If you are 17 and pregnant do you still need parental consent to get married in Michigan?
Yes, you still need parental consent. If you are 17 and pregnant it doesn't matter because marriage is not easy and your way to young to even think about marriage right now. So don't focus on him because he got you pregnant unless you really love him. Your child is the first thing in life that should be the most important to you. More important then the baby's daddy and any one else. So have that baby and take care of it because that beautiful child inside of you is more important then any one in the world including you.

Why married man calling their mistress?
well if u are going to get married you'd love that person
ANSWER:
Men never wanted to be told that the relationship is over by their mistress especially from their wives. They rather be the one who can tell women that it's over rather than. Just like what I have told to my husband that he can do everything he wants to do, he told me and I quote, "he didn't like to be rejected." So the big picture is men do not want to be told they are not wanted, but they rather be the teller not the listener because it does ruin their ego and dignity.
Why would your husband act jealous when he is leaving you to be with another woman?
That would be due to the ex still wanting a back up in my mind. Or that the person thinks they have made a mistake.
This could be them being selfish in a way.
Best thing to do at times is just totally cut the cord. Unless you want the ex back, then, it's really up to you on what to do.
Good question. think i understand your question. First off, you should ask him.
But my guess is that he wants the best of both worlds or it's a possessive thing, and both are not fair to you! Deep down if he still loved you and wanted to make it work, then he would need to let go of the other person. also, are you still physically involved?
Another consideration, do you have children? if so, then maybe he wants to make sure you'll remain a good mom to the kids.
Best thing to do is tell him it's none of his damn business though!!
There's a psychlogical term for his attitude and behavior. It's called 'Projection.'
"According to the theories of Sigmund Freud, psychological projection is a psychological defense mechanism whereby one "projects" one's own thoughts, motivations, desires, feelings, and so on onto someone else."
For a more in depth explanation in simple terms:
Basic Psychology: Neurosis and Projection
i can bet he blamed you for all things wrong in your relationship too..he is not looking at his actions...only what you did to make him do what he did..easy escape from reality of his selfishness ...also he could be trying to keep you on your toes so he feels just fine having a good time with another woman ..keeps you off track from the real truth ...him playing he is jealous..projection at its finest...there is your answer..he is so wrapped into himself he even tells you by his projection what he is doing!!! look at it! lol women are so much brighter and more intuned - keep your power and dont let anyone disrespect you -
Some people who are doing wrong can't just leave without blowing the place up and turning the finger towards you. It's just his way of "blowing" things up to get you to react. He knows he has done wrong. Jealousy is insecurity in it's UGLIEST form. It's easier to walk away pointing finger then walk away with his tail between someone elses legs.
Is it normal to look at people of the opposite sex when you are in a relationship?
it is very normal to look at the opposite sex when u are in a relationship, it's just the human way
Your husband to be your best friend?
You don't say if you want him to be or he is or how to help that along. In my opinion your husband should be your best friend and you his. This isn't to say that you don't still need a girl friend to talk certain things over with.
Do Arkansas have common law marriage?
Arkansas (along with most states) does not recognize common law marriage. The only exception to that would be if you previously lived in another state that did recognize common law marriage (again, most states don't) and you were considered common law married in that state, and you then later moved to Arkansas.
Why are so many people having children outside of marriage?
Why would it not be? We know that being a great parent has nothing to do with whether you are married or not. If you break up the child will go through the same ordeal as if you were married and divorce. Not all children are planned, a minority is, and getting married because you are pregnant is a really bad reason to do so. Having a child together says nothing about how well you will get along and if you can handle marriage or even want to. There are also laws today to protect the parents rights if they are not married. Marriage is also very much a religious thing for many and not all agree with it. There is no reason why they and their children would nto be accepted in the society they help build.
Can the judge divorce us without my signature?
If the question is can a judge order a divorce if I don't want one and if I don't agree, the answer is yes. If one party wants a divorce and the other doesn't, the one that does not cannot "block" the process. The "holdout" will be served and will lodge a protest with the court, and then, after all the processes have been completed, the divorce will be granted - over the objections of the party holding out.
Who's the best husband in world?
That is a highly guarded secret. That informations could start a feeding frenzy.
How can Muslims marry for the second time?
According to the laws of the old testament ant that is basically what the laws of the Muslims are based on, a man (not a woman) may have as many wives as he can support. It is as simple as that. Its a mans world over there. even according to the Christians who base their laws on the Judaic old testament can reasonably argue the point. As is the case with many Mormon's. The laws restricting the number of wives one has were invented later in history.
Your wife is always upset and does not trust you?
* You have either given her reason to feel this way or she feels guilty about something she has done (for example: paying for items on her Charge Card and keeping it from you; to a myriad of things.) You are a wise man to notice the change in your wife. If she is in her 40's plus, she could well be going into perimenopause or even be in menopause (ceasing of menstrual periods) and hormones can cause the woman to become depressed; sad; crying for no reason or being extremely touchy and moody. It is best to take the time out to sit down with your wife (calmly) and tell her you have seen a change in her and don't understand why she thinks you don't trust her. Communication in a relationship is even more important than a sexual relationship.
Do muslims have rings for marriage?

What is God's purpose for marriage?
1. Reflect God's Image
Christian marriages are to reflect God's image:
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground. So, God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." Genesis 1:26-27
Notice the emphasis on "image" and "likeness." God creates "them" as a unit to reflect Him. It takes both a man and woman, in oneness, to truly reflect His image. When we criticize our spouse, or foster division and competition, we are actually reflecting the disunity of Satan and dishonoring God. On the other hand, when we recognize our purpose is to reflect the image of God, we are convicted by Holy Spirit when we don't meet that standard and protected from hardening our hearts toward one another.
2. Reproduce Children in God's Likeness
God's second purpose for marriage is to reproduce:
God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in
number; fill the earth and subdue it." Genesis 1:28a
God wants married couples to reproduce children - in His "likeness." Couples who are competitive, angry and divided, are not fully able to nurture children in God's image. Why? In order to teach children the principles of agape love, godly discipline, and good morals, it must first be modeled by parents. Words are not enough! As parents puts aside their innate selfishness and trust God to meet their needs, petty disagreements fade in comparison to their love for their children. The Christian couple who does not have children can fulfill this purpose by making others disciples of Jesus Christ.
3. Reign in Spiritual Warfare
The third purpose for marriage is to reign:
God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in
number; fill the earth and subdue it." Genesis 1:28a
Additional Answer:
God ordained marriage for a man and a woman (Genesis 2:24) as a sharing in God's plan of Salvation for all mankind. We would share in the physical expansion of the human family as God intends to expand these into His spiritual sons and daughters in the God Family.
Through this human family experience, both men and women learn their respective roles in this world:
Ephesians 5:22-27New King James Version (NKJV) Marriage-Christ and the Church22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. 24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.
In the future, those who are called (John 6:44;65) into the Father's Church Jesus established will be the 'firstfruits' and bride of Christ for all eternity:
Revelation 19:7New King James Version (NKJV)7 Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready."
Those called later in their lives (during the Millennium or Judgement) will become the children of God for eternity. Salvation and Family for humankind.
What are some simple and fun ideas for a one year anniversary?
Winter - Just hanging out together alone for the day and doing some fun crafts while sipping on some hot cocoa and listening to some music
Spring - Bike ride together, take a walk, go to the movies, spend the day together at an amusement park
Summer - Spend the day together at the beach or a water park to stay cool and have fun! Hang out at your house while your parents aren't home and just get some alone time with each other
Fall - Take a walk together, bike ride, spend the day doing something fun like dancing or karaoke at your house with just you and him/her.
Now, if none of these fit what you're looking for, I would suggest going out to dinner and then to a movie because if fits with any season (: Good Luck!

What do you call a person that wants to be just like you?
* They either look up to you as their mentor and may have had no direction in their young lives as to what they should be, so they think so highly of you that would like to have the same qualities in personality; physical looks; clothing, etc. That's an honor bestowed upon you, but you must direct this person to be independent and their individual self. The other possibility is they want to 'immulate' you because they have no skills to know how they should act; dress or make friends.

What is better cohabitation or marriage?
God Made us Couples from the very beginning, thus its much better to have a spouse, rather than living alone, that said, I will try to answer the question without in my personal and very own prospective:
Living together is fun, hence no responsibilities or demands from both parties that can torture the relationship, but after quite some time, life is going to get a little complicated and one day or another you will be forced to take your SHARE, at least to feel normal human being, and then eventually it will turn into marriage.
BUT, God, differentiated us from animals, with this secret relation (Marriage), and he has a plan for it, that's why I guess we should be bonded together in front of him in holy matronly will very much STABILIZE life and will wash your fears away.
Giving a great feel of security, and peace of mind.
Imagine you grow old with someone, and suddenly after emotions are less vigorous, than the first months, he/she decided to LEAVE this Partnership for whatever reason.
Only then it will be very easy for him/her to do it without any obligation
and on the fly.
END RESULT: you will fell very much deceived, you will feel greatly that this is unfair, but you will not be able to do a thing except some talking.
Otherwise in Marriage, things are different as I mentioned earlier, you will enjoy peace of mind, future (Long-Term) Mutual planning, HOLY Matronly, and will be blessed from God, and he will lead the way.
Would you like to live forever?
Although some medical advances promise to increase the human life span,such efforts will not lead to everlasting life.Only God can give us everlasting life ,because only he is “the source of life “.(Psalm 36:9)He promises to “swallow up death forever “and grant everlasting life to all faithful humans.-Isaiah 25:8; 1 John 2:25.
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.
