Virginity and Marriage

DoriLentrich @DoriLentrich (1016) • United States 22 Sep 08

I just read about a case in Paris where a man in his 30's sought and got an annulment from his wife (in her 20's) because she lied to him about being a virgin. The lower court cited that a person could seek an annullment if one...

rdcortezjr Virginity is not the issue here. I think the main issue is the lying. The woman made the man think that she was a virgin. And in any court, I think the deception made by the woman made their marriage worthy of a divorce. If she hadn't led him to believe that...

rdcortezjr Let me just say that your cousin's house is really beautiful, as I assume your home must also be. We used to live in a condo unit owned by my parents in the city, but it was just too small, so we moved. My wife and I are currently renting this...

rdcortezjr I think adoption is a great idea. Just imagine giving this lonely person all the love and care he or she has been missing all her life. And what makes this idea even greater is that your partner supports you. Yay! I say kudos to you sir for having the heart,...

jhl930 @jhl930 (3601) • United States 14 Sep 08

as we all know in most relationships its not exactly 5050 usually someone gets what they want more than the other and in my relationship its usually her because i don't feel like fighting and when she gets upset i just give her...

rdcortezjr I think overall I, the husband, run things. We (my wife and I) talk about things that need real decisions, and I decide which is best for us. That doesn't mean that I always have my way. It's just that when we discuss things, I listen to her thoughts and...

monmasyuk @monmasyuk (36) • Malaysia 15 Sep 08

rdcortezjr The right time is when you both feel it's right. It's really hard to pinpoint an exact number here because different people have different levels of maturity. You should not get married just because it's in you 10-year plan to be married at this certain age....

magojordan @magojordan (3252) • Philippines 15 Sep 08

Communication is very important in a relationship but of course we have to be careful of what we say to avoid conflicts in it. So tell me is there anything that you and your partner avoid discussing about?

rdcortezjr We talk about everything. I tell her all my thoughts, and she does the same. In case of sensitive topics, I first let her know that what I'm about to say is what I really feel, and that she doesn't really have to get upset about it and just hear me out. She...

rdcortezjr It's actually ok if you have few REAL friends because a lot of people actually have very few REAL friends. While most of us may seem to be surrounded by "friends", they are not real friends that will be with you no matter what happens. I suggest you be...

rdcortezjr The key to a good marriage is communication. If something bothers you, you have to tell him. Otherwise, when you just keep it to yourself and soon more disappointments arise, you might just get fed up and cause a major fight. So when you do talk to him, don't...

Do you use any unconventional spices and seasonings?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 20 Jul 08

Don't get me wrong. I love store bought spices. But they do leave much lacking. Sometimes, when I buy the spice blends in the store, I find that they have too much of one particular spice. I wish that I could make my own...

rdcortezjr I love experimenting with new/weird spices that I find at supermarkets. On most days, I get terrific results. On not-so-good days, I get this weird food. But I still eat it, as I don't have the luxury to throw away food. And I really haven't gotten sick from...

If a married woman has no kids, does that make her less of a woman?

polaris714 @polaris714 (607) • Philippines 17 Jul 08

My friend has been married for 10 years, but until now they are still childless. She really wants to have kids, but so far no luck. And lately she has been lamenting that she feels as if she makes a poor wife and inferior as a...

rdcortezjr Of course not. If there are problems conceiving a child, it should not be taken against the woman (or the man). Sometimes, couples aren't blessed into having a child of their own. If she (or rather they) really wants to have a child, maybe they can adopt.
