Do you think birth control is a sin, or okay? Do you think the methods listed below would be okay between a married couple?
condoms, vasectomy, tubal ligation (tubes tied).
Thanks in advance for your reply!Christians--Birth Control/Vasectomy Between Married Couples? Okay or Sin?
I think that is between each person and the Lord to determine what is the best choice for them at the right time in their lives. At SOME point in time it seems wise and advantageous to take steps to prevent further pregnancies - either due to age, mental state, emotional stamina or others pertinent reasons that matter to that couple. To carelessly and haphazardly just let things HAPPEN when they will is rather careless in my opinion.
But everyone has to decide what is right for them. I think something like this being sinful would happen when someone makes a decision BASED on a solely SELFISH intent but either way, God judges our HEARTS and knows the reasoning behind what we do. THere is wisdom and there are selfish desires - so by which do we make these choices?
I had a T.L. after my 4th at age 36 - I knew I needed to be done with pregancy(s) and emotionally couldn't handle more children at that time. I knew the Lord knew this too and even though my husband really struggled with me making this decision at the time - in hindsight he is glad I decided to do this. BUT he wasn't happy with my choice at the time. BUT ultimately it was MY body, My choice and I was the one getting pregnant and carrying babies, not him and I felt good %26amp; right about my decision and still do some 16 years later.Christians--Birth Control/Vasectomy Between Married Couples? Okay or Sin?
according to YOUR religion, it is indeed a sin :
God’s Word says, “The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time... and come together again” (1 Cor.7:4,5). Do we say that it’s a “private matter,” and therefore the pastor should not teach this part of God’s Word, merely because it speaks of what is done in the privacy of the bedroom? Certainly not! All aspects of marriage need to be properly taught to the flock. The Lord’s people need to know how they are to behave, not only in public but even in their most private moments. For “the eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good” (Prov.15:3). What occurs in the bedroom may be hidden from other men, but not from God; and the Christian couple are to glorify the Lord even there.
Maybe, instead of sinning, you should just forget about such an unrealistic religion.
I agree with what Andrew A said. Like my father and his wife, they dont use birth control and they have only had 3 children, 2 born the second died. Anyhow, they dont believe in birthcontrol and they only have 2 kids. Shes young too and they dont believe in that. and I really believe that God will do what has to be done. Let God do what God has to do. Even if you do a vacs you can still impregnate and birthcontrol in women has harmful side effects blood clots depression..etc. (read the insert) Personally for myself, I dont believe in bc or vacs. I am 28 and I got pregnant for the first time last year. God gives life when it is time and when it is the moment. Best of luck. :)
It is ok.
They are all ok.
When Adam and Eve were told to populate the earth they and their descendants did just that.
We no longer have to keep populating it if we choose not to,
Not only that, Jesus died on the cross for all of our sins. So the only sin there is now is the sin of unbelief.
If you do not believe that Jesus is the Son of God who wan born, suffered and died as a sacrifice for your sins and rose on the third day,
then you better worry because that is the only sin left in this world.
As long as you are doing one of the three you mention for non-selfish reasons and both husband and wife have prayed about it and have seriously considered the results.
James 4:17 So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.
I think it's okay.
';Be fruitful and multiply';, was in the Hebrew section, anyway. There's enough Christians (and humans, overall) in the world to carry on the traditions, already.
If you take the Bible literally, any form of sex that isn't geared to reproduction is wrong. That pretty much kills the 'natural' methods of birth control. Sorry to those that think that's their 'out'.
I don't see a problem with it. I think it's a nit-picking discussion that has nothing to do with one's relationship with God and should be up to the couple to decide.
Yes and it is not a sin.
Birth control is between the husband and wife, man and woman in a relationship.
A sin , you are not trusting God to meet all your needs. Why use it ? Do you know more than God ? Proverbs 3:5 '; Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.';
Those of you who are about to say something about interfering with god's plan...
...consider whether you truly believe in god so feeble as to be thwarted by a few grams of latex.
Nothing wrong with birth control. And anyone who says that needs to mind their business and stay out of married people's affairs.
No, I do not believe that any of these are sins. Sin happens when someone gets pregnant and then uses abortion as birth control.
I am Roman Catholic so all a sin. I do it naturally.
Dude - have the op. It takes ten minutes, and you don't even have to remove your pants completely.
Are you Roman Catholic? If not, then you should be OK.
SIN!
I shall now commence SHUNNING you!

How long should a couple live together before it is considered a common law marriage?
I am speaking about couple living together and not married.
A) one year
B) three years
C) five years
D) ten years
E) never
Let's just assume no children are involved.
I ask because people say they are afraid of losing half if not more after a divorce. Yet the laws for common marriage basically can do the same thing. Do you agree with common law marriages?How long should a couple live together before it is considered a common law marriage?
I think never.
Yet last year BBC showed a story that in India now, cohabitation for a period of more than 12 months is common law marriage. And a woman can claim rape after sex if they decided to marry in future but did not. And the common law wife gets all the benefits of legal wife. And the country has complete alimony system.How long should a couple live together before it is considered a common law marriage?
The whole question makes me feel a little weird, because on one hand, it's ridiculous that people can have legitimate, recognized marriages that last but a couple of months, yet people who decide not to get the legal recognition of their relationship have to be together longer in order to ';prove'; something. That strikes me as incredibly unfair.
I think the whole idea of common law marriages is becoming wildly difficult to define as we start getting into new views of commitment, cohabitation, and couples choosing not to get married. It's just hard.
I do yeah, if you're living together as a married couple would, you should get the same benefits that married couples do. If it means you also could be fucked in a breakup, then you take that with the good as far as taxes and whatnot.
Three years seems decent, but I like 5 better. Tough call, happy I'm not the one who decided it, really.
I guess 5 feels safer, I'd say 5.
I'm ok with common law marriage, but that is probably because I wouldn't live with someone who wasn't contributing anything. (Nor would I BE someone who wasn't contributing anything.) So splitting things evenly after a breakup would be logical, not unfair. Each takes what was theirs before, and then split what was acquired together. How does that not make sense, except to an extremely greedy person?
I think its seven. I'm fine with that. The common law is mostly for if you have children and what to do after the ';spouse'; passes away. It makes sense to a degree, especially if you have children. I suppose there could be a different law for those couples who DON'T have children.
As far as the government is concerned, never.
Marriage needs to become more of a private sector and religious thing if it is to remain relevant going forward. Until then, I can't recommend either marriage or cohabitation for men in the West.
Most states don't recognize common law marriage anymore...and those that did it was only 7 years.
Personally, I say never. Marriage is marriage...and living together is living together.
E- i don't believe in ';common law marriage'; I think its ludicrous if women think I'm going to pay them to be my ex wife or ex common law wife. Good luck.
I do not agree with common law marriages, I believe in REAL marriages in which someone proposes and the other person accepts and then goes on to make it official.
I don't believe in common law marriages. You either get married or you don't. Make the commitment or don't.
i think it's 7 years here in ky i think people should live together before they get married that's how people know each other.
The minimum. Six months?

What are the first couple of steps in order to start a non-profit organization internationally?
I would like to start one..and i do know that first you have to know in which you are passionate about...homeless, scholarships, etc. I would like to know the specific steps and how to launch it from there. If you have started one, please let me know! Thanks for your help!What are the first couple of steps in order to start a non-profit organization internationally?
Step one is first you must start a LOCAL non-profit and go from there. It is IMPOSSIBLE to start an international one from Day 1, unless you have MILLIONS and MILLIONS of your own dollars at your disposal. Even then, you will incure HEAVY losses until you can get the donation support necessary to support your operations.What are the first couple of steps in order to start a non-profit organization internationally?

If you are not legally divorced, then you are committing adultery. There is no in between.Can a separated married couple have their own love/romantic life during the separation period?
yes. there can be complications if legal divorce is not granted.proof of extra-marital relationship will ruin the procedure.without proof and without publicity in the darkness any thing is possible.
Holy God, man, why would you ask a question like this to a bunch of bored American housewives and office workers?
What on earth made you think they would know anything about Malaysian divorce law or Muslim culture?
Jims_bon
Probably a little risky by the sounds of things. But its not illegal I wouldn't imagine, but may well be frowned upon. So best to wait a while.
Seek legal advice - asking here is too risky for advice to take.

good luck!We are having a couple for a weekend visit and I need some ideas for some really good meals and snacks-?
Boy -you are getting some great ideas! I hope where you live, the weather is not as scorching as it has been here in the south. For starters, you can enjoy your guests even more if you decide to GRILL!! Grab your meats and peppers and onions and have a great cookout with shish kabob, (chicken, burgers, shrimp, or brauwurst is also great to add) corn and other grilled veggies. Have plenty of pasta salad on hand and some great Heiniken Beer or Channti Ruffino. Another night you might include your guests - have trays of cold cuts with a variety of meats, cheeses, fruit, salads and breads. Order some New York Cheese cake (make your own strawberry or blueberry toppings (start with the frozen and add the real fruit) for choices and enjoy!
Now, being the southerner at heart that I am - my guests could not get away without some of my real down home cooking! You might not want to get ';this deep';, but I am sure your guests would appreciate your hard work - at least give them one night of your heart and soul and kitchen sweat.
Southerners just love dumplings! Make some (there are lots of good recipes on websites) and add your chicken. Let that simmer slowly. Check this out - Southern fried chicken with (gravy!) mac and cheese (the real kind - not boxed), collard and turnip greens mixed (gotta have those knuckles in there for flavor, or salt pork. You can always toss it after the greens have cooked). Sweet potato pone (sweet potato casserole with marshmellows on top), sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, onions and beets - yeah, boy! (together - drop some vinegar on top and put it in the fridge!) Add some hot water corn bread (recipe on website), some good old sweet lemon-ice tea or kool ade (yes - that's southern style- red preferably) and for dessert - Georgia Pecan Pie, or Peach Cobbler topped with Vanilla Ice Cream! Your guests will not hesitate to return. OR - you can grill again - some real big bones beef and pork - barbeque style - where you make your sauce and use a 'bbq mop' and splash the sauce on and let it 'bake'. That's real barbeque.
I wish I was there - I would be so happy to do all this cooking for you so you could enjoy your guests - but then - they'd want to visit me next time instead of you.....smile
Enjoy your friends- life is so short and true friends are few - you're doing the right thing by wanting to spend time with them. Have fun!

Melon. Ball up any kinds of melon and salt them lightly. Put them in a glass bowl and put that bowl into a larger one filled with ice. Give everyone their own fork and you have a communal (always fun) snack.
There isn't anything faster or tastier than rack of lamb. Smear with garlic butter and bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes (no longer, more than 35 minutes and the lamb will be well done and it will be ruined). Serve with mint jelly and par boiled potatos and fresh veggies.

Raspberry vinnagrette dressing
In most grocery stores they have this prepared puff pastry in the freezer section and you can use it to make snacks or wrap around sausages with cheese sliced into the middle of them... or you can buy a can of those cherry pie filling and cut the pastry into sqaures and dab some cherry onto em and cook em and then when they are done squirt some whipped cream onto them and they are yummy......or even apple pie filling in the bottom of a cake pan and mix some walnuts into it with chocolate chips and caramals cut into half and then lay the pastry in a diamond pattern and put in the oven until the pastry is done and people will eat it and rave (at least my family did) i've done it with fresh apples but cooked the apple cobbler first until almost done and then added the pastry..... buy a package of lil cocktail wieners w cheese and put in a miniture crockpot and put ur favorite bbq sauce and have a plate of cheese and crackers on the side with plenty of napkins of course.........email me if you have any ? have fun!

What was your first couple signs of pregnancy?
I know that everyone's body is different but i was just curious to see how different. So what was your first sign of pregnancy?What was your first couple signs of pregnancy?
My boobs got so sore, I couldn't stand going over the bumps in the road without holding them!What was your first couple signs of pregnancy?
At about 5 weeks before I knew I was pregnant, I felt like I had a temp and was always tired. I was always hot and had to have a cold washcloth on my head. I also could not get enough sleep! I would come straight home from work and hit the couch.
At about 6 weeks, the morning sickness started.
MY MOODS! It was like PMS on crack! I was so moody and grouchy it was ridiculous. I didn't feel anything like myself and my brain felt constantly cluttered. All I did was fight with my boyfriend and after my period was a week late, I got a positive HPT. The other big thing was a huge increase in my appetite! I started eating breakfast after twenty years of not.
Sore breast is a big tell tail. Of course the oops i missed my period is too. The first pregnacy is hard to detect w/o taking a test. But after you have had one child you will know that your body is telling you something. I never had to take a test to tell me i was pregnet after the 1st child.
gl
my boobs got bigger and felt more heavier..just like they r supoused to get before the period. and also somehow i felt like im pregnant..kept telling everyone that i am but they didnt belive me...then took a prgn test 4 days b4 period and it came out positive =) ...But deff the boobs got fuller..Good luck
I got super emotional...like crazy mood swings and i had gone out and had a few drinks and the next day i had tiny red spots all over my face. So I took a test...and here i sit with a beautiful 7 month old on my lap.
Heartburn, mood swings and headaches.
(things i don't usually have)
Severe fatigue, and finally sore boobs and tender nipples.
my nipples got darker and i just knew i had to be pregnant... also i did get dizzy a few times like someone else mentioned!! good luck!!! thats about it, because im 29 weeks prego and havent thrown up once!!!
I felt kind of bloated and tired. I also felt a little dizzy when I would stand up. I wasn't even late yet when I noticed those symptoms.
irritability and having the munchies! I was always eating something lol
Sore breasts and nipples (with my 2 sons). A heavy feeling in my hips (with my daughter).
I was getting dizzy and was very tired.
The only symptom I had was complete exhaustion
I had major mood swings like never before so i knew something was up so i took a test. It was positive
I was really tired and my breasts got bigger.
tiredness then missed period
My very first sign of pregnancy was I craved Coca Cola and cheese. Both of mine were that way.

My breasts were sore, though they normally were before my period.. but this wasn't going away, And I felt really tired all of the time. So I took a test

How can an engaged couple keep credit file seperate once married?
One of us has a foreclosure on credit report, other one has perfect credit. We are about to get married and want to buy a house. Is it possible to get married and not have to show other spouse's credit for loans?How can an engaged couple keep credit file seperate once married?
Each person has their own credit report. It's a law. The report does not contain marital status. It's illegal for a creditor to even ask if you're married.
If you apply for a loan as coborrowers, then both reports get checked. If only one of you is signing for the loan, then only that persons credit will be checked.How can an engaged couple keep credit file seperate once married?
Buy it in your name and your name only. Dont include the other person in the your credit cards. Dont authorize each other on credit cards. You dont have to ';report'; to all credit agencies that you are married. The one who has perfect credit will assume all the risk. The other one will be an authorized user. If you get divorced, it is a legal mess. The person who buys the house buys it in his/her name. The other one is just an occupant. So are cars and credit cards.
I think you can say you are buying your house for yourself and assuming all the financial risk and/or payment for the house. Your spouse has nothing to do with it.
Lourvd is correct, for now if you are going to purchase a house, you will have to purchase it on your own, and qualify. If your income is not enough then you will have to consider your finacee, and then the credit will merge. I suggest you choose between be able to qualify for the loan yourself, or waiting and straightening out your significant other's personal credit and then buying it together.
As long as you don't apply for joint credit, your reports will remain separate. The spouse with the perfect credit will have to earn enough money to qualify for the mortgage, the other spouse's income can't be considered. Also, check your state laws, the other spouse may have to sign away their homestead rights.

Does anyone know of any software that can show what a couples children would look like using their photos?
Sorry, if you're looking for a serious software that will show you, there is no such technology. Like the previous poster said, any software that does is a scam, because there are too many possibilities and x-factors involved with genetic makeup (for example, grandparents genes are also factored).
If you're looking for something like what Conan does on his show (spoofing celebrities) than there is no such thing either. Conan has photoshop artists that digitally recreate the faces.Does anyone know of any software that can show what a couples children would look like using their photos?
There is no such software... and if there is - it's a scam.
There are too many possibilites for what a couple's offspring could look like.
We're talking genes from all four grandparents and their ancestors and all that.
Essentially it is ALL up for grabs.Does anyone know of any software that can show what a couples children would look like using their photos?
no, but if you find out, please email me at mspimp3@yahoo.com because i think that would be really neat
LOL, Late Night w/ Conan O'Brien has that technology. He uses it in skits he calls ';What if they mated...'; and the results are pretty funny!

Isn't it amazing that after years of marriage, that we (couples) are still so lonely?
How sad is that?Isn't it amazing that after years of marriage, that we (couples) are still so lonely?
You're telling me, sister. Sometimes I feel as alone as I was as a teenager. Part of it is if your spouse becomes a parent or a kid (they always seem to become one or the other), where does one find some spiritual companionship?Isn't it amazing that after years of marriage, that we (couples) are still so lonely?
Because we are more pack animals and tribal. Our current culture does not foster any of that, we are rendered to, wage slaves, to the clock,economy, our multi tasking demanding lives of juggling too much human doing and not enough being. My parents both worked and were sublimating their empty tired lives with TV while I was growing up. Now it is great that we do have this blogging as a step further in a kind of communicative interactive community rather than staring blankly at a TV screen. So we are moving closer to our tribal community roots. As for couples we are as lonely as we chose to be if we have had a spiritual divorce and everybody is home but nobody is talking or wanting to be there it would be hella lonely.
A couple is still two people. They have desires and thoughts that they can't express to each other. You can't be everything to each other and sometimes you grow apart after a long time together, just going about your daily lives as if the other person doesn't exist. Maintaining that close connection with a partner takes work.
Its very sad! I just got married this June and I am very alone. He works third shift and our times are so diff. We have been together for 9 years but its the thought of we just got married what is wrong with that. I am so depressed about it but don't know what to do we have three kids and I do love him he just does not hear me out and we never get to the point of the disagreement!
JJ, have you ever evaluated your life to evaluate why you are lonely? Maybe you need to make new friends and move in different circles than you are in now.
Regards,
Dan
sorry but I think the problem is that you're not fulfilling your own happiness. Partners should be gravy in my opinion. Be who you want to be and share that with someone. Don't expect anyone to fill in your gaps.
Yeah. I've never felt this alone in my life! My husband and I recently started attending marriage counseling. The sex has improved, but I don't know if we will make. There's so much more than sex and he doesn't understand that.
I know what you mean. I think that is why there is so much interest in casual sex too now... Open interest I mean.. from both men and women... it is a way to deal with the loneliness.
Sad indeed.
This leads to many bad things, many.

Do all healthy married couples have sex?
Yes. A relationship without sex is not a healthy relationship. They say if the sex is good it's 10% importance in the relationship. If the sex is bad it's 90% of importance. Now if I twisted it to take healthy as in physically healthy, then no. Not all married couples have sex. But it's an incredibly low percentage of people that are in a ';sexless marriage'; (less than 10 times a year)

One of the first Gay couples to get married are getting a divorce. NOW, they dont want the ';media circus'; to follow the procedings. The nerve of them!One of first gay couples are getting a divorce? Say it aint so!?
It's so!!! Everyone has a story - this is a story that one could sell. Pathetic, really!One of first gay couples are getting a divorce? Say it aint so!?
lol kinda like that chick who had what, 8 kids? and now she's selling her story for 2 million dollars and in addition to that, she wants her own kid's show where she discusses kids stuff. like ';A place of our own'; or something like that. i think she needs a life besides making babies. hello, now we have tv on our hands and we still need to procreate for entertainment? boring, useless, and painful if u ask me...
I can't think of anything I could say on this topic that won't get me another Yahooweenie violations notice.
Who cares?
They wanted the circus when it suited them.
i guess she realized she is no longer gay. she wants to date guys now

You see alot more couples having babies before marriage, would you say they are planning it this way?
I am unwed and 33 weeks pregnant, Although I was on birth control and I was taking it properly, I ended up pregnant. But I have noticed so many couples having children before marriage. Do they plan it this way? Just curious. Or is it more of an accident, or irresponsiblity. I dont see anything wrong with it, I just see almost a trend...for lack of a better term.You see alot more couples having babies before marriage, would you say they are planning it this way?
There is one sure way of not getting pregnant.You see alot more couples having babies before marriage, would you say they are planning it this way?
I think with the stats on divorce, a lot pf people don't see the point in committing themselves to something that could end up very messy. I'm married now but I wasn't when we had our first child - he just happened and that's probably what happens to a lot of people - there's a lot of ';accidents'; out there! :)
A lot of people might disagree with me on this, or hate me for it, but I would call it irresponsibility. I fail to see how there is such a thing as ';accidentally getting pregnant.'; Having consensual sex with someone is a conscious decision made by both participants, each of whom is completely aware of the possible outcome even with the use of contraceptives. Nothing is 100% effective except not doing it.
Everyone is capable of waiting until the right time, which I personally believe is after marriage-but I'm not going to shove my religious beliefs down anyone's throat. Waiting is not a matter of ';Can I do it?'; It's a matter of being mature enough.....or not. I'm aware that there are plenty of people who have had children without being married and are now perfectly happy families, and I applaud them especially with our society the way it is.
As for you, like other people have said, count your blessings that the guy is still around and willing to be a father. With the way most guys are, I admire him for this. And, I wish you best of luck with your new child. :)
Well I'm 37weeks and i have a daughter both pregnancy's were accident but i dont care i still love my babies and yes iam still with the father to my kids...and i dont think there is anything wrong with that and i think some ppl its just accidents and some just plan it cuz marriage dont work out all the time...everytime someone gets married it seems to end bad...well im going to be getting married to my long time bf next month we been together for 7years so yea i think its time lol...well hope that answers some of your question...take care..good luck
I am 35 weeks pregnant and got married at 17 weeks. we started planning the wedding at 11 weeks. My son is wanted and is and always will be loved. We were not planning this baby but we werent trying to stop it. We are both excised and cant wait to see or new son very soon.
Yeah it seems that way but the way marriges last now aday's there is nothing wrong with been pregnant and not been marry,
Both my Boyfriend and I were married before and got ';burned'; pretty bad. Thankfully we didn't have children with our spouses. We don't want to get married for fear of what we both went thru when we tried that. We have a loving son and he doesn't notice the difference. We didn't plan for our son be we didn't make sure that he wouldn't be either. We both wanted a child and didn't care how long it took or didn't take for us to have one.
My girlfriend is 10 weeks pregnant it was NOT planned but we are sooooooo excited and we are welcoming them with open arms!
very few couples plan it
I can't speak for unmarried couples but as for myself we were trying but when we got pregnant we had given up and was entirely unplanned. I think some couples (women in particular) feel they are already married or just are unprepared. I don't think many plan it either though. Some are irresponsible. It just depends. My hubby and I tried two years before we were married. We were engaged and both of us knew we were as prepared as we could be. :) I am glad that I am pregnant now, but looking back I don't think we were nearly prepared as we thought we were. But I do think there are alot more unmarried people having children. I think it is all of the above. It just depends. I do not see anything wrong either as long as the child is loved and taken care of by responsible adults who love them as well. I am a wife and mother to be of 11w1d
There are many people who want a child but don't want to be married. I think that people in America don't value marriage much any more, thus the huge divorce rate. I think it's a shame, marriage is a very fulfilling conection that many people are missing out on. I don't believe that people should jump into marriage with a person that they aren't 100% sure they could live the rest of their lives with, but I do think that those who find that marriage isn't a walk in the park should try harder not to bail when the going gets tough. As for reproducing out of wedlock, sometimes things happen, it doesn't make you a bad person, or a bad parent. Good luck with your little one, and congratulations. Kids are fun and best of all, they don't get to divorce you (just kidding). ;)
I don't think anyone plans anything anymore..MOST PEOPLE DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT BIRTH CONTROL!! They do everyone and have no idea who the father is! Watch all the talk shows on now...The women on these show are yelling I am 100% sure they are the father and 99% of the time they are not!!
ummm..sum pple dont really plan it at a uncertain age..i dont think soo..i guess its wat life gives u
Children need both parents. PERIOD. It doesn't matter in this day and age to be married, of course this works out best for the man because he gets his cow and milk for free. You my dear will end up bareing this burden alone if you don't get married. You really don't know what you are in for. Good luck.
Yes, I do see alot of coupes having babies before marriage. I would have to say that men don't want the cow when they can get the milk for free. Women on the other hand want men to commit and that's selfish of them. I must admit...I am a woman and when I was 17 yes, I got pregnant on birth control, had the baby. Not to mention that relationship didn't work. I got involved with another man got pregnant again. That relationship didn't work either. Now, I met a man at age 24 and got pregnant with baby number 3 he wanted to marry and we did and we're still together. I'm ashamed to admit to people that I have 3 children by 3 different men. I blame it on the the abuse that I went through as a child rape, molestation, you name it I was never happy. I always thought I needed a man in my life. Now after 9 years of he and I being together he tells me he married me b/c I was pregnant. It's hard to digest but we are on the verge of a seperation b/c he's not happy. I will pray for you and your baby, but don't get married b/c of the child it will hurt in the long run.
no, they're in the same boat like you.

I think some of them are unplanned (or accidents) and others plan it because they don't mind that they're not married. I think times are changing and more people don't care if they're not married. They want a baby with their partner and they don't need to be married to get pregnant and have a baby. If they love their partner, that's what matters. Or, some people aren't even in love with anyone. They just want a baby so badly that they'll get pregnant by whoever and not mind being a single mom.
Personally, we were already committed to each other. We already felt married. We were not engaged when we came off of birth control but had been together for 3 years, 2 of it living together. We got engaged 4 months after we came off of birth control. Finally, after 6 years of being together we eloped. This would also be within the 3 day period where we got pregnant!!! After 3 years of no birth control we got pregnant within a couple of days or on the day we got married.. how's that for ironic!!
I think if there was better education on obtaining and correctly using all methods of birth control, it wouldn't be as much of a problem. We were taught that sex was forbidden and we would get diseases and die if we had it. Needless to say there were about five pregnant teens in senior year.... So if they had said ';Here's how to get the pill'; I think things could have been different. But I doubt that will ever happen.
This is a hard question to answer for fear of judgement.
I am 23 and got pregnant with my first at 18, delivered at 19. I never wanted children but birth control pills are not effective for me, learned my lesson and finally the truth after baby number three.
I dont see it as a trend all that much, I see a lot of my friends have them just because they want one, I am married, and have been with my boyfriend for 8 years before getting married last year and we have 3 children, one of them has Downs syndrome so I wouldnt say its trendy myself, I continued to complete my family I figured just go for it and get it done while Im young so that by the time they are older I will still have my youth.. Now it didnt start that way I didnt want to have any children at all until I was in my mid to late 30's I figured.
You dont have to be married to have children, that is one thing I hate to hear, honestly, I am judged everyday for having three kids, and now even more so because of my daughters downs syndrome, Im blamed for beinng young and automatically said to have done drugs which defected my child. Thats not the case I have never done any drugs while pregnant but just because Im young people think thats what all young people do.
okay I babbled
I think a lot of couples may plan to have the children without marriage, from what I heard, marriage can ruin things before a baby comes and then creates a broken home for the child, This is not my opinion this is what a few friends have said to me. All my friends have children and are single or in a on off relationship and they love it they can still be young and free and have their family.
I think that it can be an accident or often times it just plam irresponsibility. today most of the people have their children and then get married and then get divorced. I always thought you were to get married and then have your children.
Whether people are planning it or not, I have to say that after having my baby, I couldn't IMAGINE doing it without a loving husband by my side to help me and father the baby. It is SO much work and takes a lot of love. It would also be sad not to have someone to share the exciting, adorable, heartfelt moments with your partner.
I hope the father of your baby is around. If not, you will sadly feel a void and so will your child. I wish you all the best!
i know that i had my lil ones (now 9 week old twins) before my husband and i were married (just got married 2 weeks ago). it was unplanned, but we were engaged. like you i was on birth control, but like my husband says he just has super sperm. lol i think that they are more of a case of accidents. but in some cases, irresponsibility. such as when you see these 14 year olds getting pregnant, which in my opinion is just plain horrible!!!!! that is them being irresponsible and wanting to grow up too fast, and before they are ready to do so. i am 21, dated him for 2 years before we were engaged for a year.
i dont think that have a child together is the reason to get married, think that you have to have more than that to make a marriage work, and always said that when i did get married i wouldnt get a divorce because of my children.
Im not married but have been with my boyf for 3 1/2 years so i feel like im married! Im 6 weeks pregnant with our first baby and dont plan to get married for awhile. Bubs was a welcome accident...But I dont see him/her as a reason to get married.
Some peoople plan on their children but a lot of them don't. This even happens with married couples. Both of my daughters were unplanned. I was on two different types of birth control with each of them and still got pregnant. Their father and I weren't married at the time either of our daughters were concieved. We're married now and actually planning on baby number three.I also think that having children out of wedlock is becoming more of a trend. society is a lot more accepting of unwed mothers these days. My mom got pregnant with me 22 years ago. At that time she had to run off with my father to get married so she wasn't shunned by the people in their small town. My husband and I got married when we wanted to, not because I was pregnant. As long as the baby has two loving parents, I don't see a problem with it; planned or unplanned.
in most cases, i think it is irresponsibility. most of them can't afford to raise a child and their parents or the taxpayers end up footing the bill. of course there are some that have jobs and money, but just don't like the idea of marriage. but i'd guess they are in the minority.
This is why i support abortions
mayb the condoms were bad.
prevention is better than cure
get that guy to b a good father, cos everybody can have a baby, but not every guy can b a father.
then, attend Church more often and know the Lord
They're not planning at all! Who needs to plan anything when you have Heat, Food, Clothes and a TV? You seem to be an exception, in a good way, who just got unlucky.
Congratulations anyway.
And what Anne C said! 60% best answers! WOW!
It is totally irresponsible and very bad for the children. A child deserved to have 2 committed parents who have saved and planned for his birth. He needs a secure home and a pair of loving married parents.
There is one sure way of not getting pregnant.You see alot more couples having babies before marriage, would you say they are planning it this way?

Why do some gay couples call each other ';partners'; and not boyfriend/girlfriend?
Because sometimes my partner isn't my boyfriend or girlfriend.Why do some gay couples call each other ';partners'; and not boyfriend/girlfriend?
I call my partner ';partner'; to refer to a long term based relationship. I hesitate to use the term ';girlfriend'; because of the bad stigma it carries. Partner, to me, sounds much more emotionally connected.Why do some gay couples call each other ';partners'; and not boyfriend/girlfriend?
I don't know.
It sounds gay. I REALLY hate it when people do that, it adds fuel to the fire of homophobes.
We need them to realize they're just like us.
I use, girlfriend, spouse, wife, friend.
:D So yeah
I regard partner as the word to describe the other person in a long term relationship. boyfriend sounds like its either new or temporary
Some straight couples call each other ';partner'; too (mainly UK, sometimes Canada, never heard an American do this).
Should I ever find myself in a LTR, I would not use partner or boyfriend, I would use a term I got from a good book I read...Lifemate.
Sounds more passionate.
I would say partner if I don't want to out myself in front of certain people.
wait wat
well no one is the same we are all different :)

To all the married couples: what were the deciding factors on how many children to have?
A combination of finances (better to have one child who we can provide for properly than two that would have to go without), age gap (between work commitments etc how close together could we have them, would they get on that age apart) and experience with our first child. I strugeld quite badly with PND and don't think I could go through it all again. Those were the deciding factors. Before I had my daughter I wanted two, now I think we'll stick at one.To all the married couples: what were the deciding factors on how many children to have?
The first one came along.....then the second one came along and when you have two ...they fight and argue all the time and that was the deciding factor to stop right there. LOLTo all the married couples: what were the deciding factors on how many children to have?
I have always wanted 4 children. My husband informed me early on in our relationship that he wanted to have 1 - 2. We discussed children when we were engaged, and decided that 2 is a good number. 4 is tough on emotions, time, and finances. Yet, I would love to have more than 2!

As many as you want or as many you can care for comfortably I don't think there should be a limit if you are able to take care of them.
how many Black Russian Cocktails I had drunk!!!
On a serious note, after having one looking at the fact if I could afford another one and give the same amount of time and attention to anymore.
After three children of my own, and two step children my partner and I agreed that he should go for the snip. (I had offered to get sterilised but he decided that this was probably going to be more detrimental to my health, hormones, etc than the snip would be on him). I know he would have wanted more and there are times when I think yeah I would have had more babies but hello, reality check, we just couldn't afford them and would it be kind to bring in extra babbys with both parents stressed out with the ones we already have. Its hard work and doesn't get easier so the best idea was what we did. I do still get soooooooo broody though!!!!
Well that all depends on the couples. My daughter had a boy and then had a girl, and she stopped. So when the kids get older she will still be young enough to enjoy her life, and be a good grandmother.
But in the case for example if one has a girl then a boy is the same, but if you have two boys and want to try for a girl then fine. but if it is another boy then I would stop.
I think having a boy and a girl would be the best set.
And having no more than three kids, and please do it in a hurry close together, so that you can enjoy them while you are young, and still have them grown and time to enjoy them.
We have made a preliminary decision based on how many children we think we can afford and still have the quality of life that we want. We have decided that we would like 3-4 children (but we would also be happy with 1 or 2). I guess we will wait to see how it is with the 1st and 2nd child (ttc #1) and then possibly revise our decision. I think its an ongoing thing more than a definite decision right now.
I came into the marrage with a child and we started trying right away. Now I have 2, the youngest is almost 4. Lately we have sat down to talk about more. We have looked at space in our home, money now VS money for school stuff (clothes, felidtrips ect), money for college. Then we asked ourselfs if we want to go though it all again. ALthough we love our kids, do we really want to stay up all night, do the diaper thing again, and we are almost at the point were we can have a life again. We decided that 2 was enough for us.
Hope that this helped you.
The first one came along.....then the second one came along and when you have two ...they fight and argue all the time and that was the deciding factor to stop right there. LOLTo all the married couples: what were the deciding factors on how many children to have?
I have always wanted 4 children. My husband informed me early on in our relationship that he wanted to have 1 - 2. We discussed children when we were engaged, and decided that 2 is a good number. 4 is tough on emotions, time, and finances. Yet, I would love to have more than 2!
the cost of a Harley
As many as you want or as many you can care for comfortably I don't think there should be a limit if you are able to take care of them.
how many Black Russian Cocktails I had drunk!!!
On a serious note, after having one looking at the fact if I could afford another one and give the same amount of time and attention to anymore.
After three children of my own, and two step children my partner and I agreed that he should go for the snip. (I had offered to get sterilised but he decided that this was probably going to be more detrimental to my health, hormones, etc than the snip would be on him). I know he would have wanted more and there are times when I think yeah I would have had more babies but hello, reality check, we just couldn't afford them and would it be kind to bring in extra babbys with both parents stressed out with the ones we already have.

Do yew think gay couples should adopt a child?
Yes, they should not be treated differently.Do yew think gay couples should adopt a child?
of course. anybody who says that gay people can't be good parents are idiots. some straight parents abuse and beat their children, so should they not be allowed to have kids? the sad but true truth is that some straight parents are good parents, some are terrible. some gay parents are great parents, and some are terrible.
isn't it better for a kid to have two loving gay moms or dads than two unhappy straight parents?
and people who say that a kid needs a mom and a dad are idiots. how about single parents? should they not be allowed to adopt?
and, lastly, think about the kids. there are millions of homless children out there who have no food or families. would they not be happier with gay parents than no parents?
if nothing else, it is for the children who need families. gay parents are better than no parents.Do yew think gay couples should adopt a child?
Absolutely not. The whole point about gays is that they reject the kind of sex which can lead to birth. As they do not produce children they should not be selected to take care of them.
Also children are most influenced by the adults who take care of them, usually their parents. As children will tend to accept the values shown to them by their parents they should be given an example which is likely to steer them towards a normal family life with children of their own.
Firstly, I think YOU should learn how to spell the word 'you'. You make yourself look idiotic when you spell in slang.
Secondly, yes of course gay couples should adopt. No one deserves to be told they are not allowed to have a family and the fact that this state thinks they can get away with telling Homosexual couples that they can not marry is DISGUSTING. If something like adoption comes up on the ballot next, Im moving.
Gay Parents is Better than No Parents!
It's fine! I've seen it alot, it doesn't really affect a child's mentality or sexuality to be raised by a same-sex couple, no more that a straight couple do. Let's not forget it was only straight couples who abbandoned those poor babbies in the first place.
If they provide a loving and educational home- yes.
There are so many kids that need family's. A typical nuclear family is not always the ideal it's made out to be.
If anyone can provide care for a child, they should be allowed to.
Yes, but I think the parents who give their kids up should specify if they do not want their kid to have gay parents. Just my opinion. . .
yes... most of them are better at parenting then most straight couples...
No, as they need both a mom and a dad.
Of course. Anyone can be a good parent.
Yeah, why not?
If they feel like it, why not?
depends if they want one
yes i do-they can be just as good as a man and woman if not better

Question for all couples 10 easy points?
do you make out with your boyfriend /gf everytime you see him her? llike long making out in the back of the car or long kisses??i see him every once a weekQuestion for all couples 10 easy points?
HELL YEA!!! i see my man once a month :P thats awesomee!!! OMG OMG yay me :DQuestion for all couples 10 easy points?
if uonly see him 1ce a week then like every 2 or 3 times u see him
because unless u 2 have been together for like a realy realy long time i would be kinda weird if u make out all the time
you can if you and him feel in the mood but if u or him arnt realy wanting to make out,
a soft peck on the lips will sufice
Not really. When we first started going out (about 2 years ago) we used to do it all the time! But now its just more relaxed and its not a big deal. We have long kisses often but we hardly ever 'make out' if you know what I mean. Why you ask?
I've been with my boyfriend over 2 years and we still make out, maybe not every single time, but we definitely kiss everytime we see each other. Kissing is essential, but not back of the car make out style kisses.
can never resist the temptation...lol...but back of the car only sometimes...like when we are totally desparate...
Yes, I talk to him everyday. Kiss? If it was physically possible yes I would, but we live so very far apart.
I kiss him whenever I can, But Im sure not to over do it so that my friends dont get mad.
Depends on who is around. If we're alone, then usually yes. Not often when there is company
For me it is vital as breath itself. I love my husband to bits.
Yes. And i live with my boyfriend so its 24/7 long kisses or making out. heheehehehe....
Yes.
make out most of the time. But mostly just a hi! kiss, or something.
yess.
nope
yes

How long are couples usually engaged?
My boyfrine wants to know when I want to get engaged....then married.. We are both in college and want to graduate frist before marriage, but I don't mind being engaged to him and only him!!!How long are couples usually engaged?
Some couples will get married within the same year they were engaged.Some prefer to be engaged and hold off marriage until obligations are fully met--such as school,careers or financial reasons or to sort things out.You do not have to be married right away.In fact,you could be engaged for 10+ years before you get married.Being with your future fiance/boyfriend is all worth while.
Good luck!
I was engaged for 4 years until I finally tied the knot this yearHow long are couples usually engaged?
I'd say a year engagement is probably standard because of wedding planning. A lot of halls are booked up a year in advance, so if you want to get the day you want, you have to get it way ahead of time.
engagement length??????????my wife and i were married within a month of meeting each other twenty five happy years ago!
a year..
Tell him what you just said right here. that you love him and you want to marry him after you graduate that way he can know you only want to be with by wearing a ring and you can set a date up now even if it is 3 years away. 3 years goes by fast.
1 -2 years
It depends on the couple. There is nothing wrong with a long engagement. In fact that gives you more time to figure things out!

IN whats ways is it discrimination by not allowing gay couples to adopt?
by saying everyone else can but gay people can'tIN whats ways is it discrimination by not allowing gay couples to adopt?
It's discrimination when a person's sexuality is the only reason for not allowing them the opportunity to adopt. The legal adult I choose as my mate has no bearing on my ability to raise a child.IN whats ways is it discrimination by not allowing gay couples to adopt?
Because they are not allowing them to adpoted strictly on their sexual orientation rather than the home environment.
I'm less concerned with the rights of gay couples to adopt than with the right of children to be raised by a loving couple as opposed to being raised in an institution. This shouldn't be a ';gay rights'; issue, it should be a child welfare issue.
everyone else can....that's usually and indicator
A gay couple can be just as loving and caring as a heterosexual couple. Children just need a family environment to be brought up in, and a gay couple, male or female, can provide that sort of parental care a child needs.cosmetics stores

What is the current divorce percentage among U.S. married couples?
At one point I had heard it was over 50%. Can anyone confirm this statement or provide a factual percentage? Thank you.What is the current divorce percentage among U.S. married couples?
It's lower than that but the divorce rate for FIRST marriages is at or above 50%.What is the current divorce percentage among U.S. married couples?
The problem is that it's not really tracked, and since every state handles their own marriages, it's not reported consistently. Here are some articles that suggest the figure is closer to one-third. Still not great, but much better than a 50/50 shot. These are long but well worth reading!

Can young unmarried couples be successful with a baby?
Can young unmarried couples be successful with a baby? Does money tear them apart? Hopes? Dreams? Career?Can young unmarried couples be successful with a baby?
No. Children need the security and stability of being born into a married home.Can young unmarried couples be successful with a baby?
What is most important is that the couple has a STRONG relationship base, a financial support system, and support for each other.
A kid, especially in the first 3 months, just sucks the life right out of you. If a couple DOESN'T have that strong relationship base AND communication skills, they are going to fail. That goes for any couple, married or not.
Depends on the maturity level of the couple. When you have a baby, that is tons of responsibility for 18 yrs. plus. Best to be married, and that committment before having a baby.
What is stopping you from marrying? Children do best in stable families with a mother, and a father.. joined in a solid bond as husband and wife.
It's possible for a girlfriend and boyfriend to have a child, but if you want to put that child in the best environment so that he/she can thrive.. go ahead and get married.
Think about how it sounds to a child to hear his/her father introduce his/her mother as, ';... and this is my girlfriend...';
No offense or hard feelings I hope. Good luck!
You can still be successful provided that someone is there for your child. Grandparents provide for the saftey and love when a parent has to go to work. If you have that kind of support from your parents then I don't see why not. So yes you can still be successful provided the children needs meet by nuturing them.
no
they should be married
if they dont want the baby to be a bastard im sorry to say
and if they are not married
the baby;s father can leave much easier
I read an article recently stating that the divorce rate for couples w/ college degree is a lot less than those who are less educated...because people who went to college usually make more money.
Young, old, married, unmarried, I have seen it all around me. The woman does 80% of the child raising and the man complains that hes not getting enough sex/attention
If the people really love each other and share the same goals in life, then yes they can make it. Career, hopes, dreams, money all of that can tear a marriage apart too. I will say though that being married makes you think twice about ending it if times do get hard and marriage does have its benefits both emotionally and financially.
well may i ask why you are asking this did you do something you are not supposed to do. plz email me back at kittenkittenrules@yahoo.com

What things are couples looking for in their holiday?
it's for my homeworkWhat things are couples looking for in their holiday?
I really think it depends on age and perspective.
Young people would usually go for a very relaxing holiday, with possibly a beach and a few ';interesting sites'; to visit, if they wanted to, but not too much. Then there are those who enjoy something special, something more cultural or adventorous, like a visit to Rome or Florence, or some hiking in the Alps, or pony trekking... And then there are those who would do anything for an out of this world vacation, seeing something like the wild life in Alaska or Africa, climbing the tops of Nepal, even the Everest...
Many choices, but all down to what you want to experience, as a couple!
Edit: and it obviously depends on the couple's relationship, how much time they want to spend together doing things they both like. Some may be wanting to increase their tan without much ';couple'; communication. Others may want a really interesting time and special memories to cherish later? I wonder what happens when the two don't meet?

My husband got his W2 already, and we were wondering if we have to wait for my w2 to come, or can we file seperatly?Can a married couple file taxes seperatley?
You lose a lot of benefits if you file separately, but you CAN do this. Typically though, it's financially advantageous to file jointly unless your accountant or tax pro gives you a specific, compelling reason to file separately.
Generally speaking, without knowing your particular situation, I'd advise you to be patient and wait for the other W-2. Your employer MUST have it to you by January 31.Can a married couple file taxes seperatley?
Yes,but you might want to check on the difference in refunds both combined and seperate. You can estimate that and then make your adjustments on www.taxact.com for free.
You can file ';Married-Filing Jointly'; or ';Married-Filing Separately';. Filing Jointly usually gives you a better answer.
Wait for your W2!!!!
You can; but I'd figure them both ways and make sure it makes sense to file that way instead of just waiting to get the most back, not the fastest back
You may file separately but only one can claim head of house and or dependent children if you don't have property together or joint bank acct or hold stocks or any other tangible assets jointly
Yes, you can file separately. there is a checkbox on the 1040 for 'Married filing separately'
Hope this helps!
i believe u can file seperately but if i were you i would call H%26amp;R block or Jackson Hewitt just to be sure
Wait for your W2. It is to your benefit to file jointly. And don't do a ';rapid refund';. It costs way too much. If you e-file, you'll get your refund very quickly.
You can file separately, but be warned: For most people, it's more advantageous to file jointly because you'll get a bigger joint return than you would if you filed separately, even if you combined your respective returns. The only exception to this rule is households where the income of one or both persons exceeds $80,000.00 a year -- in that case, it might (and I stress the word MIGHT) be better to file separately.
You get a better refund if you file jointly.
It also makes it easier to do deductions when you file joint than opposed to filing separately.
If you use turbotax, you can go ahead and plug in his W2 info and put your in once you get it.

What is the difference between a flexible coupling and a torsionally flexible coupling?
I am looking for a coupling to attch an electric jack to a gearbox. The shaft from the gearbox and jack is keyed.
I have been told I need a flexible coupling.
Could someone please explain in what way a flexible coupling is flexible and the difference between a flexible coupling and a torsionally flexible coupling.
Please keep it simple!
ThanksWhat is the difference between a flexible coupling and a torsionally flexible coupling?
a flexible coupling is a ';bendy'; shaft and allows for misalignment of shafts. As it bends it is often (but not always) possible to slot the coupling in when you will be wanting drive, and disconnect it when you are not. Long flexible couplings are much like brake cables, but instead of the inner cable being pulled, it is rotated. They function much like a pipe/cable, but for shaft power, rather than pneumatic power.
A torsionally flexible coupling, Is bit more difficult to explain, but it main purpose is to prevent shock loadings crossing the coupling, they can usually cope with a small amount of misalignment. It's not good to run them with lots of misalignment as they'll usually overheat/deteriorate. They are formed from two metal discs, which are joined by a lump of rubber. When drive is fed to one metal disc, the rubber starts to bend, which exerts a force on the disc, which then outputs torque. In many ways the rubber functions as spring/damper, but instead of being for linear motion, it works for rotary motion.
If you want the jack to be be able to be moved around freely (well within a certain radius) without needing to move the gearbox, you'll be looking at a flexible coupling/shaftWhat is the difference between a flexible coupling and a torsionally flexible coupling?
You do need some form of flexible coupling for this application.
You'll have one of these close by they'll supply all the bits that you need, I'm sure. Look in power transmission%26gt; Couplings.

My husband wants to stop couples therapy, I think it's the only place where I can communicate.?
What do I do? I am having difficulties communicating with him, that is why we see a therapist, but my husband thinks I just want to go there to argue. I feel that is the only place where I can say what is on my mind. Now he wants to stop going, how do I tell him that I want to continue? He is very convincing, always been very controlling, I am having troubles telling him how I feel. Please help me out here.My husband wants to stop couples therapy, I think it's the only place where I can communicate.?
Well it seems to me that he doesn't want to see a therapist because all he sees is his wife argue. Maybe you should of been more understanding and more calm about things and maybe he wouldn't be wanting to back out of the therapist meeting you both have. I think it would be better to just forget about the therapist you usually go and see because it makes no sense if he doesn't agree to it and you do don't even bother arguing about it and try to communicate with him at home. Maybe you have difficulties communicating cause he is maybe impatient or maybe he is ignorant but whatever the case is your going to have to deal with it by doing things differently this time. Maybe its both your fault maybe he is impatient and ignorant and you just react mad with an attitude and argue cause he is ignorant but you need to talk to him nicely and put out the rules. If he really is how i said he was then tell him if you love me then we will both cooperate by not screaming, arguing, no ignorance and try to be patience let him talk and when he finish then you talk and no interrupting. You going to have to speak up and stop thinking you cant communicating cause you can you just have to find ways to do it. If you've done everything in your power to have a decent conversation and it doesn't work then try counseling or therapy. Good luckMy husband wants to stop couples therapy, I think it's the only place where I can communicate.?
The heck with him----go yourself. It will help you stand up to him and figure out what you want to do. Who needs to be controlled? Is he your father or your partner? Continue therapy and learn to tell him how you feel.
Maybe communication is exactly what he doesn't want to do. He was happier without communication. He wants things his way, and now you're not letting him pretend that you wanted them his way too.
Think what part of therapy makes it possible to communicate and see if you could continue on your own.
Sorry, my marriage ended because my ex explicitly and clearly said that he doesn't want to communicate and he showed it in many ways too. Not much advice here.
You have deemed him controlling and noncommunicative.
You drag him to therapy so you can be ';open'; which he views as your wanting to argue?
It sounds like you need to grow some backbone and learn to tell him what you are thinking without having a paid witness.
Were I you I would figure out how to tell him your thoughts or get out while you can.
I'm thinking you will be this way with most men though.
Oh this sounds like a great relationship.....get out, move on!
I feel for you but you must be honest with yourself..why go to therapy if he does not want to go......this will get you no where...you can not go to therapy forever just to communicate. His anger will just escalate...Perhaps you need to think of moving on
If this therapist succeeds then you two should have a means of working things out. For this to happen, you have to overcome your husbands power over you. To do that you will have to resist his convincing and therefore you will not be controlled anymore. This means your husband won't get his way all the time (or as much as he likes) and will be out of his comfort zone. To borrow a phrase from a book I recently read, ';your moving his cheese';.
Of course he wants to stop this. The sooner her can stop this the less risk there is that he will loose power over you.
I have never been to counseling myself but I hear that they teach you how to better communicate. Not just during the session but skills but so you can play the home version as well. You can use these skills anywhere.
The real question you need to answer is WHY do you feel it is the only place you can say what you want?
It sounds like he has confrontation issues and doesn't want to have any more of it. The best place for you two to deal with these issues is with the counselor, and if he doesn't want to do it anymore he either wants to quit trying or wants it his way only. I think you're in a controlling relationship and should stand up for yourself. Boundries are obviously an issue here and you need to think hard on honoring what you need your boundries to be while being respectful of his.

How does this couple receive their holdback money back from a house sale?
A couple sold their principal residence (in NJ) in 2008 while residents of SC. The HUD shows the government charged a 'non resident holdback' of $10000. They should not have to pay capital gains on the sale. How do they claim this money?How does this couple receive their holdback money back from a house sale?
They get *some* of the money back when they file their SC tax return.
Many people forget that property is sourced by it's location and forget to file the other state's return. When money is withheld at time of sale, they seem to suddenly remember.How does this couple receive their holdback money back from a house sale?
If this was for income taxes a From 1099 will be issued showing the tax withheld. They'll claim that on their tax return next year and any excess will be refunded. It's highly unusual for tax to be withheld from the proceeds on the sale of a home. They must have failed or refused to complete the paperwork regarding the tax aspects of the sale or failed or refused to give their SSN when asked. Those are the only reasons that taxes would have been withheld.
I had the same problem selling a rental in California. You file a return. It is just like withholding tax from wages and is a prepayment of estimated taxes due and can be refunded if the estimate was too high.

Where can a couple of college drop outs fiind a job paying good money?
A couple of young men need to earn some money over the next six months to be able to enroll in school. Willing to do whatever it takes.Where can a couple of college drop outs fiind a job paying good money?
Remember, you are going to school to get a degree so you can find a good job. Most jobs now won't pay that much.
Try being a server or working in a restaurant. That's what I do.Where can a couple of college drop outs fiind a job paying good money?
You're probably not going to find anything that you can make more than 20k/year without a degree unless you have some sort of connection. If you've got six months, just work full-time at any local restaurant or retail store if you prefer.
I would suggest a community college which will be a lot less heavy on your wallet.
There are a ton of jobs online, research it and you will see.

What are a couple of ways to give my home some curb appeal and raise the value?
I was thinking tile on either side of the garage as well as matching that tile to a tile walkway and patio that match? Thanks for your help and pictures if possible.What are a couple of ways to give my home some curb appeal and raise the value?
Landscape the yard, and make sure all the paint looks nice....What are a couple of ways to give my home some curb appeal and raise the value?
Fresh paint, flowers, new house numbers and light fixtures. fresh cut grass
Plantings of evergreens and flowering shrubs that would match up with your tiling. I had the same problem. I wanted curb appeal. I repainted the front door and repainted the hardware that was on it. I had just remodeled the kitchen so I didn't have any money left. I'd like a new sidewalk. I 'll wait until next year. Good luck. My front door is a red with black hardware. Looks nice.
a fresh coat of paint helps and paint the front door a bright color like red works.
Landscaping, including to get the grass as green as possible. paint any railings apply tile or brass adress #'s
Live flowers - good landscaping - neatness. The tile idea is great, but expensive. Put out an American flag. Window boxes. I don't know where you live, so maybe you can't do live flowers, but with the holidays wreaths, dried corn, etc. on the front door. Mainly neat and clean.
Brass door knocker w/ brass mailbox. Brass front door light or lights. New door mat. Tiled house number (or good old brass again). Good outdoor lighting-like those automatic ones that come on at sunset. Motion detector lights.
Good Luck!!
The only thing that increases the value of your home quite honestly is upgrading the kitchen and the bathrooms....everything else does not matter....it's great to have an EP Henry patio perhaps but really people just want a really lovely kitchen and bathroom.....anything else does not really increase the value unless you've already done this.....I'm a realtor....I know!
Pay me to stand in front of it! =)

you dont have to go too elaborate. but it's pretty interesting.
The least expensive way to give curb appeal is a freshly painted door with several nice plants on each side. Adding value to a home would be extra parking or adding extra sq ft to your home. A remodeled kitchen or bath might also increase market value. People spend a lot of money maintaining their homes but it does not add value, only appeal.

When starting a couple porn sight what are the most important things to remember?
As well as what are the chances that relatives and people you know will see it?
How do you know it's a good idea for you and not just some cute idea you made up?
I am over 18.When starting a couple porn sight what are the most important things to remember?
Well if it goes on the internet theres a chance that pretty much anyone with internet access will see it.....so you might want to think of thatWhen starting a couple porn sight what are the most important things to remember?
Make sure that you keep the under 18 crowd out. And do it for money. That will keep most people out.
Put some effort into it. Moan, etc as the vast majority of your customers will be men and we men like moaners and screamers.....and hip thrusters too~!
Remember if you are naked in SIGHT of the neighbors, they will probably complain. If you mean site, The most important thing is to be good at what you do.
iiw
You have to be able to not let it bother you if someone you know sees it. Because it will happen. Best thing is to just put it out there in the open rightt off the get go.
Second thing, find a niche idea that isnt being done by a million people already.
Other than that its a pretty simple way to make some money.
If you are starting a site make sure all your models are OVER 18 - or spend the rest of your short life at rape camp.
Legal issues are the most important thing to consider. I highly suggest getting a lawyer for this.
It is very possible for others to see what you are doing. Do a search on good on this type of material and you will see your competition. Some one who happens to be a large audience is consuming this stuff. Maybe even your next door neighbor.
Get good financial advice and make sure there is real sex where the woman has an orgasm.
Make it like the 70's style porn and you will get more women watching it.
Ignore what that guy wrote about moaning and screaming. He has seen too many fake orgasms. There is already enough porn out there that caters to men. It's about time someone creates a kind of manual for some of these dullards so they can watch and say, that's how it's done!
For once, if you're serious about this. Make the sex real.
It is frustrating to watch some woman moaning and grinding and you can tell that the guy is lousy so you wonder, why is she faking it?

Should gay couples not be allowed to kiss in public?
or should they?
What do you think about this?Should gay couples not be allowed to kiss in public?
I personally don't believe in public displays of affection, but I don't think there should be a law banning it. But, if there is a law banning gay people from kissing in public, then there also needs to be a law banning straight people from kissing in public. Can't treat one differently than another.Should gay couples not be allowed to kiss in public?
I don't see any reason why ordinances concerning public display of affection should be gender specific, age specific, religion specific etc. Either it is acceptable for two people to kiss in public or it is not; the religion, age, or gender of the people is not relevant. If you are ';shocked'; at the idea of old couples, intergenerational or interfaith couples, or same sex couples publicly engaging in such mild activities as kissing and hand holding, then I suggest that you need to get out more.
it probably didn't get posted cuz it's a stupid question. There's no place in the US where people cannot kiss freely---unless you are in pubic school and on certain university campuses where ';zero tolerance'; rules insist that physically touching others could lead to sexual harassment. No kidding--public schools across the US do this--and it's based on ';liberal'; thinking too!
I could really care less, a guy giving another guy a kiss in public has absolutely no effect on my life whatsoever,,,,in fact, I can think of about a million of other problems that that are far more important than that,,,,this is a non issue.
Where do we live, Egypt circa 700AD? Of course they can. It's called freedom of expression.
Ha, TJ, you said ';pubic schools';. Probably a typo, but a great Freudian slip nonetheless, considering the topic.
I don't really want to see anyone tonguing in public whatever their sexuality, especially if I am eating.
I believe there should be a line drawn on public behavior weather it be gay or straight. A simple kiss is no problem but I don't want to see anyone making out in public.
Of course they should be allowed! That's ******* ridiculous!
Anus rangers should have all of the rights and priviledges as hetero couples.
Only if it's two hot young chicks.
Otherwise no, it's disgusting.
Yes they should Its a Public Place.
I think they should do whatever they want. But don't get offended when people gawk in disgust.
I say yes it's ok. but very different to me.
Of course. Kissing makes people happy and harms nobody.
Who cares? Its not illegal to kiss in public. Why would it be?
It is disgusting!
NOPE
I don't care
I don't see why not. A little bit of PDA never hurt anyone.
What do you think about this?Should gay couples not be allowed to kiss in public?
I personally don't believe in public displays of affection, but I don't think there should be a law banning it. But, if there is a law banning gay people from kissing in public, then there also needs to be a law banning straight people from kissing in public. Can't treat one differently than another.Should gay couples not be allowed to kiss in public?
I don't see any reason why ordinances concerning public display of affection should be gender specific, age specific, religion specific etc. Either it is acceptable for two people to kiss in public or it is not; the religion, age, or gender of the people is not relevant. If you are ';shocked'; at the idea of old couples, intergenerational or interfaith couples, or same sex couples publicly engaging in such mild activities as kissing and hand holding, then I suggest that you need to get out more.
it probably didn't get posted cuz it's a stupid question. There's no place in the US where people cannot kiss freely---unless you are in pubic school and on certain university campuses where ';zero tolerance'; rules insist that physically touching others could lead to sexual harassment. No kidding--public schools across the US do this--and it's based on ';liberal'; thinking too!
I could really care less, a guy giving another guy a kiss in public has absolutely no effect on my life whatsoever,,,,in fact, I can think of about a million of other problems that that are far more important than that,,,,this is a non issue.

How many couples are having sex per second ?
Its funny, I think about questions like that too. Looking at the skyscape of a city at night I will think, Hmm... I wonder who is doing what right now behind all those curtains. Makes me think we are on a very small planet.How many couples are having sex per second ?
How many couples can have sex per second?How many couples are having sex per second ?
I had heard that at any given moment, approximately 500,000 people are having sex.
I want to know how they determined this. A phone poll? That gets annoying and think of the bill!
None at my house.
Beats me, but I'm not because I'm answering your question. Great, now I'm one of the ones that missed out on the last 8 seconds. Do you realise I missed out on 8 different sexual encounters. Boy am I depressed, So much for a fun Saturday.
Not enough if you ask me, there's to much hate in the world. Maybe if more people made love, it would rub off onto all of the mean people, you know, like flower power.
lots... :D
I think it takes a couple of minutes to have sex... At least if you do it right it should take many minutes.
We never time our sex! but it will be much easier timing it by min. Any thing from 20 to 30 min...
lol
gosh, that most be a lot, thank you for making me think of things while my hubby is not at home. Ah Man

Couples that look alike vs couples that don't?
Which looks cuter when they are together?Couples that look alike vs couples that don't?
Couples that look alike are always kind of adorable, but in the same way that chimps dressed up in people clothes are adorable...there's a definite edge of creepy to that sort of cute. You always sort of wonder if they're secretly related, or if he's just dating her because she reminds him of his Mom, etc.
Couples who don't look alike have no novelty about them, but they're not weird, either, so I'd have to say that they're ';cuter'; in the end.Couples that look alike vs couples that don't?
Those who genuinely love each other.
