I think it’s healthy for couples to be away from each other for short periods.
People with fertility problems are not alone. It is a very very common problem for couples today. I’ve seen statistics that are just staggering.
I’ve dealt with a lot of couples over the years, and most cite the battle for closet and bathroom space as one of the most frequent causes of marital discord.
Gay couples cannot have children. All they can do is recruit your child.
Couples counseling gets many couples back together. But not all, and not always. For your own sake and that of your children, however, I recommend it – I almost insist on it – as the first step for anyone unhappy in a relationship.
All married couples should learn the art of battle as they should learn the art of making love. Good battle is objective and honest – never vicious or cruel. Good battle is healthy and constructive, and brings to a marriage the principles of equal partnership.
Before marriage, many couples are very much like people rushing to catch an airplane; once aboard, they turn into passengers. They just sit there.
You get those couples who are very fearful of bringing children into the mix because they feel like somehow that link between them as a couple is going to somehow dissolve or become less powerful or whatever. And that somehow the child is going to disrupt their happy stage.
I think straight couples have a schedule: You’re together for two years and then there’s the ‘where is this going?’ question, which wouldn’t necessarily be good for everyone, but I think it’s pretty healthy for relationships, for there to be a presumption that there is a decision to be made.
While religious institutions should be able to pick and choose which unions they bless, civil governments should issue marriage licenses to all couples.
Married couples who work together to build and maintain a business assume broad responsibilities. Not only is their work important to our local and national economies, but their success is central to the well-being of their families.
While childless couples are constantly asked, ‘Why they are not having children,’ my husband and I are bombarded with a different set of questions: ‘Why would you have so many?’ or ‘Are you done having children?’
We hold that same sex couples may exercise the fundamental right to marry in all states.
I grew up Protestant. My dad was a Charismatic pastor of the Families of God denomination. Often, we noticed that – during a lot of his evangelistic-type services – that some of the Amish and Old Order Mennonite couples would come and stand across the street from the church and look in the door.
Couples Therapy’ is pretty big for me because it’s opening the door to a new audience – a hip-hop following, which I feel is a bit more judgmental toward the LGBT community.
Couples are wholes and not wholes, what agrees disagrees, the concordant is discordant. From all things one and from one all things.
Sometimes learning simple little steps kind of gives couples a pattern that they can follow, and they feel a bit more confident. I literally melt every time I help a couple with their first dance, and they’re not dancers.
I grew up in a family where many of our close friends were gay couples. As well as that, every man goes through a period of thinking they’re attracted to another guy.
Of course, deciding whether or not to have children is a personal decision, but I would encourage couples to stay open to the idea that having a child or adopting provides both personal and societal benefits.
‘Dil Kabaddi’ is an urban comedy about couples breaking up and reconciling. It’s based on one of Woody Allen’s movies. Can’t remember which one.
Most couples manage to cooperate on child raising – for us, our brain project is our third child, so nothing different, really.
No couples in Virginia can adopt other than a married couple – that’s the right policy.
It is wrong for the federal government to deny benefits or privileges to couples who have lawfully wed.
Contempt is the only asymmetrical facial expression, so it’s easy to spot once you’re aware of its signs. One researcher has successfully tracked it in couples as a predictor of divorce. When someone is angry at you, you’ve still got traction with them, but when they display contempt, you’ve been dismissed.
I’ve spent my whole life watching straight couples and I still learned about love. It doesn’t necessarily matter who’s playing the part.
I believe couples should have separate bedrooms.
I’ve never liked watching real-life couples play couples onscreen or onstage. It takes me out of the story.
When I was growing up, there were people of color onscreen, but I never saw interracial couples.
A Sunday morning spent reading the paper together, maybe drinking some mimosas, alone, and talking until noon. That would be pretty amazing. Married couples with kids will understand.
I’m recognizable in certain circles, like girls know me, couples know me. But not all straight men know me.
I cannot, will never, understand these couples who hate each other, who conduct open warfare in front of their children – the kind of people who have to drop the kids off at the end of the driveway in case they lay eyes on one another. At the very least, civility must reign.
Older couples bring obligations such as support payments and debt as well as decades of financial experience to a marriage.
To believe that one, or even three, mates can supply all the things one needs from one’s friends is as stupid as believing married couples must do everything together.
The facts are plain: Religious leaders who preside over marriage ceremonies must and will be guided by what they believe. If they do not wish to celebrate marriages for same-sex couples, that is their right. The Supreme Court says so. And the Charter says so.
Getting married has certainly made a massive difference to my own life. So I am committed to giving support for family finances and having the right policies for work-life balance that make it easier for couples to have a rich family life.
If we could honestly promise young couples that we knew how to give them offspring with superior character, why should we assume they would decline? Common sense tells us that if scientists find ways to greatly improve human capabilities, there will no stopping the public from happily seizing them.
At first I was against Internet dating because there are some inherent risks, but I’ve seen so many happy couples who’ve met on the Internet that I’ve changed my mind.
Living with anyone for many years takes skill. To keep peace in the household, couples learn to adapt to one another, hopefully in positive ways.
Couples in their 30s are having trouble having kids. And you just kind of extrapolate that and say, ‘What if it happened to everybody? What kind of society would it be like if all of a sudden we knew that this was the end of the line – we couldn’t have kids?’
Watching Italian opera, all those male sopranos screeching, stupid fat couples rolling their eyes about. That’s not love, it’s just rubbish.
Working on ‘Downton Abbey’ is amazing, but there’s an ensemble cast of between 18 and 21 actors. With ‘Love Life,’ there are two couples and a few other key characters. As a smaller unit, you’ve got to take more responsibility – at the same time, you can have more ownership of the direction it’s going in.
An adversarial family law system raises the stakes unnecessarily high, exacerbates the antagonism of the couples concerned, and is directly responsible for making it impossible for couples who would otherwise have reconciled to do so.
There was a lot of great writing couples, but I try to do it all myself. And it was practically impossible, but I still managed to be ahead of my time.
I’m just there to do interviews and stuff, because we have about 40 media people there, so it’s a very, very busy week. But that’s the only time. I did marry, I think on one show, about 25 couples in Acapulco Bay once, but that was all just for kicks.
Research shows that couples who have a lot of similarities, including intellectual compatibility, end up staying together.
Gorsuch showed his true colors to the LGBTQ community when, in one of his first dissenting opinions on the high court, he advocated limiting the reach of the landmark 2015 marriage equality ruling by denying certain parenting rights to same-sex couples.
I really believe if you give people a product that couples entertainment with a little bit of education, a soft glove and sense of humor – especially about a subject people have begun to feel very frustrated about, which is the legal system – then you have a formula for success.
Most people assume that women are responsible for households and child care. Most couples operate that way – not all. That fundamental assumption holds women back.
To see two couples that are battling to make it work just shows that love is in a marriage, but there are also trials and things that you have to make it through and showing women and men how to keep it spicy.
In American fertility clinics, 75 percent of couples are requesting girls and not boys.
Very few empowered couples work together as peers.
Gay marriage is a divisive issue in France, where Fillon has vowed to block adoption by same-sex couples. The battle against Islamism also remains a rallying cry; Fillon’s campaign manifesto is called ‘Conquering Islamic Totalitarianism’.
