How is it possible for couples to ';stop'; loving each other?

I just don't understand this. I mean, could you ever ';fall out of love'; with your mother or you child?





I think people who say this never loved the person in the first place.How is it possible for couples to ';stop'; loving each other?
I don't think it's that we stop loving each other, it's just that we stop being 'in' love with each other. I mean I've been with my husband for 6 years and in the early years of our marriage he cheated on me, and lied about it. And then continued on after being caught, I thought that I could get past it because I love this man, and regardless of the fact that he cheated and lied, we can get past this, right? Wrong! This was about 3 years ago and I've honestly tried to get over it, but all the lies and betrayal that I went through with him, I'm slowly coming to the realization, that maybe I'm no longer in love with him. Have you ever heard that song by Tina Turner, ';What's Love Got To Do With It,'; I finally understand what it means. I don't think it's possible for a couple to stop loving each other, after all the hell my husband put me through, I still love him, and I always will. The bigger, more important issue is am I still in love with him. There is a difference between the two, and the sooner you figure it out, the better off you'll be.How is it possible for couples to ';stop'; loving each other?
i don't think couples actually stop loving each other i mean if they were really in love in the first place, i think some couples who say that they don't love the other one just do it because they either don't want to or do not know how to explain why they want a divorce/break up whatever , if you say that it's like a means to a end ,like there is no -way i want you back or we are never getting back together. it tends to crush the other person's hope for any type of reconciliation, at least in my particular case i told my recent ex-husband i didn't love him anymore i did and i still do and i always will ,plus we have son together , so it's just one of those things , however i so not want him back period ,we had fun , and of course lots of hard times together , now we are both in really good relationships and i would never change the fact we met and were together so long , i learned alot of things , and we are still friends so it all works out in the end.
Lack of communication and withholds(bad actions concealed).





Ciao..John-John.
I don't necessarily think you ';stop'; loving someone. I just think people grow apart. People change. Not all couples change in the same direction. Not only that, but sometimes when we fall in love with someone they are not always the person we thought they were.
You are right you can't fall in love with someone and then fall out of it.If it's that easy you where never in love.
People change. Sometimes you like the changes. Sometimes you don't. Sometimes they weren't who they pretended to be when you first met them.





Sometimes you're mistaking passion/lust for love. Love can be incredibly boring...and some people don't get that.
People change and love does fade.. *sigh*. That being said, mother and child have a bond that unfortunately ';partners'; don't. And depending on expectations age all these are factors on staying together
Honestly, I think the problem arises mainly when 1) someone is too quick to declare ';love'; in response to the other party in order to avoid hurting their feelings or some other ridiculous response or 2) when one person does not understand what love is and thinks the passing of those lovely initial hormonal surges means the end of love. I have been in your shoes, you can't know what they are or was thinking or feeling, or the motives for there actions. It hurts now, but you can find true love someday, probably when you're not looking. So be strong, %26amp; good luck.
Anything that you can fall into, you can fall out of. It's just a fact of life. Nothing, and I mean nothing, lasts forever.
I think people who ask questions like this have not loved long enough.
very good question. many factors can make a couple fall out of love. from outside family members, gossip, different interests, different up-bringing, etc. in my case, my wife %26amp; i are 2 totally different people altogether. we were different when we got together, but now it worse as ever. in my experience, ive found when 2 people who come together (from completely different backgrounds) usually will clash on many issues. from raising kids, house-hold duties, financial decisions, etc. then again, i know of couples who are way different %26amp; make a great team. i think when the common ground you both shared at one point is gone, then everything starts drifting away. my wife %26amp; i are used to shop together, workout together, take kids to park, go 2 sporting events, go 2 eachother's family gatherings, etc. but since my wife got in an accident at work, her family now always wanting to borrow our car, drug use, not agreeing with other immediate families lifestyles, etc. were just not same couple anymore. couples that ive seen with common ground, whether it be similar interests, family values, goals, etc can go a long way since they compliment eachother as a team. member there is no ';I'; in team....its all about ';we.'; as in kids, husband/wife, household priorities, etc.

Is it advisable for couples to split bank accounts?

reading this q, i cannot help but remember this story where this wife tells a friend that her husbands money is theirs but her money is all hers.





so with that in mind, couples should have a joint bank account


%26amp; wives should have a bank account of her own.





the husbands can just later on ask for money from their wives if they need more than their usual budget money. lol.Is it advisable for couples to split bank accounts?
My partner and I have our own separate accounts, as well as a joint account.Is it advisable for couples to split bank accounts?
As a guy I think the answer is no. It's best just to give everything to the wife. Send the paycheck to her account directly. It cuts down on so much drama and problems and really eliminates the whole issue of money. I mean even if she does decide to leave you it's like winning the lottery because you get back your pay checks that won't be going to her anymore. I guess worst case scenario you get half of everything she was use to.





Best thing is that if she is a greedy woman who will leave you for your money--then this is the best way to get rid of her and on with your life.
zzz... if you eat banana split then you should split your bank account. hmmm... beer... zzz...
Yes, it is highly advisable.





A good strategic financial plan is necessary to prevent financial breakdown.





Smart money decisions will help everyone in the family for unexpected tragedy or any kind of emergency.





Long term goals will cover the cost for everyone.





The financial manager of the family must be in control.


If couples agree and have understanding and working toward the same goal, life will be easy.
Definitely.. You could have a joint one provided that you have a separate bank account.. Although you are married, it is convenient just to spend something without explaining yourself... It helps the relationship too unless the other one is not responsible enough to have his or her own account
I'm too young to answer your question... but I think so... in case of unexpected and unwanted tragedies (you know what I mean), you still have your own privacy and none of you could touch each others' bank accounts, in case!
Always have your own, as well as a joint account.
In most arrangements, social or business, it is always best not to put all your coconuts in one basket.





If one bank account gets busted (Bank folds), there is still another one to hold up the marriage/ business venture.
i think there should be yours, mine and ours --- as far as checking account is concerned. savings account, however, should be joint. this arrangement is easier for all concerned and gives the individuals greater freedom to manage their day-to-day finances. long-term fiscal responsibility should, however, be shared.
in my experience yes, explaining why ,where,when to withdraw the money is a real hassle. eversince we opened separate acct things become lighter for both of us.i dont use supplementary creditcard either i have mine in my name but he do all the payment lols..btw im a stayhome mom ;)
Yes. I'm for different accounts for each of them. While we're at it, a pre-nup would be the best, along with the separate bank accounts. (Before, I always handed every cent I earned to my wife, even cash gifts from my parents and relatives as this was ';supposedly'; the right thing to do. When she left, the only thing I had was my kid. I started from scratch again.)





I'm not saying every woman will leave you whenever they please when they have control of the cash. I'm just saying it's better safe than sorry. Having different bank accounts is the safe route, in my opinion.
Get a joint and separate account. Your hubby could be irresponsible with money.

    Why is it that couples tend to ';merge'; so to speak?

    Example: Mike has catch phrases that he uses. His girlfriend Jan unconsciously uses them after three months of being together. Jan has a few bad habits that Mike seems to have caught as well.





    Why is it that couples tend to become one?





    Is it a bad thing? Or is it suggesting that the couple will work out in the future?Why is it that couples tend to ';merge'; so to speak?
    it's not a bad thing. it's like if you move to another place with a different accent... eventually you catch the accent. couples spend so much time with each other that they rub off on eachother. it's a nice thing, that shouldn't be taken too far.Why is it that couples tend to ';merge'; so to speak?
    People ';tend to become one'; because that's what's most often strived-for in a relationship. It's the quintessential reason for being with another.. It only makes sense that they would adopt some of the ways of each other, as this is indicative of an understanding, acceptance, and adoption of the others ways, and under ideal circumstances would be taken as a compliment..





    Where the problem lays is what to do with all that's been ';adopted'; after the couple's relationship has been dissolved...
    Pretty cool! I love it when I hear my wife use my words when she's talking to other people. I believe it comes from being together constantly.

    Best Adult Show for Couples in Las Vegas?

    My boyfriend and I want to go to our first Las Vegas show, but are not sure which one to go to. I've read Crazy Girls at the Riviera, Crazy Horse at MGM Grand, Fantasy at Luxor and X Burlesque are good shows. Which is the best? Or are there any other shows you'd recommend that would be entertaining to both him and I? Thanks for your responses! :)Best Adult Show for Couples in Las Vegas?
    Zumanity is totally the best for couples. I have seen it twice. Try to get seats on the couples couches. They are great! The show is at New YorkBest Adult Show for Couples in Las Vegas?
    When I think of an Adult show for couples, I immediately think of Zumanity. I have never seen it, but you can tell from their ads all over the place in Vegas. The seats can be relatively inexpensive, and it is a Cirque Du Soleil show so you can't go wrong with that. It is known as the ';sensual side of Cirque Du Soleil.'; Here is a description





    ';It's Vegas, be a little provocative. ZUMANITY, The Sensual Side of Cirque du Soleil, is a seductive twist on reality, making the provocative playful and the forbidden electrifying! Leave all inhibitions at the door and let loose as this adult-themed production takes you on a sexy thrill ride full of sensational acrobatics and naughty fun. Part burlesque and part cabaret, ZUMANITY is one full night you'll never forget! Now that's a Las Vegas show!';





    The prices range from $69- $129. The $129 tickets (which you must buy 2 of) are actually a sofa that you and your boyfriend can use. http://www.zumanity.com/en/tickets/seati鈥?/a>
    Zumanity is supposed to be pretty erotic. But I have not seen it. It is a Cirque du Soleil show with lots of athletic bare bodies and suggestive stuff.





    Below is a site with reviews of all Vegas shows.





    *
    My wife and I have been to Follies and enjoyed it. It is not erotic but rather an ';old Vegas'; topless show.





    With the guys, I have been to Crazy Girls and it was miserable. IMHO not recommended for guys, girls or couples.
    Zumanity is the best. Crazy horse was like going to a topless bar, Crazy girls a little better. A lot of those shows are stripper shows.


    Zumanity has very talented performers and is erotic well worth the money.
    My husband and I saw Zumanity and both of us LOVED it! It was very erotic, but also entertaining on other levels. A well rounded show and well worth the money. I recommend it to anyone who asks about a Vegas show.
    I would recommend the Cirque show Zumanity
    Friends of ours went to Fantasy and seemed to enjoy it quite a bit. Espeically after the show was over...

    What's your opinion on inter-racial relationships? Black and White couples.?

    I had rather my daughter marry someone that treats her very well no matter what the race....also they make the most beautiful children.What's your opinion on inter-racial relationships? Black and White couples.?
    ';they can date but they shouldn't get married beacuse the children will be ridiculed'; I don't agree with that mixed persons are pretty and I don't think they will be worse off than a white or black person

    Report Abuse


    What's your opinion on inter-racial relationships? Black and White couples.?
    As long as its man and woman I'm cool with it.
    I'm not racist, altogether, either. But such relationships are OK, long as they don't get married and become parents, because the children they have, will get ridiculed by other children, of various ages and that's something that, I'd prefer to avoid, if I ever become the parent, that I want to become. I wouldn't mind marrying Mexican, or a European, but that's different. The state I live was once part of Mexico.
    as long as they love each other, it doesn't matter.
    I have no problem with it. I think the important thing is love. If they love and respect each other, isn't that all that matters?
    I don't agree. However, true LOVE is color blind, so whether or not I DONT AGREE.... I'm not in a position to judge TRUE LOVE.
    LOVE is color blind...


    If you can find it, take it and run with it.


    LIFE is short!!!
    I have no problem with it, but some people do and that's why its a burden to the children of mixed marriages.I speak from experience and I have been discriminated against because of my husband and actually feared for my life once.
    wats wrong wit that r u racist or something
    Why the Hell not? If you get along, that's awesome. You shouldn't need to ask. Be happy.
    i don't like it,but i don't give a crap either as long it doesn't have anything to do with me.THE ones you see are the trashy white girls that's hooked on dope or trashy ones that have no self esteem and trashy fat girls who cant get anybody else.and of course we have the retarded white trash too.99.99% of white trash and a black man dating is drug related.and this answer does not reflect upon being racist i have not stated any racist remarks.
    Nothing is wrong with inter-racial marriages or relationships. Not to me, but unfortunealy i am not the only person who lives on the earth and the reality is that some people are racist and it can make things harder for any child from this marriage. My advice for its worth is if your in love and everything is fine between you why go looking for trouble.Other people who are racist wont have anything to do with you but those who love you and care about you will be there.

    In America, do (adult) couples sometimes get mad enough to not speak for a day or two, and then they make up?

    My BF and I got into a big argument. And he hung up on me last night! He normally calls several times a day. Two days ago he wanted to move in together and get married! Now he's not talking to me? I'm the one who called last night; I'm not calling again. Should I consider this the end?In America, do (adult) couples sometimes get mad enough to not speak for a day or two, and then they make up?
    Yeah but only the immature ones.In America, do (adult) couples sometimes get mad enough to not speak for a day or two, and then they make up?
    Of course couples in America get into fights and then don't speak to each other for a couple days.


    I don't think it's the end. I guess it depends on what the argument was about and how serious it was. If you called him a bunch of names or not, etc.


    You should call him and apologize if it is definitely your fault.

    Do you think it's cool or geeky to see wedding couples have taken dance lessons for their first dance?

    I loved it. My brother did this with his wife. The whole family was floored at how well they danced! It was so fantastic to watch. I think it was well worth it!


    Best wishes to you!Do you think it's cool or geeky to see wedding couples have taken dance lessons for their first dance?
    I think it looks just too contrived and fake.


    If all they can do is sway and step - that's just fine!!!Do you think it's cool or geeky to see wedding couples have taken dance lessons for their first dance?
    I think its great as long as its not over the top.





    we are going to take a dance class, I want something more than us just doing the boring hold on to eachother and go in circle/sway thing. BORING





    I know we wont be anywhere near professional dancers but we will be able to dance our first dance with a little style.
    I think that they can be cool! Go to youtube and search for first dances! There are some pretty cool choregraphed first dances!!!
    I think it is a great idea! It even looks spectacular if the whole bridal party has taken them as well...





    We've been married 6 years %26amp; I still can't get mine to take lessons :(
    I would do it, everyone is looking at you so if it makes a better looking couple why not. So it's cool.
    I think it's a sign that the couple has decided together that they need to do something and worked together on a solution.





    It's really pretty icky to go to a wedding and see the couple stumbling all over each other on their first dance. If a few dance lessons can prevent that, I'm all for it.
    I am taking dance lessons - though we started learning to dance just before we got engaged - which was one year before the wedding - so we had plenty of time to practice. I think it can look awesome if people practice enough. It's only if they really don't know what they are doing that it can look kind of 'geeky'!
    Dorky.
    A practiced first dance is more fun to watch if lessons were taken. But it has to be natural.





    I went to one where the bride was so mad because the groom was not doing the right steps. THAT looked bad.





    So, take lessons and wow the guests!





    Good luck! and congrats on your wedding.
    Anything too choreographed looks geeky. But, I have seen couples who took lessons on how to dance in general, and it made their 1st dance great. Like, a couple who learned a basic waltz and then picked a song with that beat.


    It looks very natural that way, not over-done.
    i hope not cuz i plan on doing it! i don't want a choreographed dance or anything but i want him to feel comfortable and know how to move to different styles of music.
    My fiance did ballroom dancing in college competitively. So, if we don't do something choreographed, people will think it is weird!





    I think it just depends on the couple and their personality. To each his or her own!





    Besides, my fiance is a geek:) That is one of the things I love about him.





    Edit: It also depends on the dancing skill of the person. If a person is counting the steps or looking down, it is not well choreographed or the person doesn't have natural skill. If people have dance lessons and are good, it looks smooth.
    If something is choreographed it looks to stiff. you can sometimes see the groom counting out the beats or looking at the floor. I think its better when they just come onto the floor and have a good time. maybe laugh if they mess up. it looks better and you can tell that they are having a good time
    My fiance and I just started lessons. We go twice a week and our wedding is 18 months away! So, we're hoping that we will be naturals by then and it won't look too rehearsed.
    I think it is great!!!! I would rather look like a good dancer than a total fool on the dance floor... so do whatever it takes!
    they enjoy their dance if they dance nice, that's what really matters

    Why is it such a horrible feeling when i see couples on public?

    I'm 19 and never had a GF in my life, every time I see couples i just put my hand over my face and walk away, it really stings when they kiss and act happy in front of you, anyone else feel this pain, especially when the guy is obviously an idiot, cos it makes me wanna just be an idiot and immature so i can fit in with everyone elseWhy is it such a horrible feeling when i see couples on public?
    because your lonely. The right girl will come along.Why is it such a horrible feeling when i see couples on public?
    I used to have the same feeling, now I'm just glad for them


    you gotta experience love to be happy for others who found it





    don't stoop to anyone's level, just be yourself and someday a girl will love you for it, and she WILL be a keeper cuz there's the ones that go out with the idiots are usually idiots themselves
    Yes, I can relate to that. Don't ignore that feeling, it's telling you something important - that you wish you had a partner as well. Put as much energy as you can into finding someone before this feeling develops into a bitter and twisted general hatred of people. It might be an intimidating prospect but it is worth it!
    well you are one sad boy thats for sure. but its not that big of a deal. I believe that you should just go speed dating or on a multiplayer web site to meet some ladies (if there are any on runescape or such) or two. so live ur nice little love life and thank me later!
    Dont be something your not it makes you look weak then you surely will never find a girl just be yourself everything happens in time and i have a gf and i still hate seeing couples together they always make me so damn uncomfortable.
    well is it your choice that you don't want a girlfriend? if so, your just waiting for the perfect girl, keep doing it... it will pay off big time. or if you want one and it isn't your choice be social, go to clubs and what not.
    you aren't alone!





    i feel the same, i'm only 17 though..
    you're the only one i think. i mean, sometimes it bothers people a little, but nothing too much. usually it's only annoying if they're like, making out. don't worry, hon, someday your love will find you.
    It's okay. It is just your hormones. Ask a girl out! You are a boy! Sadly boys are the ones who ask the girls but ask a girl! Or go on eharmony.com! hehe lol!
    cuz your the only guy that isn't confident enough to talk to a girl oh yea and you seem like just someone that gives up easy
    you just probably have low self esteem for whatever reason (see bambam).. but youre still young and try to explore more.. meet new friends and start from there
    yeah when you dont have someone to love it sucks seeing other people in love; i cant stand being around my sister and her husband when im single; dont change yourself; your girl will come to you in good time
    You need to get over the wussy mode. Go to www.doubleyourdates.com and learn how to get the girl.
    I don't like stupid guys. It sucks to see people happy when ur sad.
    It's alright, it's just because you lack testicles.

    One Piece didn't have a pairing stuff like Naruto %26amp; Bleach does. Agree with some of the answerer above, One Piece is all about adventure. They don't have this cheesy, fan speculate, pairing stuff. I don't mind stuff like that because most of it usually comes from girls. They likes this kinda stuff.


    But I have to admit it's funny to see Naruto and Bleach fanboys pairing a character together XD





    So, yeah. There isn't any couple/pairing in One Piece. There's nothing serious between Sanji and Nami except they're friends. One Piece is about adventure, friendship, what are you willing to do to protect your friends. How can they achieved their goal, stuff like that.Are there any couples in one piece?

    i think as long as your a happy stable couple and have the money for a baby i think yes you have every right. good luckShould same sex couples be entitled to IVF treatment on the NHS?
    Now that i understand your question I can see it's a very good one!


    A 'normal' couple (sorry didn't know how else to word it!) would only be entitled to fertility treatment on the NHS if the long list of criteria was met... I'm not sure what the rules are on same sex couples, I'm sure each area would have different rules....


    It's a very touchy subject and I can understand both sides of the argument...


    But their point is, Gay or straight:


    infertile = NHS fertility treatment... or


    no fertility issues = no NHS fertility treatment.


    The same rules apply for 'normal' couples, you can only have it for a medical reason. Just because they are 'same sex' doesn't mean they can ignore the criteria that others have to go through. Then that would become unfair too. A normal couple couldn't expect NHS IVF without having a diagnosed fertility problem which has been ongoing for a least two years...


    But I can completely understand how sad it must make them to not be entitled to financial help to pay for their treatment... but sorry I don't believe they can jump the queue for being gay...
    Listen...look at the Octuplet lady. She has no job, but the money. She is not married, so i dont see why someone else that is not married, regardles of the partner choice, shouldnt be allowed the same freedom...best of luck if you are trying to conceive :)
    what are you trying to say? Please edit before you send through...your statement doesn't make any sense!

    Who are the couples in digimon?

    Is it different in japanese than english? I know Sora and Matt were together, but the english version doesn't really show much about that. And what happened to Tai? Weren't he and Sora supposed to be together?





    and plz don't answer the usual: ';the difference is japanese version is better';Who are the couples in digimon?
    Yup they are Tai and Sora


    But Sora was confused between Tai and Matt


    Remember Season2


    when matt held the music concert


    and she get him a present in Xmas


    %26amp; Tai saw her





    She was so scared





    But After that in the concert


    when it was interrupted


    and Matt held Sora


    after that everything changed





    So she Finally Decided that she wants Matt





    That's it

    How about a couples massage for valentine's day, would he like it?

    If you two are comfortable with a massage... go for it!How about a couples massage for valentine's day, would he like it?
    I'm sure he would, especially if he does anything physical for a living. Nice idea!How about a couples massage for valentine's day, would he like it?
    Just remember when you make the appointment to specify that he gets a female masseuse, not a male.





    (I made that mistake once!)
    As long as there is a ';happy ending';
    I would ask him first. Some people prefer to be alone during a massage! Also, you may want to see if he has a preference as to the gender of therapist giving him the massage and make sure to request that when booking the appointment.

    Why do married couples always seem to look like eachother?

    After a while, it seems that married couples kinda end up looking like eachother. Anyone know why?Why do married couples always seem to look like eachother?
    This is an easy answer. The wife buys all the crap for them both to wear.Why do married couples always seem to look like eachother?
    Yes, it is because of the amount of time they spend together. They end up picking up each others' facial expressions and mannerisms.





    Perhaps part of the reason some couple look like each other physically is because many women (who had a good relationship with their father) are attracted to men that remind them of their fathers. Its not like women are attracted to their fathers, it's just that is what they grew up knowing as a ';good man';. Naturally women have some of their fathers genetic makeup and look like their father, and if they are attracted to men that look like their father then the men they are attracted to will look a little like themselves (confusing, sorry). There was an article about it on yahoo awhile back.
    I read about this once...


    It's because they talk to each other so much and make the same facial expressions, shaping their faces to look the same.
    they dont look like each other except on rare occasions and that is just weird.
    Well, I'd say the majority of them don't, but I have seen it. Sometimes it's because they have a shared ethnicity. But there's a more interesting reason - sometimes a person chooses a spouse because they like how they themselves look, and choose someone who looks like. One of my sisters and her husband look like they could be brother and sister, but she doesn't see at all how much they look alike! It's kind of freaky.... It's kind of the ultimate in narcissism, making love to yourself....
    ';Always'; is not a very good word. If you use the word ';sometimes,'; you are generally on the right track. Jimobasa has hit the nail on the head. See why you should try to avoid the word ';aways?';
    I think its because they eat together and sleep together, They spend such a large percentage of their time together its inevitable.
    I've seen a dog and its owner look alike.





    Spend enough time around someone (or something), you automatically start to look like them. I think it's in the way facial muscles move to express themselves. You automatically copy. It's subconscious; subliminal.





    Know how we all have a certain way of saying things, a certain tone to our voice? Well I've noticed that after a while, my workmates will start to say things the way I do, and I also do the same, because I overhear them speaking all the time, without even being conscious of it.





    I wouldn't mind looking like my wife a little. A little beauty balances things out, right?





    A lot of couples that have been married for like half a century look like brother and sister after that long.
    LOL, this is true isnt it. It doesnt even have to happen over time, my husband and I started right off the bat looking like each other. The first time I went to my husbands office after he had introduced me as his wife his boss told me he thought I was his sister not his wife.





    I guess its because we tend to choose mates that remind us of our parents (fathers for girls, mothers for boys) and we must choose this way in looks as well, so if we choose a man who looks like our fathers then we naturally look like our dads, so we'll look like our husbands too. Thats my best guess.
    lol! great question . . . i find that true too, and still don't know why but it is irritating =)
    One of my best friends is Indian and his wife is from turkey


    They look nothing alike and have been together for over 10 years.


    I think it's dogs and their owners that look alike ?
    there interests on looks start connecting cuz they talk 2 each other so much
    you think that's bad,how about when they start to look like their dogs?
    It's part of that mutual attraction and chemistry. Likeness meets and is attracted to likeness.
    I believe it kinda goes back to the Oedipus complex.





    Basically it states that (in a man's case) a man want's to kill his father and marry his mother (and a similar case for women also).





    Another known statement is that men tend to date people similar to their mothers, esp. in the looks category. Even I've noticed myself doing the same.
    Not physically but perhaps their mannerism, behavior or actions may appear similar. After marriage and spending so much time together, they tend to mimick each other.
    Because they are ';茂n tune';with each other so much.
    Don't know why, but when I was younger I used to think most married couples were actually brothers and sisters!


    It's the same with dog owners, have you noticed how their dogs resemble them, sometimes in looks and sometimes in character (closeted character too)
    I think it's because they are together a lot, they end up sometimes even wearing the same type of clothes and saying the same things... which of course makes them look llike each other a lot more... it's loooove
    that's the nature of love!!!!!!!!
    if they keep looking at each other, they get their looks....i dont know!
    good question...I like to know myself too...also, pet and pet owner also look like each other in time AND as a added bonus your pet adapt your personality and lifestyle. lol!
    I read an article on msn a while back that was about a study that said a lot of people are attracted to people who look like themselves or have certain traits that are very similar to the traits they have.


    Its kinda just about all the chemistry involved with attraction





    I think also when your with someone for a while you start to dress more alike and take on traits the other person has like ways they move or faces they make or hand gestures they make.
    The first reason would be that we spend so much time together we pick up each other's habits, expressions, mannerisms.


    The second reason is that normally the wife ends up dressing the husband like she wants him to dress. (Face it fellas, a t-shirt and tennis shoes are not appropriate for all venues!!!) You tend to begin mirroring these things when you're dating, kind of matching your styles to each other.
    Cause if they have the same quite or wild personalities they might do the same things. For example, if there was a couple and they were both on the wild side they would probably wear simular clothes to fit their personalities.
    Well I'm a slim white guy 5'6'; tall and 138 pounds and my beautiful beloved wife Marlene is a Black Jamaican lady 5'9'; tall and 350 pounds. I don't think we'll ever get to look like each other
    Because when 2 people get married the become one and when they are in love they look like eachother. I looked just like my best friend in high school because we use to be together all the time, we looked like sisters... at least thats what people use to say now she moved away we dont look alike anymore but we are still friends. I think its just a matter of being together all the time youjust start to resemble eachother.
    It's not really a physical thing; it's the fact that they spend so much time together that they pick up each other's expressions and mannerisms.
    because they spend so much time together that that adapt to how each other dresses and then start to adapt their own style to their partners. It also has a great deal to do with their connection to each other, especially if they have children.
    Its like people kind of look like there pets.
    thats called inbreeding and its wrong

    Difficult for couples to talk about sex?

    Why is it so difficult for couples to talk about sex?





    What about parents and their children? What would make it easier for people to talk about sex (e.g., times, places, resources, etc.)?





    I would just like some different viewpoints on this matter.Difficult for couples to talk about sex?
    I personally dont find it hard to talk with my bf about sex. If you really love someone and trust them it shouldnt be to hard. Plus if you want to try something new its easier to talk about itand you can make the experience better :)





    Parents i dont even talk to them about it mainly coz i dont want them to know what i do and my dad already says enough about contraception i think its coz adults dont treat us as adults and think we wuldnt hav safe sex etc and think we r stupid and treat us that way. grrrr





    With my friends im open like i wuldnt tell them intimate details as that is between me %26amp; my bf but we talk bout it.Difficult for couples to talk about sex?
    I am in a relationship and have a kid, and I find it easy to talk about sex with them both. My kid is only eight, so the material now is not that involved, obviously, but I still am comfortable.
    to be honest, when I'm in a relationship, I find it very easy to talk about sex with my mate.


    with close friends it is easy too.


    with friends, it's a bit awkward, but it's not like I'm dying of humiliation.


    and with parents, it's too awkward to believe.


    but this is the view of a fairly open teenager,


    so it depends who you are, and where you stand with your openess.
    I do not have a problem talking about sex with my husband or my children. You have to have good communication with each other. Your children have to be comfortable talking to you about things.

    How many couples meet from the internet and marry?

    I met my husband on the internet and he moved from another state to be with me. He is my soul mate. I wonder how many others are out there that are like us!!!!How many couples meet from the internet and marry?
    I met my husband on the Internet in 2001. We've been married since January 2002. I'm American and he's British, and I moved all the way out to England to be with him. Love knows no bounds.How many couples meet from the internet and marry?
    I met my husband almost 9 years ago on the internet. We have been married for only 1 1/2 years, we started living together after 3 monthes though. Yes, we are happy. Thank goodness for the internet
    My wife and I met on the internet, she lived in Louisanna I lived in Indiana. After several flights down there and her coming up here we married and she moved up here with 4 of her childern. She didn't want to stay there as she lived in St. Bernard Parish and after last year I'm glad I couldn't convince her to let me move down there!!!!
    My other half met another woman on the Internet and he moved to another state to met up with her, and that is how we met...





    So If he never went to another state for the other woman, we probably would have never met and got together in the first place and that was six years ago and we are still together...





    congrats on finding your soul mate.

    What words of wisdom would you give to engaged couples?

    Was at a bridal shower and a book was passed around asking for words of wisdom from all the women there. What words of wisdon can both men %26amp; women give to our soon-to-be-wed couples?What words of wisdom would you give to engaged couples?
    Love is like a garden. You must remember to tend to it daily and weed out all that seeks to smother it. With enough sunshine and with some rain too, its roots will take strong hold and survive throughout the seasons.What words of wisdom would you give to engaged couples?
    Obviously love! Communication, communication, communication!!! Respect ,patience and understanding. Never ,ever, go to bed mad!
    Stay in the church respect each other and never keep any secrets. communicate.
    The things you did to win the heart, keep doing to keep the heart.
    I think the best advice I ever recieved was from my sister. She told me to not call my mother every time my husband and I had problems or arguments... it will only make things escalate. I didnt understand what she meant at first, so she went on and explained it like this.. Say you have and argument and you give details about the ';he said'; and ';she said'; etc... well, you are telling this to the person who gave birth to you, who loves you unconditionally, who always will and who feels that it is their right to protect you and nurture you no matter how old you are... so when your parent hears the ugly or hateful things that are said in the heat of an argument, things that were said to their child, they will hold a resentment there, as a couple we can argue and then move on, when someone hurts your child you dont forget or forgive very easily. So in short, dont take your problems to your parents, you dont want them harboring unkind thoughts about your spouse. Keep the peace and keep it to yourself. It has worked like a charm for me almost 5 years now.. peace.
    Talk about everything, have no secrets.
    Communication is 30% talking and 70% listening and understanding.
    Wait a year, or preferably two before you have children!
    Divorce is not an option. Do not get married until you are 30 years old. You are both on the same team. You want what is best for each other. Communicate, communicate, communicate.
    Never go to bed angry.


    Be approachable from all sides - no secrets!


    Have a special place in your house in which to put flowers to signify your love for one another (if you fight, put some flowers there to signify you want to make up - or just put some there to say I love you)


    Don't forget to say I love you at least once a day.


    TATOO YOUR ANNIVERSARY ON YOUR HAND SO THERE ARE NO EXCUSES!!!
    building blocks of marriage start now. honor each other with your time and talk about it all
    I would say always put your MARRIAGE first. It's no longer just about you and just about him. It's about each other. And sometimes doing what's best for your marriage doesn't always seem fair. But as long as you do what's best for your marriage, nobody has the right to be upset when they don't get their way. Have TONS of other advice for you, but let's just keep it simple for now and stick with that!
    I would say ,,,Treat each other as you want to be treated at all times and to keep the lines of communication going strong,,,Ask each other questions often and always tell each other to say '; I love you especially when You don't want to..


    GOOD LUCK and Best wishes !


    You probably heard this toast,,but it goes...MAY ALL YOUR UPS AND DOWNS BE BETWEEN THE SHEETS!!!
    JUST LOVE EACH OTHER ALL YOU CAN..
    Tell them to learn how to ';pick their battles';





    It is tempting for married couple to fight for and over everything...but the reality is couples who realize which battles are worth fighting have a happier marriage.
    Talk TO each other, not AT each other. Keep the lines of communication open, ALWAYS. No one person is better than the other.
    From what I've learned in my 20 year marriage......


    Communication is the most important part


    of a relationship in marriage.


    The beginning is full of physical and emotional feelings.


    Eventually, you come up for air and have other things in your


    life to deal with...bills, home, in laws, work, having children...and if you can't communicate your feelings, and tell each other what you're happy with and what you are not happy with about each other, eventually the silence is what ends what was once a wonderful beginning.


    Having your partner as a lover AND a best friend is the best marriage of all.


    I never had that. We thought that being physical meant we had a great relationship. But, if at the end of the day, you can't sit down and communicate, what else is left?


    It was silence for my marriage.


    I died a little everyday.


    And the end result was my divorce, something I never thought I would be~~A divorced woman.


    So.......


    these are my words of wisdom to the soon~to~be~wed~couples.


    I hope I helped...cause I am now late for a date!!!!!!
    Okay, I know I will get some thumbs down for this one, but here it goes anyway..





    We'd like to think that all marriages last forever, but sadly statistics prove otherwise. We are not mind readers and do not know what the future holds..with that being said, I will tell you to plan for the future and always have a backup plan. Have a separate bank account from the hubby. It's not about trust and secretcy, it's about your security if god forbid something goes wrong. I know plenty of women who think everythings all fine and dandy when they get married, and then some sh*t hits the fan and they can't leave bc they are not financially able to. You do not want to depend on your man for everything and feel that you have to stay with him bc you didn't save your own money.





    Trust me, men do it to, (well if they are smart they do..) they have separate savings. It's always good to keep your stash separate (as well as one together).





    If you are smart then a safe deposit box is even better than a separate bank account as it (the bank account) can still become part of divorce settlement. You need to hide money where it can't be found by your partner or their lawyer.Good luck I hope your marriage won't come to this.

    Her latest update was ';I'm playing scrabble with my Hubby!!';








    ooh Puh- Leese!Am I the only person that gets annoyed with couples that think they need update their statuses about each?
    YES I do completely. I am considering cancelling my facebook account all together for one of may reasons such as the one you mentioned. It makes me, a single gal feel like a leper.
    why cant you guys just be happy for them?? youre making yourselves sound like bitter jealous people..find someone who makes YOU happy and leave their happiness alone..
    Sounds like someone is a little bitter

    Why do couples like to have sex ?

    I'm just curious that why people tend to like about sex. I think it's kind of quirky.Why do couples like to have sex ?
    Because some fee that it's part of them making love instead of just always saying it. Also because they get pleasure out of iT. Finally they think that it's part of their relationship.Why do couples like to have sex ?

    you should totally read this, i think it's a beautiful answer to your question.
    If you have to ask the question, then it's obvious that you've either never had it or you've not done it with the right person.
    because its funn...

    Should fertile couples be able to adopt children?

    This isn't my personal opinion- it's strictly out of curiosity and a desire for some good intellectual arguments.





    There are a lot of couples who can't procreate (because they're a bad match, or because one of them is infertile for some reason), and they wait YEARS to adopt a child of their own and give it a good home.





    Should couples who CAN have biological children receive the same opportunity?








    (For arguments' sake, let's not assume this is a legal issue- rather, should fertile couples receive PRIORITY in adopting children)Should fertile couples be able to adopt children?
    Hey...some people who are completely fertile have problems conceiving. I know I did. You don't know the heartbreak when all of your friends and family members have had their kids and are well on their way being a parent and no you're the outcast because they're all talking babies and you're not, yet you go to doctor after doctor and they all tell you that there is nothing physically wrong with you, that you should be able to conceive, it's all ';in your head';. You go buy books, listen to the weirdest things from the weirdest people meaning to help you get pregnant but it still doesnt happen. Just the stress of wanting a kid right now and not wanting to wait can keep a souple from conceiving. Been there, done that. Once I gave up all hope and started making other plans for my life and got comfortable with that, BOOM - I was pregnant.





    So, yes...for once, I agree with the majority here. Every person should be allowed to adopt, but no one gets preference. It beats babies abandoned in trash dumpsters any day....Should fertile couples be able to adopt children?
    I believe there is absolutely no problem with fertile couples adopting children. Those children are out there needing loving homes and, hopefully, those people will be good loving parents. I don't think they should have priority though, as they can have children and infertile ones cannot. If the fertile parents to be are in that big of a hurry to have kids they can start to make their own. It'll only take 9 months to produce a child. Hey, this one even looks like them!
    There are too many orphans in this world who need a loving home for us as a society to be able to say no only infertile couples may adopt.





    There is no room to prioritise based on ones fertility, the process should be conducted entirely on the couples ability to care for and support the children throughout their lives.
    I think fertile couples should be able to adopt children.





    Sometimes, the woman doesn't want to go through the pains of pregnancy/childbirth, but her husband wants a child. In that case, the couple should be able to adopt.





    I see no reason why not. However, everyone should have an even priority on the list.
    I'm all for that, Beside, There are always some unwanted baby anyway. Rather than putting them in an orphanage till 18, might as well let them feel the love and a normal life from their adoptive parents
    they must be first sterilized before adopting.... :)
    Yes, I think they should because it gives the child a home.

    Are the rights of domesitc partners in California in any way different than the rights of married couples?

    They're not transportable from state to state, and federal tax laws do not recognize them, for starters.

    Why do people have such a problem with Cousin Couples?

    Even though as far as most religions go, it's considered OK, because of Leviticus 18.


    And even though Science tells us the risk of deformities has been way over-exaggerated for such a long time. I mean First cousins only have a 1.7% increased chance after all - women over 35 carry the same risk and it's actually higher with them but they don't suffer for it.





    So why - and put some actual thought into it aside from ';it's sick'; or anything like that. Because that's no argument.





    And it's different than being with your brother/sister. Because they are not your bro or sis. And some people never grow up with their cousins... I, for example, only see most of my cousins each summer.Why do people have such a problem with Cousin Couples?
    In Western society? Look no further than European royal families. Regardless of what science and religion will say in the present day, there's already an incredible stigma against anything that has a shot of producing such inbred lunatics.





    EDIT: I ought to clarify, before any litigants pounce on me, that my statement is in reference to the royalty of yesteryear, and not the present.Why do people have such a problem with Cousin Couples?
    The reason it would be weird in my opinion is the fact that each of your parents are siblings, and that would just be awkward in my opinion.
    cousins are still your relatives though.
    in a lot of religions it is ok to marry you cousin.. like muslim. but they also don't date or go out and meet people. there is limited interaction between the sexes so when the man is ready to get married his family will find him a women , and they are extremely proud of their lineage so you cousin is a good choice,, but in more open cultures like America it is extremely taboo. and i think it is because we are taught to believe it is nasty. animals bread with their siblings and relatives.. humans probably usta too. than we developed societies and tought our young that is its bad. its a common sense thing.. its just not healthy.. science may say now that deformities arnt that common but i have worked with animals for a long time and based on that ( i know its not the same ) but we are basically made up the same way.. when 2 people unrelated have children like a dog for example the child inherits not only genetic traits but they way it thinks too. science has also proved this. so if cousins have kids maby their kids will be fine but if their genes cross into the same genetic pool again and again their kids will start to inherit any genetic defects such as hemofilia ( was started by inbreeding) and the chance of being dummer. and this will carry over when that person has children with someone out side the family because those traits and ways of thinking have been bread into them.. genetically they will be dumb and weak.. diseased. so the argument is based on scientific fact that it is just not conductive ot a healthy society or the best thing to do for the human race when we are quite capable of finding someone that does not share or dna.. it even says in the Qur'an the profit mohammad said to find you mate from far away.

    What is the origin of the taboo against couples with noticeable age differences?

    Probably comes from parents not wanting their children to be with someone who is closer to their age than the kids.

    Why do people still not agree with interracial couples?

    whats wrong with a black female and a white male being together i thought Integration was over.


    share your views pleaseWhy do people still not agree with interracial couples?
    I see nothing wrong with it. A lot of people are still bigots though.Why do people still not agree with interracial couples?
    Its Segregation. But I have no idea. I am married to a black man and Im a white female in Alabama. On of the most racist states. We get it mostly from the white guys and the black females. I don't see why who I am with is anyones concern but mine. It doesn't affect anyones life but me and my hubby. I have heard it is a little better in the north. 0 but not sure bout that) Katie Hawk and loveless that is the most retarded racist thing I have heard lately. No wonder you are LOVELESS!! People like you are the ones that keep this going.
    Racism is still here in USA. Some black people still hate white people. Some white people still hate black people. It's the matter of stereotyping. Today have a bigger racism problem with us against illegal mexican immigrants and annoying somalis moving in USA. They are keeping stealing legal American-born citizens' hard-finding jobs (over 70 million jobs lost to them) especially during 2nd economical crisis since Great Depression and we don't like them taking advantage of government money like welfare and not paying taxes. We worked hard to pay taxes and want them to go to legal American-born citizens not people who are new to our countries. I always heard that people kept complaining about unemployed black women who won't stop breeding so she can use all of her kids as extra free money paid from the gov't which multiplies for each child born. They are forced to be sterilized or use 7-yr implanted birth control if they still refuse to get job and keep breeding.
    I think it all comes down to what parents are teaching their children. Sadly, I think there will always be racism, prejudice, and judgment in this world because it is passed down from parent to child. It kills me when people say they are racist because of experiences that they have had with a race. So does that mean that if you are a white man and you have ';bad experiences'; with other white men that you hate your own race? I doubt it. Some people are just to small minded and judgmental to be accepting.
    I don't know what these people are talking about nor do I care





    But Im from the east coast





    New Jersey to be exact and here no body gives a damn who dates who I dated a few white guys (ok I dated a lot of white guys) And race never came up..I like hanging out with them they like to hang out with me They bring me home to meet their families and I do the same..no one cares





    The same thing applies with living in New York..(since Jersey %26amp; NY are so close) People in NY don't give a damn either...I just meet a nice Italian guy a few months ago and we have been having tons of fun in the city going to movies and riding our bikes around central park...very nice guy who I plan to meet up with tomorrow(were going salsa dancing!!!!)





    Race shouldn't matter well it doesn't matter where I am from..maybe its because the east coast rules in every shape and form (im 20 BTW if that means anything)
    that's just the way it is unfortunately. you just have to live your life and ignore everyone who tries to bring you down. there will always be someone out there who is being a hater no matter who you are dating or married to. you can't control their actions, you can only control yours.
    I dont think its over at all....people have always had problems with that.....and i feel thats its wrong to think that......you should be able to marry or be with anyone you want and it shouldnt be based on race......alot of people even say that interracial couples are in the same place as gay marriage......and just like gay marriage....their is nothing wrong with two members of the same sex being allowed in a relationship. Interracial couples should get the same respect as regular couples.......
    some people are against it because they are Ignorant, and /or the simple fact that they was not raised that way.Its unfortunate that Ignorant people are so close minded,(they are the ones missing out,oh well) Im not saying that I get around like tupac(rip),but I have dated every ethnicity and each of the women liked me the same, so if you know of someone that's ignorant, just avoid them, and don't waste your time dealing with them..
    it isn't my business unless someone makes it my business.





    i don't care if a black guy dates a non-black girl BUT when he decides he needs to justify his actions by bashing black women then i'm upset because he's being prejudice and racist





    i really don't care if someone decides to IR, i will get my 8 hours of sleep regardless.
    there is nothing wrong with it im as white as they come and my hubby is mexican yes we get funny looks walking through the store my daddy wont even meet him i have a little brother that's 1/2 black and a niece that's the same my other sisters hubby is creole they have 2 kids that are beautiful if u love someone go for it and don't let any one tell u ur wrong just be u and love who u want
    there's the saying: ';you can't teach an old dog new tricks';... and it kinda applies in many communities... its no surprise that some people are racists that way, but personally, i find racists in older generation communities, much more so than in the younger generation...





    stay positive, good things will come around eventually... but it is sad to know, that a person can only be named 'hero' if he literally gave his life for his belief... hence my hero, Martin Luther King Jr.





    good luck...
    because they were raised that way. some people just cant let things go... it depends where you are. I'm mixed. When i lived in Idaho, with my white mom and my black dad, our neighbors hated us, and actually started our house of fire twice, and left burning crosses in our yard. People really need to get over it!!!!!!
    it's ignorance. pure and simple. perople are afraid of what they do not understand...this upsets me a lot, actually.





    i have this argument very often with family members, and it usually ends in hurt feelings. if you are in a situation where you feel you are being judged for your choice, you have my support.
    first of all it's segregation and second people are still alive that grew up in the area of integration and segregation so their children and grandchildren are going to be affected by it for quite some time
    The truth is: the majority of people are OK with it. There are still a few closed minded people that still fear the unknown, or fear what they still believe as unnatural,, but they are still living in the 50's
    Because it makes you look bad although i see nothing wrong with it. The bigger problem is if you have kids they are not entirely accepted by either race and usually the kids lean towards the blacks.
    No idea. We're in Toronto, I'm 25 and from Northern Europe. My GF is Jamaican born. No one ever said us anything; but I see people looking at us, which I think is cool, because we're like a walking billboard for United Colors of Benetton :)
    Nothing is wrong with it if they want to be together. You mean ';segregation'; is over. But people are also entitled to their views and opinions, no matter how unpopular.
    Nothing wrong with it, but races tend to be possessive of people of ''their'' race, as if they own you.
    yeah and also what's wrong with a black male and a white female being together i thought Integration was over.
    Don't care what Americans do.
    Nothing! I think BWWM couples are awesome.
    Why do you still assume you need the approval of complete nothings. If you can't handle the heat get out of the fire....
    some agree


    some disagree


    it all depends





    not everyone likes sex or nudity





    most people look under the skirt to see if they can tolerate being with her





    men are fickle
    some people are just ignorant and stuck in the 20's =]
    Nothing. I love my Jamaican-Irish girlfriend. She's my sweet mocha-pie!!!!!!!!!!
    nothing wrong.

    share your views please





    For me if it was just dating I personally could care less but when I see white women having children with black men and those children look physically black while at the same time there are no white children being born into these relationships and those black looking children then grow up calling themselves black or African American then I take issue. There's nothing wrong with being black or African American but white people are not black we are not African Americans we are white we are European Americans.
    It just is you should know better. I bet your not even a black girl. Anyways Its a form of genocide.
    well..


    in most cases the mixed child gets picked on


    for being that way...

You learn suprising things about your friends and it's hysterical!4 couples are getting together for Newyears Eve...any suggestions for fun games to play other than the usuals?

    Wife Swap.
    I am not sure what your usual games are but some of my favorite group games are: Taboo, Scene it TV, WTF (http://bachelorette.com/whatfckgame.html鈥?/a> or karaoke. Have fun!
    Have everyone bring 5 pieces of clothing each....Have two plastic bags big (garbage bags) and as they enter your home,.they are to put the pieces of clothing into the bags.. Items can also include jewelry, wigs, boots scarves, hats, gloves, socks, underwear, bra, slippers...purse......The game is simple.....


    Have two rows of people like, guy, girl,guy,girl on each row..


    Then someone plays a song on the radio, or use a 10 minute timer....When done, the row with the most clothes on wins the booby prize...You have to move fast. Take an item and put it on and pass the bag....first thing you touch, you put on....Everyone starts to look funny with the variety of items of clothing....We thought it was funny years ago....Always do pictionary with a big tablet of paper on an easel..Unless this is your usual.

    Happy New Year and have a safe holiday.....
