how important is financial support to the women?What important things do women consider when they are going to get married?
IF the man wants kids, have him put a bunch of money in a separate account to where you can be the only person to get it out. If you have a baby he takes off you can chase him for child support with his own money. 2 of my friends are going through this right now, it is so hard on the mothers.What important things do women consider when they are going to get married?
Security is very important to everyone. Marriage should be planned and talked about. Its not all about the bedroom life but about how your going to pay bills and live. If she thinks she will have to do it all, then she probably won't be a very happy marriage pardner. Don't get the cart before the horse, make sure you can take care (be the provider) of her before saying those vows.
Confucius says stop being a selfish gold-digging whore.

I know that they attened the wedding (Henry and the Queen ) and that Margret was one of their cousins. But my question is who's cousin and was it first or second or what? Was the Earl of Lennox already Calhoun or was it still Grant at that time?
Thanks for your help.How was Margret Douglas who married the Earl of Lennox related to Henry VIII and Katherine Parr?';?
Margaret Douglas, Countess of Lennox (October 8, 1515 鈥?March 7, 1578) was the daughter of Archibald Douglas, 6th Earl of Angus, and Margaret Tudor, queen dowager of Scotland.
Margaret was born at Harbottle Castle in Northumberland. Because of her nearness to the English crown, Lady Margaret Douglas was brought up chiefly at the English court in close association with the future Queen Mary I of England, who remained her fast friend throughout life. She was high in the favour of her uncle, King Henry VIII of England, but was twice disgraced; first for an attachment to Lord Thomas Howard, who was imprisoned because of his misalliance with Margaret, and died in the Tower of London in 1537, and again in 1541 for a similar affair with Thomas Howard's half-nephew Charles Howard, the half-brother of Queen Catherine Howard.
In 1544 she married a Scottish exile, Matthew Stewart, 4th Earl of Lennox (1516-1571), who was regent of Scotland in 1570-1571. During Mary's reign, the Countess of Lennox had rooms in Westminster Palace; but on the accession of Queen Elizabeth I, she moved to Yorkshire, where her home at Temple Newsam became a centre for Roman Catholic intrigue. She succeeded in marrying off her son, Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, to his cousin Mary, Queen of Scots, thus uniting their claims to the English throne.
So, he was her uncle.How was Margret Douglas who married the Earl of Lennox related to Henry VIII and Katherine Parr?';?
Margaret Douglas was Henry VIII's niece. Her mother was Henry's sister Margaret, who had been married first to King james IV of Scotland, then after his death to Archibald Dogulas, first earl of Angus, who was the father of Margaret Douglas.facial

Is it easier to file as immigrant to Canada when you are married? Any tips for easier approval?
or do you know other country needs an immigrant badly?Is it easier to file as immigrant to Canada when you are married? Any tips for easier approval?
Australia is looking for immigrants. With skills. Just do search on ';Australia immigration'; for an explanation of the different types.
For Canada, no being single is the best way, unless your spouse is highly skilled. Do a search for ';Canada immigration'; and take their test (it's an assessment of your chances of being an immigrat based on your education, age, skills, languages spoken, etc.). If you have relatives in Canada who are willing to sponsor you, so much the better. Also, you will need 12,000USD to support yourself for the first year in Canada while you get settled, so better save that up (as you must have proof of funds before admission as an immigrant).Is it easier to file as immigrant to Canada when you are married? Any tips for easier approval?
Non, it's not easier to apply (for YOU) if you are married or not. If you want to bring your partner/significant other into Canada at the same time, it would be easier for THEM if you two were married. If one of you is approved, their spouse will be almost automatically approved too, so long as they pass medical %26amp; security checks. So in general, if both of you are planning to come to Canada anyways, it's easier if you are married.
There's a Yahoo! Group for immigration to Canada that helps answer your questions, called Immigration Canada: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/immigratio鈥?/a>

From a pure economic perspective which is better staying single or getting married?
Considering that being single means all your earnings are kept to yourself. There wouldn't be children or family to spend money on. On the other hand, if you're married you will have almost double income as most couple share their finances.From a pure economic perspective which is better staying single or getting married?
As long as you can STAY married it is probably a better economic decision. Divorce is an expensive diversion that is infinitely more expensive than either remaining single or staying married.
Assuming you remain married for the long term you could take advantage of tax breaks like income splitting, child tax benefits, pooled health and dental benefits, shared accomodation costs and joint retirement savings (pooled principal = higher interest earnings/market returns).
Sure, children cost money to raise but they will save you money on things like household maintenance and long term care as you age. Not enough to earn back what you've spent, but hey, happiness in one area of your life can prevent spending in others like binge-drinking and loose women.
As long as we're on women it also bears consideration that a long term partner, while initially expensive (i.e. wedding and a ring), will cost less in the long run than a series of partners whom you wish to impress through splashy first dates and expensive gifts. Also the cost of satisfying your, um, carnal needs is likely lower in the marital bed than through, um, professional services like strippers, escorts, and one night stands.
Of course all of these financial benefits can be negated by being a philandering free spender with his divorce attorney on speed dial...But we all know that any endeavour involving lawyers only benefits lawyers.
Besides, if you don't have the self control to keep it in your pants or the reason to convince the wife to wait on buying that deep freeze, you're probably not destined for financial success anyway- married or single...From a pure economic perspective which is better staying single or getting married?
I agree with MSean.
Get married but have no or few (like only one child) as this is the most efficient as two can live cheaper than one. Not only that, if one loses their job, you can normally live off the other's pay until reemployed. Also, you can live a better life style and save more if you are smart. Most but not all married people have to many children and set them selves up for failure(financial).
Economist Harry Dent says that people enter their peak spending years between 25 and 50. These are peak spending because that's when they are raising a family. After the kids leave home the parents become savers, not spenders. That's why our economy has turned down lately, The Boomers have passed their peak spending years.
My opinion from a real world standpoint is that economically you would be better off single. Especially if you are male. On paper the dual income looks good, but in the real world 80 percent of household spending is done by the woman of the house. You will have lost control of most of your income.

How do I get a married man to be interested in me again so I can diss him?
This guy got me really interested in him and I found out he is married. He told me he was separated and we continued the ';friendship';. Now we are at a crossroads because I basically told him I want the truth from him and all he tells me is that he wants me. I know what that means and now I want to get back at him and make him want me more so I can leave him.How do I get a married man to be interested in me again so I can diss him?
That's twisted stuff.How do I get a married man to be interested in me again so I can diss him?
perhaps, that might not be a good idea. revenge is not a good behavior. just believe he will get whats coming to him in the end. just depart from him and move on and find another nice guy. Its a waste of precious time, and why waste TIME on someone who doesn't give a damn. I know your angry and hurt, and we do things out of hate, but down the road you ll realize how stupid it was. So im telling you now before you make foolish mistakes. I would check the background of the next guy you date, and scope him out before you further a relationship with them, and it will spare you many heartaches in the future. Good luck and remember to not waste time on trash. unfortunately its ashame you wasted too much time on him already.
Grow up and stop playing games, the guy is married leave him alone! If it were my husband and I found out a girl was tying to do that there would be a fight
What's the point? He played with you and now you want revenge? The best revenge is to live well, be happy and forget about him. He's not worth it. Trust. ';-()
I guess you can act flirty and fun while you are with him so he knows what he is missing
Don't do a thing. Haven't you heard of karma? What goes around comes around and he'll get his, don't waste another second of your life thinking about him!
You are fooling yourself about get him back to dump him to hurt him
Revenge is NEVER worthwhile.
omg he is married got over it
jeez
u want him to like u so u can diss him
you sound way too young and immature to be seeing a married man
how old are you?? 12
revenge is never the answer

How can I win sole custody of my child despite not being married?
Basically, this is a battle for a child out of wedlockHow can I win sole custody of my child despite not being married?
I鈥檓 a Father鈥檚 Rights Advocate for 20 years.
Many think the courts are rigged against dads, but in reality, it is more about attorneys unwilling or lacking the knowledge to truly fight for the father's rights. This is why it is important to learn how to interview and hire the right attorney. It is also important to do as much as possible on your own and not pay the attorney to do it.
Start keeping a daily journal of all your activities. The most common way to prevent a father from getting his rights through the courts is a false allegation, usually sexual. Over 60% of divorcing father are accused of child sexual abuse, of which only 4% are found to have any relevance, but there are no penalties for doing so. A daily journal is your number one piece of evidence in court and you can even refer to it while on the stand.
Gather evidence. Check the site below to see if it is illegal to record conversations without the other person knowing. If your state does not have a law either way, than it defaults to the federal ruling which says one person in a conversation must know they are being recorded. You鈥檙e that one person. In Missouri it is specifically legal, in Kansas there is no mention either way. If you live in two different states, and one has a law against it, than it applies when the call originates from within that state,
Now, you can't just record, you also have to transcribe it into the daily journal.
If you want to learn how to do all this go to Dads House in Yahoo Groups. There's an educational manual in the file section that can teach you what you need to know. The organization it came from is defunct due to attorneys that tried to take it over and make money from it.

http://www.parentalalienation.org/How can I win sole custody of my child despite not being married?
If you are a male and the child is under eight, this will be very difficult.
The ';tender years'; doctrine is one that is followed by almost every state family court system. Absent establishment of lack of fitness by virtue of drug use, chronic alcoholism, prostitution, abandonment of the child periodically or criminal incarceration, the best interests of the child are always presumed by the Court to be by having the mother be the primary custodial parent.
If you are battling with the child's mother, is it about money? I ask because sometimes parents have a price, and a lump sum offer may cause her to agree to give you primary physical custody.
Absent that, the best you can hope for is a liberal visitation schedule that adopts a co-parenting model favored by the courts. You will need to retain a Father's Right's attorney to assist you.
Is the other parent unfit, or are you just trying to punish them using your child as the device of torture? If the other parent is fit, it would be in your child's best interest to have equal time with both of you.
Proving the other parent unfit would be the first step towards sole custody...
Unless you can prove the father unfit, you can't....Sorry.
The child is genetically half his, or did you forget that?
You picked him to be the father (remember??), and as such, he has legal rights.
I agree with girlegi.
but with Three things added
One will have physical custody...
Child support from the noncustodial parent. set at about 33 % of gross income...
Visitation set out clearly. ...
The woman wins that all the time.
Get a lawyer or try to get along with the father enough to split custody fairly
The battle is the same if you are married or not.
You file for sole custody and go to court. (Forms are at the courthouse- you know... the big building downtown)
