~*~* QOTD Thursday Jan 27 *~*~

Sorry for the delay in todays question of the day!

Are your parents still married? If they are divorced did they remarry?

Does your parents marital status help or make you nervous about getting married?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
My parents are divorced.. my dad is remarried my mom is not.

It doesnt really make me nervous.. it makes me determined to make my marriage work and break the curse my family has (my dads side has 100% divorce rate going all the way back to my grandparents and so far ending at my older brother haha)

eta - FHs parents are still married.. I think they will be married 39 or 40 years on our wedding day!

My Parents are still married. They have been married for almost 25 years. There is not a lot of divorce in my family but FH parents got divorced when he was young.
I don't think it effects either of us though. We are happy to be getting married and hopefully celebrating our 25th, 50th, etc. wedding anniversaries together!

My Parents have never been married but they have been living together for almost 30 years. So you can say they fall in the Common Law Marriage category. I know its weird but they have been living like a married couple for the past 30 years and are happy being like that.

FH parents however were married by law and church but they are no longer together. They are divorced.

I always knew I wanted to get married. My parents always encouraged me to get married one day although they couldn't set that example for me. FH was a lil aprehensive about getting married because his parents marriage didn't work out, but he over came that and now we are determined to try our hardest to make our future marriage work.

My parents are still married, 31 years this year and FH parents are still married 42 years this year!

My parents are what I look up to as a married couple. They are still very much in love and happy together. They kiss and hug and cuddle all the time and it never grossed me out, it made me realize I was lucky to have such a strong love influence in my life.

My parents are still married. There were a lot of rough times but still married. I do not want my relationship to be the same way theirs is.

Re: ~*~* QOTD Thursday Jan 27 *~*~

UGH,, this question way to close to home for my liking ;(

My parents are divorce since I am 4 YO. My dad and mom both re-married. My mom is working on her second divorce.

Her and I really dont get along. we dont see eye to eye on many issues and ideas.

Since we dont speak, i am not sure if she will come to the wedding, I have mentally prepare myself for this for a few years now. (she didnt go to my brothers as well)

my own issues are; not havng a mother at the wedding or to share the moement with me, to guide me but my MOH has filled that hole I have and I love her for that.

and the wording on the invites; I want to put ' Mr & Mrs. Dendrinos.. request...
BUT she no longer a Dendrinos, but she was one when I was born?!? or do I even give her the respect since she not involved?


Sorry I said it hits home

TIA

''breathe:::

FH side: FH mother passed away when he was 3YO. His father has re-married 4 times... really dont know what to say about that

Edit: to add Fh info

Both FH and my parents are still married. I always joke with FH and tell him I'm undivorable and your stuck with me for life. Hopefully FH and I will be able to see our 50th wedding anniversary with each other.

Both sets of parents are divorced. My mom, dad, and his mom have been divorced twice and his dad is remarried. I'm not worried about it. Their relationships have nothing to do with ours.

My parents are divorced and neither got remarried. FH's parents are divorced and both are remarried. It kind of makes me nervous because they say that it runs in the family. I am determined also to make sure that it doesn't happen to us.

My parents are married and it will be exactly 40 years to the date when we get married, the following day will be FH parents' 24th anniversary. I am blessed to have such committed relationships on both sides! :)

Re: ~*~* QOTD Thursday Jan 27 *~*~

My parents are still married...this year will be 30 years

FH's parents are still married...this year I think will 38 years

FH's Grandparents have been married 65 years

and if my grandpa was still here (he passed away dec 2009) my grandparents would be at 60 i think


It's crazy to think how long these people have been together! I think it's FABULOUS!!!

Although, it really has nothing to do with us! It's just nice to see

Re: ~*~* QOTD Thursday Jan 27 *~*~

My parents will be married for 30 years in September. FH's parents have been married for 33years.

My parents and FH's parents marital status def. gives me reassurance that not all marriages end in divorce. The statistic is what you make of it :)

Re: ~*~* QOTD Thursday Jan 27 *~*~

ughhhh....

Well my parents have been married for 30 something years, but they can't really stand each other and are just roommates. They're definately more civil than when I was living at home, it was horrible, but I don't think its like that at all anymore.

FH has had like 6 step-moms and he does not speak to his own mother. His childhood was a bit traumatic in that sense and I think was scared of marriage as well.

FFIL and FMIL have been married for about 10 years and they're absolutely wonderful now. BUT the way FH saw marriage growing up scares me into thinking that he will follow in their footsteps. We've talked about it and he thinks its affected him for the better, so I'm being as positive as I can.

My parents are still married (something like 30 years now!) so it gives me hope that we can make it work, too FH's parents have also been married for around 30 years. I think having parents who have been together for so long gives us faith in ourselves to go through anything together

My parents are not tgether anymore and they haven't been since I was 4 yearsold.. To be honest I am so used to them not being together it would be weird to have it any other way! Although I lived with my mom my whole life I have such an amazing relationship with my dad and I am a total daddys girl!!! I can't wait to dance with my dad at my wedding
