How do second marriages compare to first marriages?? Discuss courtship patterns, gender differences, preparation, motivation, and stability in re-marriage.
There really is no difference of a first marriage and a second marriage. The things that might effect a second marriage are; prior children; so then you have pay child support; prior spouses; alimony to the prior spouse if they did not have children; and step children rivalry. There are so many more effects to the second marriage by the first marriage.
Courtship patterns may be harder the second time around because you are out of practice and you may have children and they could effect how you choose who you are courting. Gender makes a difference when it comes to how soon they start dating and how many persons they are courting. Usually men court more women then when a woman is courting she only commits to one man. Also gender makes a difference when it comes to having relations. There may be questions if a second marriage will be stable for the rest of their life or it will fail like the first one did.
Motivation to find someone new after getting divorced would be so they would not feel so lonely and would find someone to be sexual with again. Preparation would be to warn your children of what is going on and also to make sure you have all the essentials for your dates to come. A divorce is hard and finding a new someone is even harder because you do not want to fail again.

Week 13!!!!
(b.) Compare the research presented on "her" divorce and "his" divorce. What do you think accounts for the gendered differences in this regard??
We will first look at “Her” Divorce, next “His” Divorce, and then we will talk about gender differences in this case. “Her” Divorce has two solution factors: the salary gap among females and males, and so the courts do not award the ex-husband to pay for alimony and also child support. Mutually females and males are unable to get alimony from their prior spouses. Since males have higher pay they are unlikely to get alimony from their spouses. In a divorce the courts will also look at the females contributions towards the whole lot and the future earnings of the male. Many females suffer in a traditional marriage because they loss status, identity, and their home which they put all their work into.
“His” Divorce often has a lot of rage, disturbing pain, unreliability, other debts, ongoing disagreement with the former spouse, and remarriage can often turn into noncompliances with a court-ordered child support. Males also fear negative response due to their prior marriage. Even though most males get more profit from a divorce then a female in areas such as; economically, they also familiarity dislocation of a fall apart.
Gender differences in a divorce often are created from females and males unlike experiences in the actual marriage. Each marriage contains two different marriages “Hers” and “His” they are very opposite and that are why there is a “His Divorce” and a “Her Divorce.”

Week 12!!!
I love the Dixie Chicks. I believe songs like “Good-bye Earl” do increase the awareness of domestic violence, but only for a brief amount of time. I think that when people are not involved with the problem of domestic violence people do not realize how serious it is. People do not want to be thinking how serious and scary it could be if domestic violence happened to them, even someone they love, or someone they know. I do not think that songs that address domestic violence do a disservice to people that want to raise social consciousness. I think that the songs help a little bi but not enough. We still need to increase the knowledge of domestic violence across the world in elementary school, middle school, high school, and college. Other wise children will not understand how serious domestic violence really is.

Week # 8
(b) given the combination of rising costs of weddings and the decreased stigma of cohabitation and pre-marital sex, do you think that marriage has become more of an luxury, or an option, than a required passage to adulthood??
I believe that marriage has lost its excitement over the years. I mean it is not a requirement in order to have relations or be with the one you love. You can do as you please. You can live with a man or women and not be married, cohabiting, or have a common-law marriage. You can just be living with a boyfriend or girlfriend that you enjoy being with.
Getting married has gotten too expensive. I mean there are ways to get around an expensive marriage. I mean unless you want a big one of course. The bigger the ceremony and reception the more expensive it gets. The smaller the ceremony and reception if you choose to have one the cheaper it is. I had a cheap wedding, all I had to pay for was my dress the pastor, and the wedding license. The total I paid on my wedding was two hundred dollars. I did not have a reception. My reception was my husband, a few friends, and I went to Red Lobster for dinner and our friends split the bill. It was a short but sweet ceremony. Just the way I like it. I mean every women has her dreams no matter how much it cost they will get what they want.

week 7!!!
(a) Your college roommate or close friend is seriously considering cohabiting with her/his partner and has come to you for advice. What major issues would you discuss with her/him?? Discuss the current demographic trends and characteristics of cohabitation as well as the advantages and disadvantages of cohabitation as discussed in assigned reading.
Some of the current demographic trends on page 228, chapter 7 of cohabitation have increased over the years with not only the opposite sex but the same sex as well. In 2000 some statistics was nine unmarried couples. Also for most people mainly among younger adults, cohabitation it has become a longer process of courtship. This has affected the attitudes of high school seniors.
I would tell my roommate that it is a great idea for him/ her to move in with her partner. I think you never know the real person until you have lived with them for an extended amount of time. I mean you may find things that you do or do not like about that person. You may also have to get used to each others routines. Everyone has different ways of doing things and this could help get organized together.

Week Six!!!
(a.) Go to the following website and check out the information on talking about sex with your kids. How does the advice given on this website compare to how you learned about sex?? How does the way that a person talks about sex to her/his children communicate attitudes about sex?? How does it communicate attitudes about sex in the culture??
I believe the technique only works for some families. My family was very open about the subject. We would all sit around the dinner table during dinner and talk about it all the time. It felt as if it became a ritual. That may be the reason why my brother, sister, and I never brought or boyfriends or girlfriends around. The friends we did bring over for dinner we had to warn them to make sure that they felt comfortable about the matter.
It depends on how they feel about sex and how clear the parent makes it. Such as if a parent is calm and rational but as soon as the child asks a question about sex they flip out the child may become scared to talk to there parents about it. But if a parent does not speak to there child about sex at all maybe there child grows up and does not think anything is wrong or anything will happen if they have sex. There are many ways to look at it. Different cultures and religions have different feelings about sex. Some cultures and religions do not think it is moral to have sex until they are married or have sex at all. Everyone learns about sex a different way. Everyone teaches sex a different way as well. Techniques of the matter are a persons choice and they should choose how to confront the issue before, during, and after, just to check and make sure nothing bad has happened to there child.
