I have already married someone with severe emotional baggage, ie, abandonment issues, etc. Well, I am not married anymore if that tells you anything. And he refused to address his problems, but used them as a way to get people to feel sorry for him. These kinds of issues, when not addressed cause major problems in a relationship. In short, I would NOT do it again.

Since this thread is quite silly anyway I have a question for the ladies....
Would you marry a man who wore such a horrible toupee that it looked like he was balancing a dead animal on top of his head?

NO!!! I do not like toupees or combovers. I can accept bald, but a man is what he is. I do think a full head of hair is very attractive, but once a man is partially bald, I would prefer he just shave his whole head. I think all bald is FAR more attractive than a Bozo the Clown look.

Would you marry someone with hypertrichosis? My genetics professor asked me that three years ago; I said no, but I was joking. :)

Would y'all marry someone with feet as large as Bozo the Clowns and a shiny red nose to go with the feet?
Yes, because I have fairly big feet for a female (8 1/2-9, usually on the 9 side), and I struggle with a ruddy complexion (thank you Scots-Irish-English heritage)..although Murad's redness therapy has done wonders for me, so I might let him try some of mine.
Actually, I dunno...the big feet I don't care...but I always said I wanted someone with a more olive/dark complexion, and no ruddiness (unless it's just lightly rosy cheeks)..because I didn't want our poor kids to get it from both sides.

Not mad, but just typing the word Eunuch sounds painful

I would marry a eunuch...depends on the kind of person he is, etc. That fact alone doesn't mean much to me.
BTW, typing "FGM" is painful for me. :o)

would you marry someone whom you argued lots with?
I wouldn't even date them. Discussing differences of opinions are fine and good. Arguing over what usually are nitpicky things are not. The occasional arguement - that's to be expected. All the time? No way.

Would you marry a man/woman who is in church every time the church door opens, serves in various ministries, but when it's just the two of you, s/he won't engage you in any discussion about his faith, won't pray with you, won't study the bible with you?
I'm going to break this down into three questions, each with its own answer.
No, I most likely would not marry a man who is in church every time the doors are opened.
Neither would I be likely to marry a man who serves in too many ministries (if "various" is a few or a manageable amount, then my answer would change, depending on the man).
And no, I would not marry a man who wouldn't have private faith discussions or Bible studies with me.

would you marry someone who was EXTREMELY frugal? Like, beyond the norm of frugal? Bordering on cheap? No. There is a big difference between being frugal and being cheap. Frugal is ok. Being cheap isn't.

I am not talking something extreme like the nazi party but if you are a democrat would you marry a republican? If you are a republican would you marry a green party fan? If you are in the green party would you marry someone from the prohibition party? If you are a conservative, would you marry a liberal? If you are a liberal would you marry someone who enjoys Rush Limbaugh every day?
I am not black-and-white politically, so it would depend on where they stood with specific issues.
quote:
ORIGINAL: benelchi
It really is possible to get to know and befriend those who are liberals while vehemently disagreeing with what the support and believe in. While I believe these difference will be an obstacle to developing deep friendships, I do not see these issues as things that should prevent someone from associating with others; I actually see that idea as unbiblical. One can really associate with people who hold drastically different outlooks on life without compromising their own values. It may limit what activities can be shared and the depth of the friendship that is formed, but it is through association with others that we are best able to share our faith with those around us. When we see in those around us the same value God sees in them, and demonstrate our love for those around us as God does we can really impact a persons life for the kingdom of God; however, when we treat the ungodly as "lepers" and demonstrate disdain for them, the will see a distorted puture of who God is in our life.
PS. There really are conservatives who live lives that are far more ungodly than many liberals; conservatism doesn't define godliness, God's word does.
Absolutely awesome, awesome post, Benelchi.

Would you marry an arrogant person if their other qualities such as giving to others, serving the Lord, etc were wonderful?
That seems contradictory, joy. I don't see how a truly arrogant person could have qualities of serving the Lord that were wonderful. If they are arrogant they are serving themselves. They may be going through the motions of doing things that appear on the surface to be serving the Lord, but serving the Lord requires humility.
I agree, Mac.
And no, I absolutely would not marry an arrogant person.

I see what you mean.......maybe arrogant isn't the right word........I know a wonderful man, who reflects the Lord's heart in so many areas of his life, yet because he is very black and white on certain issues tends to be closed minded, having decided he is right about an issue, and refuses to consider another view point.........I tend to think on these issues he is arrogant.........is there another word which would work better? I don't think so; not from what you've described above. Arrogant is a very apt description of such a person.

When it comes to someone who is different politically (since I started that question I guess I should answer it) I would date and might marry someone who is different politically but we would still have to have similar enough values. I can see why someone would want to marry a person who is close to them politically because often one's values correspond with their politics.
I don't agree with those who seem to say that if someone is mistaken (even if they are mistaken because of foolish/sinful reasons) in something like politics that they are automatically someone to be treated with disdain. I am a conservative but I know I am often hold wrong and even sinful attitudes. I have realized over the years how wrong I have been on many important issues. I am not excusing sinful worldviews but I don't think that someone should be treated terribly just because they see things differently in politics. Paul even talks about believers who think that eating meat sacrificed to idols is wrong and he talks to those who belief differently. He tells both groups to get along. He spends more time talking about how they should treat each other with respect than telling them how they should belief on this issue. I do think that opinions and beliefs and worldviews are important and that we should strive to have the wisest view on things such as politics. But I don't think that liberals in general are anything like the religous people in Jesus' day who selfishly turned people away from God. I am not saying you have to marry them. I believe many people are severly mistaken in their political views but I don't think they are that bad and should be treated as worse Chrisitans.

Christmas is a huge holiday, full of fun traditions, for you would you marry someone who was just not that into Christmas
Yes, i would. I used to be so into Christmas, but the older I get, I prefer a solemn celebration of Christmas. If it wasn't for my kid, I'd prefer to be alone and really reflect on the meaning of Christ birth during Christmas time, rather than what it has become.
I'm curious why you would want to " solemnly " celebrate the single greatest birthday in the history of the world?
Isn't the question about whether one celebrates Christmas or not, not how one chooses to celebrate. For me, the word "solemn" has an awe inspiring meaning. It's more sublime, more meaningful. Though I wouldn't judge how one celebrates, I think as soon as they recognize that the birth of Christ is the single greatest event to ever happen in the world, I wouldn't care how they celebrate.
Very well said, PrairieHiker

And since I'm probably spamming the thread now, I'll cool it with my posts for a while.

OK so your using solemn to define a quiet reflective celebration which is fine since a secondary definition of the word is a quiet celebration:
sol⋅emn
/ˈsɒləm/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [sol-uhm] Show IPA Pronunciation
–adjective
1. grave, sober, or mirthless, as a person, the face, speech, tone, or mood: solemn remarks.
2. gravely or somberly impressive; causing serious thoughts or a grave mood: solemn music.
I have always personally used the word more to define ones mood while attending a funeral.
