GIRLS – Online dating and being very blunt about my views on sex before marriage?
Question by Casual Catastrophe: GIRLS – Online dating and being very blunt about my views on sex before marriage?
I’m not really sure how to go about saying other than I’m an atheist guy but I feel very strongly about saving my virginity until marriage. I don’t want to be with a girl who isn’t waiting either and you can’t exactly go around using “hey.. you a virgin?” as a pickup line now can you? I’m 21 and in college and lets face it, when you are against drinking, partying, and having sex with more than one person.. well it’s not exactly easy to find others in college who are like you. Therefore I feel that my best bet is to turn to online dating.. but is it okay to blatantly post on my profile that I am waiting till marriage and am looking for a girl who is doing the same?
Yes this is a really big deal to me.. I’ve completely gone into shutdown mode on girls that I had everything else in common with and then found out they had done it with other guys. The way I see it if I have the self respect and control to wait then why shouldn’t the girl I end up with have the same views? It’s not something that I’m willing to “lower my standards” for.
Oh and just to prevent any confusion.. when I say “online dating” I don’t mean like using a site to meet someone halfway across the country and hold an online only relationship with them. I am going to try to use something like eharmony to find local singles that are compatible with me where otherwise our paths may never have crossed.
Wanting to wait has nothing to do with going to parties. I hate parties and hate being around drunk people so the fact that 98% of college students love to go to parties and drink means that my options are just THAT much more limited.

Does this guy sound confused about his marriage ?
Question by jackie: Does this guy sound confused about his marriage ?
I’ve been befriending a guy who is separated from his wife & young kids.
He moved out into a fancy bachelor pad . He talks often about his marriage.
On our first date -’ I love my wife” ..” I may get back together with my wife”
” We had true love….but it’s ran it’s course ” ..” I’m not sure we were meant to be together” ..” We can forgive but we can’t forget” ..” Men and women are different ” ..” I’ve been through 2 marriages ” ( as if the current one is over )
Constantly points out what he did wrong. They are now in therapy together trying to work out their differences . There was cheating and controlling behavior.
So I asked him ” Do you want a divorce?” and he answered ” That’s a great question”
Does he sound CONFUSED ?
Best answer:
Answer by SiYo B
Yes, he does very much so. After being married twice he should take the time out to think about where he wants his marriage to lead to. He sounds like he loves his wife but the problems are blinding him from seeing the reason he got married. It’s a good thing he knows where he went wrong. Knowing your flaws and confessing them is an agreement with the heart,but Instead of talking to you about it, maybe he should try talking to his wife.

Confused soul trying to figure out dating, marriage and of different ethinic background in the United States?
Question by Confused Soul: Confused soul trying to figure out dating, marriage and of different ethinic background in the United States?
I have been in the US almost 10 years having moved from India for Bachelors, and pretty much accustomed to almost everything here. I don’t really have an accent, decent-looking, open to all cultures and open to dating/marrying a person of any race. But, I have been probably one of the most unluckiest/un-skilled people when it comes to dating in this country and I have been single for a long time now. I am at point in an Indian’s life (nearing 30) where I am being asked to marry someone through “arranged marriage”, I completely hate that idea. As everyday passes, I feel more American than anything and slowly drifted away from the Indian cultural roots. It’s ironic in a way that a lot of Indian guys date American women for “fun”, and dump them when they are ready to be married. But I have always been different person when it comes to that, and always wanted to be in a relationship-dating-marriage regardless of race/ethnicity, and haven’t been able to get past 1 or 2nd dates, as long as I have been here. I have been all most on every dating site trying to meet people or hoping that I would meet someone that I liked and would also reciprocate those feelings and it’s not happened so far. Almost everyone I know has given me dating “advice”, and nothing has changed so far. With all this pressure I feel like I should just cave in a take the easy route of being in “arranged marriage”, because I have tried hard enough and to no avail when it comes to women in this country. Should I just give up and accept most women in this country for whatever reason are not into me, and stop deluding myself into saying “I haven’t been trying hard enough” and accept the inevitable?

Why did the media interpret Obama’s speech as being in reference to “marriage”?
Question by Healthy Environment: Why did the media interpret Obama’s speech as being in reference to “marriage”?
Obama said in a speech,
“You will see a time in which we as a nation finally recognize relationships between two men or two women as just as real and admirable as relationships between a man and a woman.”
Media’s interpretation: “So that means he supports gay marriage?”
How do you know he was talking about marriage?
maybe he was just talking about civil unions.
Maybe he believes civil unions are just as “real and admirable” as marriages?
In reality; they are not. Marriage > Civil Union.
However, Obama may not realize that.

Different thinking: Where is the problem here? Is leaving my marriage the best option,?
Question by Madingo: Different thinking: Where is the problem here? Is leaving my marriage the best option,?
We have been married for close to 2 years. We have a 15 months old daughter who is my lovely cutie. Combined annual income: $ 70,000. Before marriage, I had dated 3 women and her 11 men. We are from different cultures: I am African and she’s American. I grew up in a stable christian home; She grew up in a dysfunctional family (dad had 2 extramarital affairs and has kids from them and mum too). My flaws; shower once every 2 days, kinda of messy but I clean up after myself, easily irritated but I have never physically or emotionally abused her, I have a high sex drive
My thinking: Marriage business is between hubby and wife (I keep family out; I rarely call my family but we love each other dearly). 2. Her mum is always in our business. When we have arguments, she vowed to always to stand by her kids. (Eldest son: Alcoholic, keeps moving in and out of house, wife “beater”, all the money he makes he sends it to her “fiancee”; )
Her thinking: If we have arguments she can tell her mom about them. 2. She pays $ 650/month (due to messed up credit) for her car note. (Camry 2007). I drive a 1999 Malibu which we got at $ 1000. 3. She wants to pay off $ 300 every week to a baby sitter yet her aunt charges 100/week (they don’t get along): My mother was willing to baby sit again for free (she baby sat her when she was 2 months until she left when she was 8 months) my mum is a retired professional pediatric nurse. 4. She needs to have a treat every week at a restaurant and have a tour to her hairdresser; $ 120/week 5. Before marriage she had debts totaling to about $ 25,000 (which I was willing to help take care of when we get financially stable. 6. She believes that her dad is a “devil’ since he doesn’t agree with her way of thinking. (I get along with my dad in-law; he minds his own business unless you seek for advice from him. he admits that he screwed up with the extramarital affairs but he can never change what happened. He has always asked me not to ever put our daughter thru. that; having another woman in my life)
When we I don’t agree with her she says I am mean minded and sometimes when I lose it, she calls ex-bf (who had proposed to her and later changed his mind) for “advice”. Ex-bf always put pressure on her to look nice and he contributed to her big debt.
P.S: Recently we separated and I was wondering whether divorce is an option (Kinda of not what my family virtues are)

Answer by Racer
If you still love her, why don’t you try marriage and financial counseling first? If that’s not an option for you, or you don’t want to, then I’d say your mind is pretty much made up to leave this marriage. Your wife has a lot of outside influences.. that don’t appear to be healthy… like, talking to an ex b/f when you and her have marriage problems?? I would not be tolerating that……..

Product Description
The thesis of this book is that God intends that sexual intercourse should be at least implicitly a renewal of the marriage covenant. From this it follows that the marriage covenant provides the criterion to evaluate the morality of every sexual act. Thus the title, Sex and the Marriage Covenant, is an appropriate description of the book’s contents. Marriage comes into being by a couple unreservedly entering God’s covenant of marriage; contraceptive intercourse co… More >>
