Marriage

OK so totally random topic for me to talk about but it was what we were learning about in class and i found it very interesting!

why do most people that do not have some kind of religious reasons get married?

marriage is the only legally binding agreement that has to be entered into and exited from through the government. Think about it! In order to get married or to get divorced you have to go through the government. why? why does the government view marriage as such a huge thing?? because it is?

although i don't understand why people living of the world get married today? usually they are already living together, alot of times they have bank accounts together and share the bills, sometimes they have kids together so what is a good reason to get married? they are already in a marriageish relationship without the legal commitment of marriage?

it was very interesting for me to hear my class and my teachers view on marriage and what marriage is. Of course the teacher basically went with the books definition but she also added some of her own thoughts to it! she used to be a marriage counselor.

The Definition my teacher and the book give for marriage is an emotional and legal commitment of 2 people who share emotional and physical intimacy, various tasks, and economic resources.

Here are some advantages according to my teacher on marriage:

• Live Longer
• Healthier life style
• greater happiness
• more satisfying sex life
• career advantages
• and accumulate wealth

78% of people get married, 84% of Christians get married

50% percent of first marriages, 67% of second and 74% of third marriages end in divorce

and by the way the statistics on christian divorces are about the same crazy!!!

For Nina!!

Why did God create Eve?

OK so i know that she wrote this because she thinks that i am being stubborn and i found it really funny that she asked this! i love you Nina!

Genesis 2:
18 The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." 19 Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found. 21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
23 The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman,' for she was taken out of man." 24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. 25 The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.

So I would say that pretty much covers it! Nina i know! :)

So here is another thing i found that i thought was funny so i thought i should post this too!!

Top 10 Reasons Eve Was Created
10. God was worried that Adam would frequently become lost in the garden because he would not ask for directions.
9. God knew that one day Adam would require someone to locate and hand him the remote.
8. God knew Adam wold never go out and buy himself a new fig leaf when his wore out and would therefore need Eve to buy one for him.
7. God knew Adam would never be able to make a doctor's, dentist, or haircut appointment for himself.
6. God knew Adam would never remember which night to put the garbage on the curb.
5. God knew if the world was to be populated, men would never be able to handle the pain and discomfort of childbearing.
4. As the Keeper of the Garden, Adam would never remember where he left his tools.
3. Apparently, Adam needed someone to blame his troubles on when God caught him hiding in the garden.
2. As the Bible says, It is not good for man to be alone!
And the # 1 reason why God created Eve...
1. When God finished the creation of Adam, He stepped back, scratched his head and said, "I can do better than that."

Assassination vs. Murder

I have been wondering for a while what's the difference between Assassination and murder
Usually you hear assassination associated with politiacal leaders and things like that but sometimes i hear it about random people to so what's the difference?

Murder according to the dictionary: to kill (a human being) unlawfully and with premeditated malice

Assassination according to the dictionary: to injure or destroy unexpectedly and treacherously; to murder (a usually prominent person) by sudden or secret attack often for political reasons

Oxford English Dictionary says assassination is:
The action of assassinating; the taking the life of any one by treacherous violence, esp. by a hired emissary, or one who has taken upon him to execute the deed

So Assassination is murder but of someone usually in a public position but it can also be when someone is hired to kill someone else

basically that's it!

What makes your stomach growl??

Sera recently asked me this one and i have always wondered it and never knew so i thought hey I'll look it up!

borborygmi is the word for the sound that it makes which is an onomatopoeia (meaning the word sounds like what sound it makes) if you follow the link you can hear the pronunciation of the word!
http://www.merriam-webster.com/cgi-bin/audio.pl?borbor02.wav=borborygmi

It happens when your stomach walls squeeze together in an attempt to mix and digest food and there's no food there. Gases and digestive juices slosh around in your empty stomach and make this sound!
It doesn't only happen when you are hungry though. It is a normal part of digestion especially if your stomach is not digesting the food right! also a lot of times you do not feel it or hear it when your stomach has food it in!

Basically Your stomach is constantly digesting and if there is nothing in their to digest you hear the sound of it sloshing around the digestive juices and such to try and digest things!

Here are some links you can read more about this!
