Regret taking you off ignore. Fixed.
Given that Tiffany, Donald Trump's 2nd daughter, was born to Marla Maples 2 months before they were married, may I respectfully suggest that he receive his public whipping as part of "family values" night at the Republican Convention!
I respectfully second that motion!

About as well thought out and considered a response I've come not to expect...
Be honest for once, admit that you both were "proud" when Donald's special guest spoke at the RNC the other night.

I'm up for most of that.
You can call me 'hypocrite' if you like, having lived in sin with my wife for fourteen years before we married.
Look, you can whip 'em publicly, flog 'em in shopping malls, imprison 'em in nasty island prisons....... but please, please..... you can't force 'em to watch Mr Cowell on America's got Talent. Not that.
Where is your humanity?
I assume during those 14 years there were children born out of wedlock? (I won't bother to ask if abortions took place, eider might find that offensive). So why after 14 years did you decide to marry?

You assume.....!
No. My wife neither wanted nor could bear children.
Why we married is between us..... We have now been married for 11 years, so together for 24 in all. My first wife died.
Nobody has the right to control love, harmony, togetherness.
That makes no sense whatsoever .... outside of seeing clips and pieces, I am not viewing Donald "The Joke" Trump's personal ego fest. Even if he is elected, I will never refer to him or consider him the POTUS.
I would consider that ... wise. Had I lived with my ex-husband prior to marriage, it is more than likely I would have called off the wedding ... and moved out.
At what point does cohabitation become a marriage? If you prefer, do you need a piece of paper or some sort of ceremony saying you are married to be married?

Good point.
My first wife was a Bahai, and Bahais insist upon no-sex before marriage. Oh dear! Some marriages were a shambles, with shocked new Bahai wives telling dreadful stories about what their husbands 'wanted to do', and new Bahai husbands moaning about their wives (which was breaking the no back-biting rule!! Dreadful!!) My first wife and I were married for nearly twenty years and had two sons and a daughter before her death.
That was why, leter on, I did not marry my girlfriend for nearly fourteen years. Over here, if you marry, your wife becopmes first-in-line to inherit. I needed to prepare, and then I sold the family home and split up the funds from it amongst my children and self, as if I had died...... and then I proposed to my girlfriend, poor as a church mouse and completely free of all other financial responsibilities. We got a tiny place together where we have lived happily ever since. Peace, harmony, happiness.
Big homes, money and status are worth nothing if a person is unhappy, harassed etc, but I guess you already know that.

Good question!
Although common-law husbands and wives have less and less protection and status these days, in the UK a couple became 'common-law' husband-and-wife after living together for (I think) two years.
But it is much more legally safe for a couple to be (either) joined by civil partnership (or) by marriage. Recently a neighbour died, and his sons had the neighbour's live-in partner evicted from the property, sold it, and divided the funds between themselves. The neighbour's partner was put out of the home with nothing. They had lived together for years.
People........ don't ya just luv 'em?

My condolences on the loss of your first wife, I can't imagine the pain.
Actually a righteous civil government has that right, along with a society that has strong mores' that frown upon immoral behavior. I'd shown in an earlier post that cohabitation on a large scale brings about loss of life (abortion) and dysfunctional homes where children frequently grow up without the guidance of a dad in the house.
Art Brain's attempt at a joke isn't so funny to those of us that have studied the results of cohabitation, and see it in today's moral relativist society.
