Well,we both have different bases to start with cat

Where in your world ´West´,it is acceptable that you have a relationship without marriage with your partner,in mine´East´ it is not.

So in my world if there is no marriage there will be no relation ´intimate i mean´ between man and woman .

Ýts not valid for us and we dont accept it by all means.

The only relation we accept it between man and woman ´again i mean intimate ´ is formed in marriage.

Ým not discussing what should or what shouldnt,but what i am curious about is something else

What is the problem or let me say the difference between marriage and long relationship between 2 people ?

Ým talking about relation where you want to spend your life with your partner.

Ý met someone who was in a stable relationship  for 15 years and having children too

He left his lady and kids after that time because he felt he wasnt free spirited enough !and he didnt want to carry further responsibilities...!

SO,he just left her with their kids on their own!

But he visit them,that i must say ! ´grrr´

Ý agree it also can happen in marriage...

So what is the difference ?

To me,both of them are the same,only first one is documented and second is not

So if they are the same,then isnt it much secure for both parts to have a formal shape of their relation before establishing a life?

Ýn my opinion its their responsibility toward themselves and their children too if they are planing a serious long relationship.

What does registered to your father´s register or your husband´s register,or registered to her own house means ?

You mean what is written in her ÝD ,her address or what ?

•  Is there an ideal age for first marriage?

Before thinking about the ideal age for marriage,you should have thought about it as the only marriage,not the first one lol

My opinion,maybe 27 or something

• Is the growing trend of young people waiting longer to get married a good thing?

Ýf its by there choice,i dont see anything wrong with it.

• Average marriage age?

Depends

• Why single guys fear commitment?

Actually i think they fear responsibilities ,so maybe because they are not mature enough for it ?!

Others,will take long time to think and reply and im too sleepy for that lol

Ýyi geceler

There isn´t a best age to get married..... there is just the best person to marry.....the age you marry will never guarantee a happy and long marriage.....

some are lucky and marry "THE ONE", some won´t !

That´s the thing Canli, I don´t think there is much difference.... but maybe I will change my mind some day. I personally could not have a relationship that is somehow based on intimidation, force or fear... it would have to be a relationship that is based on mature commitment and responsibility, therefore, I don´t think that marriage is necessary. If I am married and my husband wants to leave and not take care of our children, I would not force him to stay - I don´t want to have a person like that in my life anyway. I don´t want his money or anything else... I cannot imagine not being independent financially and emotionally in my life, and that means that I do not want anybody in my life who does not bring me the things that a relationships should bring -- love, caring, respect... For a woman, it is more difficult and risky when there are children involved. That´s why every woman should not get married or have a child before she is financially independent and develops a career and independent personality of her own.

You have to know who you are and what you want before you can know what you need in a partner.....it doesn´t matter about age.

I heard the perfect quote yesterday - "Make sure you have your own life before you are someone else´s wife".

 Oh definitely 100% agree.  Please arrange to have this printed and posted on the walls of every school.....

 Let me explain...since we do not have a national number for each citizen, in order to keep track of who is who they have a register for each family. similar to "livret de famille" in france. In fact i believe we inherited everything from the french regime when lebanon was under mandate.

So, all kids are on their parents register, and once one of them is married he will have his own register with his/her partner.

So when a child is not married whether a boy or a girl, his/her name is on the parents register.

A house can be registered under the name of a person and not vice versa.and yes woman can own property in lebanon.

 We are somehow complicated in Lebanon

A register is like a record book. to keep track of who is who..like a geneological record.

it doesnt matter where you live in lebanon, your register  is in the town where you and your great grandfather are originally from...On our IDs they dont write the address but rather where one originally come from (town, city, village).

They used to write the religion on the ID !! not anymore thank god. 

omg!!! That is soooooooooooooooo perfect!!!!

Right now im whistling and clapping and i feel like im ata really good concert

Wow... thast sooo true!!!!

Thats exactly how everyone should think!!!!

and that is why we love you Doudi!!!
