What should a woman consider before marrying an older man with bipolar disorder who has been married twice?

My advice to ANYONE marrying someone who has been married twice - look hard at what caused the marriages to fail before. In almost all cases it was a two way street, and unless there has been a lot of change and/or counseling in the life of the potential spouse, there isn't any reason to think the outcome will be different this time. Please think this out. I don't think it's a good idea. The fact he has been married twice before means he is not willing to take a good hard look at himself and get help for his problem. It is so true that more women seek psychiatric help than men do. Most men feel they must, at all costs, be a man and figure their problems out themselves (you know ... the old stiff upper lip thing.) Marriage is tough enough, so I'd wait a bit before you consider marriage. If you truly love him, and he's not getting help for his problem just tell him like it is ... get help, then we will think about marriage. Unfortunately, many people seem to believe that they can "make it better". All this person needs is the right loving, caring individual to help them and all of the problems will go away. If the guy is bipolar there is good reason to be concerned.

My advice: Run.Marriage is a wonderful union when it's with the right person. I would advise you to be mindful of the redflags you raised just with your question alone. The first thing being that you already labeled him. Bipolar man. This is an illness that can bring with it times of sweet sweet highs, and deep dark lows. Being married to someone who is bipolar can be difficult simply because you can't fix the hurts this illness can cause. You can't be the one to make someone want treatment if they aren't willing to accept they are ill. Sometimes it's hurtful to be alongside someone who is ill and you are just going to have to ride out the highs and lows. There are medication changes, side effects, the symptoms can be unbearable for the one who is bipolar. So you can imagine how it can affect the one who is loving and living the illness without actually having been diagnosed with it. Being in love, married to, or live with someone who is bipolar is the closest you can come to actually having it, without having it. But to label him already, you might need to educate yourself about what you are willing to walk down the isle with. So that when things come up you have some idea how to deal with what is bipolar, and what is just everyday life. Sometimes the line is sooooo very thin, it's hard to tell. I would also look at the flags that are raised about why he has been married 2 times.

And when he talks about his ex wives what does he say? Does he accept any responsibility when it comes to saying why those marriages failed? If he doesn't I don't know if I would be so quick to walk down the isle with him.

Why didnt John Adams serve a second term as President?

The obvious answer is that he lost the election. He had tried to carry on Washington's political ideas, but he was no Washington and had no strong following outside of Massachusetts. He was somewhat paranoid about another revolution and push through the alien and sedition acts which were unpopular. Adams had strong opposition in Thomas Jefferson who had much long-standing support in Virginia. Jefferson came in second to Adams in 1796 and by 1800 the balance had shifted over to Jefferson's favor.

What political party was john q Adams apart of?

Federalist.

While he differed from the High Federalists in that he was not as extreme, and whereas the High Federalists controlling Congress gave him a lot of grief, Adams was firmly in the camp of "strong central government, states rights are just a nice luxury."

It is often said that Federalists are modern-day Liberals, but that comparison is an anachronistic association which ought not be made.

Modern liberals supported strong government ECONOMIC policy and no government SOCIAL policy (legalise the things that don't hurt people), contrasted with conservatives who tend to support strong government SOCIAL policy (illegalise gay marriage, illegalise "drugs", etc.) and moderate/no ECONOMIC policy (whereas conservatives often say we should have lower taxes and fewer interventions, they also involve themselves heavily in certain sectors of the market). Modern liberals hate war and modern conservatives support it, BROADLY SPEAKING.

Now, Federalists supported strong government ECONOMIC policy and also strong government SOCIAL policy (the High Federalists passed the Alien and Sedition Acts, for instance, which significantly curbed immigrant rights to keep them away from the voting booths). They supported war more than the Republicans (Also known as Jeffersonians, or Anti-federalists) did. Republicans advocated limited economic involvement in all sectors, completely opposed "unnecessary wars" and ANY government intervention in the economy, and (theoretically) opposed intervention in social policies. Though it should be noted that these ideals proved untenable, and by the end of Jefferson's presidency, he had imposed more regulations on commerce than Adams or Washington combined, and his efforts to enforce those laws infringed on numerous "civil rights".

I hope that helps.

How did John Adams feel about slavery?

John Adams, our first Vice President and second President, was a lifelong opponent of slavery. Even though he opposed the system of slavery, he did not oppose removing Jefferson's condemnation of slavery in the original draft of the Declaration of Independence. He felt uniting the colonies for independence was more important at that time, than causing the Continental Congress to debate the issue of slavery.

Abigail Adams was an abolitionist, but Adams took no public positions on slavery. As historian Richard Brookhiser commented, if Adams had ever made a public statement against slavery he never would have been elected president.

During Adam's Presidency, America was pushed to the brink of war with France over the XYZ Affair. Many Americans pushed for a full-out war with France, but Adams felt that a war with France would be suicide for the young American nation. He refused to go to war, and as a result he was ostracized by the Federalists who saw him as a traitor to the Federalist cause and a weak president.
