Singles are supposed to ask questions to marrieds. But the rule to asking such questions in the married subforum requires one to be married first. I don't get it. Marrieds have to ask singles questions?

Wow. Very insightful point, Redblue. You don't know how many times I've wanted to reply to singles threads but did not have sufficient privileges. I suppose they have their reasons, but whatever they are they may not be well thought out.

I hope it gets fixed. I usually understand the reasoning behind their rules, but when it comes to dividing up marrieds and singles into two entirely different hemispheres I don't get it either.

I think a "Singles ask Marrieds" forum is an excellent idea. Sharing tips, advice and practical suggestions to what has worked in seeking a mate, working through planning a wedding, and how to discuss and work through various issues that may come up in the course of a marriage before marriage, could be very helpful to some.

That one forum in the Married's area is open to single members to ask questions of married members. The SoP for that forum is here.
Oops. I hadn't noticed, or had forgotten, about that. It certainly makes good sense.

that section is not open to new threads or added replies.

The link I posted goes to the Statement of Purpose thread that is closed for replies. The forum itself is open to new threads and replies.

Hmmm. I wonder if more singles have that same issue. I should think that folder would be seeing a LOT more use than it is.
