If you are a chain-smoker, heavy drinker or are extremely overweight, you are likely to find it difficult obtaining a life insurance policy with reasonable premium rates. However, sexual orientation should now have no bearing on the availability to you of insurance products. This positive development is reflected in the recently published guide from the Association of British Insurers (ABI), which was co-produced with Compass, the gay financial advisers.
Despite the fact that, since October 2005 insurance companies have no longer been asking the kind of questions which may lead to disclosure of sexuality (and so the possibility of premium rates being raised because of a potential HIV/AIDS connection), concerns about life insurance expense and prejudice have persisted in the gay community.
Unnecessary fears have resulted in many rejecting life cover altogether – an unadvisable move for anyone with a partner or mortgage. Ever since the first appearance of AIDS in the early 1980s, many gay men applying for life cover have complained of unfair treatment, referring to the question about sexuality (the ‘gay question’) on application forms for life insurance, critical illness cover and income protection.
The ABI guidance has put to an end this practice and that of asking any other intrusive personal questions. The guidance also cleared up the common misconception that simply taking an HIV test will be damaging to applications from gay men. In fact, you are not required to declare negative tests.
On the other hand, insurers can ask all applicants a more general question such as “Within the past five years, have you been exposed to the risk of HIV infection?” This is understandable given that HIV can be contracted not just as a result of unsafe sex, but also through intravenous drug use, blood transfusions, and surgery undertaken in certain parts of the world.
If you have tested positive for HIV, you most disclose this information on your application form. You should also disclose any sexually transmitted disease you may have had, although you are not expected to make judgements on the health implications of such diseases. One-off minor infections are not likely to be of any concern to insurers, but if there is any doubt about long term implications for health (as, for example, would be the case concerning syphilis) your doctor will be contacted, with your consent.
Moreover, insurers can no longer make assumptions about sexuality from details of your living arrangements, occupation or medical history. An individual’s occupation now cannot be used to indicate HIV risk; however, it is legitimate for insurers to ask about your occupation for the purpose of calculating the risk of death or accidents at work.
According to the ABI, there is at present no data on the sexual behaviour of couples in a civil partnership. Consequently, some life insurance companies still treat gay couples as single people when assessing HIV risk, while other providers apply the same consideration to those in a civil partnership as they would to a heterosexual married couple.
According to the Office for National Statistics, almost 16,000 gay partnerships have taken place since the Civil Partnership Act of December 2005. And currently, the ABI is working to insure that men registering civil partnerships are treated the same as married couples with regard to HIV risk.

What does marriage really mean? Is it also a legal relationship? What are the consequences of marriage and divorce? How will it change your life? What does the dissolution of marriage mean and what is involved in the proceeding?
Getting married isn’t just living together until death or divorce. When you marry you enter into a legal relationship with many consequences on your ownership of money, your possessions, your children and ultimately how you relate. Persons getting married should research information about what marriage really means and what impact it can have on your future. For those considering marriage there are pre-marital classes. A “prenuptial agreement” can determine the economic issues if one dies or the marriage is dissolved. If there isn’t a written or verbal agreement referencing assets and liabilities; the court will have a trial to determine who gets what and who will pay what. If a party owes a debt prior to the marriage and that debt still exists at the time of the divorce that party will still be responsible for that debt unless other agreed to arrangements were made.
Once a petition for dissolution of marriage is filed in Florida, then legal service is required of the other person. That party must file a written answer. Financial information to and from his or her spouse is required. Most courts where children are involved require parenting classes. In Florida there are (2) legally acceptable reasons for divorce. They are: if a party is declared legally incompetent for over (3) years or the marriage is “irretrievably broken” This means there is nothing that the court can do. If there are children and a party denies that the marriage is “irretrievably broken” then the court may order counseling and the proceedings may be delayed up to (3) months for possible reconciliation. Most courts where children are involved require parenting classes. Divorce proceedings are public proceedings and are available for review at the courthouse.
The court begins the process of division by first setting aside “non marital” which were owned prior to marriage or inherited or properties agreed to in a written agreement between both parties as non marital. Assets and liabilities will be distributed equally or not, based on equitable factors; for example a career. The court may award some assets to each party and balance the difference through a cash payment.
A trial judge may enter orders while the divorce action is pending dealing with support, maintenance, possession, where any children may live, and the time spent with each parent, and also, attorney fees and costs.
A final judgment from the court must be obtained to dissolve the marriage. Matters of property, support and child-related issues will be determined.
In summary, getting married is a legal relationship which has bearing on many factors including your future and how you relate to each other. There are premarital classes to research information on what marriage can mean for you. Consider a “prenuptial agreement” to determine the economic issues if one dies or the marriage ends. Is your marriage “irretrievably broken” or will counsel help?

A traditional wedding held in the Philippines is a venue that we all take advantage of to pay the most influential people in our lives utmost respect and value. This custom, usually staged by beautiful flower arrangements, decadent food, and elegant clothing, makes it absurdly difficult for to-be-wed couples to limit their number of guests as they tend to give every single person they look up to a role in their weddings â the beginning of another chapter in their lives.
By standard, Christian weddings follow the following order: the processional, hymn, greeting or opening prayer, Old Testament reading, Psalm, New Testament reading, Gospel, homily, vows and ring ceremony, the kiss, nuptial blessing, sign of peace, communion, Lordâs Prayer, blessing and dismissal of congregation, and recessional. Five elements not written above make Christian weddings in the Philippines distinct: the presence of ninongs (Filipino term for Godfather) and ninangs (Filipino term for Godmother), coin, candle, veil, and cord ceremonies.
The principal sponsors or the ninongs and ninangs as we call them here in the Philippines are more often than not the coupleâs aunts, uncles, and close family friends. They are chosen carefully as these figures are also expected to guide the couple in their married life. To show the coupleâs appreciation, they hand their ninangs tokens that go anywhere between flower brooches to semi-precious jewelry. Cufflinks and money clips are popular thank you gifts for ninongs in the Philippines.
The arrhae or coins represent both Christ and his apostles and the promise of the groom to take care of his wife materially. The priest or minister gives the groom the blessed arrhae who in turn hands it to his bride. The bride receives it by putting her hand above the groomâs then hands the arrhae back to him. The groom thereafter hands the arrhae to an acolyte.
The candle sponsors light the two candles standing beside the groom and bride. These sponsors are usually the coupleâs parents or very close friends. Lighting the candles symbolize Godâs presence in the coupleâs union. This rite takes place either before the ceremony or before the readings.
The veil sponsors approach the altar as soon as the priest rings the bell. Pinning the veil over the groom and brideâs shoulders symbolizes the groomâs promise to take care of his bride from their wedding day forward. A cord made out of satin rope, strung flowers, or linked coins put into a figure of eight and placed over the veil covering the couple symbolizes infinite unity. Until after the Communion or the Sign of Peace, the veil and cord encloses the couple.

So you’re getting married and deciding when to have your wedding. The “traditional” month of June is frequently a popular choice for a wedding but there may be other dates you may want to consider when choosing a wedding date. Although it may seem easy to just “pick a date” for getting married, you may want to take into consideration some special times and events that occur during the year before committing to a specific date.
Holidays
There are pros and cons with getting married on a holiday weekend. You have an extra day for celebrating (and/or recovery!) and getting married on a Sunday is usually less expensive than holding a Saturday wedding. However, you should take into consideration your guest list when getting married on a holiday weekend. Airfare, travel and hotel rates are usually higher on holiday weekends and flights may be very limited due to holiday traffic. Also, some families have standing plans or traditions on holiday weekends that they may not be willing to forego to attend a wedding.
Religious and Cultural Holidays
Be aware of religious and cultural holidays (yours and your guests) when deciding on a date for getting married. There may be restrictions imposed on you or your wedding guests as to whether you are allowed to get married during these times. You may also want to avoid getting married on holidays such as Valentine’s Day (because floral prices tend to rise during this holiday) or New Year’s Eve (when reception site prices rise due to the popularity of this holiday for parties). That is not to say you shouldn’t get married on a holiday if you have your heart set on a specific date. With proper planning, you may be able to find good deals and affordable prices for a holiday wedding.
Other Notable Holidays and Events
Mother’s Day – Make sure your mom(s) are okay with sharing your wedding on “their” day. Also, some of your guests may have a problem attending your wedding as they may have other family commitments for this day. But for the most part, you could use your wedding as an opportunity to honor your mother (as well as all other mothers) with a toast at your reception.
Father’s Day – The same thing could be said about this day for fathers as mentioned above for mothers.
Super Bowl – This event has become an obsession with many football fans. If you are getting married on the Saturday before the Sunday of Super Bowl, then it shouldn’t affect your guest list much (unless you live in Florida where the Super Bowl is held). But your diehard football fan guests may not be very happy about attending a wedding on Super Bowl Sunday. Avoid getting married on Super Bowl Sunday if you don’t want to deal with this issue.
Final Four/March Madness - Similar to the problems with getting married on Super Bowl Sunday, getting married during these prime basketball events will cause issues with your guests who are avid sports fans.
These are just some of the factors to consider when choosing a wedding date. There are other cultural beliefs you may want to consider when getting married (such as the Chinese believe that the number “8″ is especially lucky so choosing a date of 8/8 may be lucky for a wedding). Whatever date you choose, make sure it is significant for you and your mate as this will be a date you will remember forever!

I was just wondering what are the perks of being deployed with the Army National Guard and being married. And some peoples own personal positive and negative experiences of marrying before deployment or just opting for dating instead of marrying.

It’s the same story with the same fairy tale ending. Boy meets girl. Love. Kisses. Miss made Mrs. And everyone assumes that they’ll live happily ever after. But do they? If you don’t want your marriage to go wrong you should understand that contrary to popular belief, nothing goes right in marriage unless you are mentally prepared for life together. Pointers to help you.
Don’t waver between, “Should I?” or “Should I not?”
Entering into anything half-heartedly can end in disaster. If marriage is not what you want, do not be forced or cajoled into it. Being single has its own charm – the freedom it gives one is a wonderful lure. If marriage is something you do want, be sure that you feel drawn to your partner-to-be. Do not be pressurised into accepting someone you don’t have a liking for.
Avoid acting in a manner which says, “I’m easily available”.
Flirtatious behaviour and ways which clearly show that you are an easy catch do not add to your worth. It may tempt boys to have some fun with you but it will send you hurtling down in their estimation. The shy hard-to-get miss has far more appeal.
Be wary of Internet romance.
It starts as a bit of fun and ends with all fun drained out of your life. In cyberspace one is anonymous and nobody knows what the real truth is. So, don’t be dazzled with the novelty and charm of it, but look before you leap into cyberspace.
Talk over those cherished dreams of yours with your partner-to-be.
The girl’s right to a home of her own, to take up a job and related matters do not figure in marriage discussions among elders. It is for her, therefore, to tactfully find out her partner’s stand on matters that are important to her.
Fiona’s was an arranged match and, when George told her they’d be staying with his mother, she spoke out her mind saying, “But I need my own space. If you can’t give it to me, this marriage will be no fun and I’d rather opt out of it.” They talked this over with his mother and came up with a solution acceptable to both. With prickly matters like these agreed upon beforehand, the marriage stands to gain.
Seek knowledge, for it is a safe guide while ignorance can misguide.
A girl needs to be mentally prepared to take up her new role as wife, daughter-in-law and mother, but sad to say, she often is not. There are matters – personal, health-related and sexual – that the couple, especially the girl, would like advice on. But parents treat these matters as taboo. In that case, the couple should seek information from books and on-line material or go for counselling. Sound knowledge is the basis of a sound marriage.
Being prudish and refraining from talking about intimate concerns can hurt a marriage.
Certain questions like when to start a family and how big it should be, did not arise in the past but are inevitable now as present-day couples are driven by personal ambitions and pressures of work.
Being very specific about such matters can take a load off the mind.
Newly-wed Wendy was deeply distressed and when pressed for the reason, told her husband about her fear that kids may stand in the way of her higher studies. On being reassured that they’d think of children only after she had fulfilled all her ambitions, she was relieved. Such assurances are important, for thwarted desires can give rise to negative feelings in a marriage.
Your appearance and looks can send your man’s heart racing.
So, be graceful and dress decently. Look attractive and smart and, above all, maintain a trim figure even after marriage. Every man likes to show off his wife but a dowdy and badly-dressed woman is someone he’ll cringe from. Dressing revealingly, however, is a big no-no. Though men enjoy seeing skimpily dressed women, they don’t want their wives to dare and bare.
Remember the age-old saying “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach”.
It was grandma’s approach route. It has been tried out for years and has vintage flavour. Why not make it yours by learning to be a good cook?
A happy home can bind hearts together.
So, master the art of good housekeeping and make your home invitingly bright and warm. “I hate to go home because mine is a filthy place run by a scowling wife,” complains a husband as he walks away in disgust.
That should remind you that winning or losing a battle on the home front depends largely on how bright your home is and how vivacious you are.
Courtship time need not be all romance and moonshine but can be reality-check time.
It can be an opportunity for the couple to learn about each other’s strengths and weaknesses, loves and hates and anything else of importance. This will not only prepare them to adjust to each other’s ways but will also enable them to use their own strong points to offset the weak ones of the other and vice versa.
Seeing her fiance spending lavishly on her, Karen knew that he was a spendthrift and pointed out that this could be a hurdle in their marriage. “I’m frugal,” she told him,” and am adept at saving. So, let me handle the household finances after marriage while you do something you are good at, like choosing the gadgets and seeing to their upkeep.” Since it was courtship time, he readily agreed. As feelings are warm during this period, agreements are not hard to reach and small arrangements like this can help marriage click in a big way.
Know that lovers’ bliss has to end some day.
When this happens, flaws are detected, irritation surfaces and anger erupts. Every couple needs to be prepared to handle this stage and to do this, they must be well apprised of certain time-tested ways of interaction that can be helpful. Here are some:
Cultivate the I-for-you and you-for-me attitude from the very start.
Marriage is neither dominance nor servitude but a partnership. So, partners should learn to forget the egoistic ‘I’ for the self-effacing ‘we’, in their relationship. Jane hated to forego her early morning sleep and her husband came to her aid by finishing off all the early chores. This pleased her so much that she readily overlooked the way he threw about his things untidily, and tidied up for him. Such a give-and-take attitude can lessen friction in marriage.
Learn to handle your partner’s ego with care.
Marital relations deteriorate when egos are hurt. Egos need to be cherished with appreciation rather than be crushed by constant fault-finding. During courtship, appreciation is unstinted and everything is rosy. Couples should remember this and they should be firmly committed to putting into marriage what made life so great for them before.
Let’s face facts. “My wife is a great cook and the dishes she cooks are always great!” brags Dennis to his friends – but he never tells her’ so. “My husband has a nasty temper but is very helpful around the house,” admits wife to everyone else except her husband.
This failure to give due credit to each other builds up resentment in both. Each day offers so many opportunities to every couple to say heart-warming words to each other. If you say them as you readily, did during your courtship, much that goes wrong in marriage can be set right.
This is because appreciation is a great mood-enhancer and a healer of emotional hurts. It can be the vitamin A that keeps your marriage in good health.
Add spice to your married life with some romantic moments.
When two heads come together with antagonism they will soon be at loggerheads, but romance has that magical ability to drive away unkind feelings from the mind. A few quiet moments together, a short walk in the moonlight, a soft touch, a lingering caress, a silent locking of the eyes, sweet nothings whispered into eager ears, do not take time but they make you forget hurts and keep hearts locked in love’s embrace. So, give this magic of love a chance to keep things straight.
Learn to fight the right way.
Fighting is an inbuilt danger to marriage but it need not be an evil that destroys it. I once heard a lawyer and his wife fighting so violently that they could be heard all over the place. Minutes later, they were walking arm in arm to their car. That’s how fights should be: just a release for pent-up feelings and forgotten in a flash.
Not dragging yesterday’s faults of omission and commission into today’s quarrel is important, for that would be nagging which really hurts and wounds. Nobody wants to lose an argument, so a little give and take or meeting your partner half-way is a great idea.
Marriage, as all will agree, is a 24 X 7 commitment, highly taxing and very demanding with no holidays allowed and no breaks permitted. Such a trying relationship will not flourish on its own.
Strange to say, so much time, attention and money are spent on the wedding, which is a one-day affair, while no thought is given to preparing the couple for marriage, which is an exacting life-long involvement.
With a little prior guidance and direction, a couple can be emotionally prepared and mentally conditioned to adjust and attuned to each other’s needs in living together. When that is done, much that can go wrong in a marriage begins to go right.
