Take a 10-30 minutes walk every day. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Sleep for 7 hours. Live with the 3 E’s — Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy. Play more games. Read more books than you did the previous year. Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6. Dream more while you are awake. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants. Drink plenty of water. Smile and laugh more. Don’t waste your precious energy or time on gossip. Forget issues of the past. They’ll just ruin your present happiness. Don’t have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone, so don’t even try. Don’t take yourself so seriously. You don’t have to win every argument. Just agree to disagree. Make peace with your past so it won’t spoil the present. Don’t compare your life to others’. You have no idea what their journey is all about. Don’t compare your partner with others either. What other people think of you is none of your business. No one is in charge of your happiness except you. However good or bad a situation is, it will change. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up. Call your family often. Your inner most is always happy. So be happy. Each day give something good to others.

There are no rules. Some families have traditional practices.Most Americans have 3 names:First - anything the parents like. Sometimes they use the name of a beloved relative or friend. Some groups will not name children after someone still alive, others will. This government agency tracks baby names, just for fun: Popular Baby Names You can see that some names remain popular, others come and go.Middle - also anything the parents like. It;s not unusual to use the mother’s maiden name, ie, her family name before marriageLast/family - Traditionally this has been the father’s family name. Now, some people used hyphenated family names with both the father’s and mother’s family namesThere is no law that says that you have to have a middle name, or that you can’t have more than 3 names. But some forms will be hard to fill out.If a child gets exactly the same name as his father, the child’s name gets an addition, eg, John Harry Smith, jr jr for Junior. Dad would then become John Harry Smith, Sr (senior). A grandchild might be John Harry Smith III.

I am assuming that you are a foreigner.Yes, a foreign man living legally in Japan can get married to a Japanese woman. You must get from your embassy or consulate affidavits signNowing that you are legally free to marry. The affidavit is sometimes referred to as a Certificate of Eligibility to Marry (konin yoken gubi shomeisho; 婚姻要件具備証明書). Some embassies have versions in Japanese and some do not. You may need to get a certified translation of the document.The next thing that is necessary is a copy of both people’s Registry of Current Residence (jūminhyō: 住民票). This can be gotten, for a few hundred yen, at the municipal office where the person is registered.The next step is to fill out the Application / Notification of Marriage (konin-todoke; 婚姻届). You can get this at the same municipal office at which you get the Registry of Residence. You can fill out the form on the spot or take it home and do so at your leisure.With the filled out Marriage Application, the Registry of Residence, and the Certificate of Eligibility you are almost ready to do the deed. Go to the local municipal office and give the above papers to the person at the Citizen Affairs Office (shimin ka; 市民課). You will also need to hand over your Residence Card (Zairyu Card; 在留カード). You should also bring along your personal seal and, just to be on the safe side, your passports. A few minutes after handing all this over, the civil servant will come back and tell you that they are finished with the paperwork and you are now [legally] married. The entire process is without charge.Should you want some sort of paper saying that you are married you can ask for a certificate or declaration of marriage (Konin Todoke Juri Shomei-sho; 婚姻届受理証明書). This may cost a few hundred yen. I believe that some cities have started giving out, for a nominal fee, a fancier looking marriage certificate. This was not an option when and where I got married.Now the question remains as to whether the marriage in Japan is legally binding in your home country. This will depend on the treaties between the countries involved. This question is best answered by your embassy.Can you do the marriage thing in a city you do not live in? Perhaps, but you will need to get all the paperwork in order before you go to their municipal offices. You will probably have to fill out that city’s Application for Marriage.Good luck. Live Long and Prosper.

Years ago, I had two friends from New Zealand who got married in Sendai. At the time, neither of them lived in Sendai, but they had all the paperwork necessary. I don’t know if this is still possible.Good luck. Live Long and Prosper.

First, I would eliminate normal civil marriage. We need to start everyone out on a level playing field. I would eliminate a lot of the federal benefits of marriage; there is no reason why that one lifestyle should be privileged over others.Then, I would take the most important marriage rights; medical power of attorney, financial power of attorney, inheritance, hospital visits, financial sharing, benefits beneficiaries, etc., and list them on a long piece of paper with check boxes. People who want to get "married" could go to a clerk and fill out the boxes with the rights they want to designate to that person. They would be able to fill out multiple boxes for multiple people; for those rights that could come into conflict (like power of attorney), the form with the most recent date would overrule others if the bearers disagreed on something. Forms could also be voided at the grantee's discretion. Children should be handled completely separately from marriage. Biological parents (who are on the birth certificate) already have certain established rights and I think that works well. I think that the biological parents should also be able to designate secondary custodians (similar to how grandparents have certain rights with regards to their grandchildren in some states) as they choose; it would take both parents to grant such rights, but they should not be able to revoke them without proving the association is harmful to the children.

I'm getting married in August and I did not realize the process was so arduous.I was raised Catholic but have not practiced for about a decade. I wanted to have a Catholic wedding because my parents are Catholic and I think they'd appreciate it.I live in San Francisco and the wedding is in Cleveland. We contacted a priest in Cleveland to preside over the ceremony, and he mentioned that we needed to get permission from our church in San Francisco. Here's the checklist the church in San Francisco sent our way [1], and my interpretation of what we need to do to have a wedding recognized by the Catholic church.1) We need my "home church", in the Archdiocese of San Francisco, to give me permission to get married in the Archdiocese of Cleveland. To grant me that permission, the Archdiocese of San Francisco requires:Baptismal recordsFreedom to Marry (Form A)Witness to the Freedom to Marry (Form B)In the presence of a priest or deacon, I have to reaffirm my faith in Jesus Christ and promises to live that faith in the Catholic Church and do all in my power to raise the children Catholic.I need to attend an Engaged Encounter Weekend, Saturday For the Engaged or a parish marriage preparation program (this appears to be their approach to the Pre-Cana [2] course). Note that the Saturday encounter will cost us $200.Additionally, because my fiancé is not Catholic, they also require:A dispensation from the Archbishop in San Francisco to marry a non-baptized person (Disparity of Cult)Specific to the Archdiocese of San Francisco, I believe, is an exam and counseling session devoted to communication for the couples:FOCCUS premarital inventoryFOCCUS(c) follow-up session2) At the rehearsal:Marriage license3) At the wedding:Wedding rings[1] http://www.oldsaintmarys.org/htm...[2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre...

Ledyard, NY town clerk Rose Marie BelfortiThe civil disobedience perspective presented by Quora member Colin Jensen is interesting.  This was an important public issue with the underground railroad for escaped slaves prior to the Emancipation Proclamation.  Syracuse, New York where I grew up was a major way station for many escaped slaves, and many Syracusans refused to participate in the return of slaves, even after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled clearly mandating such returns.  Typically in these type cases, defendants get the best lawyer they and any supporters can afford, and do their best to minimize the legal consequences, and publicly expose the law's injustice.For myself, if this was her motivation I applaud her activist spirit, if not the values that prompted her action.  In the details of the actual case involved here,  Rose Marie Belforti, the Ledyard, NY town clerk is an elected official in a rural county who cited her religious objection to issuing the license to a lesbian couple.  An opportunity was provided to come back and obtain a marriage license with an assistant's signature at a later time, and the town and Ms. Belforti have since passed the duty of issuing the licenses on to this assistant.  One of the couple was a lawyer and they were sufficiently offended that they threatened to sue the town if the elected clerk in question did not personally issue the marriage license. (http://www.syracuse.com/news/ind...)Katie Carmichael (left) and Deirdre DiBiaggio tried last month to obtain a marriage license from a town clerk in Cayuga CountyFrom  the limited information I have, it seems quite possible that the clerk Belforti (incorrectly) believed she had the right to not personally issue the because of her religious beliefs.  While this is something the New York courts will need to sort out, I do not believe pure motivations, ignorance of her legal duties, or performing acts of civil disobedience obviates one from civil or criminal consequences.  Regarding the details of Ms. Belforti's moral culpability, I must defer here to an insightful letter to the editor written by Adam Kimball to the main morning regional paper, the Syracuse (NY) Post Standard.  Mr. Kimball writes, "Since Belforti claims the Bible as the source of her objection to gay marriage, she must surely be aware that the Bible also calls the marriage of previously divorced people adultery and an “abomination.” If she has refused such a license, then her consistency is to be respected, but it would seem to me that she, along with the other dissenting clerks, are cherry-picking their commandments and claiming religious objections to justify their own personal prejudices."  (http://www.syracuse.com/news/ind...)I don't share Mr. Kimball's conclusion that clerk Belforti is necessarily duplicitous if she had earlier issued marriage licenses to previously divorced individuals, as internal inconsistencies are commonplace among we humans.  I do think that now that this has been pointed out that she would have some moral accounting to do with both the public and herself.
