(for the married couples) How long have you been married??
Would you do it all over again if you had a second chance?(for the married couples) How long have you been married??
Yes I would , something different though , I my be going threw a divorce after 13ysr and 3 children now that she is in rehab . I am a non user . A little ironic .(for the married couples) How long have you been married??
will be 19 years this march and yes,would change very little things second time though
I've been married about a year and a half. Of course I would do it again. We have such a great life, and we had wanted to get married for so long.
IF I did it over, however, I would have told my stupid hair stylist to take my hair down and start over. I didn't like my hairdo from the minute she did it, but I was too overwhelmed to say anything about it. I think I looked like Dolly Madison. Also, I would never have registered for a blender. :)
32 years and still going.
If I had the same bottle of vodka, you bet your **** I would!!!
16 years. I hold no regrets, I would do it over and over again!
15 years, no kids. Yes, I would do it all over again! (to the same person, I mean)
Marriage is fabulous.
I'd do it again in a heartbeat....it was the best decision besides waiting 9 years before having our daughter that I ever made.
We've been married 32 years.
22 years. we have had our fair share of problems but, yes i would marry him all over again.
married for 3 years and yes i would do i again in a heartbeat....if i had a second chance and a third and on.
We've been married 8 1/2 years and have three kids. I would do it over again and again and again and again and again.
3 years and no! I love my husband and I would never leave him, but if i could do it over again I would be single and party alot more than I have. Marriage makes you more of home body..and that sucks after awhile
6 years. I like to think I would.
almost a year. but it was a rocky rocky start. would i do it all over again. in a heartbeat!
My parents have been married 20 years, my mother says she is certain that was her fate....something that was decided by God. Would she do it all over again? Yes, if that is what God wants.
11.5 years!! I would do it again with no hesitation. He is truly my soul mate...And, he still makes me want to do it over, and over, and over.......
30 years. I would do a lot of things differently if I could go back in time with all of the knowledge I have now about life. The one thing I wouldn't change is marrying my husband. Believe me we've had some really bad times over the years, but he is not only the best husband a woman could ask for, he is my best friend and the best person I've ever known. He is my sanity, my strength, my happiness. And just so you know I'm not crazy, I do want to kill him at least once a day. He can make me so frustrated that I want to drop a house on his head!
So, again, I would do so many things differently in my life, in my marriage, in my education, in my timing. But regardless of those changes, without him none of them would matter.
24 years and I believe I would do it over again.
Married 5 1/2yrs togeather 9yrs. Idk if i would do it all over again...atm my husband and i just recently got back togeather from being seperated so were trying to work on out marrige. Sometimes i feel like i would not do it over only because of the hurt i been through due to being married to him...but we have had good time and i have grown as a person just being married to him and on my own thats when i feel like i would do it again.face mask

Looking for a couples holiday?
I want to surprise my misses with a 3 day holiday to Spain for her birthday. I've managed to find a flight for about 150 quid for the both of us, is that good? I'm having trouble with the hotel, can anyone suggest me places in Spain that would suit a couple, nice beach, restaurants, bars and pubs rather than nightclubs! I would be flying to Barcelona Gerona, would another airport be better? What price will I looking at? Can be own catered, bed and breakfast or even half board.Looking for a couples holiday?

4 the married couples only : which ring goes on 1st the flat one or the 1 with the stone?
wedding band on first then the engagement ring.... the wedding band is supposed to be closest to your heart.4 the married couples only : which ring goes on 1st the flat one or the 1 with the stone?
Traditionally it's the wedding band first, for a couple of reasons. One, it's supposed to be closer to your heart (although I think that's a little corny). Two, the tradition of the engagement ring is sort of a recent development. The diamond solitaire is a marketing thing by De Beers from the 1930s, so there's no tradition to having it be on the inside.
But think of something else, that I didn't realize until my mother nearly lost her engagement ring; the ';big stone'; ring is probably more expensive to replace than the wedding band. If there's any chance of the outside ring getting lost (and yes, even if you're careful, it can happen), then you've got to protect the larger investment. It's just good economic sense.4 the married couples only : which ring goes on 1st the flat one or the 1 with the stone?
hmmmmmm...things are done differently here compared to what everyone else is saying. the beautiful ring with the huge diamonds is the engagement ring and goes on first during proposal...then when planning the wedding the bride picks out her wedding band ...a simple plain band which is what the groom puts on her finger during the wedding or gets an engagement ring setting to compliment the ring itself.
You would wear your engagement ring on your right hand so that at the ceremony, the wedding band is placed on the ring finger and then after the ceremony, you transfer the engagement ring AFTER the wedding band.
Doesn't matter, whatever you think looks better or what you believe. I did my engagement ring first then the band because that's the order the events took place and the way they look better.
Your wedding band (usually the flat one thought they can have stones) goes on first - closest to the heart. Next comes the engagement ring - the one with the larger diamond.
I was told the engagement ring first and the wedding band second, because the wedding band seals the deal
the band goes on first . Then the ring with the stone goes on usualllly ;
The flat one known as the wedding band goes on first this way it is ';closest to your heart.';

Why are lesbian couples less frowned upon then two gay guys?
cause i am gay and was wonderingWhy are lesbian couples less frowned upon then two gay guys?
I feel it is because there is such a huge phobia of male-male sex and relationships that has been around and in the media and religion for so long vs. the idea of lesbianism as a turn on for straight men (which paints lesbian couples in a more positive and acceptable light)
Leaving gay men near the bottom of the popularity list. Although because of tv shows and romantic comedies popularizing the gay bff, views have significantly improved concerning gay men. Even though feeding the stereotype that all gay men are frivolous queers giddy for a makeover. :/
It all comes down to society and culture and how things have been presented by various *ahem* partiesWhy are lesbian couples less frowned upon then two gay guys?
I honestly don't know. We humans are a silly lot.face mask

Any bi sexual couples out there?
When me and my gf were together we used to talk about gays, lesbians, trans, etc.. and we both shared the same ideas. She feels that if she met a hot chick that was interested, she'd do her. She believes in gay rights and she's really into homosexuals, she thinks that guy on guy is hot. That got me to open up and tell her that I'm bi, so we were like a bi/bi curious couple. Any other people out there who experienced this in a relationship?Any bi sexual couples out there?
My fiance and I are both bisexual, though we knew the other was bisexual before we began dating. Now 5 years later we are still together and very happy.Any bi sexual couples out there?

Do most couples really look alike or similar enough?
I took a psychology course years ago %26amp; one of the things I learned was that couples often choose a partner who is facially similar looking to themselves.
Is this so in your experience?
if you look at your wife or husband (or whatever) do you see this in action.?Do most couples really look alike or similar enough?
Ha! Ha! I've noticed this in a few couples I have known. In two of the couples, the husband and wife were so similar in appearance that they looked like brother and sister!
Although...my fiance and I don't really have that many similarities in appearance other than a long nose...Do most couples really look alike or similar enough?
We look nothing alike. He's tall and thin, I'm short and curvey. He's blond, I have dark hair. He has blue eyes, I have brown. He dresses extremely well, I'm more casual. I have long hair, he has a buzz cut. I look Italian, he looks Irish. I don't think we have anything physical that is similar.
Hmm, well once I was out with my partner and his family and someone thought I was his sister!
We don't look a lot alike although we both have dark hair and brown eyes.
some do, some, don't - can't generalise
I guess this is true with me and all my boyfriends and now husband, however I do not see it.
in my experience this is true, people always think we are siblings.

I heard couples who have winter weddings as apposed to summer weddings have longer marriages..is this true?
That's silly - don't let superstition get involved in your marriage. It's about two people and their compatibility. Bad marriages happen in the Winter and Summer - GREAT marrianges happen in the Winter and Summer. But hey, if it really bothers you, get married in the Fall or Spring!!I heard couples who have winter weddings as apposed to summer weddings have longer marriages..is this true?
It's just a myth:
In choosing a month to get married there is always folklore, myth and tradition to guide you.
JANUARY : Marry when the year is new, he will be loving, kind and true.
FEBRUARY : When February birds do mate, you wed nor dread your fate.
MARCH : If you wed when March winds blow, joy and sorrow both you will know.
APRIL : Marry in April if you can, joy for maiden and for man.
MAY : Marry in the month of May, you will surely rue the day.
JUNE : Marry when June roses grow and over land and sea you will go.
JULY : Those who in July do wed must labor for their daily bread.
AUGUST : Whoever wed in August be, many a change is sure to see.
SEPTEMBER : Marry in Septembers shrine so that your life is rich and fine.
OCTOBER : If in October you do marry, love will come but riches tarry.
NOVEMBER : If you wed in bleak November, only joys will come, remember.
DECEMBER : When December snows fall fast, marry, and your love will last.I heard couples who have winter weddings as apposed to summer weddings have longer marriages..is this true?
i never heard that....my thought is winter summer fall or spring u should try as hard as u can to make it work no matter what marriage isn't something that is easy u have to work at it and u both must do ur best
It's the people in the relationship, not the season. How would getting married during a certain season dictate the strength of a relationship?
Marriage lasts because two people are dedicated to each other and the love the share. When, how, where, etc does not change that.
I doubt it a good marriage will last longer if there is communication, respect and trust. It doesn't matter what season someone gets married in.
I don't think so. Season has nothing to do with it....
I've never heard that, but I hope it's true, my anniversary is December 4th.
summer love!
no, is not true.
No.
my brother was married in Feb.
He was married 9 months.
snow or sunshine has nothing to do with love and respect has it ?

Why do couples fight alot?
I thought that relationships are suposed to be love and roses but its not that. There are times when I just have a nice time with her and there are times when we argue like cats and dogs.Why do couples fight alot?
For a very long time its been love and roses. For a very long time we haven't fought. Its as simple as, there is nothing to fight about.
We always have a great time together, Were always laughing or having fun. Even with something as mundane as cooking dinner. We joke and dance and play with our 2 kids. We rough house, we do whatever but its a lot of fun.
Why do we need to fight to have a healthy relationship? Why do we need to argue to be considered normal? What is normal? My normal is having a house that is full of love, laughter and happiness. My normal is getting along extremely well with my husband. My normal is having great days/evenings with the people that I love the most.
Is there anything wrong with that?
Oh and we just had a baby 4 weeks ago..so isn't this suppose to be one of the hardest times in a marriage?
Depends on who your asking.Why do couples fight alot?
I hear that marriage is like an amusement park:
The rides last 1 minute, but the lines last an hour.
Enjoy the ride!
Its normal鈥?I mean if it was fine and dandy the WHOLE TIME it would honestly become boring and dull. Discussions or arguments are very healthy, just as long as there is no disrespect or abuse. Its normal and great to have discrepancies, at the end it pulls you more closer together as one and understands how the other is and can鈥檛 leave out the make up s e x ! that鈥檚 always nice
Because the man is always right and the woman can't deal with it, so she starts an argument.
';...love and roses...';? Really? All relationships have ups and downs. You've been watching too many Walt Disney movies.
its just there because its not always going to be perfect times
buit dont leave the good times behind just because bad times came
good luck :)

Do U think because of hard economic times, this would be the Ultimate Test of Times for Married Couples?
financial-wise. Thank everyone.Do U think because of hard economic times, this would be the Ultimate Test of Times for Married Couples?
Our financial problems are affecting our lives and our temper, emotions and patience. However, it doesn't affect our marriage directly. We are strong together to deal with these issues even though we have been arguing a lot lately.
We have been through worse and we will get through this too. It's been hard because he's been without a job for several months and we been approved for the Fuel Assistance Program and I can't even pay our electricity bill or fuel bill.
He is trying everything to find a job. His truck just broke down and I have to pay for all of these things. We do not have cable or internet at home, just the basics.Do U think because of hard economic times, this would be the Ultimate Test of Times for Married Couples?
It is true that finances are what couples fight about the most, but even ';rich'; married couples don't make it. That old saying where money can't buy happiness is true and in fact, I would thing that the tough times could even bring the couples closer together. But I guess it is all comes down to just how truly committed to one another they are. So to answer your question, to the weakly committed, yes this will be the ultimate test. But for the very committed, this is just another bump in the road of life.
I think it will definately be a factor. People will be scared, worried, edgy and their partners will have to be more understanding and patient. Budgets will have to be trimmed which requires mutual planning, retirement accounts might be plummeting which may require some attention, some people may be refinancing homes or buying properties due to the low prices and interest rates. All of these are stressful.
For the spoiled ones I do. I also think it's going to be hard on the kids and teenagers out there because their used to their parents buying everything for them instead of telling them to get up off their *** and get a job and earn what they want to buy!!!!!!!!! So ya I think it will be tough for those types of people. I say TOO BAD for them!!!! Learn to go without. It's really not that hard.
Myself and my husband work in the auto industry, as of today...we both still have jobs. Who knows about tomorrow. The way we look at it is this....first, we never got into card card debt, so we don't have to worry about that, we have always acted our ';WAGE'; (thank you Dave Ramsey) and if it comes down to it....it is just stuff...sell it all and get new - bigger - better next time.
I have a spouse that loves me, our children are healthy, and I am alive.
You either have it or you don't, but I have a husband that I love to death and two children I would give my life for. THOSE can not be replace....but all the other stuff can.
There's always hard economic times for most couples, it's the #1 cause of divorce, credit card debt, bankruptcy, it's just business as usual right now.
it does affect it a little, but if your love and relationship are big enough then you should be together eventough hard times are here.
It doesn't help any. But if you have a strong foundation you can get through most hard times.
Its a test even for those who are single and struggling with children
Our financial problems are affecting our lives and our temper, emotions and patience. However, it doesn't affect our marriage directly. We are strong together to deal with these issues even though we have been arguing a lot lately.
We have been through worse and we will get through this too. It's been hard because he's been without a job for several months and we been approved for the Fuel Assistance Program and I can't even pay our electricity bill or fuel bill.
He is trying everything to find a job. His truck just broke down and I have to pay for all of these things. We do not have cable or internet at home, just the basics.Do U think because of hard economic times, this would be the Ultimate Test of Times for Married Couples?
It is true that finances are what couples fight about the most, but even ';rich'; married couples don't make it. That old saying where money can't buy happiness is true and in fact, I would thing that the tough times could even bring the couples closer together. But I guess it is all comes down to just how truly committed to one another they are. So to answer your question, to the weakly committed, yes this will be the ultimate test. But for the very committed, this is just another bump in the road of life.
I think it will definately be a factor. People will be scared, worried, edgy and their partners will have to be more understanding and patient. Budgets will have to be trimmed which requires mutual planning, retirement accounts might be plummeting which may require some attention, some people may be refinancing homes or buying properties due to the low prices and interest rates. All of these are stressful.
For the spoiled ones I do. I also think it's going to be hard on the kids and teenagers out there because their used to their parents buying everything for them instead of telling them to get up off their *** and get a job and earn what they want to buy!!!!!!!!! So ya I think it will be tough for those types of people. I say TOO BAD for them!!!! Learn to go without. It's really not that hard.

Why are couples favored taxwise?
Why do taxes privilege unions of two people (usually married, but also straight or gay de-facto couple nowadays)? Do you think ';progress'; will bring favor to other kinds of multiple unions for ';affectionate'; purpose, such as threesomes, etc? Especially now that the concept of ';couple'; is getting more and more devoid of its purpose of creating a ';family'; with biological children for the proliferation of the human species?Why are couples favored taxwise?
Because they form a society
Societies are ';better'; for tax purposes.face mask

Should gay couples be allowed to have children?
i think no because the child will get bullied etc. what do you think?Should gay couples be allowed to have children?
Why shouldnt they be allowed to have children. The child will be loved and cherished just as much as a hetrosexual couple would.Should gay couples be allowed to have children?
yes they should, children get bullied for a lot of reasons, so that's no excuse not to let gay couples have kids. they can make the best parents.
I wonder sometimes if some heterosexuals should be allowed to have children
yes they should!!!! and no they might not!!! but i don't think they will it all depends
Why not.
Are they bullied more than any other child? No.
.
Of course they should.
Bullying as reasoning? So you shouldn't buy a car because you'll just wreck it or it will be stolen is ridiculous and even more so when similar thinking is used when considering children.
Simply because others can't teach their children to behave as though they are civilized is no reason that someone else shouldn't have a child should they desire to do so.
Actual studies have shown that same-sex parents raise children that are just as well-adjusted as those raised by heterosexual parents.
The thing is in this day and age its more likely (within young children groups) that the bully would be shut down. Majority of parents now teach theyre children to be open minded and accepting of other people so bullying would be no more of a problem then it would for every child going through school. I have a couple who live behind me who are freaks they dress they're little boy in girls clothes they say its his chose but puh lease thats opening him up to bullying (they're lesbians) On a different note my best friend is gay and her and her partner are in my will to recieve full custody of my daughter in case of my death. They already have a little girl and they are the best parents out. They love their daughter and shes well adjusted lovely little girl. I think if gay people shouldn't be allowed to have kids then straight people should be monitered too. I worked in the community service field and saw some really messed up cases of child abuse. All caused by dual parent families.
Yes, I think so.
yes.
Well my parents were straight and I was bullied at school.
But there is nothing wrong with me I still turned out a normal gay lad. So yes if it means that the child will be loved and cared for, instead of being in some orphanage and not having a real chance in life that kids with parents have.
The Netherlands did it and they're doing just fine.
Why not? You don't seriously think that all the children bullied in schools have gay parents do you??
Children as we know can be very curel but having gay parents is nothing to be ashamed of. The priority is the child, if the child is well loved and looked after then I don't see a problem.
Sometimes I look at some straight couples and how they treat their children and I think all this bother of gays bringing up children when straights can't even do a good job.
Yes. There's no permission from anybody needed, thankyou.
Good luck! Rob
I think that they should have that right given that their home is a stable and a loving one. Children are always finding various reasons for bullying other children in spite of their parents being gay. As long as the home is one of love, honor, and trust. There are so many children in the world today who needs fit parents. If couples meet the criteria for adoption, why not?
THEY ARE JUST AS LOVING AS SO CALLED ';STRAIGHTS'; SOME WHO ABUSE KILL AND MISTREAT THEIR CHILDEN - THE LITTLE ONES NEED LOVE AND LOTS OF IT - IT DOESN'T BLOODY MATTER FROM WHO - THEY NEED LOVE AND LOTS AND LOTS OF CARE AND SUPPORT!!!!
If that's the case then no interracial couples should have children, no poor couples should have children, no older couples should have children, no couples who are ugly should have children, no couples who are movie stars should have children, in fact, NO ONE should have children! There is always going to be a reason why children will bully other children, and the parents' sexual orientation doesn't have any more to do with it than anything else.
I think yes because a child will be bullied anyway for any number of reasons.
no.
the disadvantages outweigh the benefits.
I think a child will get bullied no matter what. It's how they deal with the bullying that makes them or breaks them. For example if you get your child karate lessons, chances are no bully will bother with them. If you fill your child with inner strength then the child will be able to repel any verbal bullying. And if you make a child that knows themself, and accepts that fully, and is good and kind, then the world will be on their side, regardless of their parents.
And seriously, how are you going to enforce this? Abortions for gays?
GLBT parents are no worse than regular parents. We don't change our children magically. They grow up as normal as any other. Here's a link for you that backs up my points.
http://www.apa.org/pi/lgbc/publications/鈥?/a>
Just because I am gay, does not mean you can infer anything about my personality. The only thing it tells you is I'm attracted to men, nothing more. It doesn't magically define me, or define my parenting skills.
Lots of heterosexual people in the world treat their kids like crap, their kids get bullied, heck some get bullied to the point of suicide, but we don't blame them for being heterosexual.
Focus on how to parent, not the circumstances of that parent. I can raise a child just as well as any heterosexual, I can love them just the same, and they can grow up just as healthy. My sexuality doesn't define my parenting ability at all.
why not?just because the parents are gay doesnt make them bad people,or bad parents.I think a child raised by gay or lesbian parents will actually grow up to become better people because they will be more open minded
Please refer to other hundred million times it has been asked!
Of course they should and there would be no shortage of children for them to adopt, if someone would just gather up all the kids that are being abused, ignored and starved by heterosexual 2 gender parents.
The only way they may be bullied is by the offspring of homophobic parents who have taught them to hate. I often think that when hate crimes and bullying are committed against gays by other kids, the parents of the guilty offenders should be charged as well as the offenders, for passing on their homophobic values.
no. the world is so f/cked up right now to the point people do what they wanna anyway. even if GOD doesn't allow it. so gay people live ur damn life, but in the end.....u'll see.
yes i think so
Yes. And people who say that a child should be raised in a straight family should realize that the great majority of gays were raised in a straight family.
It would be nice if all children could be raised so that they have two different gender models, but with the huge number of single mothers/fathers out there, that doesn't even happen with straights, so why restrict a couple who happen to be of the same sex. And many long time studies have shown that children raised in gay families don't have any more problems than children raised by straights.
I am not gay and don't have a problem with those who are, each to their own !!
But every child has a right to a good upbringing and I know a lot of married couples who should have their children taken off them and put into care.
What I am saying is you don't have to be rich to be a good parent, you could live hand to mouth and whether you be straight single gay or what ever else there is to be, all children should have a stable home and be well cared for and loved, and i know that gay couples are just as capable of providing that as any straight couple.
Well this is an important question because sometimes i say to myself that I have absolutely nothing against anyone and believe in equality for all, regardless of race, sex, religion, etc. However, when it comes to bringing up children, I value family values. A child, I believe, needs a mother and a father. A stable relationship is never a foregone conclusion. But a child needs both a mother and father relationship. It is hard enough explaining to children where they come from in loving heterosexual relationships. But to try and explain this to children in same sex relationships must be not only difficult for the child concerned, but also for the lesbians/homosexuals who are trying to bring up that child to the best of their ability.
And then i come to think that Gay people, heterosexual people, anyone should be allowed to adopt. It is not, in my regard, a question of sexual orientation, but rather a question of education. Some people have it, some don't. As long as the people interested have the means and the financial/emotional stability to be able to support for a child, then yes, they should be allowed to adopt. Too many innocent children are suffering simply because some people are unable to look beyond their narrow minded vision of the world.
I think no. But I think no because nature shows us that for a normal, proper up-bringing a child needs both a mother figure and a father figure. This couldn't happen in a gay relationship. I would feel cheated and really upset if my parent had a gay partner instead of a parent of the opposite sex.
PS: I'm not Christian so nobody here can say I'm a Bible-nut with a vendetta against gays.
its not just the bullying thing, you have to think in terms of norms and values. fair enough they can be taught values but the norm for the children will always be same sex parents, and anything other then becomes wierd to them. the defence is that gays are human beings with rights and that is correct but having a child isnt a right and they sort of forfiet it i think if you get with someone who cant bear a child with you naturally.
No, the world is messed up enough as it is.
no it is morally,corrupt wrong,oh by they male and female are needed to procreate
Why shouldnt they be allowed to have children. The child will be loved and cherished just as much as a hetrosexual couple would.Should gay couples be allowed to have children?

Why Do Couples Yearn For A Baby?
I am sorry but I just do not get it...
Is not raising them so expensive and time-consuming and energy-consuming?
We live only once! So why should we still be a volunteer?
Or a Saint?
When we could have ALL the money and time and comforts and freedom for OURSELVES?
Thanks for trying to enlighten me. I am just curious...Why Do Couples Yearn For A Baby?
not everyone yearns for a baby - some couples never have children and are fine with that. My husbands parents have friends that never had children and that's they way they wanted it. When my in-laws were spending money on school and clothes for their kids their friends were buying boats and going on great vacations. Its a choice, kids are really expensive and your whole life basically revolves around them and what they want but i wouldn't give this life up for any amount of money..... people that choose not to have kids are not selfish, they just know they dont want kids, and that is fine. The people that are selfish are the ones who DO have the children but act as if they are an inconvenience.Why Do Couples Yearn For A Baby?
Children are the most important thing in a marriage, not saying all but most, everyone has a right to their own opinion and the way they want to live their lives. children are the thing that completes a couples life, it allows you to mould a child into a wonderful person and feel needed, loved and wanted. a family is the most wonderful thing in the world, and i apologize you dont feel that way, but i think people shouldnt need to justify to you or anyone why they want children and what is the need.
What use is money? You can't take it with you, and it will be spent before it can change the world.
Children however, are a delight and when you have them, you don't want the time, money and freedom anymore, because they are so important, and worth sacrificing it all for.
It's a natural drive aswell. I grew up knowing I didn;t want children, but now that I have a two year old, I want another- it;s the hormones!
EDIT: I'm not surprised that your mom is in a bad mood- look at how you come across- you seem very spoiled and self centered. How about being nicer to your parents and letting them know that you appreciate all the things they do for you.
Couples yearn for a baby because being a parent is the most amazing thing anyone can experience. The love you feel for child is stronger than any type of love you can have for anyone/anything else. I'd much rather live off of only $50,000 a year and have my wonderful daughter brighten my day every single day then make over $100,000 a year. I also wouldn't call it ';volunteering';. I get paid in hugs and kisses from my 2 year old every day and they are worth more than anything. Yeah they don't pay the bills but it gives you (or in my case my Husband) a real reason to go to work every day. I guess some people just don't have the heart to be a parent.
because they want that bond together to have each other forever duhhh
Because some people don't feel complete without a child. It's natural instinct to have kids, it's in our genetic make up!
And most people aren't so selfish that they feel they need EVERYTHING to themselves.
When God created Perfect humans our purpose on the earth was to be fruitful and subdue the earth. So we still have that in our hearts even though we are imperfect and the world around us is falling apart.
they want thier names 2 live on and 2 have a big family
Here's my reasons. First of all, I feel that there's something ingrained in us to keep the human race going. Secondly, it's an extension of our love. Thirdly, all the money, time, comforts, freedoms etc in the world don't compare to the absolute love and joy that come from having a child. My son fulfills me and completes my husband and I. We look forward to having more children and I don't even care about the sacrifices I have to make to my materialistic, humanistic side. It's SO worth it. But, hey, that's just me. :)
I believe that everyone is different. Some people would rather not have children and those who do, and those who didn't mean to have them.
Nothing wrong with not having them and spending your hard earned money on yourself.
I think sometimes people can't get pregant and that makes want to have one even more. There are several children who need loving homes but yet people still go and buy babies from other countries or pay thousands to try procedures that don't always work. Foster parents are wonderful people with big hearts.
I guess truthfully it is b/c you get bored. I really love my husband a lot, we do many fun things, and we are great friends, but eventually you sort of run out of things to say (and I can talk for HOURS about nothing).
You want to feel needed, and while kids can be a pain, they can also be amusing, entertaining, and a lot of fun. I had my freedom for 13 years now and it is actually pretty boring. I have been the places I wanted to go, met the people I wanted to meet, and am looking for a new challenge.
Even when couples get older and don't have kids they still end up looking for new ways to be fulfilled. Some people have kids, some people get involved in causes, but either way, once the fun and thrill of being independent and free has worn off, most people want to feel needed. If you love someone and you have longed to have them in your life, them needing you makes you feel good. Unfortunately, I think many couples have kids before they are ready. Sometimes if you get something easily, you never appreciate it fully and wonder what might have been. Maybe this was the case with your parents.
Hope this gives you some insight into what we are thinking. It is an interesting question.
well the girl get pregnant just to keep a man!!!! And the boys just want children......well men don't expect to have children!!! It just happens!!! Then the woman know that she has him cause she has his baby!!!! I'm 13 and i know cause i have a 15 years old boyfriend with so-called twins!!!!
To have part of both parents into one child. All that love in that marriage finally expresses itself into that newborn body. To pass down memories and experiences so that they can live a successful, fulfilling life. A child is a miracle no matter who the parents are or how it was conceived. To start a family. In the family there is love and support for one another. Some people choose not to have kids and thats perfectly fine but i highly doubt its because they want all the money to themselves. To have a child is a decision that is important. Some people to have a child others don't. It usually depends on how the person was raised and how comfortable they are in their marriage.
Is not raising them so expensive and time-consuming and energy-consuming?

Thirdly, all the money, time, comforts, freedoms etc in the world don't compare to the absolute love and joy that come from having a child. My son fulfills me and completes my husband and I. We look forward to having more children and I don't even care about the sacrifices I have to make to my materialistic, humanistic side. It's SO worth it. But, hey, that's just me. :)
I believe that everyone is different. Some people would rather not have children and those who do, and those who didn't mean to have them.
Nothing wrong with not having them and spending your hard earned money on yourself.
I think sometimes people can't get pregant and that makes want to have one even more. There are several children who need loving homes but yet people still go and buy babies from other countries or pay thousands to try procedures that don't always work. Foster parents are wonderful people with big hearts.
I guess truthfully it is b/c you get bored. I really love my husband a lot, we do many fun things, and we are great friends, but eventually you sort of run out of things to say (and I can talk for HOURS about nothing).
You want to feel needed, and while kids can be a pain, they can also be amusing, entertaining, and a lot of fun. I had my freedom for 13 years now and it is actually pretty boring. I have been the places I wanted to go, met the people I wanted to meet, and am looking for a new challenge.
Even when couples get older and don't have kids they still end up looking for new ways to be fulfilled. Some people have kids, some people get involved in causes, but either way, once the fun and thrill of being independent and free has worn off, most people want to feel needed. If you love someone and you have longed to have them in your life, them needing you makes you feel good. Unfortunately, I think many couples have kids before they are ready. Sometimes if you get something easily, you never appreciate it fully and wonder what might have been. Maybe this was the case with your parents.
Hope this gives you some insight into what we are thinking. It is an interesting question.
well the girl get pregnant just to keep a man!!!! And the boys just want children......well men don't expect to have children!!! It just happens!!! Then the woman know that she has him cause she has his baby!!!! I'm 13 and i know cause i have a 15 years old boyfriend with so-called twins!!!!
To have part of both parents into one child. All that love in that marriage finally expresses itself into that newborn body. To pass down memories and experiences so that they can live a successful, fulfilling life. A child is a miracle no matter who the parents are or how it was conceived. To start a family. In the family there is love and support for one another. Some people choose not to have kids and thats perfectly fine but i highly doubt its because they want all the money to themselves. To have a child is a decision that is important. Some people to have a child others don't. It usually depends on how the person was raised and how comfortable they are in their marriage.
Poll: Married couples with kids do you have any?
stories of your little ones ruining the ';mood'; stories? When my son was about 2 on a summer saturday afternoon we put him down for a nap. He asked Mom can I sleep without my shirt I am hot. Mom said of course. After a bit the wife and I got romantic on our bed. My son walks in and standing at the foot of the bed said the following. ';Mommy are you taking a nap without your shirt just like me?';
Ruined the mood but still such a cute story! Its sweet.

Should GAY couples be allowed to parent children?
I personally think it should be classed as a form of child abuse, since they will fill their kids mind with rubbish and wantr him/her to be like themShould GAY couples be allowed to parent children?
A couple, both of whom are the same gender, raising, loving a supporting children should be classified as child abuse along with a couple of opposite genders who neglect their children, physically and emotionally abuse them, and are constantly drunk and/or high around the children whey they are around the children?
How can you judge what you do not know?
One might say that your narrow-minded judgmental comments that you pass on to your children is filling THEIR heads with rubbish and want him/her to be like them.Should GAY couples be allowed to parent children?
Yes they should be allowed to parent children... Better to have gay parents then no parents.
My lesbian neighbor is a wonderful mother to her 13 year old daughter. She devotes all her time to her daughter.
My parents are straight and I'm straight as well, but I'm gonna say, YES, it should be fine for gays to parent a child. I don't think any parent that loves their child expects for their child to be just like them. They want the best for their child whether they turn out to be heterosexual or homosexual. The child will probably grow up to be an even better person than you or I. They will be free from discriminating against someone because of race, sexual orientation. They'll most likely be open minded to the rest of society and understand that we're all human but very different in so many ways from each other. If everyone was the same, this would be a boring world.
are you stuck in the 1920s??? open your eyes and see the world for what it is and realise not everyone has such a shallow and narrow mind as you and the next generation of children will be familiar with the fact that gay and lesbian people are now free to live as they please and how they were born. thats not to say gays werent around years ago, they were just not free to live how they want
YOU STUPID IGNORANT TOSSER
Why would they fill their children's minds with rubbish? It is people like you that fill their child's minds with rubbish and prejudice.
I have personally known 3 different gay couples who all had children. Two of those three were better parents than ANY mother/father couple I have met!
I did daycare for 16 yrs and in that time these two families were my best! They were more devoted to their children than most.
Don't base your facts on opinions. There are many children living in father/mother homes who's needs are NEVER met!
Also it is children who come from parents like you who are cruel and mean to other children from different families.
Your opinion sicken's me.
no!
Yes. I dont care what you sexual orientation is as long as you are a good parent. Ive heard of far more cases of abuse from straight parents than from homosexual parents.
I personally believe and know of children that can grow up just fine in a homosexual house hold. Teaching their children that it's ok to be hetero or homosexual is ok and that not all people are like them. If you raises your children to understand that everyone in the world is different it will all turn out ok!
I think it depends on the parents as to whether their minds are filled with rubbish (whether they be gay parents or straight parents). I do not know any gay parents personally, but I do know straight parents who are not good parents. I do not think sexual preference affects parenting abilities.
I personally think ignorant people like you shouldn't be allowed to parent children.... but that's just my opinion. I know several gay couples that would make wonderful parents - much better than some of the heterosexual couples I know that do actually have children.
Of course, if they show that they are able to raise a child. Children grow up loving their parents because their parents loved them, not because of their gender or sexuality.
Personally, I'd rather have kids raised by a gay couple who can show love than have kids raised by ignorant bigots like yourself.
i think gay people should b defanitly aloud to have kids. just cose ur gay dosnt make u a useless parent.get with the times.
OMG Ur an a$.$ it's not child abuse everyone deserves to be a mommy and daddy because so many people tried to make them different then they are and its discrimination i hope you never ever,ever be a dad and no one loves you because you will fill your kid with these things like gays can't be parents and deserve to be alone but anyone can be something
Well, I'm undecided on this matter. The christian in me says we are not to judge anyone.. however, that same christian in me says we're not supposed to be a homosexual. So I dunno..
However, the whole thing of you saying ';and want him/her to be like them.'; .. well thats just silly.. gay parents dont push their sexuality onto their kids.. As most parents.. they just want whats best for their kids.. Geez, stop stereotyping an entire group of ppl for just a few who may feel that way.
what a wonderful day for questions like that to be on here but short and sweet NO. I agree with you a 100%
I really want to say that it should be illegal for a gay couple to raise a kid. A gay couple is not as good as a mother and father(.) BUT, I think of all those poor little children who are orphaned or abandoned and it would be much better for them to be raised in a single household by two people who happened to be gay. I completely see your point though.
I think that gays should be allowed to be parents. A child having Gay parents will not turn their children gay, nor should it be considered a type of child abuse. It is not hurting the children if they have gay parents. My sister and my two brothers have a gay dad and it is their natural father and they have no problem with it nor are any of the gay or lesbian. This fact proves that having gay parents will not have any effect on the children.
I see no problem with that. Do you agree that a teenage parent would put the ideal of getting pregnant at such an young age into their child and that child will think it is OKAY?
gay people have the right to parent children and i don't think they fill their minds with rubbish. but i have to say i'd rather them not be able to adopt only!!! for the fact that a child needs a mother and a father. not a mommy trying to be a daddy, or a daddy trying to be a mommy. but who am i to say that a gay couple couldn't produce a loving a stable environment for a child. in fact they would probably do a better job than a husband and wife couple... i'm up in the air about this one. there needs to be good balance, it's not a black and white issue, there's tons of grey in it for me....
Absolutely they should be able to parent. I sure hope you never have children, poisoning their minds with such hatred and ignorance.
How is this worse than a divorced single parent who is in a divisive custody battle for those children with an ex spouse? Each trying to fill the kids heads with hatred for the other parent. Or when neither parent is competent enough and the child is put in a foster home? Which is where they would also end up the couple were considered abusive. Before you rail against something you don't understand, take a good look at what already exists and tell me we don't need an alternative. If two people are in a stable relationship, then that will make the process of raising a child easier on both of them. And on the children as well.

Adult Married couples in the community-Are you Happy in love or Just dealing with it?And Why?
Like any other couple, married or not, everyone has their days.
Some days I am in love with my husband. Other days, not so much.
There is NEVER a day when I wish I weren't married to him, but to say that we are in love 24/7 365 would be much of an exxageration.Adult Married couples in the community-Are you Happy in love or Just dealing with it?And Why?
Happily in love.He drives me crazy sometimes and I do the same to him, but I couldnt see myself with someone else. Hes my soulmate. But like the comment above, we cant stand to be together all the time. He hangs out with his friends, me with mine and sometimes we do things together.

Regarding couples that are Leo/Cancer matches--how is your relationship and how long have you been together?
I'm a Cancer, my ex is a Leo. Our relationship was great for a while. He doted on me, gave me everything I wanted, was very affectionate and generous. The trouble is that he got lost. He was so about making me happy all of the time that he didn't bother to get motivated and do for himself. He also had no backbone and this was an extreme turn-off. We were together five years, and I left because I realized that I didn't love him the way that I should have. Also, he was pretty immature and behaved like a teenager a lot of the time. Spent like he was royalty too---Cancer HATES that! Cancer and Leo can work out, but it takes work to bridge their differences.face mask

I don't agree with him. I am a white woman who has always dated black men. I was really offended when he said that white women would be uncomfortable dating a black man unles he bashed the black female. I have many black women friends and I admire their strength and power and I would be pissed if anyone bashed them in any way. I judge people by the merit of their character, not the color of their skin. ';So why date black men'; (I heard you). It is just a preference.

Should couples concidering divorce stay togeter for the sake of the children?
It would really help me if i had some religious view points on this, namely catholic.
Thanks.Should couples concidering divorce stay togeter for the sake of the children?
if people get on, but the love has gone, then they should see about an open marriage...
if things aren't good, they should split...Should couples concidering divorce stay togeter for the sake of the children?
hmmmmmmmm... tough answer here...
I'm in a situation that falls under this question... (minus the religion) My wife had a 3 year affair years back... we've gotten past it. But the love has definitely dwindled out... We both want what's best for our kids. But at the same time, we don't know what the better choice is???
My wife and I both came from Split families, and we wanted something different for our kids... to try and start something new again, a new era so to speak, the idea of not quiting or just giving up, like society has gotten so good at... I believe that people are to eager to just throw marriage away to quickly... I understand that if the 2 are fighting and yelling all the time, that's not good for anyone to be around. We don't have that... we're very civil, and try very hard for our kids sake... who knows, the day may come that we need to just finish it, but until that day, we'll keep trying for our kids, and each other...
I'm in the same situation. Pray. In the name of Jesus Christ! He cares.
You probably know that the Catholic Church does not recognize divorce. If the reason for seeking a divorce is physical abuse, sexual abuse, or drug use, or other issue that would jeopardize the health and well-being of the children, then a separation is advisable. Note that separation is distinct from a divorce. A separated couple, as far as the Catholic Church is concerned, are still married, but just not living together.
If the reason for wanting a divorce is due to one spouse's previous marriage (from which there was no divorce decree), a false identity (spouse is not the person claimed), mental illness (i.e., spouse did not have capacity to consent to marriage), spouse's criminal past of which the other spouse was not aware, spouse's communicable disease of which the other spouse was not aware, lack of consummation, or other reason that would legally prohibit the marriage, the Catholic Church would probably grant an anullment (again, this is not a divorce, but a way of stating that the marriage was invalid.)
Any other reason for wanting a divorce needs to be reconsidered. Infidelity or incompatibility, poverty, etc, are not reasons for separation or anullment.
So, to answer your question, should a couple stay together for the sake of the children? If there is a valid reason for separation (as outlined above) then the answer is NO. If there is a valid reason to grant an anullment, the answer is NO. All other reasons, so long as the couple can be civil and can love their children, then the answer is Yes.
Why make the kids suffer too? Kids are way smarter than we think, they will know something isn't wrong between their parents. Divorce isn't easy, but they will adjust, just like the husband and wife. I'd rather have my parents divorced than see them fight in front of me, etc. I'm Catholic, but don't practice, but the Catholic church doesn't allow divorce, right? But you can't always live by what the church wants. Do what is best for you, your husband and the children, even if it means divorce.
Never stay together for any
reason if you are not
getting along anymore.
What children see and hear
in a troubled relationship can
also be a bad affect.
I know that staying together for the sake of the children, hurt the children in the long run. You might want to check with your priest on this due to they don't believe in divorce. Good luck and may GOD bless.
Fizzle, regardless of your religion staying together for the sake of the children is selfish and wrong. Children are not stupid and they know when their parents are fighting and not getting along. Its not just words but its the feeling and vibes they get when the parents are in the same room. If for whatever reason two people no longer love each other and there is no hope for the marriage and counseling and prayer doesn't help then those 2 people should do whats best for the children and staying together and pretending by lying everyday gets pretty thin. You won't be able to pretend forever. I don't believe in divorce but not all marriages are perfect and just because 2 people decide to get married doesn't mean that God meant for them to be together. For better or For worse are words that are suppose to mean something not just lip services. God knows your heart and HE knows your situation. HE will forgive you. Children deserve to be happy too.
Catholicism states that divorce is wrong but a marriage can be annulled (need Vatican approval). That is an antiquated and ridiculous concept that hurts the children. Two people who do not want to remain together and who stay married are a bad influence on the kids.
no I dont believe they should stay together for the children, the only time I coudl see this happening is if both parents could actually get along,, most people I know fight in front of the kids, but want to stay together to keep their kids from being from broken homes, but I cant see how yelling, swearing and cussing at each other is a healthy enviroment for the kids,
No...irregardless of religion.
A child will be a happier child if he has happy parents that live apart rather than miserable parents that live together.
the catholic church doesn't believe in divorce..but it all depends on how happy or unhappy and the level of love you hve for each other. If you see yourself been able to stay because you love your spouse then i say seek counseling from a father or a therapist...if you are done with your spouse beyond return the by all means don't stay in a marriage because of your children. My mother did the same thing and i remember me begging her to leave my dad because i was sick and tired of them fighting everyday. She left two years ago and it affected her in a big way, i on the other hand as the child of the parent who stayed picked the bad habit of staying in a relationship just because tht's what i grew up knowing...but i had to stop and say no..so it does affect your children either way in the long run...think anr evaluate real hard for the sake of your children talk to your spouse about it if they are sensible enough..i hope all works out for you!!
NO. It makes the child's life even tougher, because they can sense the turmoil going on with the parents. Kids are more perceptive than we give them credit for. I was one of these kids, and it probably would have been less stressful if my parents got divorced.
marriage is supposed to be for life. However there are certain instances when divorce should be done. I would try to salvage the marriage, especially when kids are involved but if after counceling you still cant get along....then it might be best to get a divorce.
If there is no abuse, physical or substance, you might stay together temporarily for the kids sake if it would be best for them. If the situation is bearable for all parties. Until one or both parties is able to be on their own or in a different situation.
It has to be said that when people make the decision to have kids, they might have to do things they might not be totally happy with for awhile. The rule of ';whatever floats my boat'; is fine when you have no responsibilities, but when there are kids involved they deserve consideration for their best interests.
It has been a long time since I have had any experience with the Catholic religion but it always used to be, once you are married, that is the end of it until the lid is nailed down on someone's coffin.
It depends on why they are divorcing in the first place.
I don't think a marriage with total hate and misery, or worse, violence or addictions, should be held together for the kids.
That said, I think many marriages break up purely because people are unwilling to give, compromise, or care about anyone other than themselves.
People should take all reasonable steps to preserve their marriage. Boredom or loss of interest or lack of something is not an excuse for ruining children's lives.
NO do it because you still love each other. Yes you love your kids but why should you be with someone just for your kids, try to work thinks out with her go out to dinner start the dating thing again it all will be fine.
I'm christian and no well enough that the catholic church or any church for that matter is strongly against divorce unless it is for a strong valid reason. For instance if the husband is abusive, controlling, and when there are issues within the marriage that may be considered irreconcilable. I do believe that God wouldn't want any of his children to be unhappy in life and that includes being unhappy in marriage. If these are problems or issues of concern for you I do believe God would forgive and bless you for having the courage to stand-up for your happiness. It is never right to stay married just for the children because if you do then you will just take resentment out on the kids for having you stay in a dead marriage. It is better for you and the kids if you divorce because it will allow you to be a better mother and a happier parent.
God Bless and Good Luck.
That is a personal choice!
I am with my husband ONLY because of my children! There is no doubt in my mind that we wouldn't be together if we didn't have kids. It works for us! We don't fight, we can agree when it comes to decisions about the kids, but that is the extent of it.
Keep in mind, it is very difficult! There are days when I don't think I can do, but I always try to remember why I made the choice in the first place! In my opinion, we sacrifice everyday for our children....my personal happiness is just one of those sacrifices. My children deserve to be in a 2 parent house, and they deserve to have their dad in their lives full-time! I am an adult, and I feel like it is my responsibility to deal with my choices!!
Very few people on here will agree with me!! You are going to have to evaluate whether or not the situation you are in is healthy for your kids. Don't make it about you! Good luck! Whatever decision you make will be very difficult!!!
That, of course, would depend upon the ';grounds'; for the divorce. Children should not have to witness any kind of verbal or physical abuse between their parents.
The parents should make some serious decisions about why they need to separate, now that they have spawned children and complicated matters.
Those children deserve two loving parents.
As stated, I don't think the Catholic religion allows for divorce under any circumstances, based on the notion that ';what God has united let no man tear apart';. However, annulments are permitted.
From a practical standpoint, this is probably a good idea that may go too far. I think a lot of troubled marriages today may be redeemable, but since we are a people of quick fixes, we choose divorce rather than the long process of reconciliation. If children are involved, I think the idea of staying together and trying to resolve differences is a very noble goal. A couple should do everything in its power to remain together.
However, there may come a point and time where all of the effort has not worked, especially if there is abuse involved. Under these circumstances, it may be best for everyone involved (children included) to seek a divorce. It may be a sin from the Catholic viewpoint, but if it meant the difference between the happiness and well-being of my children, then so be it.
nonononononononononono. Kids are very perceptive and pick up on every little thing. They are better off with two parents that are seperate and contact than together and miserable.
Thanks.Should couples concidering divorce stay togeter for the sake of the children?
if people get on, but the love has gone, then they should see about an open marriage...
if things aren't good, they should split...Should couples concidering divorce stay togeter for the sake of the children?
hmmmmmmmm... tough answer here...
I'm in a situation that falls under this question... (minus the religion) My wife had a 3 year affair years back... we've gotten past it. But the love has definitely dwindled out... We both want what's best for our kids. But at the same time, we don't know what the better choice is???
My wife and I both came from Split families, and we wanted something different for our kids... to try and start something new again, a new era so to speak, the idea of not quiting or just giving up, like society has gotten so good at... I believe that people are to eager to just throw marriage away to quickly... I understand that if the 2 are fighting and yelling all the time, that's not good for anyone to be around. We don't have that... we're very civil, and try very hard for our kids sake... who knows, the day may come that we need to just finish it, but until that day, we'll keep trying for our kids, and each other...
I'm in the same situation. Pray. In the name of Jesus Christ! He cares.
You probably know that the Catholic Church does not recognize divorce. If the reason for seeking a divorce is physical abuse, sexual abuse, or drug use, or other issue that would jeopardize the health and well-being of the children, then a separation is advisable. Note that separation is distinct from a divorce. A separated couple, as far as the Catholic Church is concerned, are still married, but just not living together.
If the reason for wanting a divorce is due to one spouse's previous marriage (from which there was no divorce decree), a false identity (spouse is not the person claimed), mental illness (i.e., spouse did not have capacity to consent to marriage), spouse's criminal past of which the other spouse was not aware, spouse's communicable disease of which the other spouse was not aware, lack of consummation, or other reason that would legally prohibit the marriage, the Catholic Church would probably grant an anullment (again, this is not a divorce, but a way of stating that the marriage was invalid.)
Any other reason for wanting a divorce needs to be reconsidered. Infidelity or incompatibility, poverty, etc, are not reasons for separation or anullment.
So, to answer your question, should a couple stay together for the sake of the children? If there is a valid reason for separation (as outlined above) then the answer is NO. If there is a valid reason to grant an anullment, the answer is NO. All other reasons, so long as the couple can be civil and can love their children, then the answer is Yes.
Why make the kids suffer too? Kids are way smarter than we think, they will know something isn't wrong between their parents. Divorce isn't easy, but they will adjust, just like the husband and wife. I'd rather have my parents divorced than see them fight in front of me, etc. I'm Catholic, but don't practice, but the Catholic church doesn't allow divorce, right? But you can't always live by what the church wants. Do what is best for you, your husband and the children, even if it means divorce.
Never stay together for any
reason if you are not
getting along anymore.
What children see and hear
in a troubled relationship can
also be a bad affect.
I know that staying together for the sake of the children, hurt the children in the long run. You might want to check with your priest on this due to they don't believe in divorce. Good luck and may GOD bless.
Fizzle, regardless of your religion staying together for the sake of the children is selfish and wrong. Children are not stupid and they know when their parents are fighting and not getting along. Its not just words but its the feeling and vibes they get when the parents are in the same room. If for whatever reason two people no longer love each other and there is no hope for the marriage and counseling and prayer doesn't help then those 2 people should do whats best for the children and staying together and pretending by lying everyday gets pretty thin. You won't be able to pretend forever. I don't believe in divorce but not all marriages are perfect and just because 2 people decide to get married doesn't mean that God meant for them to be together. For better or For worse are words that are suppose to mean something not just lip services. God knows your heart and HE knows your situation. HE will forgive you. Children deserve to be happy too.
Catholicism states that divorce is wrong but a marriage can be annulled (need Vatican approval). That is an antiquated and ridiculous concept that hurts the children. Two people who do not want to remain together and who stay married are a bad influence on the kids.
no I dont believe they should stay together for the children, the only time I coudl see this happening is if both parents could actually get along,, most people I know fight in front of the kids, but want to stay together to keep their kids from being from broken homes, but I cant see how yelling, swearing and cussing at each other is a healthy enviroment for the kids,
No...irregardless of religion.
A child will be a happier child if he has happy parents that live apart rather than miserable parents that live together.
the catholic church doesn't believe in divorce..but it all depends on how happy or unhappy and the level of love you hve for each other. If you see yourself been able to stay because you love your spouse then i say seek counseling from a father or a therapist...if you are done with your spouse beyond return the by all means don't stay in a marriage because of your children. My mother did the same thing and i remember me begging her to leave my dad because i was sick and tired of them fighting everyday. She left two years ago and it affected her in a big way, i on the other hand as the child of the parent who stayed picked the bad habit of staying in a relationship just because tht's what i grew up knowing...but i had to stop and say no..so it does affect your children either way in the long run...think anr evaluate real hard for the sake of your children talk to your spouse about it if they are sensible enough..i hope all works out for you!!
NO. It makes the child's life even tougher, because they can sense the turmoil going on with the parents. Kids are more perceptive than we give them credit for. I was one of these kids, and it probably would have been less stressful if my parents got divorced.
marriage is supposed to be for life. However there are certain instances when divorce should be done. I would try to salvage the marriage, especially when kids are involved but if after counceling you still cant get along....then it might be best to get a divorce.
If there is no abuse, physical or substance, you might stay together temporarily for the kids sake if it would be best for them. If the situation is bearable for all parties. Until one or both parties is able to be on their own or in a different situation.
It has to be said that when people make the decision to have kids, they might have to do things they might not be totally happy with for awhile. The rule of ';whatever floats my boat'; is fine when you have no responsibilities, but when there are kids involved they deserve consideration for their best interests.
It has been a long time since I have had any experience with the Catholic religion but it always used to be, once you are married, that is the end of it until the lid is nailed down on someone's coffin.
It depends on why they are divorcing in the first place.
I don't think a marriage with total hate and misery, or worse, violence or addictions, should be held together for the kids.
That said, I think many marriages break up purely because people are unwilling to give, compromise, or care about anyone other than themselves.
People should take all reasonable steps to preserve their marriage. Boredom or loss of interest or lack of something is not an excuse for ruining children's lives.
NO do it because you still love each other. Yes you love your kids but why should you be with someone just for your kids, try to work thinks out with her go out to dinner start the dating thing again it all will be fine.
I'm christian and no well enough that the catholic church or any church for that matter is strongly against divorce unless it is for a strong valid reason. For instance if the husband is abusive, controlling, and when there are issues within the marriage that may be considered irreconcilable. I do believe that God wouldn't want any of his children to be unhappy in life and that includes being unhappy in marriage. If these are problems or issues of concern for you I do believe God would forgive and bless you for having the courage to stand-up for your happiness. It is never right to stay married just for the children because if you do then you will just take resentment out on the kids for having you stay in a dead marriage. It is better for you and the kids if you divorce because it will allow you to be a better mother and a happier parent.
God Bless and Good Luck.
That is a personal choice!

Should couples have the right to enhance their child by adding better genes to their genome? Why, or why not? ?
yeah i was reading about this chit last year n biology, we shouldnt be able to do this, next thing you know where going to have 9'11 laquisha walking around with muscles on her muscles, and can jump 110 feet in the air and outrun a effin cop car. lmaoShould couples have the right to enhance their child by adding better genes to their genome? Why, or why not? ?
That's a hard question... I mean, if your doctor told you that your child has sickle-cell anemia and the only way to fix it is altering the genome, then it's probably obvious that we'd go in there and fix it. But where should the line be drawn? Everyone wants a beautiful child, and maybe each parent will start altering genes to make a perfect kid... that could be a disaster. I mean, can you imagine living in a world where Heidi Klum looks like Rasputin? Then again, with 100% beautiful and healthy people maybe we could focus on other issues... but somehow I doubt it.

That said, I think many marriages break up purely because people are unwilling to give, compromise, or care about anyone other than themselves.
People should take all reasonable steps to preserve their marriage. Boredom or loss of interest or lack of something is not an excuse for ruining children's lives.
NO do it because you still love each other. Yes you love your kids but why should you be with someone just for your kids, try to work thinks out with her go out to dinner start the dating thing again it all will be fine.
I'm christian and no well enough that the catholic church or any church for that matter is strongly against divorce unless it is for a strong valid reason. For instance if the husband is abusive, controlling, and when there are issues within the marriage that may be considered irreconcilable. I do believe that God wouldn't want any of his children to be unhappy in life and that includes being unhappy in marriage. If these are problems or issues of concern for you I do believe God would forgive and bless you for having the courage to stand-up for your happiness. It is never right to stay married just for the children because if you do then you will just take resentment out on the kids for having you stay in a dead marriage. It is better for you and the kids if you divorce because it will allow you to be a better mother and a happier parent.
God Bless and Good Luck.
That is a personal choice!
I am with my husband ONLY because of my children! There is no doubt in my mind that we wouldn't be together if we didn't have kids. It works for us! We don't fight, we can agree when it comes to decisions about the kids, but that is the extent of it.
Keep in mind, it is very difficult! There are days when I don't think I can do, but I always try to remember why I made the choice in the first place! In my opinion, we sacrifice everyday for our children....my personal happiness is just one of those sacrifices. My children deserve to be in a 2 parent house, and they deserve to have their dad in their lives full-time! I am an adult, and I feel like it is my responsibility to deal with my choices!!
Very few people on here will agree with me!! You are going to have to evaluate whether or not the situation you are in is healthy for your kids. Don't make it about you! Good luck! Whatever decision you make will be very difficult!!!
That, of course, would depend upon the ';grounds'; for the divorce. Children should not have to witness any kind of verbal or physical abuse between their parents.
The parents should make some serious decisions about why they need to separate, now that they have spawned children and complicated matters.
Those children deserve two loving parents.
As stated, I don't think the Catholic religion allows for divorce under any circumstances, based on the notion that ';what God has united let no man tear apart';. However, annulments are permitted.
From a practical standpoint, this is probably a good idea that may go too far. I think a lot of troubled marriages today may be redeemable, but since we are a people of quick fixes, we choose divorce rather than the long process of reconciliation. If children are involved, I think the idea of staying together and trying to resolve differences is a very noble goal. A couple should do everything in its power to remain together.
However, there may come a point and time where all of the effort has not worked, especially if there is abuse involved. Under these circumstances, it may be best for everyone involved (children included) to seek a divorce. It may be a sin from the Catholic viewpoint, but if it meant the difference between the happiness and well-being of my children, then so be it.
nonononononononononono. Kids are very perceptive and pick up on every little thing. They are better off with two parents that are seperate and contact than together and miserable.
Should couples have the right to enhance their child by adding better genes to their genome? Why, or why not? ?
yeah i was reading about this chit last year n biology, we shouldnt be able to do this, next thing you know where going to have 9'11 laquisha walking around with muscles on her muscles, and can jump 110 feet in the air and outrun a effin cop car. lmaoShould couples have the right to enhance their child by adding better genes to their genome? Why, or why not? ?
That's a hard question... I mean, if your doctor told you that your child has sickle-cell anemia and the only way to fix it is altering the genome, then it's probably obvious that we'd go in there and fix it. But where should the line be drawn? Everyone wants a beautiful child, and maybe each parent will start altering genes to make a perfect kid... that could be a disaster. I mean, can you imagine living in a world where Heidi Klum looks like Rasputin? Then again, with 100% beautiful and healthy people maybe we could focus on other issues... but somehow I doubt it.face mask

';ship'; = relationship
Harry and Hermione
From Emerson and Melissa's interview with JK Rowling on July 17th, 2005:
ES: Harry/Hermione shippers - delusional!
JKR: Well no, I'm not going to - Emerson, I am not going to say they're delusional! They are still valued members of my readership! I am not going to use the word delusional. I am, however, going to say 鈥?now I am trusting both of you to do the spoiler thing when you write this up. I will say, that yes, I personally feel - well it's going to be clear once people have read Book 6. I mean, that鈥檚 it. It鈥檚 done, isn鈥檛 it? We know. Yes, we do now know that it's Ron and Hermione. I do feel that I have dropped heavy hints.
Ron and Hermione
After reading Half-Blood Prince, I'm sure most of you will agree that Ron and Hermione will eventually hook up. Although Ron and Hermione never did anything in Book 6 to indicate that they're now officially an item, we know they did not make anything official because of the massive and more important events taking place elsewhere (like Dumbledore's death). I'm sure we'll see these two properly confess their longings in the next book. After what happened in the penultimate novel (Ron's jealousy of Hermione dating Cormac McLaggen and Hermione's jealousy of Ron and Lavender's relationship), this pairing is a sure thing. Besides, JKR confirmed this relationship in her interview with MuggleNet/TLC.
Harry and Ginny
At Dumbledore's funeral in HBP, Harry told Ginny they could no longer be together.
';Ginny, listen.... I can't be involved with you anymore. We've got to stop seeing each other. We can't be together.'; (HBP, pg. 646)
Harry explains to Ginny that if Voldemort discovers they are an item, she may be in danger. Ginny protests saying she doesn't care, but Harry refuses to let another loved one die at the hands of Voldemort. Harry and Ginny may rekindle their relationship in Book 7, but I seriously doubt it. Harry has bigger things to do.
Draco and Pansy
A likely couple... pre-Book 6. Since Prisoner of Azkaban, the pair has been almost joined at the hip. For example, when Buckbeak bites Draco in Book 3, Pansy is absolutely devestated. We also see hints of a relationship in Book 6:
Malfoy, sniggering, lay back down across two seats with his head in Pansy Parkinson's lap. Harry lay curled uncomfortably under the cloak to ensure that every inch of him remained hidden, and watched Pansy stroke the sleek blond hair off Malfoy's forehead, smirking as she did so, as though anyone would have loved to have been in her place.
Pansy clearly likes (if not loves) Malfoy and looks up to him, but I can't say that Malfoy feels the same way about her. He enjoys Pansy's company but only because she fawns over him and gives him the royal treatment. Besides, even if he did like her, he's too busy with other things - just like Harry is too busy with his Horcrux quest to stay in a relationship with Ginny.
Hermione and McLaggen
Hermione obviously went to Slughorn's party with Cormac just to make Ron jealous. Not gonna happen.
Won-Won and Lavender
Again, just Ron trying to make Hermione jealous. That relationship is over.
Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour
These two are engaged and have a wedding planned for the opening summer in Book 7, so unless something goes seriously wrong, these two are sticking together.
Hagrid and Maxime
We actually didn't see much of these two together in Book 6, but our bet is they're still ';close'; - and who knows how their relationship will develop in the seventh book?
Ginny and Neville
It's a longshot, but as Ginny is now Harry-free, she might take more of an interest in Neville. They've always been close - even if Ginny is friends with him partly out of pity.
Luna and Neville
Although we haven't seen much interaction between these two, there have been a few times of note where the pair have worked together: Department of Mysteries battle, the Death Eaters/Order fight following Dumbledore's death, and Dumbledore's funeral. Luna and Neville also have something in common: the ';loss'; of a loved one. Luna's mother died when she was young, and Neville's parents barely recognise him. Also, both of them are hardly the most popular kids at Hogwarts. Perhaps, they'll comfort each other in the dark times expected in Book 7?
Edit: JK crashed this one.
Tonks and Lupin
We see from the hospital wing scene at the end of HBP that Nymphadora and Remus do have feelings for each other; the only thing that's keeping the relationship from developing at this point is Lupin pulling away because of his lycanthropy. We think he'll come to his senses eventually, though, especially in these times when it's most important to keep loved ones close.
The following couples were considered pre-Half-Blood Prince, but we really don't believe stand a chance now. However, if you have a strong argument for why any of these couples could work, please e-mail your thoughts to the editorials section and, again, if they like 'em, we'll post them here.

Gay couples and topping/bottoming and the races.?
First of all, let me just say I know Hispanic isn't a race, but it is often used in context of race.
Do you notice the following stereotypes to be true:
1. Black/white couple - the black tops.
2. White/asian couple - the white tops.
3. Hispanic/white - the hispanic tops.
4. Hispanic/black - the hispanic tops.Gay couples and topping/bottoming and the races.?
no, not reallyGay couples and topping/bottoming and the races.?
i notice no clear pattern. the tops top and the bottoms bottom.
your sphincter isnt going to jus magically get loose because the person you are with is another colour. peple get together based on whether they each have what the other wants and thats all.
i have many pics of whites subbing to all different races and topping to all different races . there is no rule of thumb here.
there may be something going on with a lot of asian guys looking for tops but they want black tops and white tops . none of them ever seems to BE a top but im sure that is a race fetish on their part. within the asian gay community i am sure there are a more proportionate mix of tops to bottoms.
there are a surprising number of pics i've seen where the black guys WANT to submit to the white guys especially for bdsm (like they havent had ebuf abuse at the hands of a white guy.)
I can't answer number 4, but I can definitely say that the first three do not necessarily hold true. I've been the top for more black men and the bottom for more Asian men, although most of the men I've been with tend to be versatile, at least to a certain extent.
white tops Hispanic..

For couples who make really good $ yearly.....?
Why don't a lot of you save one persons paycheck for the whole year and live off the others just to pay down your mortgages? We have so many options in America thank god that we should stop giving our money to interest (tax write off or not) I realize that sometimes the more you make, the more lavish the life style, but why cant we sacrifice for a few years?
If each couple made ex. 70 per year or even 60 , in 3 yrs you would have enough to pay off a mortgage based on where you live or at least pay off half. It's so easy .....feedback?For couples who make really good $ yearly.....?
Your suggestion is valid for many couples with two incomes. Too often, however, there is a tendency to live within the two incomes when it would be simple to use part of the second income to repay debts. However, your suggestion does not fit everyone. A mortgage on a home is the lowest interest money that people can obtain. A couple that earns more than enough to repay the loan may be wise to keep paying on the mortgage and invest the extra money. If the mortgage has a 5 percent interest rate but you can invest money at 8 percent, financially you are better off investing, because you have a net gain of 3 percent on the invested money. Responsible people who can manage their money well can benefit by using the equity on their house to borrow at a low rate and invest the money at a higher rate. Keep in mind that the mortgage interest is a tax deductible item, which means the mortgage payments are subsidized by the government, which makes the cost of the mortgage even lower.For couples who make really good $ yearly.....?
So easy to give OTHER people advice about finances. Here's a hint: keep your own house clean, don't worry about others'.
I agree, but I don't make really good $. :-(

Several years ago an ex and I went as Brigitte Nielson and Flava Flav, but that's SOOO 2004
Fantasy:
Fire and Ice
Night and Day
Angel and Devil
Frankenstein and Bride
BUT, we decided this year on this: my bf is going as a ';shower'; and I'm going as a skeleton a la Karate Kid.
';that is the best costume'; I think!
Happy Halloween!
I did see one that made me laugh some years back, but still topical.
He was a sheik -- just white sheets draped like an arabian with a twisted piece of fabric for the headband.
She was an oil well -- black leotard and tights, a cardboard cut out oil rig spray painted silver and a couple strips of that wired ribbon or stars in black poking out the top of the oil well .. it's the oil. (find it in the gift wrap section at a hobby store)
If your guy has dark hair he can start growing his middle eastern beard and moustache soon. If he's fair haired you can apply facial hair with make up.
The couple I saw was absolutely striking. The oil well was about two feet over her head (it fitted on her shoulders and looked pretty sturdy). In any case you could see her from anywhere in the room.
You could both dress up in all black and paint your faces and carry around Ipods dancing fiercely.

Here are the ideas my boyfriend and I kicked around before we decided on our costume:
Hindi god and goddess
On Friday the 30th I'm going as a marionnette. I was willing to alter it to Pinocchio and Gipetto but he's not into it.
Historical couples we talked about were:
Medusa/Hercules or 300/Roman type
Marilyn and JFK
Topical/funny
John and Kate (Ed hardy and that crazy haircut)
beer pong players (each have a board like a cigarette girl but w/beer pong cups on it)

Married couples. Who has the final say in your household about food and cooking?
When you say ';final say'; it makes it sound like there is some kind of an argument. I don't know that we've ever argued about what to eat.
We discuss next week's menu every Saturday before we go shopping. My husband cooks during the week because he arrives home three hours before I do. Sometimes he makes something completely off the menu, but I don't mind. I cook on weekends.Married couples. Who has the final say in your household about food and cooking?
I guess I would have to say it's me who pretty much decides the meals for everyone and does the majority of the cooking and 99% of the grocery shopping. I wish it wasn't like that though...I think it's so much fun to cook together and brings a couple closer to share in rituals like eating/meals. I think it also sets a good example for children to see both parents providing creating meals for the family.Married couples. Who has the final say in your household about food and cooking?
Men do. Men have every right to criticize a womans cooking. Heck, if my GF cooks something I don't like I spit the mouthful onto the wall and toss the whole plate into the garbage. Then I usually grab her car keys (and some money) and go buy some tacos and beer.
I do all the cooking because it is something that I truly enjoy. What I don't like is having to think of things to cook!! That is his job. He tells me what he would like to have and I make it happen. It works out very well.
Pretty much it's my husband. He's the one who enjoys cooking and who is good at it... I'm happy just microwaving an EasyMac and calling it ';dinner';, so whatever he wants to do is fine.
Well, its not really like that, but my husband, who has had a lot of professional training, is a much more talented cook than I am.
My wife is a chef by trade, so whatever she wants to cook is sooo cool with me ;-) I do the cleanup by the way.
We both do.
neither, we know how to compromise
it is pretty equal in ours. we both want healthy
