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?
yes

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

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?

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
