If I make $480 gross per week & am filing married with 0 dependents, how much Federal tax should be taken out?

I have health insurance totaling $65 per week. I think that's taken out BEFORE my gross income is taxed. I'm just trying to figure out if my employer is taking out enough taxes on me.If I make $480 gross per week %26amp; am filing married with 0 dependents, how much Federal tax should be taken out?
You can look on the IRS website at this link. http://www.irs.gov/formspubs/article/0,,id=164272,00.html.





But the calculation would come out to be $4,409.12 for the 2007 tax year for the Federal Tax. That is based on your gross pay for 52 weeks. The health insurance would be a deduction on your tax return.If I make $480 gross per week %26amp; am filing married with 0 dependents, how much Federal tax should be taken out?

Can I amend tax return from Married Jointly to Married Single?

I am changing a tax return from Married Jointly to Married Single? I am going to complete the standard deduction. Do I need supply my soon to be separated spouse with paperwork? What happens if he does not file a amended return?Can I amend tax return from Married Jointly to Married Single?
There is no such filing status as married single. You can amend a joint return to married filing SEPARATELY up until the due date of the return, 4/15. After that, you can't amend from joint to separate.Can I amend tax return from Married Jointly to Married Single?
Once you file jointly you cannot amend to any other status after the due date. IF you had both filed married separate and then amended to married joint that is ok. Below is a link to the actual form. You need to wait for your original return to be processed before sending in the amended or it will confuse the IRS. If it is not done by the due date then you cannot amend from mfj to mfs.





There is no rule that says your spouse has to change status and file an amended. IF it isnt advantageous it isnt worth it. If he doesnt then you cannot.





If you file married separate you both have to take the standard deduction or you both have to itemize. If you take the standard deduction first and he has a mortgage to itemize then he looses the chance and looses a lot of money. If he itemizes first then you have to and you lose.





Usually you are better off to file jointly.
Since you already filed a joint return, BOTH of you must amend to Married Filing Separately. If EITHER of you itemizes your deductions on your separate returns, BOTH of you must itemize even if this means that one of you must use a standard deduction of $0.





To avoid any problems you need to coordinate your amended separate returns or you may both have a mess on your hands.





You only have until April 15th to sort this out. After the filing deadline, you cannot amend a joint return to separate returns.
If you were married on December 31, you really only have two choices - married filing jointly and married filing separately. There is a little known exception if your spouse lived apart from you for all of the last six months of the year, but that rarely applies to anyone.





In just about all cases, you will pay significantly more in tax to file married separately than married filing jointly. You won't get the full standard deduction for example.





But, if you are decided to do it, you should notify your spouse to do the same. just be aware that the tax bill for both of you will go up substantially.





If this is really a case of ';who gets the refund'; then that is something that should be worked out in your divorce settlement. Don't pay the IRS more than you need to because the divorce isn't settled yet.





Good luck.

I was married only a few months when I left. What am I entitled to when I get the divorce?

He was verbally abusive and had a drinking problem.I was married only a few months when I left. What am I entitled to when I get the divorce?
I don't think that you will get anything.I was married only a few months when I left. What am I entitled to when I get the divorce?
You are entitled to only half of property accumulated during the time of marriage only. So if you were together for a few years and got property, that doesn't count. If you had children and you get custody of them, you should get child support. I wonder though why you married him in the first place. You had to have known of his addictions and behavior before hand so why did you decide to marry? Not that I have any right to know the answer to that though, but it is something you should be considering yourself. The judge will ask the same question. You should also think about what you think you are entitled to, then most likely, divide that in half.
What is it you are looking for? Better question would be why did you not see any of this before getting married?





You are entitled to half of what you two acquired after getting married, or if you were contributing to something he owns prior to getting married.





Sounds to me like you are looking to stick it to him, so I would suggest you better get a lawyer. No guarantee that you will get any more, but the courts are set up to favor clients with lawyers. That is so they can keep their tidy little business profitable.
Probably nothing. Usually your entitled to half the property accumulated during the marriage and support (if you have children). Since your marriage lasted only a few months, most judges would simply have you take your own possessions and split the any remaining bills accumulated or items purchased or received during the marriage.
This is gonna depend on how hard you fight...Ya'll were married~it doesn't matter how long. Also, if you live in a ';Community Property'; state. Check your state laws and see what they say about it. You could very well be entitled to half of everything. With him being abusive and an alcoholic-it's his fault for the divorce- YOU be the first to file for divorce. This makes a difference.
I would think nothing,





Alimony and such is designed to keep you in the lifestyle you have grown accustomed to.





Three months is hardly enough time to get accustomed to a certain lifestyle. nor do i even think that you would want to stay accustomed to that lifestyle in the first place.





Cut your losses and move on. that would be the best thing for you.
It depends.... you will not likely be awarded alimony because of the extreme short amount of time you were married. However may still be entitled to half the marital assets depending on your state laws. Best to check with your county courthouse to see what the laws specify.
The only thing you will be entitled to is half of what you two have accumilated during the marriage. EX half house car bills etc. Also child support if you have kids for him. And also if he cheated on you and can prove it you can get interim spousal support.
What for!!!!!!! not at all





http://www.reviewlocator.com/reviews/sur鈥?/a>
nothing.





if you have children, child support.





just be happy you're alive and safe.





you wont get a dime though.
Half of anything you obtained together during those few months if anything. You should have known about his vices before you married him.
I assume you knew he was like that before marriage what makes you think your entitled to anything? Marriage doesn't make someone a better partner!
I was married 4 months the first time and left with what I came with. I didn't want anything....Mine sold drugs and abusive but I wasnt entitled to anything.
Depends on the state in which you reside. If you can leave with what you came into the marriage with- then run don't walk.
Sounds a bit greedy. You were only married a couple of months and you left, why should you be entitled to anything?
nothing.
Your walking papers
Sylvia,





Answer: What ever the lawyer says you get !





Better luck next time ....

Why do married Conservative men have affairs with men instead of women?

Is it because they can't knock up men?Why do married Conservative men have affairs with men instead of women?
I'm a Conservative Married man and have never had an affair.


If I was going to, it certainly would not be with another man.


What's your excuse?Why do married Conservative men have affairs with men instead of women?
IMO ';conservative'; individuals have more hangups than Liberally minded people. They are generally more devoutly religious, less open minded about things of a sexual nature, and generally more single-minded and opinionated with their personal and political beliefs. On a political front,Conservative can be equated with Republican values. Open homosexuality is more common among Liberals and/or Democrats than among the ';good ol' boys'; who would be more inclined to repress and hide these sexual urges. Most Conservatives would rather hide in a false marriage to a female than openly display tendencies that would be offensive to other conservatives. Likely the need to ';let down their guard'; and get in touch with a more sensitive feminine side outside of a ';macho'; male role commonly displayed by conservative thinkers leads them to the company of other like-minded men, who may ';understand them better';.


Affairs by their nature are covert, secret, and somewhat taboo, like the actual repressed feelings of homosexuality in conservatives, so when the opportunity arises to carry on such a ';back-room'; secret affair, the likelyhood of it being a hidden homosexual affair would be greater amongst conservatives, married or not. Liberals are far less likely to take the position that homosexuality is ';wrong';, so would be more open about these tendencies and relationships, so if you are going to hide it and do it in secret, the latently homosexual conservative male is more likely carry on with other men in their peer group than just another woman. Some married with children may also feel that their family values would be greater impacted by an affair with a woman, and that if found out, forgiveness would come easier if one were to claim that they ';strayed from the path'; due to some illness, trauma, or satanic influence, since after all homosexuality (in their opinion) is an illness and if treated would never happen again.
I think you're a bit confused here.


Homosexually started in Liberal Hollywood.


Other Liberals decided it must be cool.


Liberal men are becomming drawn into homosexuality.


No committment as he would have with women as homo's


have many male partners sexually.


Sexual diseases are epidemic, but the Press won't put that in print.


Gays trying desperately to become proud of their sin (Gay Pride).


Government trying to legalize gay marriages to appease homesexuals
U.S.Army veteran ? I don`t think so ! The Army doesn`t allow PERVERTS and CHILD MOLESTERS within it`s ranks , Milton ! But nice try anyways !





Now .......... to the question at hand ..........





According to recent surveys conducted by major polling firms , it`s the Liberal/Democrat segment of the American male population that hangs around public toilets looking for perverted sex with other Liberal/Democrat homosexuals !





It was found that an overwhelming 61.093 % of Liberal/Democrat males were involved with , or wanted , homosexual sex on a regular basis ! Of this number , 52.661 % were married ........... to women !





This accounts for the unexpected rise in hideous STD`s amongst women in marriages , or relationships where either the husband/boyfriend , or both , are Liberals , and/or Democrats !





Medical professionals expect these numbers to increase dramatically in the next decade ................... at a projected rate of 1.02 % per year .
So, there have been how many? Two? Three? So, based on the actions of 3 men who you claim to be conservatives (are they really?), that means all conservative men do this?





Shall we then make sweeping generalizations about blacks based on the examples of Kwame Kilpatrick, Charles Rangell, William Jefferson, and Monica Conyers?





How about making sweeping generalizations of Democrat unfaithfulness based on Clinton, Hart, Kennedy, Kilpatrick, etc?





You see, that's the problem of the stereotyping that shallow minds engage in - they basically make intellectually dishonest and stupid claims about whole groups based on a few examples that do not necessarily reflect on the whole group.
Uh? WTF? as is the norm no link when spouting rant so I guess you are a liar as well as stupid. One or two married conservative closet homosexuals does not make all married conservative men having affairs with men.





I guess you never saw Sanfords hottie from Brazil, or are you jealous and in denial?





You should be asking why Barney Franks illegal gay prostitution ring was never brought to court.
Isn't the majority of homo's on your ticket(democrats) there scooter.


Funny how a person who is a democrat would then throw an affair between two men out as being ';bad'; when they are the party of Homosexuals all over the country.


By your own standards of what is acceptable behavior you should not be throwing out turdburglers as an insult.


What its OK to buttf*ck each other when they vote for your side but not when they are on the other side?????


Politicians ALL of them are flawed corrupt and inept but you are just stupid and that is impossible to fix.
they spend entirely too much time tweaking on methamphetamine. (see ';ted haggard';) or texting 16 year old congressional pages (see ';mark foley';.)





but wait! there's more! have you seen this:





http://www.democraticunderground.com/dis鈥?/a>





(note... i know that website is partisan, but the facts in that particular post are indisputable.)











of course, it's OK when they do it...





.
That's a great question full of facts to support your argument.


What's funny is this is what liberals do. And then say ';better than 8 more years of Bush!'; Then when we support something with facts, we're told we got them from ';Faux News.'; You guys are so typically ignorant it would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad.
why do liberal men have boyfriends that run gay prostitution rings from their own basement, and tell the world that everything is fine with the banking industry just before it crashes? oh wait...sorry, that's just your elected officials, not necessarily all liberal men...my apologies
I have no idea.. but i did learn something in my sex ed class.. The USA is ranked highest for having the type A strain for HIV and Aids.. meaning that the sickness is spread majorly amongst homosexual couples.. yet it doesn't explain why men love men.. I guess.. to much liberty even as a conservative
I dont think conservatives have a patent on affairs with the same sex.


Men are men, doesnt matter if conservative or liberal.
..Unlike Democratic New Jersey Governors and San Francisco Mayors who give their gay paramours cushy jobs on the taxpayer dime.
And you have the audicty to call yourself a US Army Veteran ...


Don't generalize Conservative men
There's nothing gay about 2 men enjoying each others' bodies.
I know of two outa millions of conservatives. Do ya think Barney is a conservative! Get a life!
The same reason Liberal men have affairs with animals.
Why do Liberals ask pathetic questions like this one. That has nothing to do with politics?
One is the lonest number.
so some conservative men are secretly gay... your point is?
Liberals mocking gays now. What's next.
that would be the correct answer... no ba$tard child to embarass them.
Change of pace..They really are open minded, huh? LOL

Can a married man and woman kiss during ramadan?

this is asked in the consideration of consuming the partner's saliva.


I'm sorry I couldn't phrase it any other way.Can a married man and woman kiss during ramadan?
During Ramadan? Yes


During fasting? NoCan a married man and woman kiss during ramadan?
My dear friend salam for you.AIn one opinion,a married man and woman during fasting in ramadan can kiss each other, if it is done without lust or nafs.In another opinion it is haram with or without lust if it is done during fasting before break it.Allah does not give us difficulty.


Kissing is a sign of love and respect from a husband to his wife can be done at any time.But sexual relation is haram (not allowed) if it is done dring fasting.Only at night a husband can make a sexual relation with his wife.
According to authentic ahadith husband and wife can kiss eaxh other during Ramadan and fasting. Only intercourse breaks the fast.





Malik's Muwatta 18.5.14





Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his father that A'isha, umm al-muminin, may Allah be pleased with her, said, ';The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to kiss certain of his wives when fasting,'; and then she laughed.





Hope it answers the question.
Yes if it's a peck on the cheek. Exchanging bodily fluids is haraam during Ramadan from Fajr to Maghrib or if you want English terms from Sunrise to sunset. Anything after sunset to sunrise is hala between a married couple.
If some one kisses like Al Gore kissed his wife on the stage of Democratic Convention will definitely break the fast.





Geneal rule is fast will break if one enjoys kissing his wife during the fast. Just a short peck of kiss doesn't break the fast.
Not during fasting otherwise yes after iftar.
During the time of fast, no. After yes.
Yes One can Kiss his Wife During ramadan But not When Hes Fasting !!
NO, only is it was on the chick ,forehead etc BUT not the lips












yes...but not while they are fasting

How to persuade my mum to let me get married to my fianc茅?

He's 17 and in his basic training for the British Army and I'm 16 and at home with our 4 week old daughter, she doesn't think we should get married even though we have been together for 4 years... What should I say?How to persuade my mum to let me get married to my fianc茅?
Tell her it's what's best for your baby and relationship. Also tell her you guys feel very strongly about each other and can get married when your 18 whether she likes it or not. That's what i'd do.





*PS: your baby has a very pretty name :)How to persuade my mum to let me get married to my fianc茅?
Well. I am sure mum means well. But seriously think about the long run of it. Just because you have a kid together doesnt mean you should get married. However 4 years is long time. Maybe you should sit mum down and talk to her heart to heart. Is the any law where you live about becoming and emancipated minor? Which means you'd be able to become legally undependent from mother. Youd have to ahve a job and your own place to rve your mature enough, just something to look into. But really mum loves you and just wants to look out for you. Just let her know you are doing it because you love danny and iona!!!
I would listen to her. Marriage is 50% more likely to end in divorce when the participants are under the age of 24. Four years is a long time, but you'll change more from 16 to 20 than you have from 12 to 16. You have a lot of growing up still to do. Having a child doesn't make you an adult. It makes you a parent. Your mom wants what is best for you. Stay with your boyfriend and wait it out. If, when you're older, you still want to marry him, go for it. But I wouldn't rush into it, especially not at 16.
personally.. there's a part of me that agrees with your mum... BUT if i think about it... you already have a child together... and the worst possible scenario is that you will marry and the marriage fail.. Like a rather high % of the rest of the community anyway....





so.. I THINK I would give you a chance... you are already always going to be linked by your child... so what's to lose??
If you're on here asking total strangers for advice on how to talk your Mommy into letting you get married, then you clearly aren't ready. Wait a few years, grow up some, and then you can do it without her permission.
if you two love eachother, theres nothing she can do.


either you'll stay as boyfriend and girlfriend until youre 18 and can legally get married, or youll get married now. tell her that.

When filing married seperate instead of joint, can we still write off the mortgage interest on one?

we always file married joint, and am trying to file seperate this time because of all of my business expenses. but which one can write off the mortgage?When filing married seperate instead of joint, can we still write off the mortgage interest on one?
On a separate tax return, if one spouse itemizes deduction then other spouse must also itemize deductions.


Read http://taxipay.blogspot.com/2008/04/list鈥?/a>When filing married seperate instead of joint, can we still write off the mortgage interest on one?
Either one but not both of you can deduct the interest on the mortgage. But if one of you itemizes, the other must also - the other person can't claim a standard deduction when filing as married filing separately.





Figure your taxes as joint, and as married filing separately. If the business expenses you refer to are unreimbursed employee business expenses, it's possible that you have one of the rare situations where filing separately is better, unless you would be eligible on a joint return for credits that aren't available if you file as MFS. If the business expenses are for a business one of you runs, then you'll more likely do better with a joint return
Mortgage interest is split between the owners based upon their ownership percentage and how much they actually paid. A married couple filing separately would generally split the deduction between themselves equally. See the instructions for Schedule A for the additional documentation requirements for splitting mortgage interest since only one of your names and SSNs will appear on the Form 1098 from the mortgage company.





The IRS generally won't fuss if one of you claims the entire deduction but keep in mind that if one of you itemizes the other must itemize as well, even if that means taking a Standard Deduction of $0.





Normally the business expenses of one spouse won't materially affect the taxes in deciding to file jointly or separately. In most cases you'll still pay the least total tax on a joint return. The advantage of filing separately in this case is that it isolates each of you from the other's tax liability. That can be a consideration with business income and expenses especially if you're not sure of your spouse's ability to keep accurate business records.
The one who itemizes would take the mortgage interest deduction. If you itemize and your spouse does not, then your spouse cannot take the standard deduction. Generally you end up paying more taxes if you file separately.





You also lose other tax credits if you file separately. See page 22 of IRS publication 17.





http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p17.pdf
You have to ensure that you were legally entitled to claim the interest. See IRS pub 504.





Even if this is one individual, be aware that *both* spouses must itemize. If all the expenses end up on one tax return, the other spouse puts down $0.
yes

What do married couples without children do?

I know some married couples who say that their marriage would be boring without kids. So the few that don't want kids, don't they get bored with each other?What do married couples without children do?
Our marriage was not boring before kids, in fact having our son made it significantly more so. (Not that we regret it, we love our son dearly, but we won't be doing the empty nest whining when he goes to college) Kids are great, but they can be boring as h3ll unless you really enjoy things like sponge bob.


We still get a night or two a week to ourselves, we go out with friends, or have dates. We take him places too since he is older now.


I think you only get bored with your spouse when both of you stop trying, not whether or not you have kids.What do married couples without children do?
It's not the kids we miss, it's the absence of the community that grows out around the kids. You know, the friends you make who are other parents, the parents next door, etc. We are definitely bored with each other. We don't have money to travel since we work, and sometimes we wonder if we should have kids just to have a life. Don't worry; we won't make that mistake. But I just want the question-asker to get an honest answer.





Not like the others weren't honest, but they were all happy. I should also say that all our family members are on another coast, and we live in L.A. where even our friends don't have time to hang out with us.
kids are not exactly born for entertainment ya know. They are a lot of work and responsibility. My husband and I can go to the Caribbean on a whim. We go out to dinner without the need for a babysitter and we do not have to spend all of our money on diapers and baby food. Don't get me wrong, we want kids but because we want children and not out of boredom.
Why would they? They got married because they loved each other. People don't get married to have kids...they get married because they want to share their lives. Some decide to have children and others don't. Children don't complete a couple's life..they may add to it, but childless couples are just as complete as those with children.
Go out dancing, go out to dinner, go to the movies, go on vacation (trip abroad), have sex anytime and every time they want to without worrying about hiring a babysitter or having a family member take care of the kids.
Probably not. They can come and go as they please without worrying about a babysitter. Finances are better. Traveling is easy. Freedom is huge without kids. I could go on and on.
Married couples without kids have better sex lives. Enjoy.
Whatever we want. If we decide to up and leave we can go. We also have dog that is fun to play with.
We do whatever we want.





Not boring at all, it's great!





Kids shouldn't be used to ';spice up'; a boring relationship.

Can a married couple make a legal contract where one spouse can purchase property in their name only?

If one spouse wants to buy an apartment with his or her personal life savings, can that spouse make a binding legal contract where that property will remain in his or her possession if the couple divorces?Can a married couple make a legal contract where one spouse can purchase property in their name only?
In most cases, I believe the property would need to be purchased BEFORE the wedding. And remember that even with contracts, pre-nups, and the like, if there are children, then its all up for grabs in a divorce.





Simply put, no one can legally sign away their children's rights to a parent's assets.





Good luck with this one...Can a married couple make a legal contract where one spouse can purchase property in their name only?
If It's a community property state, you're gonna have problems. You should probably check the laws in your state. Especially if you are going to buy land or something like that that has permanence and value. In Texas, it isn't legal. Everything purchased by one spouse automatically shares ownership with the other. She might not need your jock strap, but it's still partly hers.
No, that's why you are legally married, you share in the fortune and loss equally. You seem to be another one that wants it both ways at the same time, are you sure you're not jewish.
In most states, yes.





Community property states, it could be tricky.

U got married last year and still havent changed my last name. How do I start doing it?

I got married and still have my maiden name. I want to change it. How do I start? ThanksU got married last year and still havent changed my last name. How do I start doing it?
lol You and me both! I got married July last year and STILL haven't gotten around to my name change. Well, I don't know if it's different in every state but here in PA I was told to take our marriage license back to the courthouse with $10 to get another certificate. This certificate will allow for our name change. I have to take that certificate with me to the SS office and DMV. Now if I can find the time to get to the darn courthouse again! hahaU got married last year and still havent changed my last name. How do I start doing it?
You go to the social security office with your id, your marriage certificate, your birth certificate, they'll do the rest. and then you need a new id, new birth certificate.. oy. it was a pain.
In the UK all you have to do is start calling yourself by your new name - no legal formalities. However you will need to inform post office, bank, passport agency etc
Bring your marriage certificate to a Social Security office, they will do it all for you

Is it wrong to have casual friendship with a married guy?

Especially if it's long distance. I don't know his wife since I met him in a delivery from my office but we have stated we are friends and like to keep in touch. He's military but he's like very friendly and has never said anything shady to me, just friends.


But we like to update in stuff going on. Not a big email guy, just send little short notes saying Hi and stuff.


Can a friendship be going on without harm?Is it wrong to have casual friendship with a married guy?
its a dangerous situationIs it wrong to have casual friendship with a married guy?
only if his wife is aware and you are friends with her as well. i generally do not trust the motives of married men who wander into an office one day and just start passing out their email address... doesn't it make you wonder what the real story is? sounds to me like he needs to have some backup in his little black book in case things don't work out with his wife.
Don't increase your relation. It is not good at all. If he love his wife and your feeling increases to loves then you will be badly hurt and you will be not able to pay attention in your married life or in future marriage life. If he start loving you then he is cheating his wife and he can cheat you in future. Or it can be that your feeling and relation can break his married life. Think!!!! from all side its your loss. BEAWARE OF SUCH RELATION.
Ask his wife if she's down with it - chances are she wouldn't be unless they have an open marriage.





If he's spending time visiting with you - whether it's long distance or up close and personal, it doesn't matter. The time he's giving to you, he isn't giving to his marriage.



I am a millitary wife. My husband delivers parts. Not saying this question is one and the same. If it was me I would like to know. My husband has been odd for the past few months now. I would like to check his work email and / or stop in, but I can't. My guy is quite charming, but trust me there is a back story.





Right now this seems harmless, but I wouldn't let it get more chummy. I'm in utah by-the-way LOL email me if you are to richins1987@comcast.net
Well I don't know. I mean my husband has acquaintances from work but for him to actually talk with them outside of work as ';friends';, that just doesn't fly with me. From experience in the past with my husband a ';friendship'; with the opposite sex will most likely lead to something further
I say yes...as long as both parties agree mutually that it will be friends and you respect his relationship with his wife and vice versa.
ok answer this...if you were the wife how would you feel if I was the friend he had? and I just said everything your asking about. would you be ok with us? Didnt think so.. so yeah its gotta stop.
Most men ARE NOT CAPABLE of the ';just-friends'; thing.
Yeah I think his wife should know about it. Other than that - I have no reason to say no:)

Gay marriage in Ca. Can my spouse be denied medical benefits if my company offer to heterosexual married cpls?

I am marrying my domestic partner of 8 yrs in California. I wanted to ask if my company can deny my spouse medical benefits in California if it is offered to my heterosexual married co-workers?Gay marriage in Ca. Can my spouse be denied medical benefits if my company offer to heterosexual married cpls?
no in California a gay married couple is the same as a man and a women being married my B/F wants to go there so we can get married it would be discrimination if they denied you coverageGay marriage in Ca. Can my spouse be denied medical benefits if my company offer to heterosexual married cpls?
California law prohibits discrimination based on both marital status and sexual orientation. If an employer offers benefits to opposite sex spouses while denying the same benefits to same sex spouses, they are violating the law.
Since you are married, I belive you can still get benefits for your spouse, but then again, it all depends on what company
Yes
i dont think so

What exactly do you need to qualify to get married in a catholic church in California?

I think you have to talk to a priest about joining that church or that faith. Then you need to attend for awhile and they have some kind of counseling or classes where you learn what marriage is really all about or something like that. I wish that I had gone through that with my husband but we didn't. He was not Catholic and I thought I knew enough about life to go ahead and get married anyways. Well, guess who is divorced? yup. me.So go talk to a priest and you'll get your answers.Best of luck to you %26amp; yours...What exactly do you need to qualify to get married in a catholic church in California?
depends on the church some are more hard core traditional then others but i believe the proper way is that at lest one of you is catholic and has preformed all your sacraments you go to a marriage counseling class or classes you go to confession and neither one of you has been married in the church before also in order for the cost to be lower if not free a member of that church or they will charge a fee and i believe that you must also agree to bring your children up in the catholic faith (but that one i am not as sure on ) if you look on line you should find your answer or call your local church and see what they say!What exactly do you need to qualify to get married in a catholic church in California?
LOVE, commitment, and goodwill. The caholic church is not a hard institution to get along with. It promotes marriage and want those mariages to succeed. It is easier to prevent bad marriages than getting divorced in a couple of years...annulment in the church will take some time to resolve. Soooo, go to the marriage prep courses and good luck
At least one of you must be a catholic. Both of you must not have been married before in the Catholic Church. If either of you were married in the Catholic Church before, then you need an anullment from the Vatican.
A spouse to be and it would help if you where catholic.
to be a catholic
You will probably need to meet with the priest several times before for enagaged couple counseling. If you have been married previously you will need to get it anulled (very lengthy and spendy).
Not to be gay.
Permission from the priest and a license.
I know for one thing, if you've ever been married before, they won't marry you.
It is absolutely not true that a Catholic church will not marry you if you have been married before. Just like one said before, the marriages must be anulled by the vatican. My mother remarried in the Catholic church. Look at churches first, make a list of your favorites then talk to the appropriate priests about a date and if there is anything else you need to do. Remember, priests have taken a vow of poverty so whatever it is that they charge for the ceremony, it is pennies compared to what other places charge. If you have your legal papers in order there should be no issue with the church.

I was married in Nevada in 1990 and have lived in California ever since. Which laws is our marriage under?

Am I entitled to half of all our assets and debts as is California law, or would it be something different under the Nevada marriage laws? If it is under Nevada law, what is that rule of entitlement?I was married in Nevada in 1990 and have lived in California ever since. Which laws is our marriage under?
California for divorce.~~I was married in Nevada in 1990 and have lived in California ever since. Which laws is our marriage under?
If you live in California, you are under California's laws.





California is a community property state, and does recognize Nevada (and every other state's) marriage.
marriage is under GOD'S LAW --- DIVORCE is PROHIBITED!





you need to talk to your PASTOR!
I think you are asking about divorce laws, not marriage laws.
Depends on where you file for divorce. If you file for divorce in Ca then our laws apply, if you move back to Nevada and file there Nevada laws will apply.
You are residents of CA so CA law applies.

Will getting married before the end of the year positively or negatively affect our tax return?

My fiance and I live together and have a 1 year old together. I don't work but he does. He makes about 17000 a year before taxes and were wondering if we got married if it would positively affect our tax return? Thanks!!!Will getting married before the end of the year positively or negatively affect our tax return?
Yes, It would be a benefit to get married. Since you do not work, your standard deduction and personal exemption goes to waste if you remain single. If you get married however your husband will benefit because your standard deduction will be twice as much and he will also receive a benefit from your personal exemption, on top of that you will get a larger earned income credit.





If you actually worked, and made money it would most likely be more beneficial for you to stay single, because one of you could file as head of household and receive the earned income credit, and the other could file as single. That way your combined standard deduction would be greater.Will getting married before the end of the year positively or negatively affect our tax return?
Yes, if you file joint return, then


deductions for single without dependent are $8,950


deductions for married joint return are 2 x $8,950 (that is no tax)


Your EIC will increase.


Read http://taxipay.blogspot.com/2008/02/fili鈥?/a>
Married couples get a better rate.





Married





Gross Wages $17,000


Standard Ded ($10,900)


Exemption ($ 10,500)


Taxable 0





EIC ($ 2917)


Refund ($2917)


If you were unmarried you would get $2712. EIC





In the long run, married couples would get more benefits.
It should inprove your tax refund for two reasons. You'll be able to file a joint return, which will give you a tax advantage. And your EIC as a married couple will be $271 more than he'd get if he claimed head of household and claimed your child.
Yes, you get a marriage tax credit.

How come married women encourage ';looking but not touching'; other women?

Is it so the married man can get the woodrow?How come married women encourage ';looking but not touching'; other women?
With my husband and myself .. looking is more of a game.. We try to see (like at Nascar race.. how many big boobies we can see) most of the time , its sad that I see more than him.. but its all in fun.. I hunt out boobies for him to look at and he finds me tall hunky men to check out..


If he decided to take a cop a feel.. more power to him.. I know who he sleeps with .. and who he is coming home too..





If you don't know, then it does not hurt.. better off not to know..How come married women encourage ';looking but not touching'; other women?
All of us like to look at nice things. It isn't just men who look women do as well. I know my husband looks at other women. I am just glad he doesn't do this in front of me and disrespects me. All men look but touching well that is a totally different story. Yes he can look and maybe he gets an idea in his head however I do not want to hear about it. He can take his sexual excitement on me anytime. We all fantisize but acting it out well that is just wrong.
Well, I don't encourage him to look at other women but he can't help but set his eyes on something of beauty. I do the same thing. I notice a handsome man and my glance will stick for a few seconds longer than if I saw a man I didn't find as attractive. Doesn't even mean I want to touch. I just happened to notice a good looking guy. He just happened to notice a good looking girl.
Just a shot in the dark here, but, from your other questions it seems like either you have a skewed perception about reality (and women), or you're very bitter about the way a woman treated you. Either way, you'll feel a lot better if you seek help. That's why it's there.
It is human nature, married men do it, and married women do it.





They can look, but they can't touch.





Other than that, it is human nature.
So the man can appreciate what he has at home...








Also how could a women give her man a hard time for looking at other women - when women check out other man too !!





Women also look at other men, just not so obvious as a man does...
because they want to think that other women would be interested in what they have and they want to think that their mate would appeal to the other women so they like the idea of look but do not touch
Women don't encourage looking at other females. We all know men are naturally inclined to do so! We just remind them that they can't be touching other women! If truth be told, we would rather have our men no look at all!
I don't know of any woman who actively encourages her husband to look at other women. It's more like they tolerate it because they know he's going to do it anyway.
Men are going to look anyway. I think the woman who gives her husband ';permission'; to look not touch is doing so out of insecurity.
I think most would consider touching cheating, as for it being a “Woodrow” I guess that would depend on the guy, no.
Everyobne looks, who the hell cares. I think i am on a different planet to most people on here.
I def do not encourage my husband to look at all. he is mine and i am his and if i was looking he would be pissed.
because they were raised to be tight w
i still think that pic makes you look like one ugly azzed woman lmao

Should a married bartender take off his wedding ring?

If a married man is doing bartending at a bar, is it wrong of him to take off his wedding ring at work so ladies think hes single and he gets tipped more?





Should a wife be offended if her husband wants to hide the fact that hes married to make more tips?





Opinions anyone?Should a married bartender take off his wedding ring?
i'd be upsett about it. he shouldn't hide the fact that he's married for any reason.


besides, after the women get drunk the won't notice a ring anyway or care. i can't imagine that the tips are all that different weather he wears it or not.Should a married bartender take off his wedding ring?
It is definitely wrong. All it will do is create more work for him, as now he has to fight the girls off. So in essence he would not be able to serve as many people, and therefore not make as many in tips. The other factor is that its brings tension inside the house, as the wife will not take kindly to such an action.





He should be able to make the tips with it on. Flip the script, if a woman, takes her ring off as a salesperson to make more sales, how will it reflect upon her ability as a salesperson??





If he can't make a proper drink, or string a sentence together and his family is starving, then maybe, otherwise, hell no.
I used to bar tend and would remove my ring all the time. It's not like you can't see the spot on my finger when it's off. I took it off because I was constantly doing dishes, cleaning things, reaching into the cooler, etc. It was just easier to do those things without bumping it on everything.





As far as doing it to attract women or tips, each to their own, I guess.
If it's a really busy bar with high volume and meaningless chit chat, I don't see a problem taking it off. But if it's your local neighborhood pub where you have a lot of regulars and conversation, that would be different.





If it would upset the wife, I wouldn't like it. But married bartenders can have just as much appeal. Depends on the mixologist.
Yeah she should be because if he takes it off at work for a few tips, he's more likely to take it off on other questionable occasions. Look, unless a person's wedding ring poses a hazard to their well-being at work ie electrical work, there should never be an excuse for it to come off. But that is just my opinion.
A ring is not enough to keep a man faithful on or off. I never wear a ring except when dressing up, but there is a big ring of love around my heart that keeps me true to my mate. there must be more going on at that bar, if the bartender is flirting, working the female crowd, he is just a snake. So ring on, ring off. a true lover never needs it. The false lover will never care about it.
No he shouldn't. I think that most women in a bar don't care about a ring. I mean lets be honest you don't go to one looking for love you go to one to get drunk and/or laid. I don't think a ring has anything to do with tips, if you do a good job you get tipped.
No, if he's a good guy then he is just doing it in the interest of money. Unless you're rich I don't see a problem with selling out just a little to get a little extra cash. He should use the extra change to take his wife somewhere nice.
Doesn't all the money go to their household?


Up to the married couple.


If they both discussed this matter thoroughly and both are grown up about the reasons and backgrounds, it should be OK.


The shallow costumers are the ones who'll be pissed. :D
no he shouldnt take off his ring! if he's a GOOD bartender, they will tip him anyway, regardless of if hes single or married...eye always tip my bartenders depending on how fast they serve me, and personality..eyeve never even LOOKED at their finger...hes taking off his ring so they'll flrit with him...a guy wearing a ring only stops ME from flirting, not tipping
Should you wear safety glasses while in chemistry class?!





I think so!





I mean look what happened to poor Carol..





http://file035b.bebo.com/12/large/2007/0鈥?/a>
if it were me ... I would take it off for the sake of more tips ... she would have to understand that it is a part of my job to increase my wages anyway possible
NO! Hell no!


Of course he shouldn't!





If I was his wife I'd be p*ssed off if he'd take off his wedding ring.


I mean, it's not like he's going to get fired if he wears it, so what's the problem?
no lol, plus the s*uts these dayys like a challenge.
If his only reason is to get more tips, than his wife should be supportive. Provided that is his ONLY reason for doing it.
YES- that wife better be pissed! No - he should not take off his wedding ring at all! Being married is not going to lessen one's tips!!!!!!
Nah, don't worry about it. It's just for the tips after all.


My parents have been happily married for 26 years my dad has never worn his wedding ring.
I would do it for the tips. Also all the drinks and stuff you dont want it getting tarnished.
I was bartender before... do you have any idea how many glasses I broke when I kept my wedding ring on? At least 200.


So I doubt that's why he has is ring off.


Did you ever think about that??
He'd probably get more tips if he did.


Which in that case, why should his wife be upset if he's bringing home more money?
No he shouldn't
He should NOT take it off...how disrespectful to his wife!
How much are willing to sacrifice for ha bra? ;)





And aint that really what love's all about anyways? sacrifie... remember your vows? ask her what she thinks.
i dont think he should
yes,


I think that is very shallow.

I am married with a child. If my wife and I file tax return separately,who sould claim the child as dependent?

In addition, if we have a joint bank account, how should we split the interest?I am married with a child. If my wife and I file tax return separately,who sould claim the child as dependent?
If you and your spouse live together, either of you can claim the exemption for the child. You should figure your taxes both ways and file whichever way results in the least total tax. Either of you can claim the interest or you can split it any way you choose.





If you and your spouse do not live together, whoever the child spent the most time with during the year gets the exemption.I am married with a child. If my wife and I file tax return separately,who sould claim the child as dependent?
As always you'll pay less tax most of the time by filing a joint return. TFTP

Report Abuse

I believe that you can only file separately the first year that you are married, otherwise you need to file jointly. Unless your tax advisor tells you otherwise.





If you can file separately then you need to find out which way you will recieve more money back!
Definately you. If your name is the one on the birth certificate as the father, it is all you, unless you die. then it's your wife
who made the most money?
The person who makes the most money should claim the child - it lessens your overall tax burden.





Joint bank account - 50-50%.
i would go to an accountant and find out which way would be better-maybe jointly. You have to do it today remember
I would figure the taxes twice. Once with you claiming the child and then once with her claiming the child. This will show you which one gets the most money.
Whoever supplies more than 50% of the child needs get to claim the child.

Should a married woman have the right to control what her husband does?

with his own body when he's with someone else ~ as long as she's not affected?Should a married woman have the right to control what her husband does?
Just like abortion, she can have her opinions but since it's his body he can do whatever he wants.Should a married woman have the right to control what her husband does?
';With his own body when he's with someone else...';





When you ask the question like that, it makes it sound like you're doing something questionable with your body. What do you mean she's not affected? Is she not affected physically/mentally/emotionally? Because all of those things matter.





A woman has no right to control her husband's actions. She should trust her husband enough to not have to control what he does. In return, a husband should love his wife enough to never do anything that would cause her to question that trust.
At the end of the day it's not a yes or no question because we're talking about emotions, not logic.





My opinion is that if two people aren't willing to go out of their way to make sure they understand eachother's feelings, then they probably shouldn't be married.





What is ';control'; in this case? And what is she trying to control exactly?





If you mean masturbating while in a chat room or looking at pornography, then I would say that a woman doesn't have the right to control what a man does with himself when it truly does not affect her.





But, I believe the ';right thing to do'; so to speak is to understand that there would probably be a reason for her to feel that way. Maybe she doesn't want you to masturbate because she wants to have more effect on you sexually. Or maybe she is very uncomfortable with the idea of you looking at the bodies of other women, even if it is something trivial. (yes, I am calling porn trivial under the assumption that there is rarely any intention of meeting or personally interacting with a porn star)





Ultimately marriage is about equal, commited, partnership. If a wife is willing to respect her husband's wishes, he should respect hers.
You mean like smoking, chewing tobacco and substance abuse including booze, promiscuity and risking infections and bringing STDs home, not seeking proper medical care when needed or engaging in health care practices like monthly testicular exams when younger and prostate exams when older, gluttony and inactivity, engaging in risk taking behaviors such as speeding, fighting, physical contact sports or going off to die or be maimed in a war? Gosh, hasn't that always been the way men have had it with their bodies without regard whatsoever for the opinions of the women who love them?
*Yawn*.





I'm assuming you're making an allusion to abortion? The reason women have the right to say whether they want an abortion or not is because the baby is in THEIR body, not yours. Until men can give birth or squeeze babies out of their asses, they cannot tell a woman what to do in terms of an abortion. If you don't like it, feel free to protest by locking yourself in your room and crying in the fetal position.
If you are married then it is presumed that neither of you are doing anything with your bodies with other people. When you do it is called adultery. Americans try to make it sound less serious by calling it 'cheating', but adultery is still adultery whatever you call it.
No one has the right to control anyone. However, it would be ethically wrong (in my opinion) for a man to go and have an affair with a hooker when he has promised himself to his wife. It WILL hurt her. Especially if the hooker happens to have a STI. And it will most likely end in divorce.
Sure as long as he is alone when he does it. It cannot be something that endangers another. Marriage is a partnership and everything should be open to discussion. The couples married 25 plus years live by this rule.
Legally? No. But she has every right to divorce him. The same goes if the situation is reversed.
Who says she DOESN'T? C'mon, mate, that's what NAGGING is all about.
No.
no woman will tell me what to do with my body.

What is the average age men and women get married in your culture?

And what culture or background is that? In my culture, for girls, starting from 18 to about 25, and for men about 24 to 30. That is the south Asian Culture.What is the average age men and women get married in your culture?
It's different everywhere here in North America. Some marry when they are very young, around 14 with parental consent. This usually happens in the south, or in some cases all over the U.S. I also know of others that didn't marry until they were 40 or older. The oldest marriage I ever personally witnessed was of a 74 yr. old man and an 81 year old woman. This was their first marriage for both of them. But in the U.S., as generations get older, it seems that we are marrying later and later. Back in the 1950's for example, they would probably get married when they were 17 or 18, then in the 1960's and 70's hardly anyone married. Now, in the 2000's, I see more people getting married in their late 20's, early 30's for both women and men. As societies change and grow, so do the cultural norms for such things as that. I personally will probably not marry until I am at least 30 and ready to have children. My upbringing was with a single mother, so marriage doesn't play such an important role in my life. However, I have noticed that children who grow up with only one parent tend to see marriage as unimportant. This is only observation and opinion based on countless encounters with such things. Since I was raised that way, I tend to notice it more in others. My boyfriend was raised by a single father, and he feels the same way I do. Hope this helps you get a better idea. Cheers!What is the average age men and women get married in your culture?
I'm ';white bread'; USA and we seem to be getting married at older ages now. Most men %26amp; women are in their mid to late 20s or even later.
twenty five for woman and twenty eight for man, are you ready
In India a woman can marry at 18, a man at 21. You're right, men women usually marry younger (18-25) and men after 25. Men are very pressured to have a decent job and stability before they marry, women are less required to have a job, but many are now waiting to marry until after they gain a degree from a university, so the marrige age has been pushed back lately. In the Middle East women marry from 15 to 25, but usually no later than that. It's seen that younger you marry, the better. The same requirements for men (job and stability), are found there as well.
I think nowadays in Western culture people are waiting till they are older, many people want to have a career with a good wage before they settle down, just the same as kids, many people are waiting till they are much older so they can afford to provide a good home.

Do people know that Jesse Jackson admitted that he fathered a child with another women while being married?

He has been married for many many years and a few years ago he said he was the father of a teenage lady that he had by another women. I don't respect him because he is a pastor and what kind of example is he showing to young people by cheating on his wife?Do people know that Jesse Jackson admitted that he fathered a child with another women while being married?
He IS a hypocrit, and I only see 1 person getting mad, not everyone. Right he's not perfect but that doesn't make it any less of a sin. He's a preacher he should be setting an example of course this would come out eventually. I think he shouldve stepped up sooner instead of waiting untill she was a teen.Do people know that Jesse Jackson admitted that he fathered a child with another women while being married?
Does it ultimately matter? Isn’t cheating and pedophilia the way of life for most clergy?





I’m a Scottish-American intersexed woman who shares many similarities with one of the most misunderstood and discriminated against minority groups, often called worse names than any race, that group is medically labeled as transsexuals.





I find it ironic that many of your religious leaders who are supposed to exemplify several religiously shared tenets. Which are mere guidelines to supposedly allow all of human kind to live in balance with themselves and nature. But yet those same religious leaders fall into the various trappings of the flesh.





Whose rules are they really playing by, their gods, your gods or perhaps their demons?





I feel that Jesse Jackson, is nothing more than a simple man who succumbed to his own needs while violating the potential trust of his wife. And that it is a matter that should be left between him and his wife and god.
He's one of many...look at Edwards...and Thurman....it seems like a lot of politicians do this and it's OK to them. They don't seem to mind putting their families through the ringer and expect them to stand by them. BUT...truthfully if you think about it....it also happens in everyday life too...men have kids out of wedlock everyday and women have to either adjust to it and accept it or leave. It's life.


Peace, Love %26amp; Happiness
well reverend....i am sure you have heard the ';let he who is without sin, cast the first stone.'; that in no way diminishes what he has accomplished regarding civil rights in his life time. i am certainly not condoning it, but you are always very quick to judge.
i never followed his advice anyway. And im black! only white people listen to him! So they can have something to justify them being racist!

Yes. That's what co-signing is; if she defaults on the loan, you are next in line as responsible party.
Dear Stupid,





Live and learn ex-husband sucker. Just hope the ex eventually repays the loan; otherwise your on the hook. Translation: If you have to pay- and don't, possibily kiss your credit rating bye bye bye.
If she defaults on a loan, the first person they'll go after is you. This is why you should never co-sign for a loan unless you are willing to take it on or do it only for a person who you love deeply.
If she is married to someone else, why on earth didn't HE sign for her?





If she has a car or anything else of value, maybe you can put a lien on it to force her to pay you back. If you can talk to a lawyer to see exactly what you can do.





The good news is that you got rid of her. Now he is this guy's problem.





Look at the loan as a small price to pay for your freedom


If you had to pay her child support, ask the courts to deduct the amount she defaulted on from what you owe.





Consider the loan as cheap tuition in the school of hard knocks.


Try to pay it before it screws up your credit.





After she uses this new husband she will come begging you back


RUN
You are on the hook. Community property plays no roll.
You signed it....it's your bill....co-signing is guaranteeing the lender that if the principle (your ex) defaults...you are going to pay the bill
Well her and her husband is really ';one';. If ';they'; do not pay, then they will come after you. That is what a co-signer is...they are responsible for the debt if the primary signer doesn't pay it. It will effect both of your credit.

Engaged or married men: At what age were you wanting to get engaged?

I know it depends on if you are with the women that you feel is right for you, and for a lot of people finances are important. I'm just interested in an overall average. What age were you when you proposed or agreed to get engaged? Thanks for your time.Engaged or married men: At what age were you wanting to get engaged?
I was 22 but I didnt want to bite the dust at an early age.Engaged or married men: At what age were you wanting to get engaged?
I was 18 when I wanted to get married, and proposes, and did. I was 21 when I realized what a F****N great mistake I've done (excuse my american), and I was 23 when I got divorced.





To be honest I think for men the age should be arround 25-28 when they get married. just a thought.
25 sadly that time has passed.
I was 14 when I got engaged to my brother.
20 YEARS OLD,, I DID IT RIGHT BEFORE I WENT TO IRAQ AND WILL NEVER REGRET IT
Always thought I would be 26 or 27 - didn't happen till I was 31
I WAS 23
Right now!
My fiance was 28 and now he is 30. And I got engaged to him when I was 19 and now I am 21.

Check out their website but don't book through their website. You will pay more.





We stayed in their tower rooms and the views were awesome.

Not during hurricane season that's for sure!

How do you tell if someone is married/engaged or just likes wearing a ring on their finger?

what does a ring on the ring finger on the right hand mean?How do you tell if someone is married/engaged or just likes wearing a ring on their finger?
Right hand doesn't mean anything. Left hand does but they are wearing a ring on the left hand and you are still wondering if they are engaged/married then ask them.How do you tell if someone is married/engaged or just likes wearing a ring on their finger?
In the United States there was a big push a few years ago promoting right hand rings. The right hand rings are still popular and could mean anything.





I know in some parts of Europe the right hand ring finger is where a wedding ring is worn. It's the opposite of what people do in the United States.





I'm not married and I wear a band on my left and right hand ring fingers. I don't want to date anyone right now. I've seen married people that wear a wedding ring and they think it's an invitation for dating.





The best thing to do is ask someone if they're married. There is an interesting link below about wedding rings and different traditions.
That is a tough questions... engagement rings/wedding bands are worn on the left hand... that is the tradition. Before I got engaged I wore rings on my left hand because I was righty and didn't like my ring on the hand that I did everything with, as they can get caught, fall off, etc. (I am 26yrs old and have a size 5 ring, so i was very hard to find a ring that fit correctly) My rings though never resembled an engagement ring or wedding bad, they were cocktail style or thick banded... so there was no mistaking them.





The best way to tell is if it is a band/or solitaire type diamond, it is clearly an engagement or wedding type deal. Some people many guys, will wear a plain band on either hand (not married) for style purposes and that is when you really can't tell... unless you ask.
A ring on the right hand does not mean anything...The left is meant for engagement and marriage..


If they have worn the ring on their left for a while and put it on the right, there will be an indention of a ring on their left hand ring finger.


There are other signs too if they are married or engage, they will be suspicious, looking around, not eager, not committing to the relationship and etc......
lol, i once knew these group of 40 year old single ladies ';cougars'; who would go to the bars and wear a ring on there ring finger to look married. They did it to pick up younger guys! Cuz if the guys knew they were married..then there would be less of a commitment and more fun. It honestly worked for them. I dont reccomend it tho haha.... for most people it means they are married or engaged
A ring on the right hand means they like to wear a ring, or their spouse is deceased or the ring could have some other kind of meaning to them. Wedding bands and engagement rings are worn on the left hand ring finger (the finger between the pinky and the middle)
A ring on the right hand could mean anything. If it's on the ring finger, it could have some significant meaning but it is not an engagement/wedding ring.
Nothing, it's just a right hand ring.





Left hand, ring finger is the traditional place for a wedding ring.

It's hurting my self confidence like anything and making me feel more worthless. I'll go to any extent to improve things. Show me some direction.How to improve my facial looks. Height 6'2';, sportsman, good career but not getting married coz of poor looks?
Wear a hat and dark glasses.How to improve my facial looks. Height 6'2';, sportsman, good career but not getting married coz of poor looks?
Now I want to see your picture. What could be so horrible about your face? Plz stop feeling bad about yourself. The girls that did not approve you, let them be gone. You lost nothing. You do not need someone who loves you only for your looks or for your money. You need someone who loves you for who you are on the inside, someone who will share and support your goals in life. You also don't judge the girl only based on her looks. You both should choose each other based on personalities and goals in life. These other things are not important. That is the problem with all the dating sites, all you get is a picture and some words. You do not know the person. With you it is important that she know you and that you know her. Don't lose hope. Be patient.





As a woman myself, I would rather be married to the ugliest man in the world, as long as he is the most loyal, gentle and compassionate. I would not want a handsome man that beats me, has affairs and treats me like a slave. I would rather have an ugly man who treats me like a queen. But that is just my opinion. Focus on your other good qualities, your hard work, your intelligence, your good personality and charm. The right woman will come to you.
You are probably very handsome. You just need some help getting there! Go to a salon %26amp; spa and tell them you would like a complete make-over. They would be more than happy to do it for you. They love making you look better! Get a hair cut and get some color. Possibly maybe do some with your eyebrows. Yes, men do get them waxed. Also, a huge thing is in how you dress yourself. Go see a stylist, and they will make you look fantastic. Another thing, is that women love when a man is confident! Possibly go see a counsellor and it will probably help you majorily. But also.. give yourself a makeover, you'll feel great!
Before someone can love u, u have to learn to love yourself! U must have really low self esteem to say that about yourself! Maybe your not noticing the girls who are looking at u, thinking you dont like them!! Have you tried posting ur pic on a dating site and see the response? I'm sure there's women out thea who find u attractive!!





Question: Is there a particular feature you don't like, for e.g your nose or chin? Even though u should find your inner love for yourself maybe your self esteem would lift by gettin it 'to your liking', I know someone who's life revolved around her nose, she got it fixed and it was like a huge burden off her shoulders.
The biggest change you can make is your hair, so do the opposite of what you have. If you have long hair, then cut it short and spike it with gel, if you have short spiky hair, then let it grow out a little and don't do anything to it, just let it be natural.
if you want to improve your looks try different hair styles untill you find the right one and try some facial hair but keep it all well groomed......if i shave my mustache girls dont really like it a mustache for me makes a big difference and i always keep a fresh cut
dont be dis hearted. you are proagly very nice guy. u know what , go to a saloon or a makeover centre . ask them to give you a complete makeover. may be you 'll look better with a new hair cut .try it out.
Not to sound rude at all, dude and my heart does go out to you. Have you ever considered a small amount of plastic surgery? Try an image consultant for some good advice
You sound like a nice guy..post a photo, and MILF posse can give you a virtual makeover. Don't give up..there's hope and any girl worth her salt is not going to love you based upon looks alone.
Grow a beard.
Working on your inner self is going to be the change that you're looking for. Have you seen how many unattractive people are out there and MARRIED? You have to work on accepting yourself for who you are inside and out. Confidence is very attractive. I've met guys before that weren't good looking, but there is something inside that shines through that makes them attractive. It's like by them believing in themselves it makes me believe, too. Stop telling yourself that you are not attractive and NEVER let a girl hear you say that. Read some self help books on self esteem and confidence and I bet you'll start to see a change on how women respond to you. Good Luck!

What in your opinion is a perfect married couple, or family?

what qualities would the husband AND wife have that would just be perfect to you?





and how they treat each other?What in your opinion is a perfect married couple, or family?
Mutual respect, and support. Love, sharing and encouragement to each family member to strive and achieve anything they believe they can do. Not limiting a person based on gender. Teaching our children that people should be valued for something other than how they look or what they own.


My family and I share household chores. Boys and girls are both responsible for housework and occasional meal prep. We all feel that we are contributing to the greater good of the group as a whole. What in your opinion is a perfect married couple, or family?
Ok....just so you know, this is my opinion. I do not think this is how EVERY family should be. In my opinion, this is how I would like my family to be.





Ok, now that that's out of the way. A perfect family to me is a gaggle of children. A wife who stays at home with them and a father who works. The wife would be overly kind, sympathetic to the needs of her family, but also one who knows how to stick up for herself when she feels she has been wronged. The husband would also be overly kind and sympathetic to the needs of his family. He should be funny and intelligent....the kind of husband that comes home, kisses his wife on the cheek and then wrestles on the floor with the kids for an hour. Their relationship is 50/50....everything right down the middle. They should know how to communicate their feelings with each other and they never, ever go to bed angry. They make love 5 times a week (!!) and they always say ';I love you'; when he goes off to work in the morning. They both have their own interesting hobbies and they make an effort to go out on a date at least once a week. They were both raised to have the same kind of morals and parenting styles. They're both financially stable and know how to plan for the future. They grow old together, retire to Florida and die on the same day :)





Yup....sounds perfect! Old fashioned, yes, but still perfect in my opinion.
None, because there is no such thing as the ';perfect 10';. No matter how much you want someone to be perfect in your eyes; you yourself are not perfect, so why would you want someone to be something that you're not even capabliel of being? You can find someone who’s “fine as frog hair” (a 100 on a scale of 1 to 10) in looks and still be one of the ugliest people on the inside. You can find someone who’s the most caring and sincere men or women that you’ve ever meet, and still not be able to bring yourself to be please with their appearance. There will always be something about a man or woman that will disqualify them from being that perfect 10 regardless of what positive traits they may have. That’s why you have to willing to accept people for who they are (flaws in all).


I personally believe that there are three basic things that both men and women should want in their relationships/marriages:





A. Love: Unconditionally, meaning no matter what he or she looks like 10, 15, 20, 30 years from now; When you look into his/her eyes you still love the same as the day you first met them. Cherishing the union between the two of you, and honoring the vows you took before god.





B. Trust: having the same amount of trust in him/her that you expect them to have in you because you both know that neither of you will go astray. You're able to trust one another to mean what you say and say what you mean. Being truthful when dealing with him/her by always being open and honest about everything the two of you share (money, sexual relationship, future plans, and parenting) because you trust him/her to make the right decision and choices in life that will benefit you both.





C. Respect: Respect one another as your EQUALS! Regardless of sex! You’re in a partnership, not a dictatorship. You give your partner the same respect as you would expect him/her to give you. I strongly believe in the saying “do unto others as you would have them do unto you”.





If you are able to build your relationship/marriage upon this 'tripod'; of reasoning, all the other things fall into place. And you’ll be able to see that “5” as being that 10 because he/she will see you the same way.



My husband doesn't do exactly half of the chores, because I'm home more than he is, but he does his fair share and when he starts slacking I let him know and he starts pitching in more. If he says I'm expecting too much, I realize that sometimes he's right and I either let it go or do some of the work myself.





I don't think it matters who is doing what, so long as you feel comfortable communicating with your partner and no one feels taken advantage of.
The husband and wife would be equals in all aspects (working, chores, etc.). They would have open and honest communication and be mature about handling situations. They would love each other no matter what and be completely faithful to one another. They would treat one another with respect.
I don't define a family as being simply a husband and wife. It could be two husbands or two wives, or a husband and a wife. They treat each other with respect and dignity.
1. Honesty


2. Loyalty


3. Goals and ambition


4. Respect


5. Both should have careers


6. Financial stability
A functional and happy one.
What Rio said, unfortunately those are hard to come by these days.

Tax refund question: Is it true you can get more money back by filing married but separated?

I have some friend that insists you can get more back by filing, ';married but separated'; instead of filing together. Does anyone know about this?Tax refund question: Is it true you can get more money back by filing married but separated?
Generally you only file separate if there are tax problems with one spouse. Separate is a higher tax rate. It is usually better to file joint.Tax refund question: Is it true you can get more money back by filing married but separated?
This could indeed be the case if you are legally separated.





Both of you would get the single person's allowance avoiding the marriage penalty.





If one of you earns a great deal more than the other then an alimony payment could be made to transfer income. This would tax deductible to the giver at a higher rate and taxable at a lower rate of tax to the receiver.





Edit: you wrote 'separated', I presume this is what you meant. The other posters presume you meant to write 'separate'. Totally different animal. Take care!
Generally, most people are better off filing a Joint return. There are a few instances where filing a Separate return is better but it is pretty rare.





Remember, when getting tax advice from friends, those friends are usually wrong about 90% of the time.
No. Exactly the opposite is true.

What does it mean when a straight married man likes to wear women's lingerie and makeup?

in the comfort of his home while during foreplay with his wife?What does it mean when a straight married man likes to wear women's lingerie and makeup?
It means he has a fairly common kink, nothing more. Here's hoping his wife likes it or he might be in for some difficulty in the bedroom...What does it mean when a straight married man likes to wear women's lingerie and makeup?
He is most likely an heterosexual transvestite. Harmless by the world's standards. Shunned by God's biblical standards


Deuteronomy 22:5


The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
It just means that he likes to get in touch with his feminine side once in awhile. No harm, no foul. Just don't wear too small of underpanties because you'll stretch them out and that might make the wife a little upset!
it means he's a crossdresser.





the majority of true crossdressers are heterosexual men that are married.





it's no big deal. it's their own business.
Just means he is a crossdresser, it doesn't mean he is gay as majority of crossdressers are straight
it means he likes to wear women's lingerie during foreplay with his wife lol. It might make him a cross-dresser but in not an expert
kinky if you wife likes it! Weird if you do! My BIL was a cross dresser unbeknownst to his wife until she found out one day. They are no longer together.
You are a crossdresser.
Crossdresser :]
it means something.
Um, it means he has a pretty tame fetish. It's not that terribly rare.
It means that he's a transvestite.





*
It means we don't take you deer hunting with us.
It means he ain't straight at all and is a bisexual crossdresser!!
He probably isn't very straight.
it means he is in the closet OR someone told him thats what women like

If you found your online love was married would you contact their spouse ?

Even just to tell them to check their computer and see all the people their messing with?If you found your online love was married would you contact their spouse ?
Yep. Cheaters, all of them, should be exposed to the person they're cheating on and hurting. Rat him/her out, honey!If you found your online love was married would you contact their spouse ?
no i wouldnt. I would stop having any kind of relationship with this ';online love'; and move forward in my life. I would not communicate with any of his female friends or his spouse. This ';love'; may have kids and a happy home. Why ruin this for them? I would feel so guilty if i did this to a family. His significant other will find out eventually or probably already knows. But leave it at that.





I had a friend who did this and the ';cheater'; convinced his wife that it was someone who was trying to get him in trouble and she believed him.





I know you are angry and want revenge but telling his family or spouse will only backfire and many others will be hurt. If you could just get revenge on him alone by not getting his family involved this would be okay. But what if he's psycho and then goes after you? The internet is scary and you cant trust how people will be. Remember the movie ';fatal attraction';?.
A FANTASTIC question for the SINGLES %26amp; DATING section since you've never even met your online fling, much less married to him. And how do you fall in love with somebody you've never even met anyway? MY GOD.......is this Romper Room in here today or something?
Nope. If I was dumb enough to have an 'online love' I wouldn't be dumb enough to tell anybody - particularly their spouse.
No. Why hurt that person intentionally. They will find out soon enough. Now, if the person contacted you and ask questions, I would be honest.
I'd wanna make sure of the facts then probably would just dump the jerk.
No I wouldn't bother. Just drop that online romeo immediately.
No just stop seeing the online lover.
I've never played with fire in order to get burnt. You probably never saw it coming, did you?

Can you still become a muslim women if your not a virgin and have never married?

I'm a 19 year old young lady who's studying islam and believe it's the religion for me. I know being a virgin before marriages is important. I'm not a virgin nor have i ever been married can i still convert and how would things work.Can you still become a muslim women if your not a virgin and have never married?
You completely have the right to convert, not being virgin is not a problem.





What matters regarding conversion to another religion is what you will do after, not what you did before.





If you want to marry a Muslim man afterward, again, look for one that is moderate, open-minded and preferably not virgin either. People tend to think that all Muslim men require that their wife be virgin before marriage, but that is a misconception. Truth is, a man that is not virgin himself has no right to ask this of his partner, because both men and women are required to stay virgin until marriage.





Keep in mind that virginity is only a very small aspect of piety. Islam, as the two other religions of the book is able to bring you so many benefits that are not affected by virginity in any way.





Good luck with everything :)Can you still become a muslim women if your not a virgin and have never married?
yes you can be muslim becuse islam Forgive anything Before islam





and do not be Afraid Of any opinion about this





you will become a pure women after islam





and i wish to marru a women like you
Your sexual history doesn't matter in converting to Islam.


Oh, and in Islam if one converts to the Islamic faith, all their previous sins are forgiven.

Report Abuse

To be honest with you, it is not right living with someone without being married, and the reason for this is because when God created man and woman, he did it for them to be yoked together!





I do not know what your stand is regarding God, but do know that if you are a christian, than surly you would want do what your creator has asks of you?





Being married gives a sense of security. It is very easy to walk away when things are going bad! But when married; trying is involved! I talk from experience;





Also, where I live there are many couples living together and think it alright to flirt with another, because the bond isn't there.





We have some friends who just live together, and I am constantly being ';chatted'; up by him! He keeps saying that it does not matter because he and his girl are not married!!





Marriage gives boundaries; I know this also because I lived with my husband before we got married. This was before we became christians. We have had some terrible arguments, but have persauved because of being married. We have just celebrated 17 years of marriage and that is something to be proud of when there have been major struggles!
Yes I agree with one of the other contributors. I am also christian and have no problem with couples living together without being 'married' A government can give anyone a piece of paper to say they are married, so what, it does not necessarily mean it is more acceptable. Love and respect are what is important not the piece of paper.
The marriage certificate is just that a legal piece of paper which is good if there are kids involved and even if you have jointly set up home together. Usually if no kids are involved you can just as easily set up a contract as to how stuff will be split in the case of a separation.





I lived with my wife for 18 months before we married - it was a precondition. We are now married 23 years.
Absolutely fine with me - I have been living with my guy for three years. However, I have had a few friends who have been totally screwed over by their partners and have basically been made homeless (one friend is going through it at the moment). If they had been married then they would be entitled to at least a Little.





This friend gave up her home and everything to move in with this guy. Stuff has happened and she is being evicted from his home (he's a rich guy with homes all round europe). He is prosecuting her daughter for trespassing on his property too - how awful is that?





If they had been married then it would have been a different story!
I take it as seriously as they do, which is evident by the lack of marriage in my opinion. If it's just a paper...get the piece of paper... otherwise don't tell me how committed you are and I'll continue to see it as temporary. Study after study by even the most liberal places show it damages their ability to be together in a marriage later so... again, I don't particularly care what adults do to adults so long as they don't involve children, but no one makes the mistake of thinking I would take their relationship seriously.
It's none of anyone's business. Your life is your own, regardless of what mistakes I might imagine, or through scientific evidence know, you're making, and I wouldn't presume to even imply I care in any conceivable way what strangers or adults do that harms no one else. And that's the only reasonable position to hold. Anyone who says otherwise is a bully who believes in might makes right, whether it's socialism or religion pulling the strings.
not a good idea if you want to live together as married then get married first. saying that one of my sons now lives with his girlfriend I hope they get married but it is his choice. I have not put any pressure on them only asked if they plan to the answer was not yet he is 13 and just finished uni in another city where he is living now and working.
Well. this thing is destroying family structure. We call family when there is a husband wife and child(ren).


if ppl do what you are doing. there wont be anything like family in this world.





dont destroy what God has created.





God created Human and ruled Human to live in families. Not with out marriage. if GF and BF can live in this way then i dont think there is any need of MARRIAGE.





i think its a sin.



I am unopposed to it. My girlfriend and I are living together and christian. Marriage as we know it is not the marriage concept of early biblical times. Marriage as we know it is a means of ease in tracking for tax collection.
with all the BS about fornication.


this very topic made man change the KJV bible just after it it's first release.


as man had been teaching what was not true.


it is called italic type, words that were added later.


in 1 Corinthians 7:2





Nevertheless, ';to avoid'; fornication, let every man have his own wife,


and let every woman have her own husband.





this very verse has new words, as the words husband and wife are new words. and the languages of past never had any words at all as such, rather words were written with an accent for male and female.


and the words ';to avoid'; were written in latter due to what had been taught and was accepted.





so it in truth it is more like if you do the crime do the time.


as the so called christian wedding is pagan.


and has nothing to do with jesus at all.


just because he was at a wedding and turned water to wine.


is not a teaching on how we should or why we should do it.


the truth behind the honeymoon is to confirm a child was a legitimate as the virgin woman was kept away until she was pregnant, and the very act was watched as to keep proof of sire.


so the whole wedding it self was a celebration in the union of two people and families in an arranged manner.


so the word marriage comes from a greek word that means impure defiled mark marred - MAR.


so when the blind lead the blind, they all fall one after another.





latin DE of or from FACTO fact
I have been living with my g/f for over 8 years now and we've had 2 great kids together. We've talked about getting married but we feel it might change things. We look at it like this; If it's not broke, don't fix it
It's okay as long as one of you is a Christian and you're both not the same sex.


lol


JK


It's a sin according to the Bible.
It doesn't bother me in the slightest. It's not something I'd do myself, though, but that's only because after living with my last girlfriend I decided I was better off celibate.
I think it makes for trouble because when you break up, you will have no legal recourse. Watch Judge Judy one time and you will find out why it is not in your best interest.
I think it's great. I believe it makes the step between simply 'dating' and getting married much smaller, and therefore it should be easier to make your marriage work ;)
Maybe it's a nice trial run for marriage but stats say if you have lived with your partner before marriage you are twice as likely to split up than if you wait until married.
So why are you asking. Just curious if it is no big deal?





You are not living as a married couple you are shacking up with him he wins you loose.
It's fine, specially if your not religious, but make sure you have your own bank account, not a joint one, ha ha:)
They used to call it common law marriage.
You never know someone until you live with them.
whatever makes them happy .
well i live with my bf too... and we don`t believe in marriage, we ate both atheists so i would say i don`t have any problem ....
I dont understand why ppl dont get married. Its simple.
I don't care as long as it involves a ring and commitment.
its not really like marriage, they probably still like each other
Wait, so are you dating or married?
Why not? It's a good chance to see how compatible you are.
I'm living in with my boyfriend, so I have no problems about it.
its my dream, to live with him in sin! oooooh yes!!!! sooooo much delicious sin!
Because it isn't marriage - it's still fornication. Your union needs to be publicly recognized, both by God and the state.


Also, it's too easy if you're just ';living together'; - when things get too ';tough';, he can just up and leave, because he has no obligations to stay. There's no commitment.
