My parents are divorced too (separated since before I was born) and I think it had made me more independent. I don't rely on men or consider females the weaker gender.

U may have noticed I didn't use the word 'broken' , I said single parent home/ divorced home. That's one of the stereotypes pple lash out without knowing, not all single homes are necessarily broken'. If I think in dat line, well u can't really blame me cos its what I've learnt overtime. Hmm as to those that don't want to marry pple from single parent homes, well dats up to them.
My question for u, what exacvtly do u find bad about such line of thinking?

A single parent home is a function of many things agreed however broken has roots in the manner of the particular genesis

I like your open questioning nature and will answer you what i felt about ur thinking

Marriage by definition means that one has to submit his will or desires to that of the other.

The man makes decisions for the betterment of the family ditto the mother

There should be no 'I' or me in it
You sink or swim together

That's why the choice of a partner is really one of the most important decisions one can make

A woman more so must take care as she has to submit to the headship of her husband

So love but not love sounds weird to .me
But heck..its your opinion

I probably should have used brain or something in place of head. Not letting my "feelings" (for lack of a better word) overcloud my sense of reasoning or better put, not taking my heart on a journey without my brain. Better now?

Then u need to explain your own concept of independence

Of course having a job and a measure of financial independence is good n a given in modern days

So what do u mean by love but not crazy love

What do u mean by independence in a marriage

they never give a general perspective about this independence thing. Each to her own. being "independent" kills the idea of a "family" I think they need to come up wIth another term. Nice questions
