Still up Stringer! :eek:
I'm now on role modelling. After that, I'll have religion and then conclusion. Phew, then another essay, this time I'll do the one on marriage.

HI Unky, you should be able to find role models in education, sports (not Tiger Woods though), science, philosophers...Quote:

Ok, my sister is claiming the computer. See you in about 8 hours time! :)
Good Morning everbody. Can someone please help me out and give me a greenie on one of my posts? A somewhat new person gave me a reddie and called me stupid. The OP asked for ways to tell a guy no and I simply suggested a few ways. I would give that person a reddie back but I don't want to stoop that low. Here is the thread and you can read it. If it looks like a deserved a reddie then so be it and everyone who looks at it can give me one because I deserved it.

Balanced! :)
I prefer to keep away from those types of forums... because if someone doesn't agree with how I might think, well, I'm going to get reddies before I understand what's happening to me :eek: :p
Thanks a lot unky. I appreciate it. I was just making a suggestion.
I'm now on my next essay, marriage. The question is 'What are the causes of divorce? Provide appropriate solutions'
The causes I came up with:
Absence of trust/Infidelity
Domestic Violence
'Empty shell marriage'
Lack of physical contact
Less social stigma (I'm not sure how stigma arises when you get divorced :confused:)
Pressures from in-laws
Economic freedom
Education-one knows one's rights
Incompatibility
'Erreur sur la personne' (the person didn't know the partner well enough)
Erosion of moral values - Religious provisions (don't quite understand this one either)
Laws simplified (does that mean divorce procedures are simpler?)
Ok, I've not started yet. I won't add things I'm not sure about and the only things I really need are examples and the solutions. I know you guys know a lot of stuff about those ;).
Alty, I finished my other essay on moral education :)
Hey Bear, I know how much you like snow my friend... this is what we received today... as you can see it is still snowing. Sorry about the last one, you will have to turn your head to the left :(
The first two are from our patio in the back and the last one was taken a few minutes ago out my front door.

It all seems so smooth :)!
Hi Stringer! :)

Hi Unky, I am off to bed now... later...Quote:

I agree, those are a few of the major ones.
Studies have shown that most marriages end either because of money or because of sex. That's either lack of sex or sex with someone else.
Thanks!
I now need the solutions to those problems. I know, and have seen that most of the time, counselling is the way to go. Being honest in most occasions is the solution. Are there more?
Night Stringer :)!
I agree Alty... I don't want or need those problems... that's why I am saying g'night my friend... time for bed... :)
TCB Unky... (Always) Take Care of 'Business', another is loss of love as a result of a lot of the other things.Quote:

Infidelity is very common. Usually the unfaithful partner is stepping outside the marriage because their needs aren't being fulfilled at home. There's usually a lack of communication, and the person feels like they have nowhere to turn. Sex outside the marriage usually doesn't have as much to do with physical need as it has to do with emotional need. Counseling is a definite must if they want the relationship to be saved.
LOL! Go love your wife Stringer. You're a lucky man. :)Quote:

Let me know how it goes. I love essays, that was always my favorite part of school. Maybe because I always did really well on them. ;)
That and art.
I almost miss school. :(
Ok, finished with the introduction. Now, the first paragraph. With what should I start ? Hmm...
Incompatibility/immaturity seem to get along in the same paragraph
I like it.
I'd love to read it when you're done. :)
:eek: That makes 8 body paragraphs (I hope that will amount up to that) and the introduction and the conclusion! I'll take some time, for sure. I'll try my best to finish and send it to you via email.
Ok, where was I? Ah, the most frequent cause of divorce is immaturity in between the couple. Wait, that should be in my copybook :eek:
LOL! I miss this!
I wish I could write it for you Unky, but that would be against the rules. ;)
Ok, first two paragraphs complete. On to the next, lack of physical contact/laziness/energy in marriage.
Ok, now, 5th paragraph, domestic violence.
Currently on the last (8th) paragraph...
I'm getting a little trouble on supporting the fact that counselling saves marriages. I googled, and keep getting sites saying that only 10-12% of marriages are saved :eek:
Ok, I put 80% even though I'm not sure if that's true...
Finished the thing! :D
It depends on the counseling, the counselor, it also depends on what the couple is going into counseling for.
Most couples that go to counseling to get help with dealing with an extramarital affair sadly do not make it. It's a hard thing to accept. It's a hard thing to get over.
As for counseling for financial issues, I don't know the percentage of success but I would guess that it's a lot higher then 10 - 12%.
Sorry Unky, I don't have the stats at my fingertips and you've already googled so that obviously won't help. :(
Anyway, you were of great help !:) Thank you!
I guess those are some sort of advertisements that try to deter people from going to counsellors.
Oh, does it exist, a place where couples are allowed to stay together in a home to get to know each other better before getting married? I seem to have heard of that, but I'm not sure...
I've never heard of that Unky.
I know that there is marriage counseling for couples planning to get married. A lot of churches offer it. R and I had to go through some classes at the church before we got married. With R's wise arse remarks I'm surprised that the Pastor didn't kick us out. ;)
I have to get to bed, it's getting late and I have a very full day planned tomorrow, lots to do.
I'm glad that I helped at least a little bit.
Good night Unky. :)
Night Alty! Sweet dreams with hubby :)
You don't have to support your statements with a reference?Quote:

Well, no reference required. It's a basic essay. You are given a title, you only need to develop. Then, it is good, my teacher says to support my ideas with concrete examples. I'm trying my best to find some, but it's not that easy at times for certain topics.Quote:

Good moring people.
Is there someone out here??
