This is for married people. I gots some questions?

Question

Okay so the other day me and my friend were talking and we got into asking questions like these to each other, if your married, can you answer some of these?
1.- If you are married to a man but you don't have any kids do you still get him a card for Father's Day?
2.- If you are pregnant and married do you get your husband a card for Father's Day?
3.- Why does everybody hate their mother-in-laws?
4.- why do you put the ring on the left hand if the person is right handed or even if they are left handed too?

Well that all and I am really puzzled over them, answers?

5.- Why is the weddding dress always white, what does it symbolize if it does symbolize anything?
6.- Why is the boquet thrown after the wedding?

7.- Does the ring always have to be a diamond or have the diamond as the main jewel?
8.- Does thr ring have to be real or is it okay to be labrotry made (obviously girls like real ones though lol)?

Answer 1

1) I didn't give him Father's Day cards when we didn't have kids. We have pets, but it wasn't something we did. He didn't get me Mother's Day cards from the pets, either.

2) No.

3) It's a stereotype, and I don't hate my mother-in-law. Nor does my husband hate my mother (that I'm aware of). There is some friction at times, because of family loyalty and perception of favoritism, whatever. Family dynamics are different in every family, so it's hard to pinpoint this one. I think some people really like to play their spouse and their mother against each other to get attention, though!

4) I think this was answered really well by another person above. :)

Answer 2

1.- If you are married to a man but you don't have any kids do you still get him a card for Father's Day?If your pets are your "kids"

2.- If you are pregnant and married do you get your husband a card for Father's Day? Yes I did and they had one for the father to be-really

3.- Why does everybody hate their mother-in-laws? She hated me 1st

4.- why do you put the ring on the left hand if the person is right handed or even if they are left handed too? because it was once believed that had a direct artery to the heart from that hand/finger

5.- Why is the weddding dress always white, what does it symbolize if it does symbolize anything? Purity and virginal at one time-now tradition

6.- Why is the boquet thrown after the wedding? hmm I don't know


7.- Does the ring always have to be a diamond or have the diamond as the main jewel? Da Beers(diamond mining co) was the first in the 30's and 40's to do the diamond thing. it was othres rings/stones before then. Purely, marketing and it worked and stuck as tradtion (blood diamond documentary)

8.- Does thr ring have to be real or is it okay to be labrotry made (obviously girls like real ones though lol)?
I think a girl wants a real one because it shows he cares to give you the real thing. Although if you are about flashy bling lab created can only be pegged by gemologist/jeweler

Answer 3

Here are my responses:

1. I don't get him a father's day card as he is not yet a parent.
2. I think I would get him a card at that point b/c technically he is a daddy
3. I don't hate my mother in law at all. I think she's great.
4. The whole idea behind putting the ring on the left hand/ring finger is b/c the left ring finger is supposed to have a blood flow that leads directly to the heart...which symbolizes the connection between the hearts of the two spouses, etc.
5. The wedding dress is not always white...I've seen people with red in the wedding dress, etc. I guess white is supposed to symbolize the bride's purity on that day, but more and more women are changing it up and adding other colors.
6. I don't know why the bouquet is thrown besides it being a long standing tradition.
7. The diamond doesn't always have to be the center. My rings have diamonds in them, but I also have two sapphires in my wedding ring, which makes it unique to me. There are a lot of beautiful rings out there that do not just focus on the diamond.
8. I personally would not have wanted a fake ring, b/c I want a ring that will last years and years to come, not one that will change colors and turn my skin different shades of green.

Answer 4

1. only if he has kids from a previous relationship - i.e. he's a father to someone.
2. I did - a card for father-to-be.
3. Not everyone does. It just seems that way. Some don't think the wife is "good enough" for their baby boy, or the husband for their baby girl. This will cause tension in any relationship!
4. The ring goes on the left hand because it was once believed that there was a direct connection between the ring finger of the left hand and the heart.
5. The white dress is a traditional symbol for purity or virginity. Nowadays, its just tradition.
6. I don't have an answer for this one.
7. The diamond is the strongest gemstone and is seen as a symbol for everlasting love because there are very few things that can destroy a diamond and there should be very few things to destroy your love. There is nothing saying another stone can't be the main stone.
8. That's something only you can decide.

Answer 5

1. If you are married and dont have kids you dont have to get your husband a Father's Day card. I've seen people get their husband one from the dog. However, that was just to be cute and get a laugh.
2. If you are pregnant you can get your spouse a Father's Day card. It is not required but just a sweet gesture.
3. Not everyone hates their mother-in-laws. I think it's typical because mothers have a hard time letting their sons go. They feel they know how to take care of their son, cook, clean, raise children and so on. They want to give their daughter-in-law advice or judge them. Most grown women, like it or not, do things like their own mother taught them.
4. Not too sure why its always the left hand.
5. The dress is white to symbol purity. Forever ago, women were virgins when they got married.
6. Flowers are thrown as a tradition. Who ever catches it is suppose to be the next bride.
7. The wedding ring does not have to have a diamond. Lots of rings use to be just a plain band. Over time, the diamond has just became the wedding symbol.
8. The diamond does not have to be real. Like I said before you dont even have to have a diamond. I'm sure most women would love to have a huge one. However, the ring isnt what is really important its the commitment and love that ties you together.

Answer 6

1.- No
2.-Yes
3.- Not everyone hates their mother in law. Some are lucky enough to have a great mother in law who treats them well and is kind a loving.

4.- The tradition is to put the wedding ring on the left hand no matter which hand the person uses.


5.- Traditionally, women wore white to symbolize virginity and purity

6.- According to legend, the woman who catches the bouquet is the next one to get married


7.- The ring should be in the stone of what the bride wants. Diamonds are the usual stone

8.- The ring should be real but one should buy only what one can afford.

Answer 7

Here ya go hunny I'm gonna make this quick and easy.

1. No you do not, unless you have a pet or something, you can do it to be silly. Or if he has any children from any women, then yes, it would be nice.

2. Yes, I would... you should also get some Mother's Day treatment!

3. I love my mother-in-law. But it's like made out in movies and tv that the mother in law is the ***** from hell, pardon my french. I think that is because the mother was always the woman of your man's life... now that you're married she has to step to the side.

4. You put the ring on the left-ring finger because it has always been believed that there is a vein/bloodline spanning from that finger to the heart

5. The wedding dress does not have to be white... but it is symbolic, it's supposed to show purity, way back when women were to be pure prior to marriage

6. The bouquet is thrown because in medieval Europe it started out with the wedding dress... a bride did not expect to wear her wedding dress again, and the dress was considered good luck for other women as a fertility charm. After the wedding, single women chased the bride and ripped pieces off her dress, leaving her in torn to shreds. But nowadays dresses have become more expensive, so instead of the dress, now women throw bouquets and keep the dress as a memory of the day.

7. No, it does not have to be a diamond, in fact most wedding bands do not have a diamond in them, usually the engagement ring does. Typically the bride and groom's wedding bands match. Mine was a bridal set, diamong on the engagement ring with diamond accents, diamond accents on the wedding band.

8. Sweetheart LOL, the ring does not HAVE to be real. Typically if you're in love a cracker jack ring would be appreciated by the right girl! But yes women do love jewelry... My ring is real but my set was unexpensive, because I wanted to save some money on the ring and put it towards something more important. The ring is a token of love and if the chick doesn't appreciate the man offering to spend his life with her... then she can go to hell.

Answer 8

1. No card if he's not a father.

2. If you're pregnant, it would be cute to give the soon-to-be- father a Father's Day card.

3. Not everyone hates their mothers-in-law, but often mothers are a bit jealous when a younger woman takes the number one place in her son's life, and she may cause problems for the daughter-in-law whether she means to or not. Also think of it this way: many people have enough trouble with their own parents. Imagine getting another whole set of parents who may interfere with your life and tell you how you ought to do things!

4. The ring finger has something to do with the ancient Egyptians believing that the third finger after the thumb has a blood vessel that leads directly to the heart.

I've been married for two years and don't have any parents-in-law because they have both passed away. But my mother has been married SEVERAL times and most of her in-laws have been terrific.

Answer 9

1.- If you are married to a man but you don't have any kids do you still get him a card for Father's Day? Of course not. Hes not a father...
2.- If you are pregnant and married do you get your husband a card for Father's Day? well.. that's kinda cute I guess.. maybe still future dad card?
3.- Why does everybody hate their mother-in-laws? Because they are usually not getting it and impsing where they shouldn't!

4.- why do you put the ring on the left hand if the person is right handed or even if they are left handed too?

Tradition. Except in some eastern European countries.... where the ring is placed on the right hand. and then... most peopel will switch it to the left.

what else ya got? (-:

Answer 10

You can get him a card for a childless father. They make them. If your pregnant, a card would be so cute for the daddy. Not everyone hates their mother-in-law. They do have a tendency to stick their noses in where they don't belong. It is traditional to use the left hand for the wedding ring. That way, everyone who sees the ring knows your married. The wedding dress is white if your a virgin. Throwing the bouquet is a traditional thing. It's supposed to mean the person who catches it will be the next person to get married. You don't have to have a diamond. I had a sapphire. The most important thing to remember is that you have chosen this person to spend the rest of their life with you. That is all that really matters. Love, honor, respect.

Answer 11

Me and my husband have been married for over a year and here is how I would answer your questions:

1. No, I have never gotten him a father's day card simply because he isn't a father.

2. Yes, I would get him a father's day card if I was pregnant. It would be a great way to start the tradition.

3. My husband doesn't hate my mom even though she can be nasty sometimes. It's wrong to hate. I'm not sure why other men tend to hate their mother-in-laws, maybe it's because they can sometimes be bossy and rude. *shrugs*

4. The ring being placed on the left hand is tradition. It doesn't matter which hand is your dominant hand.
