That's a great idea, but no company can guarantee that a diamond is conflict-free, unless they come from Canada. With DeBeers' monopoly on diamonds, dirty diamonds still get thrown into the mix, even with the Kimberley Process. Any major retailer (Zales, Kay's, etc.) absolutely cannot guarantee...

I'm also of the mindset that it's important to get away. After all of the planning and stress of a wedding, it's really a good idea to take a vacation, if for no other reason. You'll have the rest of your life to be at home. Enjoy those first few days together somewhere special!

We went very cheap. I believe we spent less than $2,000 on everything for our wedding. It wasn't about the wedding for us. I wanted to have something nice, but not something so extravagant that I would be disappointed every day for the rest of my life. We spent the same amount on our honeymoon...

What stands out the most to me is the amount of "mys" and "Is" in your original post. That's not what marriage is about us. It's about "we" and "us", and if you aren't willing to take on that mindset, perhaps you aren't quite ready for marriage. If changing your name is that big of a deal to...

I won't wear diamonds. When my husband and I first got engaged, he proposed with a diamond engagement ring. Two years after we got married, I stumbled across information about diamonds, and the women and children who are killed and the families that are destroyed by the diamond cartel. If you...

I didn't really have any "signs" per se. I just KNEW. I went home after our first date and told my mother I was going to marry him. Seven months later, we were engaged and got married a year after that!

oops. posted in the wrong spot.

My husband and I are complete opposites in every way, except when it comes to our values, morals and relationships with Christ. Because of that, I have wondered sometimes if I picked the wrong guy, but then something happens and it just reminds me once again of how our opposites equal and even...

We went cheap, but nice. Our whole wedding cost less than $2,000.00 including my dress. I wanted to spend our focus on the honeymoon instead of one day that we'd soon forget. But it ended up huge, due to the size of my husband's family. We had close to 400 people there. I wasn't thrilled about...

What's mine is his and vice versa. We have only joint accounts and will only continue to have joint accounts. I don't believe in separating anything once you get marriage. It only makes things easier if someone starts considering divorce; it leaves too many opportunities for getting out...

0. I don't know how many I want either. Somedays I think I want kids, other times I'm not sure....I'm definitely into the idea of adoption...I'd have kids right this second if we could adopt, but having my own? I don't know...there are an awful lot of kids out there who need good homes...

Thank you for reminding me why I decided to stop coming to CF. I ask a simple question and get berated by good Christian people who want to make assumptions and throw around accusations. Same ****, different day. There is a reason this forum has led to people renouncing their faith in Christ...

I find them to be heinous and distateful. If my husband didn't trust me with his finances, he probably wouldn't trust me in other areas of my life, and I couldn't be married to someone that insecure. Why bother getting married if you're preparing for divorce before it even begins?

[/b][/font] What did you do then that you don't do now? Romance is a two-way street... If I felt as badly as you do about his television-watching, the TV would be gone tonight by the time he got home from work. A defeatist attitude is destined for defeat 100% of the time. Again...

Forgive me for posting in here. I'll be sure not to do it again until I have children of my own so I'm able to give a "real" opinion.

I do not understand what is so difficult about marriage. I've been married for 4 years, and it's been the best 4 of my entire life. I just think if marriage is a struggle, somebody is doing something wrong. Play the judgemental card. I get that all the time here. I give my opinion just like...

Take a vacation. Don't tell her about it until she needs to have her bags packed. Sounds like you two need a break from the daily grind.

I wouldn't ever stay with a man who cheated on me, but I was listening to a guy on TV the other day and he said the #1 advice he'd give to a woman taking a man back is don't withhold sex. You're just asking for more of the same problems.

I've never understood marriage counseling. If you can't work out your own personal issue, what is a third party going to do for you?
