Marriage

The custom of a groom being called to the Torah in synagogue on the Sabbath before his wedding is called an aufruf.

You Say "HAI" .it means "Yes" in Japanese.

I know that west Indians are a product of African, native Indians, europeans and Indians from India having sexual relations. I have friends and people married into my family whose parents or grandparents were a woman who was visually of African descent and a man who was visually of Indian descent. However, this is not the same as a Hindu and an African American realtionship becasue these people shared the west Indian culture in common. In other words I do not know of a woman who identifies with the African American culture and a man who identifies with any of the Indian cultures from India being married. The two cultures are so far apart in customs and values that it seems like they would not actually marry. Especially since one, the Hindu culture, traditionally forbids unnaranged marriage, marriage outsid eof the religion, marriage outside of caste and also marriage outside of their percieved race. That does not mean it does not happen. In fact I'm sure that in this world there has to be atleats one example, although i doubt it will be a documented fact, because of the sensitive nature of the subject. I was drawn to your question for two reasons. One, because the answer posted was short and trite. Two because I myself joined an interracial dating site and was e-mailed by a Pakistani man around my own age who is successful here in the states and grew up in Pakistan. We've been plannig to meet but I am somewhat leary for though he applies very progressive beliefs about the world and has found great success in doing so, his home culture is very explicit about forsaking dark skin and entering into a marriage that is NOT arranged. For all intents and purposes he is his own person, but one can never tell how deeply another is affected by the values of their home culture. Not without asking ofcourse. In any event, the answer to your question is most likely yes. I am investigating HOW it is true though, which is why i googled and found this topic. If i find anything I will post it back here. Happy reasearching to you.

Many men act strange when they have known someone a fairly long time, then get to live with their girlfriend and get cold feet when the word "marriage" evolves. If you consider the fact they haven't had to make much of a commitment and have their cake and eat it too then it's not hard to understand why it's so difficult for him to not want to commit. They simply grown accustomed to the habit of living together and in ways, they aren't considering your feelings and like to keep things neat and simple for themselves. Sit down with him and ask him right out what his feelings are about marriage. You are probably wanting to make plans for the wedding and he's starting to feel stressed about the marriage. A lot of people living together feel they are still free as a bird, but once you live together (only 6 months in Canada) you are considered Common-law so if you should split-up you are treated the same re divorce as if you were married. No matter how modern the times are, if the couple wants to have children it's best to get married for the sake of the children's last name and the legal rights that go with this name. I was going with my boyfriend for almost the same amount of time and he would live with me over the weekends because he lived a fair distance away. We got along so well, but, I feel if someone truly loves you and marriage was a belief of mine because of my religious views, then they shouldn't have a problem to commit to marriage if they love that person deeply and want to spend the rest of their lives with you. It's normal to get cold feet! Of course fear smucked him right between the eyes and I told him straight out, "You buy this cow or you're not getting the milk for free!" The thought of marriage was so frightening to him that we split-up for 6 months. I was broken-hearted, but I felt if he couldn't commit to loving me enough to marry me, then what else in the future wouldn't he be able to commit too. I stood fast on my decision. 6 months later he missed me so much he phoned and believe me, I didn't make it easy for him to come back into my life again. I had an engagement ring on my finger quickly and he got right into the marriage bit. I didn't want a wedding at all (been married before) but he at least wanted to be married in the Chapel of a church and I felt he had that right and I agreed. It turned out to be a beautiful ceremony with family and friends there, and then we had a big bash down at his parents home and the party was so successful we didn't want to. LOL That cold-footed boyfriend of mine has now been my husband for 34 years and he and I have never regretted that decision. Stick to your guns! Talk to him, listen well and if he has any fears then try to help him sort it out. If he just doesn't want to get married or just expects to live together with an attitude of "why ruin a beautiful thing?" then kick this guy to the curb and move on.

Not knowing your husband or his own "reasons" all I can offer is known ones from general knowledge. Sometimes men like to feel wanted and when someone else shows interest in them that they may not be feeling at home it becomes enticing for them, maybe it hasn't been after 10yrs it could have been going on the whole time or most of it - he could be a chronic cheater, maybe he feels he can't live out his fantasies with his wife or can see her doing the type of things they want to do and do it with someone else, he could be bored at home and although comfortable, things in the bedroom haven't been the way he would like. The only you can know for sure is to ask him and try and have a calm conversation concerning this. If you are trying to forgive him and move forward with your marriage it would be in your best interest to go to counselling together.

Depends what country you are in. It is illegal in the UK, for example, but legal in Egypt.

Well, in general there is no relationship. It would totally depend on the personalities involved whether certain personality characteristics would work or not. Additionally, what one person sees as "androgynous" another might see as "balanced." :) The way I look at it personally, androgynous personality characteristics could only help a marriage, rather than disparate gender-role characteristics... but that is just me. I think that the more we work at being good people together, the better things work out, rather than buting heads about what a woman or a man's role is in the relationship. If men were a little kinder and women were a little more forthright, things everywhere would get better... rather than being tied to whatever labels you see as individual gender roles. ... not saying their aren't differences or that we shouldn't recognize them. Only saying that seeing it as an exclusionary things rather than an inclusionary thing helping us all to learn from each other and be better *people* rather than "a better man" or "a better woman" doesn't seem to make sense to me. If you define "androgynous" differently than I do, however, then the answer could be completely different. For instance... cross-dressing. Is that an androgynous personality characteristic? I don't think so... but you could. More specifics would help answer the question better. :)

After your brother dies, his wife is still your sister-in-law. If she remarries, you or she may find it convenient to think of her as your former sister-in-law.

That's what I want to know to. He's skipped out on 2 already.

possible answers: 1) one year and one day, or two years and two days 2) until you have kids 3) until you stop behaving like newlyweds (playing, laughing, having loads of sex).

It's common to have arguments all through marriage, but it's how you learn to communicate together and try to understands each other's needs. If you don't neither of you will have a very successful relationship even with other mates. It takes work! Getting married at 17 is young, and she may feel she's missing out on her youth (missed something important.) You didn't mention if you had children so that could be another factor. My guess is you do have one or two children. This can cause some women to regret ever getting married (when younger) and she realized too late that she needs more in her life. Well, it's not too late and you should try to work with her on this one. Perhaps she wants to go to night classes and get some credits for school or she may want to take classes to get a career and be a working mother. Time to grow up and sit down and go over what it is she wants and what you want. A couple should communicate and try to understand the other's feelings and work on a solution to the problem that is fair to both parties. You could help by looking after the children, doing a little housework, helping her with her studies or at least encouraging her. Women are often intelligent and they deserve a break as well. Some women are willing to just stay home and raise their children (that's the biggest job a woman will ever have) and that's OK for some, but not always enough for others. Don't be afraid to take her out for the evening or a small trip somewhere. Get grandparents or good friends to look after your children so you can get away for a weekend. Let her know you are willing to try your best, but she has to tell you what she wants from you. Neither of you are happy and it's just from the lack of communication. Good luck

It's more difficult, but it can be done. With the divorce rate being so high there are eligible women and men out there. Unfortunately, it's difficult to figure out which ones are married or not. You could join a good Singles Club (check it out and their rate of success and interview them!) Don't settle for the first one. Let your friends know that you are on the lonely side and there is nothing to say you have to date someone you don't care for that your friends may want to set you up with. 45 isn't all that old. Sometimes cruises are a good place to meet the opposite sex, but again, you have to be careful there and be sure the person is on the up and up. I met my second husband (I was 28 and he was nearly 4 years younger) through a male friend of mine and we've been married for 35 years. Even at the age of 28 and being a female I found it difficult to get back into the dating game and some men feel that divorced women have uncontrollable hormones with 'need to have it' plastered on their foreheads. Of course this untrue and I was looking for a meaningful relationship. I began to think I would never have the opportunity to meet and marry again, but I didn't give up. I've known people who have gotten married at 50 plus and are as happy as can be. Don't give up!
