiss of death on a relationships. :/
Couple tattoos = fail.
advice: don't do it. ever.

I'm sure that you've had plenty of people telling you not to get one in case your marriage doesn't work out, but another thing you may want to think about is how it could effect your job. If your tattoo could show when you go to work, then you may not want to get it in that spot. If you want a tattoo special to your race, then maybe you can get each others name tattooed with the date of your wedding in the colors of that persons country. For example, you could get his name and the date of your wedding in red, green and white, and he could get your name in blue, red and white. A good place for this may be your lower back because I doubt that you would have a job where you have to show that much skin. Congratulations!
i think it is a cool idea.
being married is a big part of your life, even if it does go sour. you learn a lot from marriage
you could do something like this.
http://www.myexpression.com/SysImages/We鈥?/a>
or this
http://www.decodeunicode.org/en/u+26ad/d鈥?/a>
you could do the date of your marriage.
a small tree or plant of some sort, to represent how love can grow and flourish (or wilt and die)
a trademark or number that is special to the both of you, maybe your motto?
Even if something would happen in your marriage a tattoo can remind of you mistakes you made, what to avoid, what a strong person you are, etc.
If I were to get a couples tattoo i would do something along these lines opposed to a name.
Not sure of what, it has to be something symbolic to your relationship. My husband had my name and our weeding date in roman numerals. I have my wedding vows in german on my feet and on my left side from rib to hip a tattoo pieced together to mean '; eternal true love'; with his name.
I think it's a cute idea but don't get names or anything like that. Cause if it doesn't work out you don't want a permanent reminder. A quote would be cool. or something simple like two butterflies er something flloating around together but don't get sometyhing you might regret.
luvs %26amp; best of luck : I_Dazzle_U
yeah hun I for sure would not do it....you might be in love with each other but wut if there is that chance something happens?
I am crazy about my boyfreind and have been with him a while and talking abpout getting married soon....however no no no matching one ]=
don't do it, you will curse your relationship and then you will have a reminder of the man forever, a reminder that you are not going to want
I think couple tattoos are a kiss of death on a relationships. :/
Couple tattoos = fail.
advice: don't do it. ever.
What differences would you expect between couples?
with different age groups how different would you expect couples to act between these age groups
upto say 20
between 20 and 29
and from 30 upwards?What differences would you expect between couples?
I would expect younger couples (teens to 20) to be more... light and free (that's not the best way to describe it)... but they probably haven't been together for too long.
20-29 seems like they would be more mellow and close, because they've been together for a while and this age is when most people get married.
30 and up... I typically picture a married couple, so they're very comfortable and familiar with each other. They've been through it all before.

How long did it take couples in there 20's to conceive?
With sex although ovualtion?How long did it take couples in there 20's to conceive?
The average it is supposed to take a healthy couple in their 20's is 6months to a year. It took me and my husband 4 months the first time and 5months almost 6 months the second time. The first time I didn't know for sure when I ovulated but this time I did know for sure. How long did it take couples in there 20's to conceive?
My husband and I are both 27 and it took us 2 years to conceive. I had lots of tests and there's nothing wrong with me (or with my husband)- we were told to have more sex (but not too much- every 2-3 days around ovulation) and I had to relax. My stress levels were causing my hormones to get out of whack, and that seemed to be the problem. We did conceive in the end with no assistance or medication after I started eating better, exercising more and stressing less. I also used www.fertilityfriend.com to determine exactly when I was ovulating (turned out to be two weeks late every time).
well im nearly 20 and my partners 25 and it took us about 6 weeks of trying as we started trying mid cycle, i had a period n then we continued trying and i didnt have one after that becuase turned out i was late so took a test and YAY pregnant! =)
we had sex every 2-3 days thorughout the entire cycle which i think helped give us a good chance
I'm 23 and my partner is 26 and I literally got pregnant first time of trying which was a happy surprise. I obviously got the timing right as I had a rough idea as to when I was ovulating and made sure we did the deed over those few days lol
I'm 24, completely healthy...I started in April, and found out I was pregnant yesterday!
5 MONTHS for us. We had calculated ovulation, took ovulation strips, and used pre-seed, and it still took that long.
Hopefully you'll get it on the first shot! :)
I was 25 when we started trying. It took 11 months for me to get pregnant.
Its awful when it takes so long, all kinds of things went through my mind, but my perfect little angel was well worth the wait.
I was incredibly lucky both times - first time lucky with my first child (aged 22), then 3 months with the current (age 25).
There are many other factors to consider as well as age though.
We were very lucky I was 27 I came off the pill in December and was pregnant in January, my second was just as quick but my third (which was twins) took me 10 months but I was 34 by then.
Well I'm 20 and my fiance is 27 it took us two months of sex off the pill but we weren't exactly trying. And yes we had sex all threw ovulation i believe.
Me an my ex tried for 7 years anmd it never happened I geuss it's good though cuz hes my ex now but me an my new bf got preg within 8 months of being 2gether
2 years with my first son! and this time we had one little accident(condom split)!!! and i am 17 weeks pregnant with my 2nd son!!(which we are very happy about!!)
good luck hun xxxx
my first took 3 months and my second took 6 months, after 4 months of trying i took an ovulation test and found out i was ovulating 5 days later than we thought i was.
It took me 8 months to ovulate after coming off the pill, but we conceived in the first ovulation.
about a month and a half. i'm blessed too b/c i was diagnosed with pcos.
my hubby and i had a baby when i was 26 and got pregnant on first attempt, and the same happened second time round, at 31yrs.
we're very fertile!
1 month both times even after coming off the pill...
Got pregnant just before we started trying, very lucky :)
2 months the first time and 6 the second time around
1 month both times depends on the couple
2 weeks (I'm 23), but I improved my diet, did more exercise, drank loads of water.

DO COUPLES WHO ARE NOT VIRGINS HOLD HANDS WHILE OUT?
i read a book, and it said that after having sex with your partner, you can nvr go back to just holding hands. i wanted to know if that was true. and if so, what other ways can you tell that couples are not virgins?DO COUPLES WHO ARE NOT VIRGINS HOLD HANDS WHILE OUT?
Sugar pie, don't believe everything you read. After 31 years of marriage and a beautiful daughter who is the light of our lives, my husband and I still hold hands when we're out together.
I don't think the book meant what it said literally, I think it meant that once you've moved a relationship up to that level of intimacy, you can't become un-intimate. ';Just holding hands'; is a metaphor for the early days of a relationship when you're just getting to know each other and even touching publicly in a romantic way is a proclamation of affection.
One thing I am absolutely sure of: the book DOESN'T mean that couples that don't hold hands aren't virgins, or that you can tell if someone isn't a virgin because they won't hold hands. Sheesh.DO COUPLES WHO ARE NOT VIRGINS HOLD HANDS WHILE OUT?
I don't think the book meant that you never hold hands anymore, but that you couldn't be satisfied with simply holding hands fro the rest of the relationship now that they've already gotten so far in.
And, if you want an obvious example that couples who have had sex still holds hands, take a look at your parents, or your friends parents, or someone like that. Guess what? They had to have sex to have you, or your friend, and they still hold hands.
And please don't do all caps. It's kind of annoying.
jeeeeezus! are you kidding me?!
of course you can hold hands!
lol(:
youre a goof!
:P
well, looking at a couple, you CANT tell that theyre not virgins..
but if i was your best friend, for example, i would be able to tell if you gave it up.
There is no designated actions for whether or not you're a virgin. The book was most likely speaking metaphorically.
lol, its a metaphor for ';You can't go back to ONLY little stuff like holding hands';. You can always hold hands if you want ^_^
Plenty of couples hold hands after having sex. Why does it matter if other couples are virgins?
wtf...ive been with my gf for three years and we always hold hands in public and while alone. sorry but you better get new books
That's not true .
Not true.
ha...um no.
yell out we are not virgins
why do they need to know?

why do they need to know?
If there are too many couples who want to adopt a baby why dont they adopt a baby from Africa?
Where there are thousands of babies that starve to death?
Do most people only want to adopt beautiful white babies?
Dont you find that hypocritical?If there are too many couples who want to adopt a baby why dont they adopt a baby from Africa?
I knew a white couple who adopted two black children years ago. They came in for a lot of criticism because black people said they should have been adopted by a black couple. I don't know what happened to the girls when they grew up, but it is entirely possible they resented their adoptive parents' ';condescension'; or otherwise felt they would have been better off with parents who looked more like them.
There's no right and wrong here: people are resentful no matter what you do. But personally, I feel it is a good idea for adopted kids to look at least a little like natural-born to the parents. That is, black kids could be adopted by a mixed black-and-white couple, or a black couple who have some white blood, but very dark (African) kids might be pretty uncomfortable introducing paleface parents.If there are too many couples who want to adopt a baby why dont they adopt a baby from Africa?
ALOT of american couples travel all over the world adopting children of not there ethinic back ground. There are many national adopting programs that help americans adopt from ther country..Watch the discovery programs. Yeah some whant a white baby that is there prefrence but that is a small portion. You also have families that adopt kids who are in foster homes who's own parents abused or neglected.
Mostly the cost of overseas adoption is quite prohibitive. Tens of thousands of dollars, and that is the starting fee for the inexpensive countries. And the paperwork is a nightmare, and then the requirements to retrieve the child (especially if the parent must go and pick him/her up). I don't believe for the majority that they are looking at race issues, but rather at the cost and hindrances established by governments.
No, I find that freedom of choice
This answer is simple. African children are BLACK. And I believe most WHITES would not want one.
I don't need to go into detail. We still have a long way to go on this issue. Personally to me people are people. Some good some bad. I would think that the religious right would be helping children of all nationalities, but I have yet to see this.
Remember the sermon on the mount?
I find that very ironic.
Most people that adopt seem to adopt Asian babies, unless I'm mistaken, they seem to be the babies of choice.
And as for the African babies, I would only appreciate people adopting them if they themselves were black. This is why IF i get married and IF i have kids I would want to adopt one from Africa or at the least an African American baby. I think they suffer too much for just being born Black in the world.
No, but they should think about their country first. My opinion only.
I find it hypocritical for you to ask this question as if you care and as if you're not prejudiced yourself, and in the same breath refer to white babies as if they're the only beautiful babies!
are you trying to say sarcastic?...your reference to white babies in exception still doesn't make any sense to me
You don`t `force` people to adopt what they do not want,do u?
Well those African babies would not be starving to death if the 'parents' were more responsible........let's see......If you can't feed yourself, you have NO business being pregnant!

Do Los Angeles (or California) have more tolerance for interracial couples than any other city or state?
Like bm/ww relationships, vice versa, and so on?
PS: I live in Southern California, living an anti-social life, so I wouldn't know.Do Los Angeles (or California) have more tolerance for interracial couples than any other city or state?
Interracial relationships aren't the hot topic anymore. People would rather see two races mixing than they would same sexes. Even then, Californians are pretty tolerant.
You'd be suprised to find a great deal of interracial relationships in places like Wisconsin. My brother lives there - in Beloit. I was there for a month, and all I saw was interracial couples - more than I've ever seen in LA.
So, to answer your question, Californians are tolerant, but not as much as Wisconsin, Chicago and Michigan residents.

What do divorced couples do with their wedding and engagement rings?
After the couples get divorced, do they toss the wedding and engagement rings away?What do divorced couples do with their wedding and engagement rings?
I don't know what other people do and could care less to follow the norm. I still wear mine on my right hand and I think he wears his on his neck sometimes. The rings don't symbolize anything more than a piece of jewelry. I can't just toss it because it cost a lot and I don't want to sell it because I love the diamond and the design---so why not wear it?What do divorced couples do with their wedding and engagement rings?
Sell them on Ebay or get the diamonds taken out and put them on something else.
keep them as reminders why you hate men lol or sell them for money but its nice if you keep them its a memory and a piece of your life time =]
save it in case you get married again. or just sell it online, pawn shops are dirty and gross.
Depends on how the divorce ended but most sell their rings or pawn them, wouldn't toss them if you can get some money. Maybe you could give them to a friend if you consider tossing.
Keep them for a rainy day, then sell them if necessary.
Hi Cathy! Try Ebay. You might score more there for it than you would at a pawn shop. Happy singlehood! Enjoy it!
they throw them away or pawn them!!
Sell it or Pawn it. Most people I know then use the money to go shopping %26amp; splurg it on themsleves.
I would pawn mine.
save them to give to their kids if there was of any value to it.
Don't waist your money!! Sell them, here in Yahoo or try E-bay, I am sure you will get good money for them.
Good luck!!
Everyone has to make that decision for themselves. I sold mine and enjoyed the money.
I kept them for my daughter. When she is grown she can have them.
go to the nearest, major, high bridge and close ur eyes throw one and make a wish (use engament ring)
Then take the wedding ring and close ur eyes and wish he will nevr be in your life again when you throw it
**remember to mean it **
I pawned mine rings. My ex probably did the same.
I sold mine to buy a new refrigerator!
or get $ for them
put um on ebay
Some people toss the rings to get rid of the bag mojo. Most people pawn them. I pawned mine! Now, if it鈥檚 an engagement ring and the marriage never takes place, the gal should return the ring to the guy. There was a supreme court ruling on that about a month ago- and it鈥檚 the right thing to do.
SELL THEM GET SOMETHING OUT OF MARRIAGE AND MAKE SOME MONEY TO ARE KEEP THEM AS A REMINDER OF THINGS PAST AND LEARN FROM THEM
I pond mine.
my friend threw hers in the river (pawning sounded like a wiser idea to me)
I saved mine so I can pass them to my son when he is ready to marry. Doubt he will use the actual rings, but he can have the gold melted down and have a new set fashioned for his fiancee.
some keep them for their children and some sell them or trade them in for a bigger ring for thier next wedding..atleast that what my ex did
my friend had hers melted into another ring
It's in a drawer somewhere.
I wonder if I can get it melted down and turned into something useful?
Oops. That's a question. Oh well, it's along the same thread......
sell them or keep them just for meomry
That is what I did.
pawn shops are good. Or, if you have a child from the marriage, you can take the rings to a jeweler and the can make them into something nice you can give your child to say....the marriage didn't work, but you are someone so special that came from our time together, this (necklace, ring) is for you to remember that.
uuhh pawn themzits

I sold mine to buy a new refrigerator!
or get $ for them
put um on ebay
Some people toss the rings to get rid of the bag mojo. Most people pawn them. I pawned mine! Now, if it鈥檚 an engagement ring and the marriage never takes place, the gal should return the ring to the guy. There was a supreme court ruling on that about a month ago- and it鈥檚 the right thing to do.
SELL THEM GET SOMETHING OUT OF MARRIAGE AND MAKE SOME MONEY TO ARE KEEP THEM AS A REMINDER OF THINGS PAST AND LEARN FROM THEM
I pond mine.
my friend threw hers in the river (pawning sounded like a wiser idea to me)
I saved mine so I can pass them to my son when he is ready to marry. Doubt he will use the actual rings, but he can have the gold melted down and have a new set fashioned for his fiancee.
some keep them for their children and some sell them or trade them in for a bigger ring for thier next wedding..atleast that what my ex did
my friend had hers melted into another ring
It's in a drawer somewhere.
I wonder if I can get it melted down and turned into something useful?
Oops. That's a question. Oh well, it's along the same thread......
sell them or keep them just for meomry
That is what I did.
pawn shops are good. Or, if you have a child from the marriage, you can take the rings to a jeweler and the can make them into something nice you can give your child to say....the marriage didn't work, but you are someone so special that came from our time together, this (necklace, ring) is for you to remember that.
uuhh pawn them
What do you think of traditional gender roles for couples?
I myself enjoy the heck out of cooking and I would welcome it if my girlfriend wanted to change the oil in my truck.What do you think of traditional gender roles for couples?
Good for you! My wife is the mechanic in our family and I do more than my share of the housework! IT works for us and sounds like it does for you too! Hey, it takes a man to admit that he can or wants to do things like this. It doesn't bother me at all.
I hope you continue to enjoy your cooking!What do you think of traditional gender roles for couples?
It 2006 and the days of I love Lucy and the Clever family rules darn near don't exist...the tradition for today is what makes a household work well do it !! If you are into cooking ? Too cool ---so many women nowadays hold down career's that take everything out of them--to come home to a home cooked meal? Great--the oil change thing? well that's a personal attraction to many --not a fun job to be sure but I have been known to change the oil--Its cheaper than say a lube shop but then you have to deal with discarding the used oil---But many women like yard work and things that get them outdoors due to the fact that they work all week inside..So go for finding someone that wood like to have the man of their dreams cook for them--
I love being a stay at homemom, and my husband pays all the bills. But when I need help around the house he has no problem pitching in, even making a three entree dinner. And when he asks me why I didn't have a chance to wash his favorite jeans, I tell him I was too busy, and he says, oh, ok, and washes them himself. I think a little old tradition is cool, but in todays world, most relationships are 50/50.

Can gay couples stay at Sandals resorts?
My wife and I are going to Jamaica on holiday this year and my Brother and his boyfriend would like to come with us, We were thinking of staying in a Sandals resort. Would they feel comfortable there or would they even be accepted at the resort.Can gay couples stay at Sandals resorts?
Gay people never used to be allowed.
The booking conditions used to be something like ';mixed sex couples only';
But because of the change to law in the UK, it could be that they have been forced to change as you can no longer withhold goods or services on the basis of sexual orientation.
Probably best either reading the small print in the brochure, or simply asking the travel company you're booking withCan gay couples stay at Sandals resorts?
I believe Sandals is a gay friendly place. There are some websites that list gay friendly place around the world, you could trying looking there.
As long as they are wearing a shirt and shoes, all should be fine. It's Sandals at Jamaica man, they would not care how gay or straight anyone is.
yes
only with the proper footwear
Would they like throw u out? Go anyway nothing will happen.

Should couples be completely open with each other about their past relationships?
I would but being that her sister was involved without her knowledge I think it best to just keep it a secret for now, probably forever.Should couples be completely open with each other about their past relationships?
Yes %26amp; no......
Well, i agree the past is the past,but in some cases,some things should be mentioned....especially if it is something that will effect your current relatioship in a negative way...like if you have contracted an infecious disease,or if it is something serious like that,then yes,bring it up...but not all things should be brought out in the open in my opinion!!!
Like the number of partners you have had,or anything that would make your current partner jealous,or feel like less of a person!!!Should couples be completely open with each other about their past relationships?
Only if it is effecting their current relationship. Otherwise, the less said the better.
No I did %26amp; never heard the end of it ! The past is past %26amp; leave it in the past where it belongs !
JMM
No,the past is the past,I don't want to hear about my lovers other conquests...xxx
eventually, but not right off

People think male couples are cute, but how about girl couples?
I'm bi, and a lot of my friends; mainly girls, think that gay couples are just adorable. Why don't guys think the same thing about girl couples?People think male couples are cute, but how about girl couples?
Male couples are cute but girl couples are just plain hotPeople think male couples are cute, but how about girl couples?
maybe their not attacted to the ladies
girl couples are hot and i wish i could be part of one!
some guys find girl couples hot too.
Hmmmm...
I know plenty of straight guys who are the opposite way.
But that might be because they think lesbians are hot..
Personally I think any couple can be adorable, regardless of gender!
It all depends on the people in it. ;)
girl couples are hot!! :D
even though i dont like girls, i know its true! :)
Im a lesbian and i have always wondered the same thing
When I see two people, any two people, in love or kissing I always think they are cute. Love is always beautiful.
I never said male couples were cool. Who told u this??
no i think its the other way around...but i dont mind..all couples are cute :3
HOT!
yeah girl couples are hot/adorable and i agree with the fact any couple can be adorable it just depends
IDK, not compassionate? Self centered?
Male couples are not cute. What are your friends smoking?
i think because many people assume girls dated other girls for attention
idk i think they're cute but i have a biased opinion lol
I think all gay couples are cute XD
you people can be gay and homo all you want but i think its gross.
Me and my ex got a lot of compliments saying we look very good together. We both look like women and are attractive.
i find girl couples are pretty hot!
my opinion on that is that whether its a male or female couple, they can still be cute/hot!!
and guys are just weird!
Honestly, I think it's a dominance issue. In a straight white male society, the concept that two girls could love each other and be in a committed relationship without a male is just too much for society to handle. Two gay men can be seen as comical; but two lesbians challenges their hegemonic notions of what is right. For the record, I think both couples are cute ;-)
Good point but at least we get that. Female couples are more socially accepted by males all together.
slutty.

Give me some advice on a couples tattoo?
My fiance and I are looking to get a tattoo on both of our left wrists. We have been trying to come up with some type of design but can't think of anything. A quote maybe, or a symbol. He is mexican and I am french/norwegian... so we were also thinking about doing something along those lines. We need ideas, and we can't seem to come up with any. Help!Give me some advice on a couples tattoo?
you could both get a symbol to represent eternity.
a kanji symbol, or something more unique such as:
http://www.zeitlin.net/EndEnchantment/im鈥?/a>
(which is a symbol for eternity)
http://www.cmhltd.net/jadesymb4.jpg
(Everlasting Knot: A mostly decorative eternity symbol)
or there's a zibu angelic symbol for ';sacred union';
http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs043鈥?/a>
you could also get :
each others initials entwined,
the date of your engagement,
a heart
something to represent love/togetherness
Give me some advice on a couples tattoo?
I'm sure that you've had plenty of people telling you not to get one in case your marriage doesn't work out, but another thing you may want to think about is how it could effect your job. If your tattoo could show when you go to work, then you may not want to get it in that spot. If you want a tattoo special to your race, then maybe you can get each others name tattooed with the date of your wedding in the colors of that persons country. For example, you could get his name and the date of your wedding in red, green and white, and he could get your name in blue, red and white. A good place for this may be your lower back because I doubt that you would have a job where you have to show that much skin. Congratulations!
i think it is a cool idea.
being married is a big part of your life, even if it does go sour. you learn a lot from marriage
you could do something like this.
http://www.myexpression.com/SysImages/We鈥?/a>
or this
http://www.decodeunicode.org/en/u+26ad/d鈥?/a>
you could do the date of your marriage.
a small tree or plant of some sort, to represent how love can grow and flourish (or wilt and die)
a trademark or number that is special to the both of you, maybe your motto?
Even if something would happen in your marriage a tattoo can remind of you mistakes you made, what to avoid, what a strong person you are, etc.
If I were to get a couples tattoo i would do something along these lines opposed to a name.
Not sure of what, it has to be something symbolic to your relationship. My husband had my name and our weeding date in roman numerals. I have my wedding vows in german on my feet and on my left side from rib to hip a tattoo pieced together to mean '; eternal true love'; with his name.
I think it's a cute idea but don't get names or anything like that. Cause if it doesn't work out you don't want a permanent reminder. A quote would be cool. or something simple like two butterflies er something flloating around together but don't get sometyhing you might regret.
luvs %26amp; best of luck : I_Dazzle_U
yeah hun I for sure would not do it....you might be in love with each other but wut if there is that chance something happens?
I am crazy about my boyfreind and have been with him a while and talking abpout getting married soon....however no no no matching one ]=
don't do it, you will curse your relationship and then you will have a reminder of the man forever, a reminder that you are not going to want
I think couple tattoos are a kiss of death on a relationships. :/

What differences would you expect between couples?
with different age groups how different would you expect couples to act between these age groups
upto say 20
between 20 and 29
and from 30 upwards?What differences would you expect between couples?
I would expect younger couples (teens to 20) to be more... light and free (that's not the best way to describe it)... but they probably haven't been together for too long.
20-29 seems like they would be more mellow and close, because they've been together for a while and this age is when most people get married.
30 and up... I typically picture a married couple, so they're very comfortable and familiar with each other. They've been through it all before.

How long did it take couples in there 20's to conceive?
With sex although ovualtion?How long did it take couples in there 20's to conceive?
The average it is supposed to take a healthy couple in their 20's is 6months to a year. It took me and my husband 4 months the first time and 5months almost 6 months the second time. The first time I didn't know for sure when I ovulated but this time I did know for sure. How long did it take couples in there 20's to conceive?
My husband and I are both 27 and it took us 2 years to conceive. I had lots of tests and there's nothing wrong with me (or with my husband)- we were told to have more sex (but not too much- every 2-3 days around ovulation) and I had to relax. My stress levels were causing my hormones to get out of whack, and that seemed to be the problem. We did conceive in the end with no assistance or medication after I started eating better, exercising more and stressing less. I also used www.fertilityfriend.com to determine exactly when I was ovulating (turned out to be two weeks late every time).
well im nearly 20 and my partners 25 and it took us about 6 weeks of trying as we started trying mid cycle, i had a period n then we continued trying and i didnt have one after that becuase turned out i was late so took a test and YAY pregnant! =)
we had sex every 2-3 days thorughout the entire cycle which i think helped give us a good chance
I'm 23 and my partner is 26 and I literally got pregnant first time of trying which was a happy surprise. I obviously got the timing right as I had a rough idea as to when I was ovulating and made sure we did the deed over those few days lol
I'm 24, completely healthy...I started in April, and found out I was pregnant yesterday!
5 MONTHS for us. We had calculated ovulation, took ovulation strips, and used pre-seed, and it still took that long.
Hopefully you'll get it on the first shot! :)
I was 25 when we started trying. It took 11 months for me to get pregnant.
Its awful when it takes so long, all kinds of things went through my mind, but my perfect little angel was well worth the wait.
I was incredibly lucky both times - first time lucky with my first child (aged 22), then 3 months with the current (age 25).
There are many other factors to consider as well as age though.
We were very lucky I was 27 I came off the pill in December and was pregnant in January, my second was just as quick but my third (which was twins) took me 10 months but I was 34 by then.
Well I'm 20 and my fiance is 27 it took us two months of sex off the pill but we weren't exactly trying. And yes we had sex all threw ovulation i believe.
Me an my ex tried for 7 years anmd it never happened I geuss it's good though cuz hes my ex now but me an my new bf got preg within 8 months of being 2gether
2 years with my first son! and this time we had one little accident(condom split)!!! and i am 17 weeks pregnant with my 2nd son!!(which we are very happy about!!)
good luck hun xxxx
my first took 3 months and my second took 6 months, after 4 months of trying i took an ovulation test and found out i was ovulating 5 days later than we thought i was.
It took me 8 months to ovulate after coming off the pill, but we conceived in the first ovulation.
about a month and a half. i'm blessed too b/c i was diagnosed with pcos.
my hubby and i had a baby when i was 26 and got pregnant on first attempt, and the same happened second time round, at 31yrs.
we're very fertile!

DO COUPLES WHO ARE NOT VIRGINS HOLD HANDS WHILE OUT?
i read a book, and it said that after having sex with your partner, you can nvr go back to just holding hands. i wanted to know if that was true. and if so, what other ways can you tell that couples are not virgins?DO COUPLES WHO ARE NOT VIRGINS HOLD HANDS WHILE OUT?
Sugar pie, don't believe everything you read. After 31 years of marriage and a beautiful daughter who is the light of our lives, my husband and I still hold hands when we're out together.
I don't think the book meant what it said literally, I think it meant that once you've moved a relationship up to that level of intimacy, you can't become un-intimate. ';Just holding hands'; is a metaphor for the early days of a relationship when you're just getting to know each other and even touching publicly in a romantic way is a proclamation of affection.
One thing I am absolutely sure of: the book DOESN'T mean that couples that don't hold hands aren't virgins, or that you can tell if someone isn't a virgin because they won't hold hands. Sheesh.DO COUPLES WHO ARE NOT VIRGINS HOLD HANDS WHILE OUT?
I don't think the book meant that you never hold hands anymore, but that you couldn't be satisfied with simply holding hands fro the rest of the relationship now that they've already gotten so far in.
And, if you want an obvious example that couples who have had sex still holds hands, take a look at your parents, or your friends parents, or someone like that. Guess what? They had to have sex to have you, or your friend, and they still hold hands.
And please don't do all caps. It's kind of annoying.
jeeeeezus! are you kidding me?!
of course you can hold hands!
lol(:
youre a goof!
:P
well, looking at a couple, you CANT tell that theyre not virgins..
but if i was your best friend, for example, i would be able to tell if you gave it up.
There is no designated actions for whether or not you're a virgin. The book was most likely speaking metaphorically.
lol, its a metaphor for ';You can't go back to ONLY little stuff like holding hands';. You can always hold hands if you want ^_^
Plenty of couples hold hands after having sex. Why does it matter if other couples are virgins?
wtf...ive been with my gf for three years and we always hold hands in public and while alone. sorry but you better get new books
That's not true .
Not true.
ha...um no.
yell out we are not virgins
why do they need to know?
Sugar pie, don't believe everything you read. After 31 years of marriage and a beautiful daughter who is the light of our lives, my husband and I still hold hands when we're out together.

why do they need to know?
If there are too many couples who want to adopt a baby why dont they adopt a baby from Africa?
Where there are thousands of babies that starve to death?
Do most people only want to adopt beautiful white babies?
Dont you find that hypocritical?If there are too many couples who want to adopt a baby why dont they adopt a baby from Africa?
I knew a white couple who adopted two black children years ago. They came in for a lot of criticism because black people said they should have been adopted by a black couple. I don't know what happened to the girls when they grew up, but it is entirely possible they resented their adoptive parents' ';condescension'; or otherwise felt they would have been better off with parents who looked more like them.
There's no right and wrong here: people are resentful no matter what you do. But personally, I feel it is a good idea for adopted kids to look at least a little like natural-born to the parents. That is, black kids could be adopted by a mixed black-and-white couple, or a black couple who have some white blood, but very dark (African) kids might be pretty uncomfortable introducing paleface parents.If there are too many couples who want to adopt a baby why dont they adopt a baby from Africa?
ALOT of american couples travel all over the world adopting children of not there ethinic back ground. There are many national adopting programs that help americans adopt from ther country..Watch the discovery programs. Yeah some whant a white baby that is there prefrence but that is a small portion. You also have families that adopt kids who are in foster homes who's own parents abused or neglected.
Mostly the cost of overseas adoption is quite prohibitive. Tens of thousands of dollars, and that is the starting fee for the inexpensive countries. And the paperwork is a nightmare, and then the requirements to retrieve the child (especially if the parent must go and pick him/her up). I don't believe for the majority that they are looking at race issues, but rather at the cost and hindrances established by governments.
No, I find that freedom of choice
This answer is simple. African children are BLACK. And I believe most WHITES would not want one.
I don't need to go into detail. We still have a long way to go on this issue. Personally to me people are people. Some good some bad. I would think that the religious right would be helping children of all nationalities, but I have yet to see this.
Remember the sermon on the mount?
I find that very ironic.
Most people that adopt seem to adopt Asian babies, unless I'm mistaken, they seem to be the babies of choice.
And as for the African babies, I would only appreciate people adopting them if they themselves were black. This is why IF i get married and IF i have kids I would want to adopt one from Africa or at the least an African American baby. I think they suffer too much for just being born Black in the world.
No, but they should think about their country first. My opinion only.
I find it hypocritical for you to ask this question as if you care and as if you're not prejudiced yourself, and in the same breath refer to white babies as if they're the only beautiful babies!
are you trying to say sarcastic?...your reference to white babies in exception still doesn't make any sense to me
You don`t `force` people to adopt what they do not want,do u?
Well those African babies would not be starving to death if the 'parents' were more responsible........let's see......If you can't feed yourself, you have NO business being pregnant!

Train A has a mass 4500kg successfully couples with Train b which has a mass of 7500kg. Train A is moving at?
6.0 m/s before the collision and Train B is initially at rest. What is the final velocity of the coupled trains? What is the initial KE of the system? Final KE of the coupled train? How much KE is lost? What fraction of initial KE is lost?Train A has a mass 4500kg successfully couples with Train b which has a mass of 7500kg. Train A is moving at?
MaVo+MbVo=Vf(Ma+Mb) Try that.
KE=1/2mv^2 Final KE
Ma Mass of Object A
Mb Mass of Object B
Vo Initial Velocity of the relative train
Vf Final velocity
KE kinetic energy
Solve.Train A has a mass 4500kg successfully couples with Train b which has a mass of 7500kg. Train A is moving at?
Since the two objects are joined together after the collision, this is a ';perfectly inelastic'; collision, so total momentum will be conserved, but total kinetic energy won't.
First, figure out the total initial kinetic energy and momentum
Train A has 4500kg * 6 m/s of momentum, or 27000 kg-m/s
Train A has 1/2 * 4500kg * (6 m/s)^2 of kinetic energy, or 81000 J
Train B initially has no momentum or kinetic energy, since it's not moving.
The final momentum of the two joined trains will still be 27000 kg-m/s, so divide that by their total mass to get the final velocity:
27000/(4500+7500) = 2.25 m/s
The final kinetic energy of the joined trains is:
1/2 * (4500+7500) * (2.25)^2 = 30375 J
So you've lost (81000J-30375J) of kinetic energy, or 50625J.
50625J is 62.5% of 81000J, so you've lost 62.5% of the initial kinetic energy.zits
