Honeymoon

*edit*I claim I was drunk. And I just ****ed a fat chick, so I was extremely depressed.

I admire those who abstain before marriage. I don't understand it, but I admire it. Anyone who can take the chance that their lifetime commitment will be perfectly cooked filet mignon rather than a cold, stale **** sandwich with a hair in it deserves admiration. Because that **** sandwich might taste like filet mignon at first when you've spent a liftetime craving and wondering. Then one day, you realize, no, it's just a **** sandwich and it does have a hair in it.

Bon appetit.
 
My wife and I went to Cancun as well. It was tons of fun, we stayed at an all inclusive hotel that had five restuarants and a fridge in our room that was always packed with goodies all the time. It was also a no tipping resort. It had like 5 pools and was right on the beach where you could get as many 'virgin" drinks as you want. I would suggest this. Look into Frontier airlines they have a direct flight from SLC to Cancun.
 
Archie or anybody, what are your thoughts on kids that get married young (18-24~) due to religious views?

Adults can make those decisions. I have no problem with what other people do if they feel that is the right choice. However, I do think there are tons of clowns who get married and don't realize the significance of what they are doing. It makes marriages look really bad.

Do you think it's possible to truly or even slightly know and love the person they are getting married too at that age(for the majority, I know they're are exceptions)?

Of course it is, just like it's possible that they truly aren't in love. My football coach in high school, who is currently Lehi High's head wrestling coach got engaged after one week of meeting his wife. They got married shortly after. He simply said he did it because he was in love. They've had an awesome marriage ever since.

A lot of strong members of religion get engaged within a few months of knowing someone, than the marriage ceremony soon follows. Because they've only known their soon to be spouse for a small amount of time, what do you think is the probability of it just being lust and they're just horny kids and they mistake that for actual love?

Again, of course. Just like there are possibilities that they are getting married because they truly love each other. There are also tons of people in the world who get married for a lot of other wrong reasons like money, status, pressure, knocking someone up etc.

Do you think kids getting married just for sex is, what seems like an unnoticed or unacknowledged(imo), issue in religions like the LDS church? Couldn't getting married young without truly knowing the person create an abundance of issues down the road especially when the church you believe in is strongly against divorce. Shouldn't they be concerned that people are getting married at this age and barely even knowing the other person? Why doesn't it seem to be addressed?

Trust me, it's stressed very much in the LDS religion. There are interviews, classes, and General Conferences that beat those issues to death. Seems like you just have a mislead opinion.

Sorry, I really didn't mean to archie this thread Archie, but I have friends who are in the LDS church who got married young and it's created a lot of painful issues in their lives.

Yes, a lot of LDS people get married and married young, but I know a ton of non-LDS people here in Utah that get married young and have painful issues as well. I'll be 27 in October, btw.
Overall, the Mormon divorce rate appears to be no different from the average American divorce rate. A 1999 study by Barna Research of nearly 4,000 U.S. adults showed that 24% of Mormon marriages end in divorce -- a number statistically equal to the divorce rate among all Americans

It seems like leaders of your church(or any like I said above) are happy when girls who are right out of high school and boys right off their missions get married within months of knowing each other.

Are leaders are happy when people get married? Sure. I think there are people that get married too young, but then again, I don't think it's my place to say. If someone is 18 and wants to get married, that's their choice. I have a lot of very close friends that got married right after the mission, and only one of them got divorced, the rest have happy marriages. The church's basic teachings are family, and putting others first. I believe that if people love each other, and put their partner first, then they have good chances of having a successful marriage. With that being said, there are tons of people, both mormon and non-mormon who don't do that and get married for the wrong reasons.

I just don't see how that can be a good thing.

Letting adults make decisions?


It just seems like sex outside of marriage is made out to be a disastrous thing yet something as big as marriage is a no biggie (it terms of being ready).

It's not so much that sex outside of marriage is a disastrous thing, mormons just consider sex to be a sacred thing. Marriage however is stressed over and over again as being the biggest and most important decision one can make, or at least how I've been taught. I don't know where you are getting "is made out to be no biggie" from.


Also, on a side note. Just cause I'm getting married doesn't mean I'm getting married in the temple and that I've practiced abstinence, and I'm not saying I'm not. I just wanted some ideas about a good honeymoon location.
 
Gittin married ROCKS! I've been married 37 times. Everyone of them Babes was filthy rich when I married them, too! Unfortunately, within a couple months they were all impoverished, so I had no choice but to divorce their sorry ***, but, still.......

Wait a minute. What happened to the 50% divorce rate that I see thrown around on a regular basis?

I can't imagine marrying someone without having at least talked about wants, needs and desires in great depth before getting hitched.

Funny story. I had a friend that got married within a couple of months after returning from his mission. He and his wife had dated since 9th grade and she had waited for him while he was out in the field. She was the epitome of Little Miss Molly Mormon. During the entire time they dated she wouldn't make out. She wouldn't even talk about sex because "it might lead to something worse". Essentially, when they got married the most they had ever done was hold hands, cuddle while watching a movie and quick kisses on the lips. We used to tease him that his sex life was going to bite but he loved her and didn't think it mattered.

He ended up spending the entire first night of their marriage in the bathroom because she was so aggressive and so nasty that he totally freaked out and didn't know what to do. LOL He got over it but for a while he honestly thought that he had made a huge mistake. It took a few days for us to convince him how lucky he was and to just shut up and enjoy it!

I recently got back from a cruise to the western Caribbean. It was pretty much the greatest vacation ever. 7 nights, 4 stops (Jamaica, Cayman Islands, Cozumel Mexico, and Haiti). Sailed on Royal Caribbean, Liberty of the Seas.
I definitely encourage a Western Caribbean cruise.
