Why should a husband share the housework with his wife and how much should he share?
How much?
- Each partner should have equal amounts of free time.
- Both spouses should be at least capable of every important chore in case the other spouse is disabled or injured, and unable to do housework for a while. Every chore that needs to be done at least once a month should be familiar to both spouses.
- Each spouse should feel respected for what they are accomplishing, and should work to show the other spouse their own respect for what their spouse brings to the family. You should do enough housework to show your wife that you believe that housework is important.
You should contribute enough effort to meet all of the three goals above. How much work this is will vary depending on whether or not your wife is employed and for how many hours, and what other responsibilities your family has (care for children or elderly parents, for example).
Why?
For all families: By involving yourself in the housework, you tell your wife that you believe that it is important and valuable - and, indirectly, you say that she is important and valuable. You set a good example for any children and for the community, by showing what a good husband (and father) should be. You also prepare yourself to be able to care for yourself and your family in case your wife is no longer able to care for the family for a period of time.
For families with children: Staying home with children is a full-time job. If you were paying a nanny to do the job for you, she would take care of the children, clean major messes the children made, feed the children, possibly prepare meals for the children, and possibly do laundry (depending on how much you paid her and her skill). If your wife is doing more housework than this while you are at work, she is not spending as much time on mothering children. If she does only these things during the day but still does more housework and parenting than you when you are home, she is probably getting less free time than you. This may tempt her towards jealousy, bitterness, or anger. By helping a mother with the housework, you give her the time she needs during the day to give your children the best possible care without compromising her own happiness or her ability to feel charitable towards you.
For families without children: The main reasons to help your wife are to be prepared and knowledgeable about house care in the case of her disability (or even death - it does happen), to show her respect, and possibly to prepare yourself for fatherhood and the greater responsibilities that fatherhood will bring as your wife takes on the much more time-consuming job of caring for children and has less time for housework.
AnswerThere is absolutely no reason why a man can't help out with housework. If he lives there, eats, makes a mess, needs clean clothes, he should be able to pitch in. A wife is not a mother or slave to her husband. My husband and I have an understanding about housework: if I clean downstairs, he cleans upstairs; I clean the bathroom, he takes out the garbage; if I do the laundry, he puts it away. If I'm going to be running late after work, he can start dinner. If I wash, he dries. Every wife will appreciate some help, especially if you do it without her having to ask you. AnswerYou've got to be a man and I nearly fell out of my computer chair that you had the guts to post this on the board. I'm so very proud of YOU!If you think running a house, cooking, cleaning, running the kids to the doctors, games, school, etc., and entertaining friends is easy, then you need to take the kids for a week and do those same chores and I can bet you will be kissing your wife's feet! It's easy to go to work and a lot harder to be at home raising children and doing housework.
My mother brought my brother and I up doing all the chores. We rotated these chores and now my brother is a good cook, can fix things around the house, helps his wife with the chores and the raising of the kids and why not?
As we know modern times keep us racing around like rats in a maze and it's difficult to find enough hours in a day to do everything. Now, wouldn't it be wonderful if you helped your wife out and then it would give both of you a chance to sit down, put your feet up, actually get to communicate or go out for an evening and the both of you aren't tired? Think about that one.
Here are the chores you could help with:
If your wife is raising kids and working then help her with the dinner when you get home. After dinner, she can wash the dishes and you dry, but then again, that's one easy job because many people have a dishwasher and it amazes me the fights that can occur over washing dishes when a machine does it for you. Personally, I do mine by hand in 1/4 the time of those water guzzling machines and my Hydro bill is less I might add.
If you have small children, then help her out bathing the children, putting them to bed and perhaps reading them a story. This is called "family time." If you help your wife out this way then she won't feel so worn out, your sex life will improve, you will have more fun together and all will be well.
If your wife isn't working and looking after the home as well as children she has little time to have "time out" with her girlfriends or even speak to an adult. She's still running around with the children, making doctor's appointments, etc., and it's very tiresome. If you wife is sitting home without kids, the house is a mess and she does nothing all day then you have every right to be angry and tell her to shape up.
Since men don't go out and kill for dinner like the old days, nor work the fields or the land; fight off Indians or travel miles to a local doctor when one of their own is ill, it amazes me that men feel they can just go to work, come home, sit back in an easy chair, have a can of beer, belch and crush the beer can on their forehead.
I also believe that if a man works long shifts at times then it's up to the wife to pick up the slack. If it is reversed and the woman is working long hours then the husband should do the same thing for her. Times have changed and unless men change with it and get over the fact that women's work is "girly work" then they are in for a big collision. Most women won't put up with it.
My husband works long hours, and I know how to fix electrical problems to plumbing and even some things on my car, and I do my best, but when he's not working long hours, he helps out by cooking meals on the weekend (I cook during the week) and I do the dishes and he may vacuum. No big deal and we've been doing it for years.
Thanks for having the fortitude to ask this question and hopefully it means you are truly concerned about your wife's request.
Whoever works more should clean less ... We do not need 12 paragraphs for this. It's simple I work 60 plus hrs a week and my wife works 30. We have no kids. Yet she refuses to clean. This relationship will be over soon. 50/50 that means work, kids, cleaning. Not just cleaning which everyone seems to just forget what Some "People" feel when you work like me 15 hr days 5 days a week and shift work at that.
Assuming the parents of the girl don't want to press charges for statutory rape from a 23 year old man sleeping with a 15 year old girl, the two of you can get married if you have a legal document from your parent or guardian saying that you have permission to get married,.
IS it possible to get pregnant while having your period bleeding?
Yes. No time is completely save, but this is one of the saver times to avoid conception. Combined with a condom you are unlikely to get pregnant during this time. The most likely time is near the middle of the cycle.
The last I knew she lived in Idaho. I had a friend about 10 years back that would stay with her and her husband while he did summer theater in Couer d'Alene. (i'm sure i spelled that wrong). Unless he was fibbing to me and I was talking to some other "Ellen" when I called him, that's where she lived.
Is common law marriage recognized in the state of Indiana?
In the U.S.A., marriages are recognized -- or denied recognition -- by the individual states. Some provision for "common law" marriage (also called "informal" marriage) is available in Alabama; Colorado; Georgia (if created before 1/1/97), Idaho (if created before 1/1/96); Iowa; Kansas; Montana; New Hampshire (for inheritance purposes only); Ohio (if created before 10/10/91), Oklahoma (possibly only if created before 11/1/98. Oklahoma's laws and court decisions may be in conflict about whether common law marriages formed in that state after 11/1/98 will be recognized.); Pennsylvania (if created before 1/1/05); Rhode Island; South Carolina; Texas; Utah; and the District of Columbia. Each state has its own specific requirements and procedures for establishing a common law marriage. [Living together openly, presenting yourselves as married, is not sufficient in any state.] Article IV, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution states: "Full faith and credit shall be given in each State to the public acts, records and judicial proceedings of every other state." Thus, convictions, judgments, marriages, and other legal agreements that are issued or entered into in one state must be recognized by the other states. However, the force and application of Full Faith and Credit has been questioned in the issue of Gay marriages and in the issue of common law marriages; consequently, people should not assume that such marriages will be recognized in every state.
Why man appear to love their mistress more than their wives?
It depends on the circumstances but you are right when it comes to mistresses. When a married men do have the affair, their life do change, exciting moment, different out look, new surrounding and most a new woman who is not even close to his wife. The mistress gives everything to her married man, especially time and attention. They can talk about everything especially the intimate subject that supposed for man and his wife. The facts of this relationship is his wife is always busy without taking some kind of break. With this scenario, that how and when a married man start having a different feelings for his mistress. And yes in scale of 1-10 8% of the married men did love the mistress more than their wife...
no
ANSWER:
Good question that needs direct answer. Do all women cheat and hate men, does it include your mother, sister, and grandmother? If so I think we need to talk to our family, not to insult you but when a person said "All" means part of your family also included. Now to be direct and blunt I don't think ALL women cheat and hate men. look at this way, the only way 'Some" women will do this will be the result of a husband, boyfriend not treating them nicely. No human or let me just say women will be stupid enough to ruin her life being married or having a boyfriend just to have an affair or plain hated men. A person needs to be treated wrongly, taken for granted, or even not being noticed before they will do something stupid or tragic.
We human can't judge people because they've done something wrong, what we all need to know or even find out is why, why did someone do something bad. No fun intended here in my part but we all need some wake up call to why women?....
Does Nevada recognize Marriage by Proxy?
Only four states in the United States currently preform marriage by proxy. Texas, Colorado, California, and Montana. Although i did find one isolated case of proxy marriage that occurred on a military base in Georgia. Unfortunately the article was not dated.
Though Nevada does not preform proxy marriages, it is quite possible it would be upheld if it was legal in the jurisdiction where the ceremony was preformed. Each of the four states has strict laws governing who can be married by proxy. Perhaps someone else is more knowledgeable on the subject than I as to whether or not the state of Nevada would recognize it. I only know it's not legal to preform this type of marriage there.
I am searching for answers myself. My love is in Turkey and i am in Canada. Half the world separates us and so do the laws. Good luck in your quest for the right path.

What are causes and factors for the failure of a marriage?
That's a very complicated question because men and women are complicated creatures. The main reasons are money problems, not getting along with in-laws, immaturity, not willing to work at the marriage when every day problems arise and not trying to COMMUNICATE one's feelings. Like any good thing in life it takes work. It's not easy, but if you love each other you can conquer the world together. Poor or rich we all have the same problems. Some just have more property and monies to deal with in a divorce.
I was married the first time to a womanizer and it wasn't quite 4 years before I got a separation and then moved out. It was difficult for me to admit failure in my marriage, but when only one of the spouses is trying it isn't worth hanging around. I was so glad I moved out on my own (no children or properties involved) and I got to know who I was and for the first time in my life had some space to know where I wanted to go with my life and what I was all about. I ended up meeting a wonderful man a few years later and we dated, and have been married for 33 years. Was every day of marriage perfect? No! We had our arguements, we went through the "him watching sports too much and being a little on the selfish side." I wasn't much different. It takes time to give up a few things you are use to doing on your own and then sharing your life with someone else day after day. As we grew in our marriage we made a habit of sitting down when my husband got home from work and over a cup of tea we asked how each other's day went and if one or the other had a problem about anything we worked it out together. Do we still get into arguements? You bet! However, we love each other dearly and sometimes those few arguements add a little spice to our lives.

AnswerMarriages fail for various reasons: 1. Lack of love 2. Lack of respect 3. Lack of emotional maturity 4. Not putting the spouse needs ahead of your own 5. Lack of communication (effective communication) 6. Cheating 7. Lack of trust AnswerThe root of the problem is ultimately found in societal values (through media and school indocterination), unrealistic expectations (media fairy tales, wedding magazines, television), and big government (via special interest groups.)Divorce rates are generally 50% or higher in most Western countries and will continue to expand under the current political system.
There are many reasons for the breakdown of the family unit, to sum it up very simply:
It is in the best interests of big governments to ensure conflict remains between different groups of people people. (tougher laws, more intervention between police and disputes between children / parents.) The special interest groups and the Millions of people employed by them depend on these key things:
- Victim mindsets - Entitlement comples - Maintaining wedges between 2 groups (eg, men-women, blacks-whites) - Constant indocterination of new victims
These groups are not filled with bad people, just people who don't realize their hard work has exponentially magnified the problem.
Finally, the vast available safety nets allow one to easily leave a marriage without financial burden. Statistics found throughout gov't agencies reveal 70% of marriages are ended by 1 specific gender. The ultimate reason this occurs are the laws that benefit this group are generally 1 sided, and it is considered the other gender has been replaced by the "state daddy." More and more are finding less incentives each year to marry, and statistical proof is found in abundance throughout western world government agencies.
This trend will continue until large gov't has been replaced by a significantly smaller one.
I highly recommend going to youtube and looking under marriage... there is a lady who has little videos about what women do to ruin their marriage. eye opener.
Will Gunnar Nelson ever get married?
No He Is Not. His older twin brother by 45 Minutes Matthew Nelson is. Matthew Nelson is married to Singer/Actress/Model : Yvette Stefens- Nelson
This was given truthfully by:
Megan Butcher
April 9, 2008
But Gunnar has been engaged right? I read an interview Jack Ponti did and mentioned how Gunnar had a fiance' that decided to ask the question "Have you ever cheated on me" and Gunnar plainly said "yes". He went on to say that Gunnar called him saying his girlfriend went crazy mad over his and asked him to come pick him up. Who was he engaged to?
You read wrong. Gunnar Nelson has had many seriou, crazy, lusting, sexual relationships with many woman in his life. He has never denied it. But When I asked him he admited to wanting to get married and have a baby, but he has not yet found the right one.
He has never been engaged. He said so on NelsonBrothers.Com
Megan Butcher
I remembered the Jack Ponti article from years ago. Here is what he said about Nelson!
Believe it or not, Nelson always had THE best women around, bar none, so that was always a religious experience.
Say what you will but I had me some fun with Weenie and Heiny Nelson.
For fun we used to bring them to crowded shopping malls at the height of their fame and watch the lunacy.
One time some girl ran up to Matty screaming:
?Burn in H***, your face is made of wax, I hate you. I want to see your face melt?
We used to call Matt ?Star Search?, because he would go to the Star Search taping and pick up the spokesmodels.
Excellent times indeed.
Matty began dating Erin Everly around that time (right after she and Axl split) and she would call my f****house like at 4 am.
I wanted to smack the s***out of them both, with this early morning ?Love you honey? sh**.
She went ballistic on him if I remember as he called me from his car freaking, so that love affair went south.
Matt is Mr. Romance, Gunnar is Mr. Let?s F*** Porn Stars.
Gunnar lost his mind once because we used to read fan mail and he got a gay fan letter and Matt didn?t.
We tried to find the guy and fly him in to meet Gunnar, but we couldn?t locate him.
Matt got an amazing letter once that said:
?I love you Matt. I am a mermaid and I want to cook you dinner at Michael Landon?s house.?
Now THAT?S a fan letter.
Matt and Gunnar had some serious trim, still do.
Gunnar is a funny guy.
Right after their big tour he went home and on the way to his fianc?es family?s house for Christmas dinner, she asked him if he ever cheated on her.
Without missing a beat, Gun said ?Yes?.
They got there and she went ballistic, her whole family went nuts and Gunnar retreated to a bedroom and called me for help.
Except he was in California and I was in NJ.
Let us not forget Matty and Bobbie Brown and her dumping him in Hawaii.
Sorry, no percentage. Its documented that married men very seldom leave their wife for a mistress. If they do leave their wifes they never marry the mistress but find someone else to built a new relationship with. They are double standard creatures the same rules does not apply to them. He would always wonder if you are having an affair with someone else. Even if he know in his heart he was the first married man you had an affair with he will never trust you. Look on the internet: Cheating husbands. You will thoroughly and not gently be brought back to reality. Best of luck.
Is it a good idea to be dating a married man?
No--because he's using the other person as a temporary balm for his issues, instead of actually dealing with the problems in his marriage. He chooses to not be a fully committed partner either to his wife or to the other person, because he's unwilling to be honest, accept responsibility for his actions and either actually work on his marriage or file for divorce. Being unhappy in a marriage does not mean that the married man has any intention of divorce or is looking for an exit strategy.
A man who claims to be unhappy in his marriage is using one of the classic adultery lines on someone. He may have a history of claiming he's "unhappy" to several different women. He also just should just throw out the "take ownership card" of what he has done to his wife. In most cases using another person because of having problems in a marriage, one usually takes it out on their spouse making the marriage worse than what it was in the first place. Three's a crowd as the saying goes. If a man can't tell the truth and take responsibility for what he's doing, he's nothing but a coward.
Also, if he thinks his wife doesn't know, he's only fooling himself.

Do some brides use a diaper because it is difficult to go to the bathroom?
It's no joke! Even if the Bride is not incontinent they may be anxious and in a very long and puffy flowing wedding dress it can be difficult to go to the washroom. Here are some tips:
- If the Bride feels she may just 'dribble' a wee bit then use 'Always wings .. Overnight' in your panties. Have your Maid/Matron of Honor have a few at the church or the Wedding Reception in case you may want to change the pad.
- Bridal Shops often will suggest 'diapers' for a very complicated wedding dress, but don't sell them.
- If the Bride does have incontinent problems they can buy 'Depends briefs' for adults. Put normal panties over top.
- A young Bride can also use the 'handicapped washroom' which is much larger, but will need her Maid of Honor and possible two bridesmaid's to help her hold up her dress.
For some young Brides the fear of urinating themselves causes more stress so it's beneficial to at least consider 'Always Wings ... Overnight.'
Once the Bride is out of her wedding dress and in her 'Going Away' outfit she probably won't need any pads or diapers because the most stressful part of the wedding is over. So, feel free to wear fancy undies and lingerie on that special night.
Who Is Lavan Davis Married To?

How much does a Russian bride cost?
Does it really matter if you find your sould (because you bought her) mate :) that is what your Russian Bride is looking for.
They say that you should write for quite awhile before you visit her. Via and agency this will cost about $7 and e-mail to cover yours and her translation, but I would advise initially to purchase 5 e-mail credits and then if you are getting on fine purchase 20 so the price can come down to $4 an e-mail.
Say you visit after about 6 months from the initial contact. An airline ticket from a European destination to Donetsk (Southern Ukraine) in March would have cost me 610 €
The agency there wanted $700 approximately for their budget package of hotel, airport transfer and interpreter for 7 days/6 nights. They say allow $100 a day for expenses.
Then if you do meet your sould mate you will have all the expenses of visas a if you don't your in trouble) and the costs of bringing her to your home country.
They say that approximately $2,000/$4,000 should cover it. It is also said that 80% of these marraiges are successful :)
It all sounds rather fantastic and wishful thinking to me. I've done a lot of research into it and its not the white knight rescuing a poor Russian maid from her poverty at all, as what was once claimed.
Your single Ukranian damsel today is ticking along very nicely, she scratches a living and like everywhere else has the safety net of parents at least to watch her.
So if your a western man with a bank account of loot going out there, you'd better be on the top of not just your romantic game but your wits too, because you'll have to graft and win for her heart all the way, because she's got things to lose if she go's with you, so you'll have to work, it won't fall in your lap, thats if your lucky for her to love you in the first place.
So why not stay at home, keep your money in the old bank safe and up your game in meeting your own country woman as a soul mate, you'll have to do it in Eastern Europe anyway, so why not at home?
And don't give me the old higher values pony of family oriented life been better with a Ukranian women, bull! I've read the horror story's of American, British, Canadian men been fleeced something cruel by these women, who do you trust and how?
No, i'm in no mood whatsoever to be taken for a sap off of anyone, i'll look in good old England still, i might never find her, but then there's no better option in East Europe either as far as i'm concerned.
Better to be alone in comfort than be alone and fleeced.
A fool and his money are easily parted comes to mind also.

Yes of course! Air signs (which are Aquarius, Gemini, and Libra) are very much compatible with fire signs ( which are Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius)! But be careful each sign is to have an opposite sign, like Aries' opposite is Libra, Saggitarius' opposite is Gemini, and Leo's opposite is Aquarius. Besides anyone can get married to anyone. No one can really stop you!
How do you choose who to marry?

It's embarrasing because I sit next to him in class..but he just won't ask me out!! It's harder than you may think ppls! Love, Lonely Girl
If you can't work it out between you and your husband and you've tried MANY times before (counseling), YES. Don't make the kids suffer through fights and lies - they'll resent you later in life. I was one of those kids, my parents probably should have gotten a divorce a long time ago. They're MUCH happier now divorced, and it makes me happier to see them that way. If you can make it work (which you should try FIRST before going off with another guy) do that. My parents tried for YEARS. What's to say this guy won't leave you, then who do you have? What's to keep this new guy with you seeing as you left your husband and 2 kids for him? I think you'd end up leaving him in the near future anyways....love isn't instantaneous, it has to be built upon many things - not just personality or looks.
