Inbreeding is breeding between close relatives.\n\nIf practiced repeatedly, it typically leads to a reduction in genetic diversity. Inbreeding often leads to reduced health and fitness (called consanguinity depression, inbreeding depression); however, livestock breeders often practice inbreeding, then cull unfit offspring, especially when they are trying to establish a new and desirable trait in their stock.\n\nAn inbred individual is likely to possess several physical and health defects, in addition to higher incidence of inheriting a poor trait. They include:\n\nreduced fertility both in litter size and in sperm viability \nincreased congenital disorders \nfluctuating facial asymmetry \nlower birth rate \nhigher infant mortality \nslower growth rate \nsmaller adult size \nloss of immune system function.

I am LDS, but this is just my opinion from my observations. \n\nThere are still many LDS families that live close to their parents and other extended family members. We are very family oriented. \n\nHowever, we live in a global society, have a global church, and therefore have members everywhere, many of them do not live near family. It seems that despite distances, many LDS families mantain very good relationships with their parents and families. They often hold regular family reunions and get togethers.\n\nI have lived overseas for the last 12 years and yet have seen my family and my wife's on a regular basis.

Well after you get married what are they going ot do, refuse to like him still? Do what you wan't and marry who you love. This might be more of a case where you should look at your relationship with your folks and why would they not wan't you to marry the one you love.

I understand your dilemma; however I thinks cultural differences are good for a marriage.  I am African American and my husband is of Yemen descent.  He was raised in Tanzania.  I think he has chosen to follow his heart and look at people for people.  We sit and create our own world and not let family, culture or society dictate the love we have for one another.  I love him with all my heart and despite the approval of my mother and sister, because of his Arab background.  He stands by me and I will for him. If you stop looking at her as a Hungarian and start looking at her as the women Allah gave you; then everything will work itself out.

Outside weddings. Me and my wife got married beside a river on some property my parents own. It was great and it was free, except for the Pastor. Plus then if you have people you don't want to invite but feel it is necessary to invite them, maybe they won't come because it is outside and they won't want to have to sit out in the sun. Worked on my grandma, she's crazy.

yeah! i mean, why not? it's just the color of skin. everybody has different family life, different, backgrounds etc., so whats the difference if they are white/black/asian/isrish/etc? i think it's awesome when 2 people of different colors get married cause it's breaking the barrier that makes it so people have to ask if its ok or not. so yeah, i mean why not?

I honestly don't understand what the big deal is!  Men and women get married to procreate, or that is what marriage was originally created for.  So, why is it SO important for gays to marry?  They can't procreate.  Do they really need a special piece of paper to commit eternally to each other?  I really can't understand why it is SUCH A BIG DEAL!!  I say let's abolish marriage all together, then everyone can be happy.  50 - 60% of marriages don't last any more, so why bother?   WHAT IS THE BIG DAMN DEAL????

I think it is good to see people commit to a marriage, it really doesn't matter what race or color. When it comes down to it, we all came from the same place-right? If you are really in live with your mate, then marriage is honorable. After all, you won't be spending the rest of your life with dear old mom and dad, so you've got to follow your heart on this issue.

I have never supported the idea of arranged marriages for the simple reason whose life is it to live? Part of being human is to make our own decisions and take the good or bad results of these. Your parents are living their lives, maybe they should let you live yours and forget about the cultural stuff. If you live in this society, you have an obligation to live as we do.

Yeah yeah everyone says married and very few of them were married when they first did it. Go with your heart and brain dear. Its different for every couple. The best time is when you are both comfortable with yourselves and each other on an adult level.

I think because more people base there lifes off religion and there for want to find a partner that is of the same religion as themselfs. Now take me for instants I personaly choose Love over Religion but my Husband is understanding of my religion ... not fully excepted but understood. And so there for it makes it hard on Holidays and stuff like that , That i want to participate in and he dont. So my advice to u is to choose someone of the same religion but dont make it all u consintrate on!

To an extent, yes, when you marry somebody, you also marry their family....holidays, birthdays, get togethers of any kind bring the entire family together...for better, or worse! The only GOOD thing is after the occasion, you can go home and leave them.

There are many reasons why some couples prefer marriage as opposed to just living together, probably the main reason is the ingrained religious idea that living together without marriage is 'living in sin' and any off spring are considered to be 'bastards' (born out of wedlock)!\nThese outmoded religious ideas are now 'going out of the window' along with superstitious religious thoughts and beliefs. A couple living together have exactly the same legal rights as any married couple.\n'Bastard' no longer has the same stigma as it used to have(who really cares if your friends parents were married or not)!\nTimes are rapidly changing, and for the better as far as I am concerned.

I think legal marriage is just a peice of paper. Being married is really in your heart.  whats stopping you from throwing a big party, exchanging vows and rings accompanied by your family and close friends? i believe there are churches geared toward the gay and lesbian community that can give you guidance. Either way. congratulations on finding that special someone in your life.

I am in your shoes as i type, I am married to a island man, and it was love at first sight, but I will be honest with you, you are going to miss your family like hell! I have no family where I am residing now, but once love is in the air that's all the matters.  I am very family orientated myself, my husband is not!  If you can get him to move where you are at good for you, but if not you just have to follow your heart like i did! Take care! IF YOU WANT TO TALK YOU CAN EMAIL ME SPORTINTAHOE07@YAHOO.COM

The only reason I can think of is that they love the person so much that they cant imagine living without them. Marriage isn't for the faint hearted it requires open communication, commitment and flexibility. To share your life with someone, accepting their faults as well as their good traits, to be committed to making their life as full of love and happiness as you can so that in return they will do the same for you isn't always easy but the reward of being with that someone special is awesome....
