I am doing an essay for psycology and I need some ideas to get me started.
Thank you. Your help will be greatly appriciated. =]] I will give 10 pts to the 1st person who gives me a good well thought answer that will help meWhat are five things that makes a marriage successful and why?
Trust
Communication
Compatability
Patience
LoveWhat are five things that makes a marriage successful and why?
1. Trust (for one another, without trust there is no marriage)
2. Love (obvious - have to be in love w/ each other)
3. Communication (BOTH of you have to be able to express and share feelings and emotions)
4. FUN (enjoy life, have fun, be crazy - life is too short not to)
5. Being friends first (This is a must, your spouse should also be your best friend - with whom you can and do share everything!!!)
Hope that helps!
trust - if you don't have trust then there isn't that bond
love- making sure that the person your with is your true love and you have no regrets
commitment-making the person your with the only one you ever have sex with as long as your together
honesty-tell them how you feel no matter the problems that might arise because of it,, don't lie or cheat at all
Marriage is not always easy but, if you have love, trust, loyalty, understanding and honesty within each other, one will always overpowered another to keep the marriage strong.....
1) Trust, without this there's not much of a relationship
2) Honesty, you need to be able to share the good and the bad
3) Consideration and thoughtfulness, we should be able to consider each others feelings and needs in order to have compassion and love
4) Be a good listener, both of you, never be the one just ';waiting to speak';. We all have something to say but we don't all have someone to hear it.
5) Space allows individual growth and therefore widens the horizon in a relationship.
hope this helps
1-love god.2-love the other.3-honesty.4-praying together many times.5-participate all you have to do together.
without love the life will be dark.
god will be with you.
Communication is #1
Forgiving #2
Understanding #3
Self-sacrificing #4
Loyalty #5
sex,

sex,
sex,
the man doing as the woman says!!! :D
I usually prefer to go with four:
1) A long list of common interests; things you both enjoy doing TOGETHER as opposed to separate interests and separate groups of friends.
2) A lot of tolerance for each other's differences. As much as you share in common, you're still going to rub one another wrong from time to time. Be mature and deal with it. Separate the small $h!t from the serious stuff.
3) A sense of compromise; so that you can work out your problems with a minimum of emotional trauma. It's marital negotiation.
4) A sense of sympathy and forgiveness. You're both going to screw up on occasion. You need to be able to forgive, forget, and move on with the relationship.
1. LOVE - Love will make any marriage a success, because when two people fall in love, they will only want to make each other happy and because they could never be apart, the marriage will last till death do them part.
2. RESPECT - They should respect everything about they're partner. Their wishes, beliefs, abilities and intelligence.
3. TRUST - In a marriage, the couple should trust each other incredibly. They should always be reliable, responsible and true to each other.
4. HONEST - Always sincere, genuine and very open with each other. Never cheating, stealing, or lying.
5. COMMUNICATION - Married couples should be very understanding and very compatible when they communicate. Communication will let them know each other inside and out, mentally, emotionally and physically.
1. Honesty - Because if you are not honest with your partner and they find out.. they have a hard time trusting you again and that puts a strain on your marriage, because they don't know when to believe you and when not.
2. Trust - Always stay true to your partner. There will always be someone else who will pay you attention, but you leave who you are with or cheat and it will ruin a good relationship. THe grass isn't always greener on the other side.
3. Laughter - You need to laugh with and at each other..
4. Love - Of course love.. without love what is there.
5. Friendship.. you need to be able to communicate with your partner and be very open, that way if there is a problem you can talk about it and resolve it.
Good luck on your essay!
1. Communication
2. Trust
3. Compassion
4. Patience
5. Love
1)honesty
2)trust
3)communication
4)commitment
5)chemistry
Because without even one of these the rest will eventually fall apart, each one depends on the other to keep your marriage strong and successful. they're all pretty close to each other but to me those are the things i would look for before getting married

What can American society do to prevent marriage fraud in this country?
by just allowing marriage within american society..no outsiders ...at least not indians..What can American society do to prevent marriage fraud in this country?
USCIS know when the marriage is a fraud, and they will be in problems bigggggggggg problems. It happens with alot of Puertoricans, because they charge to their relatives something like us15.000. I don't think this is a good deal getting marry with a dirty people and also paying... EWUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!. Americans Americans are more smart and clever and I don't think they will get marry for money.What can American society do to prevent marriage fraud in this country?
simple--- make sure that the couples stay married a minimum of 15 years and share the same residence
and close the loophole known as THE VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN'S ACT that is now in place
cuz all that is needed for women who are committing marriage fraud against their husbands and the government are ALLEGATIONS -- the husband does not even have to be convicted for the female to gain entry to the states when using this method
mizzhollywood28 said ';stop illegal Mexicans';. WOW! and she really shows her colors, and probably think that Mexicans are the only people comitting marriage fraud.

2 Neb. couples charged with marriage fraud
The U.S. Attorney's Office in Omaha says 35-year-old Shane Schutte of Cozad and 41-year-old Maria del Sagrario Schutte of Lexington face six counts, including marriage fraud and fraud in filing immigration documents.
http://www.wcpo.com/news/local/story/8-P鈥?/a>
Eight Greater Cincinnati area residents have pleaded guilty Friday to a large scale scheme that arranged fake marriages to help aliens illegally stay in the United States.
The ten defendants involved arranged marriages between Eastern European aliens and U.S. citizens from August 2005 to August 2008, according to a news release from ICE.
American can conduct regular checks with the relevant authorities in determining their marital status.Moreover, any irregularities should be reported with immediate effect.
Seeing as how it is so hard to get a visa for your spouse now, I would say nothing.
It works both ways. I know a few Americans who have married Europeans in order to get citizenship so they could live in all 27 EU countries. In exchange the European could get visa to the USA.
when will the insanity stop
Well for one thing crack down on illegal Mexicans.

I filed jointly with my boyfriend but didnt know that counts as common law marriage? What do I do to fix this?
I dont want to be married to him and dont want to have a divorce on my ';record'; or whatever. Pleeeease help.I filed jointly with my boyfriend but didnt know that counts as common law marriage? What do I do to fix this?
Why would you file jointly with him and name him as your husband on a legal document like a tax return?
I digress. Consult a family law attorney. And file an amended return, while you are at it, if you want to avoid problems with the IRS.

How do Chrisitan based Democrats reconcile Gay marriage?
Several Christian Democratic politicians support gay marriage. How can this be when it contradicts their faith. It's their choice, I'm curious how they reconcile this belief.How do Chrisitan based Democrats reconcile Gay marriage?
It is because they understand that marriage is not just a religious ceremony, it is also a legal contract. Just because politicians agree to allow 2 same sex people to join in that legal contract it does not mean that they want to force churches to perform the religious ceremony.
Even if same sex marriage is legal, churches do not have to perform them, it would be a civil ceremony performed by a JP.How do Chrisitan based Democrats reconcile Gay marriage?
When did Jesus ever say two gay people can't get married?
They have enough respect for the separation of church and state to realize that passing laws that enforce their own religious doctrine is nothing less than theocratic law.
If you like theocratic law maybe you should try living in one of those countries in the Middle East for a while and then see how much you like it.
Edit - People are entitled to practice what ever religious (or non-religious) beliefs that they so choose per the 1st amendment free exercise clause.
People are also entitled to be free from some other religion imposing their religious doctrine in the government as theocratic law per the 1st amendment establishment clause.
To support laws that enforce religious doctrine is to support the unconstitutional theocratic laws that some of our politicians are pushing and thus constitutes pushing your own religious doctrine on people that do not follow your particular religious belief.
There is no cause in this nation that is greater than the constitution's protection of every citizen's rights.
But you are correct, if your faith impairs your ability to do your job, you should get another job.
Some people have the ability to keep their faith and their occupation separated when their occupation requires it, some people do not.
For example:
A pharmacist that refuses to dispense whatever due to his/her religious beliefs can at times put people's lives in jeopardy and thus should automatically loose their license due to the fact that they have demonstrated that they are unable to perform the duties required by their occupation.
A politician that cannot keep their religious beliefs separate from their legislation should be removed from office due to the fact that they have demonstrated that they will not uphold the constitution per their oath of office with respect to the 1st amendment establishment clause.
Actually it is easy to do. Read 1 Corinthians chapter 5, verse 12. '; What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. Expel the wicked man from among you. '; NIV version.
Same way they reconcile themselves to whole swathes of the Bible and modern life - diet, clothing, slavery, and so forth.
Or perhaps their reading of the Bible recognises what the bits that are claimed to be about homosexuality are actually about so their faith doesn't give them a moment's trouble on issues of sexuality.
Being gay is not a choice. Anyone who has an ounce of education knows that.
If Christians are all knowing and accepting of others (as Christ was), they would know that what 2 consenting, people do, in the privacy of their own lives, is their business. Not yours, not your neighbors, or anyone else's.
I'm a Christian and I believe Christ would be pleased that I love my neighbors, gay and straight. They have hurt no one.
I am not the target audience of choice as I do not claim to be christian but a pagan nor am I American so I can't be called a Democrat
But -
The mariages of persons is not the business of the State it is a private contractual arrangement between persons
The job of the State is to enforce agreements made that are lawful in civil or criminal courts not to define what agreements can or should be entered into such as marriage
The chrurch has no place in government - the job of the government is to represent the will of the people - not to interfere and define them
A paid employee of the State such as a President gets his pay check from the same place a welfare reciepient does - the tax payer
As such the employee should be mindful and careful before voting his or her consious as that is irelavant compared to the peoples wishes and so on
If their faith christian muslim jewish prevents them from representing the will of the people they should quit and find alternative work asap
They understand what belongs to them and what belongs to their God.
Although sprcpt's answer was excellent and hits the mark, I can't resist being drawn into the religious argument. How does understanding and compassion for fellow human beings, gay or straight, contradict the Christian faith? Where in the Bible does it say that Jesus was a judgemental, dogmatic, ****** right winger who felt he had the right to ram his beliefs down everyone else's throats? Jesus preached a message of love, tolerance and humility. I doubt he was a big proponent of prostitution as an occupation, but he treated prostitutes like human beings who needed his compassion and understanding as much as those in other lines of work. On a personal level, they reconcile it by actually listening to and following Jesus' teachings, which include tolerance for diversity. They don't put words in his mouth and use him as a figurehead for their own political agendas. On a professional and political level, as the previous comment so eloquently pointed out, they have enough respect for separation of church and state to actually keep them separate.
I know...it is an oxy moron!!! Quite funny!

How do you handle conflict in your marriage?
please help how do you handle conflict in your marriage i need help me and my husband just got married and all we do is fight how do i handle the fightsHow do you handle conflict in your marriage?
A relationship without conflict is no relationship at all.
You should both deal with your conflict with all of the love and respect that brought you together. Couples who can't find a way to have loving conflict don't stay together very long.How do you handle conflict in your marriage?
Calm, open dialogue. That's the only way to resolve conflict and stay together. Try not to get defensive and attack back when your husband says something hurtful or angry. Tell him, ';it hurts me when you say that'; and explain (calmly) why. And ask him, ';what is it that makes you feel that way?'; If you can start talking and express that the last thing you want to do is fight and hurt each other's feelings, you can work this out.
Preventing marriage fraud tips:
-Avoid marrying someone that is an illegal immigrant. It can be hard to know if they are with you or the green card.
-Never co-sign a锘?credit card/car with your lover.
-Avoid mixing any finances together.
Consider yourself warned.

She throws plates. I restrain her until she has calmed down. I clean up the mess. We bring the discussion to our marriage counselor (MC). The MC listens to us talk, asks us a few questions, and gives us some reading material. We both read what he gave us and learn to improve our thinking and behavior.
You need to see a marriage counsler. You have to find the cause of your fights and work towards a resolution.
I don't agree with going to church at all but if you are into that sort of thing they have free counseling at some churches.
Good luck.
Evaluate what you are arguing about. Is it worth it?? Sometimes in a marriage you must compromise. You don't have to be right all the time. Change it around, be positive and his attitude will change too. Good luck!
Damn just married and already fighting constantly?
Did you evaluate this relationship at all or dive in head first
I would say this new in the stage and always fighting it's time to either A) get some counseling or B) move along
boxing gloves in most sports shops (Y)
best thing to do is to hide your feelings and ignore each other

Elton John believes in civil unions, but not gay marriage
He doesn't understand why people are fighting over the word 'marriage'...Civil unions give them the same rights and benefits
I agree with Elton John
Wiccans and Pagans don't use the word 'marriage', because that's a Christian concept...They use the word 'Handfasting'...Certainly not ALL gay people are Christians, so why are they fighting to use that word?...It's ridiculousAre there any gays oppose to gay marriage?
I'm not opposed to gay marriage. That said, I do not want to be married. As far as I'm concerned, marriage is a hetero thing. Let the straights have their failed institutions, I've got better things to do...

Is it too late to make a marriage license?
Me and my husband was married in 2004 in our cultural tradition but never thought of getting a marriage license until now just because our religion doesn often get marriage license. Is it too late?Is it too late to make a marriage license?
Applying for a marriage license doesn't automatically make it legal. It's just an application. You then need to be married by an Officiant who signs the license after the ceremony (along with you, your spouse, and a witness) and sends it off to be recorded by the Court. Is it too late to make a marriage license?
Well if your in America then you need a marriage license to be married whether you were married by a pastor, priest, or judge. It's the law. You can just pay for the license and have it signed by a judge stating he wedded you, it's kinda like eloping. Anyway, you need to have one regardless.
You will have to be remarried by someone qualified to do marriages. States don't recognize ';cultural tradition';. Check with the court clerk's office at your local courthouse. You can't go get a marriage license after you're married.
No you just need to got and get married again by the civil court it cost you like $120.00 this price is in california.
you will get copy the same day and a certificate in a few weeks by mail.
In the USA a marriage is not legal without a license.
I don't think so

What was the reason for Muhammad's marriage to Aisha bint Abi Bakr?
Can you provide sources, please?
Thank you.What was the reason for Muhammad's marriage to Aisha bint Abi Bakr?
This is the closest thing I could find to a ';reason';
Narrated 'Aisha:
Allah's Apostle said to me, ';You were shown to me twice (in my dream) before I married you. I saw an angel carrying you in a silken piece of cloth, and I said to him, 'Uncover (her),' and behold, it was you. I said (to myself), 'If this is from Allah, then it must happen.' Then you were shown to me, the angel carrying you in a silken piece of cloth, and I said (to him), 'Uncover (her), and behold, it was you. I said (to myself), 'If this is from Allah, then it must happen.''; (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 87, Number 140; see also Number 139)What was the reason for Muhammad's marriage to Aisha bint Abi Bakr?
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) married Lady Aisha (may God bless her soul) at a young age in order to train her closely to all the teachings of Islam needed in the daily life of a Muslim, then being young, she'd be able to live long enough after the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) dies to transfer those teachings to another generation which didn't attend the life of the Prophet, and this is what actually happened.
However, some non-Muslims think he married her when she was still a child, and this is totally incorrect.
Girls at hot-weathered countries grow up faster than girls in colder weather, I myself have an aunt who became an adult lady at the age of 9 years old.
Hence, prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) married Lady Aisha (may God bless her soul) - who was the daughter of his best friend, neighbor and first believer Abu Bakr - at the age of 6 years old (after a revelation from God to do so), but she stayed at her parents place and they didn't start any marital relations before she was a fully grown up adult lady (and this happened to be at the age of 9 years old for her) and moved in with him, and this sort of postponed marriage to young ladies was common at the time.
Aisha (may Allah bless her soul) was the only virgin prophet Muhammad ever married (all the others were widows or divorcees) and she did live long enough after he passed away (peace be upon him) and transfered a lot of knowledge to both men and women about many aspects including directions for handling intimate details of daily life.

how important is that in your life ?
Thank you.What was the reason for Muhammad's marriage to Aisha bint Abi Bakr?
This is the closest thing I could find to a ';reason';
Narrated 'Aisha:
Allah's Apostle said to me, ';You were shown to me twice (in my dream) before I married you. I saw an angel carrying you in a silken piece of cloth, and I said to him, 'Uncover (her),' and behold, it was you. I said (to myself), 'If this is from Allah, then it must happen.' Then you were shown to me, the angel carrying you in a silken piece of cloth, and I said (to him), 'Uncover (her), and behold, it was you. I said (to myself), 'If this is from Allah, then it must happen.''; (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 87, Number 140; see also Number 139)What was the reason for Muhammad's marriage to Aisha bint Abi Bakr?
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) married Lady Aisha (may God bless her soul) at a young age in order to train her closely to all the teachings of Islam needed in the daily life of a Muslim, then being young, she'd be able to live long enough after the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) dies to transfer those teachings to another generation which didn't attend the life of the Prophet, and this is what actually happened.
However, some non-Muslims think he married her when she was still a child, and this is totally incorrect.
Girls at hot-weathered countries grow up faster than girls in colder weather, I myself have an aunt who became an adult lady at the age of 9 years old.
Hence, prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) married Lady Aisha (may God bless her soul) - who was the daughter of his best friend, neighbor and first believer Abu Bakr - at the age of 6 years old (after a revelation from God to do so), but she stayed at her parents place and they didn't start any marital relations before she was a fully grown up adult lady (and this happened to be at the age of 9 years old for her) and moved in with him, and this sort of postponed marriage to young ladies was common at the time.

how important is that in your life ?
Do I need to have a register marriage if I have a Nikah done?
Im not to sure and very confused, i am getting married in June.. and live in the UK, do i have to get the register marriage done first then a nikah?Do I need to have a register marriage if I have a Nikah done?
Yes you do. Suppose to follow the laws of the land if they do not contradict islam. Otherwise leave. This law doesn't conflict with islam.
The order doesn't' really matter. Most of the imams i've met in the U.S. want the legal marriage done before they will do the nikah. I've met some that are certified to conduct legal marriages....so they can do both at the same time.
Its at the discretion of whoever is conducting it.Do I need to have a register marriage if I have a Nikah done?
that's complicated. In Canada, if you do nikkah, the imam has to register the marriage for you. So it's all done in one shot.
Apparently you can do either one first. In that case, you should consider registering first for tax purposes, etc., since (I believe) it is advantageous for income tax purposes to be married (a portion of the higher wage earning person's income can be deferred on the other spouse...I think.) Also, it can take time to adjust insurance benefits too, so if you and your future husband register your marriage, you can get added to his insurance (or vice versa, depending on who has better benefits) and then by the time you're living together, everything should be set up inshallah.
Congratulations on your upcoming marriage!
Either way around is fine but both have to be done. Even in a Muslim country such as Tunisia you still have to show you are legally married before you can rent a room together in a hotel etc.
You still have to prove you are legally married even though you are married in they eyes of Allah still we live in a world of legalities...
If u do a nikah, u r married in the eyes of your Allah and community (friends%26amp; families). but how does the law knows that ur married. what's the evidence? so u register as an evidence of ya marriage.
there is nothing unislamic about registering. u can do a nikah before u register.
Without registering, u r not legally married and this create legal problems.
I think you are a muslim when you used the word nikah, I am not a muslim but I live in an Islamic country and I know this : yes you have to get the register marriage done first before nikah and I am sure of it.
good luck
It doesn't matter which you do first, really. It's important, though, to do both, to protect the rights of both you and your spouse.

Start a Roth IRA before or after Marriage?
I'm going to get married in a few months. Neither of us have a roth IRA. We make below the cutoff salaries for single and married. Is there any benefit to starting individual ones now, or wait till we're married and have a combined one?Start a Roth IRA before or after Marriage?
IRAs are individual Retirement Arrangments. You cannot have a combined one.
Your concern should be divorce, where your spouse may be entitled to a portion of your IRA if you get a divorce.Start a Roth IRA before or after Marriage?
There is no such animal as a 'combined' one. Start a Roth whenever you feel you have the money--which seems to be when you are single.
Combined doesn't exist. You can have yours, which is also half hers, or she can have hers which will be half yours.
Common property laws stipulate that when you get married half of what you own is hers, and half of what she owns is yours. This includes debt.
Anyway, I prefer 401k over roth IRA because of the tax deduction. This especially holds true because usually your employer will match your contribution, which is essentially free money.
Start saving for retirement as soon as possible, reguardless of the route you would like to go.
I think that you should each start one now for the 2007 tax year. Then after you are married, you can continue to contribute each year after that. The sooner you start, the more you will have at retirement.

If a girl answered in French with a word sounding like 'petetra' to a marriage proposal, what did she answer?
I know, weird question, but understandably it's fairly important that I find out what word she said and I know nothing about the French language :)If a girl answered in French with a word sounding like 'petetra' to a marriage proposal, what did she answer?
peut etre...it means maybeIf a girl answered in French with a word sounding like 'petetra' to a marriage proposal, what did she answer?
On the other hand, given that you don't even know how to say ';maybe'; in *her* language, the likelihood that she even understood what *you* were saying is remote at best. I think you should stick to girls that you share at least 300 words with. You know, then you can talk and say ';I do'; and so forth.
If you mispronounced your proposal, you may have said one (or more) of the following:
- Would you like to push me?
- Would you like to put me down?
- All of you; marry me?
You may want to check by getting somebody to translate for you in real-time. Just a thought.
It probably means yes, only that you should wait a little while longer. I have this one friend who was in the same situation (weird, right?) and she answered ';peut etre,'; meaning ';ask me again later, tiger.';
Hope that helps, Mr. John Doe. ;)
one of the other answerers said this, but I figured that I would verify this....she most likely ';peut etre'; (pronounced pooh tet ruh) which means ';maybe'; in French
I speak French pretty well and I have no clue

What does religion say about sex before marriage?
All religions condemn this practice, however Christians (with bible) don't abide by it... (most not all I am sure there are a lot who do that) Specially in western countries and here in USA there are youth groups and all by you go in there and there are pregnant women there even though its not part of the religion...
Again look at Islamic people (real Islamic people) they don't do this practice..... the single mother rate in islamic countries is 1 to nothing... Pregnancy rate before marriage is 1 to nothing
too...What does religion say about sex before marriage?
The Bible (KJV) states, ';It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.'; (1 Corinthians 7:1-2) To sum all of this up- it simply means that sex is only for married people.What does religion say about sex before marriage?
The reason we find pregnant young women in youth groups is because they find forgiveness. It's not part of the religion, but forgiveness is.
Personally, I think it is a choice left up to the individual. It is between them, their partner, and God what they do with their virginity. Remember, the Bible also says that women should not cut their hair or have a say in religious/government affairs. And that we should stone people for certain offenses that are commonplace today...
It is a no go for Christianity. However, during pre-marriage counseling, we were told the reason is so that there is no emotional baggage for the spouses to deal with during the marriage. Makes sense.
The Islamic culture would not accept that; the woman would be shunned. It is not only the religion itself, but the communities.
The American culture has become more accepting, and so it happens more. Think, some middle easter countries cut off fingers of thieves, set women who have become useless on fire and stone people, as well.
Freedom does have its price.
What do you really want to know? Are you a religious person? If you are religious person, do you follow what your religion's say? or do you just want to do according to what you think is right? Or do you complain what is happening in the world?. I cannot see what your purpose of your question. Do you want to know if you want to have a sex before marriage, what is the consequences? Is it really your problem what is going on with people pregnancies?
Let me tell you what I am thinking. Some people have a religion,(for ex. christian or islam) but ignore it, because they think it is not practical or because they think why should bother by all the rules in their religion (for examples: christian or islam). And I think that people who call themselves religious, but do against what their religion tells them, then there is a doubt about their believe. Little bit of hypocrite, isn't it? You can see that religion creates problem. Actually as a person, we were born with heart which say what is right and what is wrong (without religion guides). Listen to the heart and think wisely. Sex is a part of life. Sex is a beautiful thing, specially if it is done between two grown up persons who loves each other and it is healthy to do it although they are not marriage. If someone wish to keep their pregnany (although this person is not married), that is fine. Marriage is just a certificate. But what happens with the youth who just happen to get pregnant and do not realized what they have done, as a result of not having any sex education. Sex education is better than what the religion says. So what it happens among the youth is they are ignorant (about sex education). Who cares what religion say.
About the islamic people, as you mentioned:'; real islamic people they don't do this practice'; how could you prove it?. It is just everything in islamic society ';hush'; ';hush';, but it happens all the time in any society(christian, islam or any). So do not be hypocrite!The problem is all religion is so ancient, and then if they have not done any reformation like in islam, the islam religion can never suitable with the time we live in now. Do as you believe! as I do what I believe. It doesnt' matter what the others do. So we are different.
Christians arn't perfect, just forgiven.
LMAO!!!!
Thats because women who do that, in muslim countries, are publicly executed... via death by stoning (done by men of course)
I bet you didn't know that...... heck! bet you don't even have a clue as to what ';Sharia'; is. If you did.... then you would STFU.

If I hyphenate my last name through marriage can it be just on paper and use just his last name for everything?
Say my last name is Jones and his is Doe on the marriage certificate I want it to say Jones-Doe but can I go through life with just using Doe. The same goes for our children. On the birth certificate can it say Jones-Doe but can the use just Doe though there life?If I hyphenate my last name through marriage can it be just on paper and use just his last name for everything?
Yes, you can do that. We all have lengthy legal names but seldom use the whole line of names. You can hyphenate your name and your children's names in any way you please and use whatever form of that name you wish.If I hyphenate my last name through marriage can it be just on paper and use just his last name for everything?
IMO that doesn't make sense. Just use his last name for everything and forget the hyphen names. I don't really see the point of hyphenating names in the first place.
If you are not proud enough to just use your husband's last name as your new last name I feel sorry for you.
If your gonna go as Doe, and you want your children to just go as Doe, then why go through the trouble of having Jones-Doe as a legality? Either you take his name, you hyphenate, or you keep your own, no real way to straddle the fence.
Only if you want to confuse everyone. Any legal documents you ever signed, you would have to use your full hyphenated name. That includes applications for ANYTHING, jobs, school stuff, etc. I think it would be a huge annoyance.
You should be able to do that but you will just have to watch out for documents that require your full legal name. For example banks and mortgage papers will require your full name so you would have to use the hyphenated one for things like that.
you can use either, i was married for 15 years, my legal name is hyphenated, but now I use both in a singular way depending on my mood

How to get a ';no record of marriage'; certificate in India?
To apply for a fiance visa to Australia (from Hong Kong Australia embassy), I have to supply a document saying there are no records of my marriage in India.

Why do people try to compare gay marriage to bestiality?
I know I'm not the only one who is sick of hearing this... but honestly - how can people say ';if we let gays marry, we'll have to let people marry their dogs';. Do they not realize how ridiculous they sound?! Regardless of how hurtful it is, it just makes no sense!! Those two things aren't related!Why do people try to compare gay marriage to bestiality?
the same reason people could compare gay marriage to a heterosexual one, no matter what you compare it to, whether it be a heterosexual marriage or bestiality it will have both similarities and difference. The problem is anti-gay activists will only look at the differences when comparing gay marriage to a heterosexual one.Why do people try to compare gay marriage to bestiality?
Through careful analysis and research, I have discovered the *real* origins of this frequently heard comparison. And here it is.
The verse in the Bible that Christians often misinterpret to mean that God disapproves of homosexuality is Leviticus 18:22. (KJV: ';Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.';) The very next verse, Leviticus 18:23, forbids beastiality. (KJV: ';Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.';)
Christians are just assuming that the Big Gay Conspiracy is systematically and in an orderly fashion trying to break the Levitical Law.
Leviticus 11:10 refers to says that *eating fish* is also an abomination, by the way. The exact same word as how it refers to homosexuality. So God hates people who eat fish every bit as much as he hates fags. :)
Yes, that and the ';OMG! IF U get 2 marry than the PEDOPHILES will want too!!!'; argument are probably my least favorite.
I hope they realize that, unlike two consenting adults, children and animals cannot legally enter into marriage, or any other, contract.
They like to stir up the hate and fear, even if they have to relate us to bestiality and child abuse to do it.

Because they have absolutely no GOOD arguments -- nothing rational -- against it, so they rely on emotional appeals.
Yes, it's a moronic argument that keeps cropping up. So here's a response that maybe even those people MIGHT understand --
Picture it, America in 1860 -- ';But if we free our slaves what's next? Will we have to free our farm animals too?';
Picture it, America in 1900 -- ';But if we give women the right to vote, where do we draw the line? Will we give children the right to vote? Will we give goats the right to vote?';
Then if they need more thoughts on ';where to draw the line?'; tell them to consider that every mental health organization has come to the conclusion that homosexuality is not a disorder or illness. That's where you draw the line.
I believe people try to make this comparison because they are ignorant, blinkered, scared and cannot form a coherent or logical argument against gay marriage. This lack of a logical argument could be because it makes complete sense to allow gay people to marry.
Because both bestiality and homosexuality are deviant lifestyles.
Although, Gays desperately would like to believe that they're the norm... nothing could be farther from the truth. Gays as a whole have mistaken tolerance for acceptance.
I really don't know. I think some of them probably have repressed feelings of bestiality. You'd have to have something wrong with you to think marrying a human is the same as marrying an animal.
I know. Some people are idiots. They think they're making a valid point and their proud but they can't see that it makes no sense and the world is laughing at their stupidity.
Because they're ignorant, and apparently have nothing better to do with their time!
:/
lol what to expect from ignorants like them. Its just another nonsense bullsh*t that comes out of their mouth and just needs to be ignored
Scared of change, and trying to justify their bigotry, I think.
I think that it is 'cause they are using the old Sodom %26amp; Gamora routine.
It's because they are told what to think.
the same reason people could compare gay marriage to a heterosexual one, no matter what you compare it to, whether it be a heterosexual marriage or bestiality it will have both similarities and difference. The problem is anti-gay activists will only look at the differences when comparing gay marriage to a heterosexual one.Why do people try to compare gay marriage to bestiality?
Through careful analysis and research, I have discovered the *real* origins of this frequently heard comparison. And here it is.
The verse in the Bible that Christians often misinterpret to mean that God disapproves of homosexuality is Leviticus 18:22. (KJV: ';Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.';) The very next verse, Leviticus 18:23, forbids beastiality. (KJV: ';Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.';)
Christians are just assuming that the Big Gay Conspiracy is systematically and in an orderly fashion trying to break the Levitical Law.
Leviticus 11:10 refers to says that *eating fish* is also an abomination, by the way. The exact same word as how it refers to homosexuality. So God hates people who eat fish every bit as much as he hates fags. :)
Yes, that and the ';OMG! IF U get 2 marry than the PEDOPHILES will want too!!!'; argument are probably my least favorite.
I hope they realize that, unlike two consenting adults, children and animals cannot legally enter into marriage, or any other, contract.
They like to stir up the hate and fear, even if they have to relate us to bestiality and child abuse to do it.
I hope someday we can all look back on this and say... MAN they were screwed up.

What does religion say about sex before marriage?
All religions condemn this practice, however Christians (with bible) don't abide by it... (most not all I am sure there are a lot who do that) Specially in western countries and here in USA there are youth groups and all by you go in there and there are pregnant women there even though its not part of the religion...
Again look at Islamic people (real Islamic people) they don't do this practice..... the single mother rate in islamic countries is 1 to nothing... Pregnancy rate before marriage is 1 to nothing
too...What does religion say about sex before marriage?
The Bible (KJV) states, ';It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.'; (1 Corinthians 7:1-2) To sum all of this up- it simply means that sex is only for married people.What does religion say about sex before marriage?
The reason we find pregnant young women in youth groups is because they find forgiveness. It's not part of the religion, but forgiveness is.
Personally, I think it is a choice left up to the individual. It is between them, their partner, and God what they do with their virginity. Remember, the Bible also says that women should not cut their hair or have a say in religious/government affairs. And that we should stone people for certain offenses that are commonplace today...
It is a no go for Christianity. However, during pre-marriage counseling, we were told the reason is so that there is no emotional baggage for the spouses to deal with during the marriage. Makes sense.
The Islamic culture would not accept that; the woman would be shunned. It is not only the religion itself, but the communities.
The American culture has become more accepting, and so it happens more. Think, some middle easter countries cut off fingers of thieves, set women who have become useless on fire and stone people, as well.
Freedom does have its price.
What do you really want to know? Are you a religious person? If you are religious person, do you follow what your religion's say? or do you just want to do according to what you think is right? Or do you complain what is happening in the world?. I cannot see what your purpose of your question. Do you want to know if you want to have a sex before marriage, what is the consequences? Is it really your problem what is going on with people pregnancies?
Let me tell you what I am thinking. Some people have a religion,(for ex. christian or islam) but ignore it, because they think it is not practical or because they think why should bother by all the rules in their religion (for examples: christian or islam). And I think that people who call themselves religious, but do against what their religion tells them, then there is a doubt about their believe. Little bit of hypocrite, isn't it? You can see that religion creates problem. Actually as a person, we were born with heart which say what is right and what is wrong (without religion guides). Listen to the heart and think wisely. Sex is a part of life. Sex is a beautiful thing, specially if it is done between two grown up persons who loves each other and it is healthy to do it although they are not marriage. If someone wish to keep their pregnany (although this person is not married), that is fine. Marriage is just a certificate. But what happens with the youth who just happen to get pregnant and do not realized what they have done, as a result of not having any sex education. Sex education is better than what the religion says. So what it happens among the youth is they are ignorant (about sex education). Who cares what religion say.
About the islamic people, as you mentioned:'; real islamic people they don't do this practice'; how could you prove it?. It is just everything in islamic society ';hush'; ';hush';, but it happens all the time in any society(christian, islam or any). So do not be hypocrite!The problem is all religion is so ancient, and then if they have not done any reformation like in islam, the islam religion can never suitable with the time we live in now. Do as you believe! as I do what I believe. It doesnt' matter what the others do. So we are different.
Christians arn't perfect, just forgiven.
LMAO!!!!
Thats because women who do that, in muslim countries, are publicly executed... via death by stoning (done by men of course)
I bet you didn't know that...... heck! bet you don't even have a clue as to what ';Sharia'; is. If you did.... then you would STFU.moisturizing cream

How to get a ';no record of marriage'; certificate in India?
To apply for a fiance visa to Australia (from Hong Kong Australia embassy), I have to supply a document saying there are no records of my marriage in India. They do NOT want a declaration from me saying so, but a government document saying there are no records. Which government department do I get such a document from and how?How to get a ';no record of marriage'; certificate in India?
Go to the Indian Embassy in Hong Kong %26amp; ask them to issue you a No Objection Certificate/Letter Stating that you are unmarried as per their records %26amp; record concerning you which is your Passport etc. No Government Department exists in India which will give such certificate you seek for your Fianc茅 Visa for Australia. The Registrar of Marriages where ever you usually resides in India only issues a Marriage Certificate if you get your marriage registered there otherwise they too may or may not give a No objection Certificate/letter stated that there exist no record regarding any of your marriage registered with them only, if such NOC/Letter is issued by the Registrar of Marriages of your place of residence, how far that will be of any help, I can't say. Try out these as I state here %26amp; see if they are of any help. Otherwise the only other way is for you to proceed with a judicial suit of declaration regarding your unmarried status for which a long process will be required, by the time you get a court order you will be already married %26amp; even father of child.How to get a ';no record of marriage'; certificate in India?
If, your name appears in the electoral roll of your area, in India, then, you can find the same, from the voter I.D card. You can also get the information of your marital status from the Land Pass Book, issued by the Tehsildar( revenue authority) of the area in India.
there is no such certificate in india. however, the dm /collector of your district can certify that ';there are no records of your marriage in his jurisdiction, where you normally reside';.

If I hyphenate my last name through marriage can it be just on paper and use just his last name for everything?
Say my last name is Jones and his is Doe on the marriage certificate I want it to say Jones-Doe but can I go through life with just using Doe. The same goes for our children. On the birth certificate can it say Jones-Doe but can the use just Doe though there life?If I hyphenate my last name through marriage can it be just on paper and use just his last name for everything?
Yes, you can do that. We all have lengthy legal names but seldom use the whole line of names. You can hyphenate your name and your children's names in any way you please and use whatever form of that name you wish.If I hyphenate my last name through marriage can it be just on paper and use just his last name for everything?
IMO that doesn't make sense. Just use his last name for everything and forget the hyphen names. I don't really see the point of hyphenating names in the first place.
If you are not proud enough to just use your husband's last name as your new last name I feel sorry for you.
If your gonna go as Doe, and you want your children to just go as Doe, then why go through the trouble of having Jones-Doe as a legality? Either you take his name, you hyphenate, or you keep your own, no real way to straddle the fence.
Only if you want to confuse everyone. Any legal documents you ever signed, you would have to use your full hyphenated name. That includes applications for ANYTHING, jobs, school stuff, etc. I think it would be a huge annoyance.
You should be able to do that but you will just have to watch out for documents that require your full legal name. For example banks and mortgage papers will require your full name so you would have to use the hyphenated one for things like that.
you can use either, i was married for 15 years, my legal name is hyphenated, but now I use both in a singular way depending on my mood

What is the key to a successful marriage?
I know there is not just one thing that will cause a marriage to be successful. But if you had to choose just one, what would you say if the most important thing?What is the key to a successful marriage?
Depends on what is most important to you and your spouse. But the norm, I think are:
Communication - talk whenever you have a problem or think there is a potential problem. Holding it in can explode later on.
Honesty - If you need to hide anything from your spouse, then maybe you don't trust them enough? The fear of being judged can really keep a person tongue tied.
Interest - Keep it alive by doing new things with each other. Whether planning a trip every few months to somewhere new. Or a big vacation to another country.
Passion - Be open to new ideas. But if it is not your cup of tea, don't be afraid to tell your spouse.
Sacrifice - Sometimes giving up stubborness to try or do something for the other person can mean everything in the world. It's the little things that count.What is the key to a successful marriage?
Understanding. Being able to talk to your spouse and step back and realize that small fights really arent that important to fight over. Also, laughter is one of the most important things for me. My husband is in Japan right now, and laughing at and with each other keeps us sane. :)
Honesty.
communication...
Communication and never going to bed angry.
kinky sex
dont be selfish. and never never go broke.
boost the persons esteem(never bring them down verbally or emotionaly), and never commit adultery
Put God first and the rest will follow.

communication!!!!!! you needto talk to your spouse, find out what they like, get thier opinoins, say, I love you,talk about the future,talk about the past, talk, talk, talk,talk!!!!
communication, communication and communication...!
taking your vows (ALL of them) seriously to start with
I would definitley say RESPECT and COMMUNICATION are the two most important things of all. We're newly weds and getting out of our ';honeymoon'; stage now and are learning just how true that really is!

Why don't men and women take marriage seriously anymore?
What ever happened to moral and true love? Working things out?Why don't men and women take marriage seriously anymore?
Because today, people base love on aesthetics and not character. Looks are enough to attract but character is the magnet that really holds a marriage together. I think for someone seriously seeking marriage, you both need to come to terms with where you want to be in 10 years, where you want to be in 20 years. What kind of parents will they make, what values will define their marriage. I think mostly people get married these days with not much thought of the future. They do it because they are only together for the fun times or out of loneliness, or both!
If someone would take the time to say will he make a good husband? instead of just saying yeah... Think! what is a good husband to you, what does it mean? Is helping you out around the house more important than that big game! Is helping you out around the house, a chore or a joy. Do they define love as sex, or as time spent together.
What kind of dad will he be. One who believes that parenthood is 90% womens work, or one who finds joy in helping raise their children. One who does his part of the dirty work. In fact, one who would always want to take on the dirty work, showing his love for his wife.
Today marriage %26amp; divorce, is as common as dating. Not to many care to think ahead. They just jump into it and if it works, great!. If not, then divorce. The girl I love is engaged to marry a bum. She is doing it out of loneliness. She has already been divorced because her ex-husband cheated on her. She is missing being married and a victum of rejection! She is going for what's quick and easy. I believe in my heart that this guy is a bum just using her %26amp; that she is setting herself up for a divorce. I wish she knew how I felt so that she could realize there is a real love out here for her. I know That I would be a wonderful husband to her and a great dad to our childrenWhy don't men and women take marriage seriously anymore?
I think a lot of people take marriage seriously. What has changed is that divorced women are no longer socially destroyed. The primary cause of divorce is adultery by MEN. In the 50s, even if you divorced your husband because of his adulterous behavior or abuse, you were punished by friends, family and society.
I have asked the same question before and i really feel like marriage is a joke to the people of my generation. i have friends that have threesomes with other married couples, my husbands old friends used to flirt with me, i knopw tons of people who have cheated on their spouses, my husband cheated, WHERE are the morals these days?
Marriage is a sacred and wonderful thing to share with your partner and so many people do not cherish it or value it. It's truely made a mockery of now a days. IMO don't get married if you aren't going to take care of it.
I think is still exists, but it is a choice. With common-law taking over most places, some people do not feel a need to get married because they have the exact same rights as married people.
I believe in marriage totally. I have been with my boyfriend for 4 years and we plan on getting married. I think people should not rush into it though because they must realize that it is going to be a lot of work and compromise. I do not however believe that abuse and adultery are the only outs.
The number one cause of divorce is actually money. Money can cause a lot of fights because people usually dont have enough to cover everyone's WANTS. People need to plan ahead and make sure the husband and wife both get what they each want from time to time.
Well do morals make you happy?
Can you believe in marriage FOREVER and never getting divorced...well what if you are deeply unhappy, abused, mistreated, cheated on etc then personally speaking I don't think good morals would see me through a life of that.
Is it not human to make mistakes?...God can forgive (so they say!) or is that only when it suits?
it still exists... sometimes it just takes mistakes, to find it.. I and my husband are truly IN LOVE, And we talk about everything..And if one of us feels like the other is being a bit short... we tell each other that too... kindly, without yelling, and making things worse..I take my marriage very seriously, but you are right. It seems that, sadly, people rarely do anymore..
Hey, look at who we all use for our examples! It's Hollywood. They don't take marriage seriously, and we all know that all the TV shows we watch is just a reflection of real life! So why should we take it seriously!!
Hmmm...Do you really think the people in Hollywood are happy? NOT!
Because they don't have to.
Why don't people pay their bills or their taxes anymore?
Same problem.
Erosion of the moral fabric that holds our society together.
Too much greed.
Too little love.
I dont know about ';other women'; but I take marriage very seriously!
Only grounds for divorce
Abuse
cheating
everything else can be worked out
no one ever said marriage was going to be easy
I think media also takes a huge chunk out of society's morality these days when it comes to marriage.
I take it very very seriously, and I know my husband does as well
Well, since divorce came into play women don't have to work things out because they can get half of everything plus a nice monthly check.
People haven't taken marriage seriously since the church forced their ideas on us 1000 years ago.
That is still very much alive and well for many people-myself included.
i took mine seriously but he cheated. what can i say.
The men and women I know take marriage seriously.

Why do Christians think that ';God made marriage for a man and a woman';?
Of course in the Bible days marriages were polygamous.
Why don't we have polygamous marriages anymore?
And marriage had nothing to do with the law, people would just covenant and move in and that was considered marriage.
It isn't the homosexual man's fault that marriage, today, is controlled by law and that ';civil unions'; and especially ';domestic partnerships'; don't grant the same rights as actual marriage.
Do most Christians that say ';God made marriage for 1 man and 1 woman'; forget the fact that marriage started out as polygamous?Why do Christians think that ';God made marriage for a man and a woman';?
Most Christians *clearly* haven't read the Bible.
Betty, on the other hand, has:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFkeKKszX…Why do Christians think that ';God made marriage for a man and a woman';?
The classic Garden of Eden story (Genesis) has just one man and one woman. Are you thinking there were more men around then? Or more women? Or, maybe the snake was bi...
SImple, Xians find homosexuality ';Yucky'; so anything they find the least bit objectionable, and can't justify through any other means, must also offend God. He told em so when the ';Prayed'; abou ti.
It never seems to strike them as odd that God always seems to agree with their positions when teh y pray about it for ';guidance';
You may or may not have read the Bible, I can't really tell from your question, since your reference to ';Bible days'; (a 4000 year period that is far from homogenous) is pretty vague and generalized. But if you have read the Bible, I can see that you have simply looked into it for curiosity's sake to see the splatter and gore, titilation and contraversy, and you have not read it with the least interest in spiritual matters. because of this, I feel I can unequivocally state that you have missed the point and you have not understood what you have seen. you missed the part where it says it's better to have only one wife, to live moderately, with self-control, because it is not good to have too many concerns with this world that will distract you from spiritual matters. The responsibility of many wives takes up too much of our worldly interest and we lost the benefit of spiritual growth. You didn't see this because you were interested in looking at the barbaric savage bits about all the people who lived and died brutal lives, you were not interested in reading about what the Bible tells us about how to live well, you wanted to soak your mind in violence and then blame God for being unjust. When you are ready to think about what is good for you, then you may be ready for the Bible.
Marriage started as monogamous. Adam only had one wife. So did Moses, Abraham (he made a mistake with Hagar), Joseph, and many others.
God never endoresed polygamy, find me one scripture in which He does. Just because some one such as Isaac had more than one wife does NOT mean that is what God wanted. In fact, with EVERY instance of polygamy in the Bible, there is always an association with family (David, Isaac, Solomon) and faith (Solomon) problems problems.
The first marriage occurred in paradise [Genesis 2:18-25;
Christ confirmed marriage [Matthew 19:5-6]
Historically, there were many in the bible who had many wives, yes. This does not mean God condoned the practice.
Our guide is Adam and Eve. One man, and one woman. Sort of clear.
Modern day Christians would rather emulate the fallen Adam and Eve, than the Kings who did no wrong and followed Gods every word and had 10 wives.
Did it say something like that in the new testament.
If so totally disregard that part. That's what people tell me.
Geez, religion is soo bloody confusing!
Apparently they don't know any better: http://www.notanothergeneration.com/life…
The creation of marriage is recorded in Genesis 2:23-24: ';The man said, ‘This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called “woman,” for she was taken out of man.’ For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.'; God created man and then made woman to complement him. Marriage is God’s “fix” for the fact that “it is not good for the man to be alone” (Genesis 2:18).
The word “helper” used to describe Eve in Genesis 2:20 means “to surround, to protect or aid, help.” Eve was created to be alongside Adam as his ';other half,'; to be his aid and his helper. A man and woman, when married, become ';one flesh.'; This oneness is manifested most fully in the physical union of sexual intimacy. The New Testament adds a warning regarding this oneness. ';So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate'; (Matthew 19:6).
There are several epistles written by the apostle Paul that refer to marriage and how believers are to operate within the marriage relationship. One such passage is 1 Corinthians chapter 7, and another is Ephesians 5:22-33. When studied together, these two passages provide biblical principles that form a framework for a God-pleasing marriage relationship.
The Ephesians passage is especially profound in reference to a successful biblical marriage. ';Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior'; (Ephesians 5:22-23). ';Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her'; (Ephesians 5:25). ';In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church” (Ephesians 5:28-29). “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh” (Ephesians 5:31).
When a believing husband and wife institute God’s principles, a biblical marriage results. A biblically-based marriage is one that is in balance, with Christ as the head of the man and the wife together. The biblical concept of marriage is a oneness between two individuals that pictures the oneness of Christ with His church.

I'd say hell no.
My husband and I married each other because we want to spend the rest of our lives with each other and no one else. That means sexually, we are going to remain ONLY with one another forever.
I could bare to see him be sexual with someone else. Also, I couldn't bear the thought of being sexual with someone else. I love my husband.
Are you talking about wife swapping. I really wouldn't go there. Marriage is such a beautiful thing. Why would you risk bringing other people into the equation. Someone always gets hurt. You already sound unsure, just by the fact that your on here asking about it.

Do you oppose or support same sex marriage?
I am writing a paper on the evolution of American attitude towards same sex marriage and want your feedback. Do you support Gay Marriage? Only civil unions? Or not at all?Do you oppose or support same sex marriage?
Let 'em marry. Why should straights be the only group to be miserable...Do you oppose or support same sex marriage?
There is no such thing as same sex marriage.
I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU MAN AND WIFE IT IS ONLY A MARRIAGE WHEN IT IS BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN.
Just because you call it a marriage does not make it one, look at the Detroit Lions they are called a football team but that does not make them one. ROFLMAO.
ps I'M FROM MI
Support it, fair is fair. Many non-religious couples marry too.
It doesn't have to be in a church if that is the problem but it's the legal aspects of it.
I used to support it. But we were promised that incest and bestiality would follow and that hasn't happened. I was a fool for believing those politicians.
The first answer is funny!
I have a t-shirt that reads ';I support gay marriage. If both chicks are hot!';
But to answer your question, I oppose it.
Live and let live. As long as they're not forcing me to marry someone of the same sex, it's fine with me.
Not at all.

Is it really difficult to maintain love marriage? I want to marry my gf but having fear for it?
I have a 3 year realtion with my girl friend. soon we are going to marry but dont know why there is a fear rising in my heart? Although she loves me a lot than too She is not fully satisfied with me. I cant experess her this fear. She cant be live without me. I never want to leave her but ........why such negetive things coming to my mind? plz guide me.Is it really difficult to maintain love marriage? I want to marry my gf but having fear for it?
Its called cold feet. Everyone wonders if its right. If you love her and you trust her, most things can be overcome. Keep a good line of communication. If you really love her, talk to her. She might be feeling the same thing. Or is it that you're not ready? What's the rush? If after talking to her, you still have doubts, wait a little longer until you're sure. Is it really difficult to maintain love marriage? I want to marry my gf but having fear for it?
It's called Cold Feet, totally normal. I'd be scared for the person that doesn't have any hesitation to get married. At least you'll be entering the marriage with realistic expectations. Good luck buddy.

Why are so many people against gay marriage?
I'm not homosexual so im not biased in my opinion. I still cant figure out why so many people would want to deny a happy couple marriage. Shouldn't they have equal rights like everyone else? People protest this **** like it will be the end of the human race. What are you afraid of??? Seriously, name one bad thing about a gay couple being married.
Thanks.Why are so many people against gay marriage?
Homophobes for christ I suppose - great having a ready made religious reason to justify your own biggotry....Why are so many people against gay marriage?
They can still get married in certain Churches, I don't understand why they need the government to officially recognize it before they can be happy
Anyway, most of them are against it not because they want to deny someone happiness, but because they don't like the idea of the government officially blessing off on a gay marriage. Wouldn't you feel just a little bit queasy if the govt officially sanctioned incestuous marriages, polygamous marriages, and marriage between a human and an animal?
In all those cases (except for the last) you can also argue that if the people are consenting adults, the government shouldn't interfere.
I have a better idea overall - just get government out of the marriage business altogether. Marriages should be a religious function only. There's no reason for the state to be involved. That would solve the problem for all.
So hypothetically I can marry my sister now? We are both over 18. We are NOT a couple for the record. We don't even live in the same city(heck don't even live in the same State as my other sister but she's married so that would ruin the point even more). Hypothetically though what if my sister and I were a couple and wanted to marry. Would you defend that right? Most who want to defend same-sex or homosexual marriage likely WON'T defend that right.Yet it would simply be an adult couple. I could name other cases. People want marriage to be between one man and one woman. People also see marriage as a religious institution. So the real question is why don't homosexuals argue to get Civil Unions to be the same as marriage and then argue to have all the same rights that way? Personally I think all marriages BY THE STATE should be Civil Unions, let the religious institutions declare marriages.
It states in the Bible that men who lay with other men will not inherit the treasures of heaven. I am not afraid of it but I will not compromise my thinking. I am not a religous person, I am a christian who believes what the bible tells me. I am not divorced but am happily married to the same man for 12 years. I will not stand in protest against it I will not stand in lobby for it. It is not my place to judge these people, I try to live my life according to the Word. I believe everyone should be happy but also in obedience to God. If they do not believe in God then I suppose happy will be good enough for them for now. When people protest against something so fervently it is usually because they do not understand it or as you said are afraid of it.
Marriage is a religious ceremony ';joining a man and woman in holy matrimony';...it is not a civil right.
Most religions condemn homosexuality...why would they want to take a ceremony straight from a religion that condemns their very life style?
Marriage is not a civil right, it's a religious ceremony.
Homo sexuality is not a civil right, it's a preference.
I don't think there's anything wrong with a ';civil union';...if the law in the state it occurs in deems it legal.
I'm not afraid of anything, I have several friends that are gay...
I just don't think this is a civil rights issue.
I will get thumbs down for this one. I for one am against homosexual marriage because it is threatening the morals I am trying to teach my kids. Homosexuality is not okay and it is not normal. No I am not teaching them to be haters either. Just because I disagree with the lifestyle does not make me a hater. I have friends who are gay. Reproductive organs were created for reproduction. Two men or two women can not do that together. Yes I am a christian and I TRY to base my life on the principles set forth in the bible. No where in that does it say it is acceptable to be homosexual. In fact it calls it unnatural.
Many people are against it because it goes against their interpretation of God. Some might even feel victimized by it. For whatever reason, they are only able to accept their beliefs and no one else's. These people remind me of anyone who uses God to condemn others. We stole and murdered thousands of Indians in order to create a country based on religious freedom and equality. As for The Bible, it doesn't mention gay marriage or two women having sex. It denounces two men having sex, along with a man and woman having sex out of marriage. This was determined by people before churches and weddings when women were stoned if they had sex out of marriage. Gays were murdered as they were in the Holocaust and continue to be in certain countries. I believe these early interpreters of God tried to establish the best sexual ideals they could at that time for society. I thank God much of that has changed today and will, God willing, continue to change as we grow and learn. God bless us all!
Let me first start off by saying I do not agree with gay marriage at all!!! I am a straight Black Christian. That being said,your question is 100% VALID. And here's why. At some point in the last 400years a white man(the only ones with any power)had to ask another white man, ';How does this Black Man becoming free hurt your freedom in any way?'; Much the way I will ask the Christian nay-sayers here. HOW DOES ALLOWING 2 GAY MEN OR WOMEN TO MARRY AFFECT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, OR WITH YOUR HUSBAND OR WIFE? (please be as specific as possible without being graphic) The argument that God doesn't like it really DOESN'T hold water. God said he gives his people free will,which by making this law we have stripped. I just have a problem when the imperfect human gets to decide which laws of the Bible we will make State%26amp;Fed laws %26amp; which we won't. What about ban on Divorce since God also doesn't care for that much. Or how about infedelity, that's shunned or pre-marital sex. I got the solution, lets make all of it illegal that way the Christians get a Bible based society, we can levy fines against the new law breakers thus no tax hikes, EVER. And gay people will get some form retrobution watching millions of people formally against them being arrested%26amp;fined just for living their lives. OR, we can just not make any of them laws%26amp;let people be ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS.
people are ignorant.
i guarantee most of the people that are against it have probably had a divorce, so if they say its for the ';sanctify of marriage'; then they are just hypocrites.
what they don't realize is that homosexuals already get married in churches and other places, they are just trying to get the legal rights a spouse has. has nothing to do with the religious aspect of marriage.
Religion, The Bible is strongly against homosexuality.
How can a Christian be blamed for what they strongly believe in, and what they've been tought they're whole life? If you're an atheist then I see why you'd be confused b/c you're ignorant of many religious beliefs.
Also it goes against nature, likes can't reproduce. It goes against the home, raising a ';family'; with 2 dads or 2 moms can have a very negative effect on children. It's a twisted idea and practice. Heterosexuals are the normal ones. And calling someone homophobic is rediculous.
hate and ignorance borne of poor education is the cause of most of it.
the highest voting counties for Prop 8 were also the counties with %26lt; 10% of people with a bachelors degree.
imagine that.
It is Religion. Before the advent of modern religions, human beings did not go to war over god, kill for god and hate for god. Religion is not for the mellow or the free thinker.
So for all the posters that think gays should be happy with ';civil unions';. Separate but Equal, why does that sound so familiar?
Because of religion.
Religion poisons the mind.moisturizing cream
Thanks.Why are so many people against gay marriage?
Homophobes for christ I suppose - great having a ready made religious reason to justify your own biggotry....Why are so many people against gay marriage?
They can still get married in certain Churches, I don't understand why they need the government to officially recognize it before they can be happy
Anyway, most of them are against it not because they want to deny someone happiness, but because they don't like the idea of the government officially blessing off on a gay marriage. Wouldn't you feel just a little bit queasy if the govt officially sanctioned incestuous marriages, polygamous marriages, and marriage between a human and an animal?
In all those cases (except for the last) you can also argue that if the people are consenting adults, the government shouldn't interfere.
I have a better idea overall - just get government out of the marriage business altogether. Marriages should be a religious function only. There's no reason for the state to be involved. That would solve the problem for all.
So hypothetically I can marry my sister now? We are both over 18. We are NOT a couple for the record. We don't even live in the same city(heck don't even live in the same State as my other sister but she's married so that would ruin the point even more). Hypothetically though what if my sister and I were a couple and wanted to marry. Would you defend that right?

What would you do if you thought marriage was what you wanted?
then when you got married you wasnt sure if you had done the right thing???What would you do if you thought marriage was what you wanted?
A lot of people feel the same marrage does change the way that you feel about life in general it did for me, Dont rush into anything just sit down and really think about what you ant out of life. Good luckWhat would you do if you thought marriage was what you wanted?
simple. marry.
you must go at stripptise and have good time there if your partner are incopitible with you
well, do you care about this man or not? Forget love - no one can tell you what that means. If you care about each other, than stay, you are unlikely to get better. Its a bit unfair to say, sorry, I've had enough, bye! Unless it is really bad. I agree with first answer - you need to be together 5 years or so before you have any real idea.
tGet divorced or learn to live with it!
Your question probably goes a lot deeper than a simple answer but remember we are all human we make mistakes and from this we can learn lessons of life and grow follow your head and not your heart in these situations and you will make a better decisions
Talk to your husband/wife before discussing with other people. It may reassure you but again it may make you realise you have made a mistake. No matter how much you think it is going to hurt the person you must be truthful as marriage is based on truth and trust from the very beginning.
it depends... if the marriage is relatively new i would give it some more time... but i would defiantly try to fix the problems you have with the marriage before considering a divorce!
Talk to your husband, and may be go to marriage counselling... I'm sure he would understand!
I would try to fix whatever is wrong in my marriage, because people not saying you give up way to fast on marriage they run for a divorce, and marriage is about the good and the bad work through tough situation and fixing them because you both love one another. Make sur that you have tried everything in your power to make it work before considering a divorce. Because it you don't give it your all you are always going to wonder what if and nobody likes that feeling.
It depends on your views of divorce I guess. I do not believe in divorce, that you should be careful before being married, so that divorce is not needed. Waiting it out is the best idea, divorce is such a huge thing that you shouldn't just jump into it. You can try to get help through marriage counseling, or a therapist.
Seek Counceling. Weigh your options, make a decision and stick to it.
This is all about lack of confidence and fear. Get some help from a counsellor to talk things through, and then when you know your own mind, act on it decisively and with love. If you have chosen a partner and now have cold feet, it may not be through any fault of that person. Have respect. For yourself first and then for that person. Good luck and God Bless.
Get yourself to counseling fast....if you told your husband that you were having doubts - then both of you go....eventually you will have to tell him.......be honest
i will get divorced get my freedom back,and then lok for some one else and live my life to the fulest
If I'm not happy I'll get out ASAP. I don't want to waste time when I can be looking for someone else.
Well, one of the advantages of marraige is to confide these insecureitys with your spouse. Maybe he is feeling the same thing and it may bring you closer . That may sound crazy but crazy it what got you married , yes ? Dont talk to your friends ,family ect.. TALK TO YOU HUBAND. Because in the end its what the 2 of you choose and nobody else. Your best friend or mother dont wake up with him everyday do they? Now is the time to see what marrage is all about , the test drive is over. Now its time for a grid lock commute or a long drive with you favorite cd . Change the oil first and vaccum the floor and keep the wind sheild clean.

If you are for gay marriage, are you also for incestuous marriages?
Assuming it is between two consenting adults.
Why or why not?If you are for gay marriage, are you also for incestuous marriages?
I'm sure that there are incestuous relationships between consenting adults even though they are not permitted to be legally married. I guess I'm gonna have to say that if they're adults, it's their business. Why deny them and particularly their kids- (whom would benefit from it the most), the legal benefits of marriage?
Difficult question to answer. I'm trying to keep moral judgment out of it. We don't prohibit non-incestuous couples who carry genes known to cause serious birth defects from having kids....so birth defects isn't really a good reason to prohibit incestuous marriage. Society seems ';o.k.'; with allowing children to be born to parents who have high risks for producing children with birth defects.
As long as the relationship is between two informed adults, I'm gonna have to go with ';live and let live.';If you are for gay marriage, are you also for incestuous marriages?
We know the problem with incest is based on an understanding that sexual love should not be professed between father and daughter, sister and brother, etc. because it is considered a perverted form of love and because of the increased chance of birth defects in children from such a union.
Still, there have always been and there will continue to be those that who challenge this societal norm.
I have enough problems of my own and don't care to dictate to other people who they can or can not love. Yes. Two consenting adults should be allowed to marry as they wish.
C. :)
If people aren't causing any harm to others, then what they do with their life doesn't bother me. But having children within the family that close leads to birth defects and contrinuation of illness. If they didn't have children I qwould still be concerned that they may have a mental problem. Incestuous marriage may encourage child abuse.
Assuming ';marriage'; and it's benefits/restrictions are linked to producing offspring and assigning paternity to said offspring, my position is in favor of domestic partnerships for unconventional relationships, rather than marriage.
An incestuous domestic partnership would be legal. And if they produce offspring, the cost of dealing with the ensuing medical problems would fall on the parents, NOT health insurance, public or private.
. and the reif two people want to commit to each other i see nothing wrong with it. i do not like the idea they use God in their vows or be married in a church, unless the church you go to accepts this way of life. a nice outdoor commitment is fine the reason i say no church or God is because the God i worship says it wrong. as long as you do that i dont have a problem and no one else should either as long as its two agreeable adults
Incest is very often part of domestic abuse, and as such incestuous relationships are often abusive, especially if they continue beyond the point where one sibling no longer wants to be involved but is pressured out of abuse, love, a sense of duty and/or fear of the consequences.
If the incest is between parent and child, there would very probably be some long term child abuse involved, and that would be a criminal matter.
As far as siblings go, because of the societal sanctions on this type of relationship and the necessity for secrecy and potential for abuse, it is likely it would be very difficult to have a healthy relationship which involved incest.
However, if two people want to have at it, they will, and unless they are involved in abuse or there is a potential for pregnancies to result which could be unhealthy I don't see why there should be any effort by others to police it.
The difficulty would be finding the fine line between abuse and agreement, given the nature of the relationship.
Personally, I wouldn't care to have sex with any of my siblings, or wider family for that matter, and I would think those who do need to be very careful about the potential for abuse.
Of course, the involvement of any minor children would be an immediate and urgent matter for the police.
Cheers :-)
They ain't aloud to marry either.Unless your in WVA.
Assuming incestuous marriage is between two consenting adults that understand the gravity of the situation and plan to get themselves sterilized (this condition is a must) I have to concede that hypothetically there shouldn't be an issue with it. But in reality this is not the situation, incest is almost always if not always a predatory relationship, and should not be compared to gay marriage, in fact its quite insulting to gays to compare this extremely hypothetical situation of a ';healthy'; incestous relationship to same sex marriage.
I'm against both.
Two very very different issues
Besides (putting the US aside) gay marriage is accepted in many parts of the world.
Incest is the ONLY sex taboo that all humans share, even some none humans some animal species wont do it either. It goes against our instinct to produce healthy blood lines
I'm not for ';gay marriage'; or incestuous marriages.
Actually, ';gay marriage'; is really a euphemism. Gays aren't really calling for the right to marry -- because they already have that right.
They have just as much a right to marry a member of the opposite sex as anyone else.
Marriage is a union of one woman and one man -- and everybody, whether gay or straight, who wants to get married has to play by that rule. The rule is same for everybody.
At the end of the day, I don't really care who sleeps with who -- if two guys, or two chicks, want to go to bed together, then hey, whatever turns you on.
But when they try to change things like marriage around just to get legal sanction for celebrating their lifestyle, that's wrong.
.
I'm personally against both. But I don't support incestuous relationships at all. Often it's not actually two consenting people, even if they claim so.
Not all Southerners are incestuous! Don't be rude, Lostfan. There's more stories of incest in the British and Middle Eastern worlds. Don't buy into stereo-types.
Nice of others to read their own biases into relationships. We could also say that men are forced into marriage beyond consent by a woman getting pregnant on purpose. Let's assume a starting point; that both people comitting incest are consenting and leave the rest of the crap out. What's wrong with their relationship, besides religion? Babies? Abortions are EZ to get.
The 14th Amendment says that the states shall give equal protection of the law. There are no side-notes or asteriks, it says what it says. EACH and EVERY citizen shall have the exact same oppurtunity as everyone else.
I'm against marriage for gays, but I'm patriotic enough to comprehend the Constitution as it is written in black in white, and I refuse to allow any Repugmocrat or one of their black robed thugs at scotus tell me what MY Constitution says. Don't like gay marriage? Amend the Constitution, Think the Constitution can be interpreted in light of modern values? Report to the gulag immediately, Komrads. The founding Fathers knew there would be social and technological change. That's why they wrote the Amendment and Ratification procedure into the Constitution. Another example: Keep your friggin, thieving, stinking, hands off my guns until you write and ratify an amendment!
I am all for a gay marriage if that makes them happy but not for an incestuous relationship. Inbreeding causes all sorts of genetic disorders not to mention the heartache it causes to other family members.
A gay marriage poses no harm to anyone unless one is bigoted.
why would u want to marry someone your related too? can't say i am for that, but i will not judge anyone for their actions
marriage is a instution of love marry who u want
I guess so...2 consenting adults...
I am for civil unions for homosexuals. Marriage is already defined as one man and one woman, therefore, 2 people of the same sex can not get married.
Gay Marriage- no problem, everybody is made differently, I have no right to pass judgment.
As far as incest is concerned, it spreads diseases like Hemophilia and genetic disorders. Basically, it's not a very healthy route to take. But morally speaking, I don't really care, unless It's a father and daughter/ mother and son which can get a little too much!!!
Im not for or against incestuous marriage....
People will do what they wish and just because blood is mixed does not necessarily mean the children will come out retarded or have missing or extra limbs.
I'm sure those who have had incestious relationships have had children who have actually come out perfectly fine.
I mean sure if 2 ppl told me they were married and also related sure i would be shocked....maybe even a wee bit put off...but id get over it.
and then my natural inquisitive nature would ake over and id start asking questions.
As a lot of people have rightly said, they are very different things. Gay marriage is fine, incestous marriage can be cruel on any potential children the couple might have. Incestous gay marriage would aslo be wrong in my opinion, firstly because it is against the law, but more than that, the situation would be so strange that they would most likely be ridiculed by society and there chances of adopting children would be pretty much gone. I suppose if it wasn't such a taboo in todays society I might consider it to be ok.
Edit: its best to find someone you are not related to than go through the hatred and ridicule that is bound to come out of it.
Let me put it to you this way:
Homosexuality happens among the higher orders of non-human mammals.
Incest does not. Most animals instinctively know not to breed with close relatives.
Homosexuality is natural. Incest is not.
Aside from the many other arguments I could present you with, that's the most telling.
Nope, because marriage encourages sex, and incestual sex leads to birth defects and genetic problems.
Gay marriage is wayyy different.
Save the incest for the south of the Dixon line.
I absolutely support gay marriage, and I absolutely do not support incestuous marriages. The reason is that offspring born of incestuous parenthood are SEVERELY more at risk for birth defects and health problems.
';What if they decide not to have children';?
Yea, because intent has a great deal to do with biology, and teenagers quite frequently do not DECIDE to have children. Their bodies do.
I fail to see the comparison
No. Big difference.
One has absolutely nothing to do with the other.
Gay marriages and incestuous marriages are very different things. The only universal taboo in every single known culture is that of incest. This is because even if the science of genetics is not understood, the concept of marrying your father, brother, mother, sister, niece, nephew, aunt or uncle is understood as creating massive problems for the society. Homosexuality is not universally taboo, and is even honored in some cultures. Supporting homosexual marriage does not necessarily mean one needs to support incestuous marriage.
We have permitted same-sex marriage in Canada for a number of years now. No problem, the sun continues to rise in the east and set in the west.
Grow up, moron.
Hell, why not gay AND incestuous marriages? Let's have a truly Enlightened Republic--a populace of outpatients/Clinton voters calling each other ';daddy.';
Ah, the old ';slippery slope'; tactic. Classic.
Gay marriage does not pose any sort of ';threat'; to society, there are no negative repercussions, except in the minds of your more bigoted variety of fundamentalists.
Incestuous relationships pose all kinds of ';threats,'; the genetic problems, the abuse issues, etc.
Only if it leads to Bestiality Unions !!!! Hey Rover bend over !!
Personally I don't like either of them,but that'smy personal preference.,
Rationally:
As long as they are REALLY concenting and love each other. Why not? Even in the bible, The daughters of Lot slept with him. And I don't see anyone condemning that. At the end, as long as the relation works and harms nobody. it's not of anybody else business.
As for birth defects, where is the proof? Have anyone seen a serious study on this? Or is this just an urban legend created by religion.
As for Gay marriages, they are more about companionship. Since you cannot breed between the same sex. Again, as long as they work and harm nobody. They are of nobody business.
Why or why not?If you are for gay marriage, are you also for incestuous marriages?
I'm sure that there are incestuous relationships between consenting adults even though they are not permitted to be legally married. I guess I'm gonna have to say that if they're adults, it's their business. Why deny them and particularly their kids- (whom would benefit from it the most), the legal benefits of marriage?
Difficult question to answer. I'm trying to keep moral judgment out of it. We don't prohibit non-incestuous couples who carry genes known to cause serious birth defects from having kids....so birth defects isn't really a good reason to prohibit incestuous marriage. Society seems ';o.k.'; with allowing children to be born to parents who have high risks for producing children with birth defects.
As long as the relationship is between two informed adults, I'm gonna have to go with ';live and let live.';If you are for gay marriage, are you also for incestuous marriages?
We know the problem with incest is based on an understanding that sexual love should not be professed between father and daughter, sister and brother, etc. because it is considered a perverted form of love and because of the increased chance of birth defects in children from such a union.
Still, there have always been and there will continue to be those that who challenge this societal norm.
I have enough problems of my own and don't care to dictate to other people who they can or can not love. Yes. Two consenting adults should be allowed to marry as they wish.

If people aren't causing any harm to others, then what they do with their life doesn't bother me. But having children within the family that close leads to birth defects and contrinuation of illness. If they didn't have children I qwould still be concerned that they may have a mental problem. Incestuous marriage may encourage child abuse.
Assuming ';marriage'; and it's benefits/restrictions are linked to producing offspring and assigning paternity to said offspring, my position is in favor of domestic partnerships for unconventional relationships, rather than marriage.
An incestuous domestic partnership would be legal. And if they produce offspring, the cost of dealing with the ensuing medical problems would fall on the parents, NOT health insurance, public or private.
. and the reif two people want to commit to each other i see nothing wrong with it. i do not like the idea they use God in their vows or be married in a church, unless the church you go to accepts this way of life. a nice outdoor commitment is fine the reason i say no church or God is because the God i worship says it wrong. as long as you do that i dont have a problem and no one else should either as long as its two agreeable adults
Incest is very often part of domestic abuse, and as such incestuous relationships are often abusive, especially if they continue beyond the point where one sibling no longer wants to be involved but is pressured out of abuse, love, a sense of duty and/or fear of the consequences.
If the incest is between parent and child, there would very probably be some long term child abuse involved, and that would be a criminal matter.
As far as siblings go, because of the societal sanctions on this type of relationship and the necessity for secrecy and potential for abuse, it is likely it would be very difficult to have a healthy relationship which involved incest.
However, if two people want to have at it, they will, and unless they are involved in abuse or there is a potential for pregnancies to result which could be unhealthy I don't see why there should be any effort by others to police it.
The difficulty would be finding the fine line between abuse and agreement, given the nature of the relationship.
Personally, I wouldn't care to have sex with any of my siblings, or wider family for that matter, and I would think those who do need to be very careful about the potential for abuse.
Of course, the involvement of any minor children would be an immediate and urgent matter for the police.
Cheers :-)
They ain't aloud to marry either.Unless your in WVA.
Assuming incestuous marriage is between two consenting adults that understand the gravity of the situation and plan to get themselves sterilized (this condition is a must) I have to concede that hypothetically there shouldn't be an issue with it. But in reality this is not the situation, incest is almost always if not always a predatory relationship, and should not be compared to gay marriage, in fact its quite insulting to gays to compare this extremely hypothetical situation of a ';healthy'; incestous relationship to same sex marriage.
I'm against both.
Two very very different issues
Besides (putting the US aside) gay marriage is accepted in many parts of the world.
Incest is the ONLY sex taboo that all humans share, even some none humans some animal species wont do it either. It goes against our instinct to produce healthy blood lines
I'm not for ';gay marriage'; or incestuous marriages.
Actually, ';gay marriage'; is really a euphemism. Gays aren't really calling for the right to marry -- because they already have that right.
They have just as much a right to marry a member of the opposite sex as anyone else.
Marriage is a union of one woman and one man -- and everybody, whether gay or straight, who wants to get married has to play by that rule. The rule is same for everybody.
At the end of the day, I don't really care who sleeps with who -- if two guys, or two chicks, want to go to bed together, then hey, whatever turns you on.
But when they try to change things like marriage around just to get legal sanction for celebrating their lifestyle, that's wrong.
.
I'm personally against both. But I don't support incestuous relationships at all. Often it's not actually two consenting people, even if they claim so.
Not all Southerners are incestuous! Don't be rude, Lostfan. There's more stories of incest in the British and Middle Eastern worlds. Don't buy into stereo-types.
Nice of others to read their own biases into relationships. We could also say that men are forced into marriage beyond consent by a woman getting pregnant on purpose. Let's assume a starting point; that both people comitting incest are consenting and leave the rest of the crap out. What's wrong with their relationship, besides religion? Babies? Abortions are EZ to get.
The 14th Amendment says that the states shall give equal protection of the law. There are no side-notes or asteriks, it says what it says. EACH and EVERY citizen shall have the exact same oppurtunity as everyone else.
I'm against marriage for gays, but I'm patriotic enough to comprehend the Constitution as it is written in black in white, and I refuse to allow any Repugmocrat or one of their black robed thugs at scotus tell me what MY Constitution says. Don't like gay marriage? Amend the Constitution, Think the Constitution can be interpreted in light of modern values? Report to the gulag immediately, Komrads. The founding Fathers knew there would be social and technological change. That's why they wrote the Amendment and Ratification procedure into the Constitution. Another example: Keep your friggin, thieving, stinking, hands off my guns until you write and ratify an amendment!
I am all for a gay marriage if that makes them happy but not for an incestuous relationship. Inbreeding causes all sorts of genetic disorders not to mention the heartache it causes to other family members.
A gay marriage poses no harm to anyone unless one is bigoted.
why would u want to marry someone your related too? can't say i am for that, but i will not judge anyone for their actions
marriage is a instution of love marry who u want
I guess so...2 consenting adults...
I am for civil unions for homosexuals. Marriage is already defined as one man and one woman, therefore, 2 people of the same sex can not get married.
Gay Marriage- no problem, everybody is made differently, I have no right to pass judgment.
As far as incest is concerned, it spreads diseases like Hemophilia and genetic disorders. Basically, it's not a very healthy route to take. But morally speaking, I don't really care, unless It's a father and daughter/ mother and son which can get a little too much!!!
Im not for or against incestuous marriage....
People will do what they wish and just because blood is mixed does not necessarily mean the children will come out retarded or have missing or extra limbs.
I'm sure those who have had incestious relationships have had children who have actually come out perfectly fine.
I mean sure if 2 ppl told me they were married and also related sure i would be shocked....maybe even a wee bit put off...but id get over it.
and then my natural inquisitive nature would ake over and id start asking questions.
As a lot of people have rightly said, they are very different things. Gay marriage is fine, incestous marriage can be cruel on any potential children the couple might have. Incestous gay marriage would aslo be wrong in my opinion, firstly because it is against the law, but more than that, the situation would be so strange that they would most likely be ridiculed by society and there chances of adopting children would be pretty much gone. I suppose if it wasn't such a taboo in todays society I might consider it to be ok.
Edit: its best to find someone you are not related to than go through the hatred and ridicule that is bound to come out of it.
Let me put it to you this way:
Homosexuality happens among the higher orders of non-human mammals.
Incest does not. Most animals instinctively know not to breed with close relatives.
Homosexuality is natural. Incest is not.
Aside from the many other arguments I could present you with, that's the most telling.
Nope, because marriage encourages sex, and incestual sex leads to birth defects and genetic problems.
Gay marriage is wayyy different.
Save the incest for the south of the Dixon line.
I absolutely support gay marriage, and I absolutely do not support incestuous marriages. The reason is that offspring born of incestuous parenthood are SEVERELY more at risk for birth defects and health problems.
';What if they decide not to have children';?
Yea, because intent has a great deal to do with biology, and teenagers quite frequently do not DECIDE to have children. Their bodies do.
I fail to see the comparison
No. Big difference.
One has absolutely nothing to do with the other.
Gay marriages and incestuous marriages are very different things. The only universal taboo in every single known culture is that of incest. This is because even if the science of genetics is not understood, the concept of marrying your father, brother, mother, sister, niece, nephew, aunt or uncle is understood as creating massive problems for the society. Homosexuality is not universally taboo, and is even honored in some cultures. Supporting homosexual marriage does not necessarily mean one needs to support incestuous marriage.
We have permitted same-sex marriage in Canada for a number of years now. No problem, the sun continues to rise in the east and set in the west.
Grow up, moron.
Hell, why not gay AND incestuous marriages? Let's have a truly Enlightened Republic--a populace of outpatients/Clinton voters calling each other ';daddy.';
Ah, the old ';slippery slope'; tactic. Classic.
Gay marriage does not pose any sort of ';threat'; to society, there are no negative repercussions, except in the minds of your more bigoted variety of fundamentalists.
Incestuous relationships pose all kinds of ';threats,'; the genetic problems, the abuse issues, etc.
Only if it leads to Bestiality Unions !!!! Hey Rover bend over !!
Personally I don't like either of them,but that'smy personal preference.,
Rationally:
As long as they are REALLY concenting and love each other. Why not? Even in the bible, The daughters of Lot slept with him. And I don't see anyone condemning that. At the end, as long as the relation works and harms nobody. it's not of anybody else business.
As for birth defects, where is the proof? Have anyone seen a serious study on this? Or is this just an urban legend created by religion.
As for Gay marriages, they are more about companionship. Since you cannot breed between the same sex. Again, as long as they work and harm nobody. They are of nobody business.
