why is there this obsession with marriage?
I am 2 months pregnant with a partner Ive been with for nearly 4 years. We love each other to bits and are soulmates, but neither of us feel the need to get married. We both come from broken homes and have seen our families ripped apart by divorce. I fail to see how being married is the only way to give a child a “proper” family. so many people have frowned on us for not getting married but having a child. Surely to have an immense amount of love is far more important than a marriage certificate? tradition isn’t always a good thing. I am interested in others view, but please no abusive preaching, i would just like a balanced view on the subject. Thanks
Why is abortion important to you?
So many people put so much stress on abortion and gay marriage and I really don’t understand it.
The only influence I see pushing these two topics are the church… so are these issues only important to you because your pastor tells you they’re important? Or do some of you actually think that electing a person solely on their views of abortion/gay marriage is a logical or even sane argument?
Or are you just a stooge being played to get votes?
Even If Your Spouse or Lover Has Been Having an Affair..You’ll Bring Them Back
Is it really that important to sleep around and get tail while your young / before marriage?
I’ve only been with 2 girls, im 24 right now and I’ve had my current girlfriend for like a little over three years. I’m still young, and during a surgery today (i work at a hospital) the surgeon was giving me advice i.e. “if i was a young good looking guy like you i’d be out chasing tail!”
i mean, i’ve only had long-term relationships, never did the one night stand thing, i laughed at the comment at first but I dont know why it’s been lingering in my head…is it really that important to whore yourself out and get it out of your system before you tie a not or something? especially being inexperienced? i don’t know why i let such a small talk comment go so in-depth.
I dont mean to be your typical guy, I’m really not, just wanted some assurance or see what you guys and gals think. and i guess an fyi, i really love my girlfriend, but now i feel like im missing a phase of youth?
peace.

How important is sex in a healthy relationship?
If you care about your other half but the sex just isn’t there due to cultural or biological reasons. Should you consider breaking up?
I guess I want to know, how important sex is in keeping a healthy marriage together (at least for people in their 30s.)
My partner is beautiful and she loves me but she has a low sex drive and no interest in sex. Maybe she is up for it once every few months if that and it is dead fish kind of sex.
I never push the issue on her at all but I also have my own needs and I feel I am missing something important in our relationship.
I care deeply for her but I’m wondering if we should break up. Or am I just being selfish over one issue in a much bigger relationship?
Helpful suggestions please.
She has always been this way. She is Japanese and it is common among some Asians women to have a lower sex drive.
We have talked about it and she says she wants to please me but just isn’t into sex all that much.
Sucks for me…
What Do You Think Of a Marriage?
Earlier today a friend said this to me “I think that this is just one of those overrated, but underperforming institutions …….what is important is love……society’s obsession with marriage is nauseating”. Is he right or wrong, in your opinion.
Is it possible for a man and woman to have sucessful marriage without sex?
Hot off the press, Y’all! There is a growing undercurrent in response to our civilizations preoccupation with all things sexual. Asexual people are coming forward in their quest to gain recongition as a respected sexual oreintation…like gays have established.
People who consider themselves “asexual”, are people who lack sexual desire. However, these people still seek out mates for companionship but not sex. This growing movement will try to gain recognition and respect for their chosen way of life by convincing others that they are ok with it and they deserve freedom to choose.
Like all other sexual orientations, I think that these folks do have a point but it may not be in keeping with standard society. Is sex really so important to a marriage or have we been sold a bill of goods by marketeers who use sex as a selling point? Anyway, answer my question with some forethought..thank you in advance!
How drastically does your marriage change after having a baby? I want ways to remain close to my spouse?
I am super happy with my married life. My husband and I have been together for 5 years and married for a year and a half. We plan to get pregnant next year.
I don’t want to be a wife that neglects her husband when her child is born. I want to have a baby and establish a routine so we both feel more comfortable with a new baby in the house.
After that I want to spend one night a week alone so we can do things alone. And I want a set time everyday when we can spend quality time together without a baby.
Someone told me a selfish mother would do this, but I love my husband and after our children and raised and have moved away I still want to be married, so its important to me to make sure we find ways to bond and remain close.
I still want to be husband and wife and not just mom and dad. That to me is the most important thing in a family, its what keeps a family together!
How do you find ways to focus on your spouse and remain a happy couple?
Acne is a serious problem and it is not fun. Now you can be Acne Free in 3 Days!
What makes a blessed marriage that can last 50 years?
Hi dear all! I’m going to get married soon. THRILLED! Yet I think there is a lot more to be prepared mentally for married life. It’s more practical, mixed with chores and triffles, probably not as romantic as before.
What’s in your idea is the most important to make a blessed marriage? Somebody says to put yourself into other’s shoes. Any other tips? I really wanna celebrate our golden marriage with the same person I married 50 years ago!Thx!

How to Make Your Ex Return Your Calls
Hi,
Are there ‘magic’ words you can use
to get your ex to return your phone calls?
Sounds hard to believe but there ARE words
that will nearly cast a spell and make your ex
feel almost compelled to return your call.
Cool huh?…
I am going to share this with you because
this is one of the biggest questions I get
from the over 35,000 subscribers just
like you that are trying to put their relationship
back together.
So I am going to answer…”How do I get
my ex to return my phone call, text or IM?”
BUT…
***********
WARNING!
***********
In the Magic Of Making Up, I lay
out a complete strategy.
Have a PLAN!==>
If you use this technique alone, without
an ‘overall’ plan or strategy…you may
damage your relationship more than if
they never returned your call.
****************
What NOT to Say!
****************
Before we get into the actual words, let’s
go over what message almost NEVER
works.
and worse…
Puts you in an AWFUL ‘psychological’ position.
These usually fall into 2 categories.
The PLEAD- Where the message sounds like
“John, please, please call me. This is the 3rd
time I have called. I HAVE to talk to you.”
And the EMERGENCY-
“Cindy, this is an emergency. Please call me
as soon as you get this.”
Now, I think you can see what is wrong with
both of those approaches?
So, I won’t go on and on…
************************************
How To Use Curiosity & Self Interest
To Your Advantage
***********************************
Two of the most powerful forces in
the human mind are
*Curiosity &
*Self Interest
And here’s the BIG SECRET!
When you combine the two, you
have a recipe that WILL work ‘magic’
So…
Let’s look at what you can say
that works nearly EVERY TIME.
In a friendly tone:
“Hi John. It’s Cindy. I wanted to let
you know I appreciate what you did for
me. Call me because I want to thank you
in person.”
Do you see how that uses BOTH curiosity
and self interest?
John will NOT be able to resist! “What did I do?”
“What does she appreciate?” he will be thinking. And
he feels good because it is a positive message.
Now…
Before you call you need to do the
“Set Up”…which is figuring out what
he/she did that you appreciate.
It can be any small thing…but needs to
be plausible.
But more importantly…
************
2nd WARNING!
************
Please have an underlying strategy
like I lay out in the Magic Of Making
Up System BEFORE you call.
Have a PLAN!==>
If you apply this technique with
no underlying strategy and they
call you back you can do more
DAMAGE than good if you do not
handle it correctly.
Okay?
What I am saying is…
What you do before, during and
after you get them to return your
call is MORE important than getting
them to return your call.
Make sense?
Have a PLAN!==>
Rooting For You,
T Dub
