Here, women propose marriage and men can't refuse
He was 14 when the girl entered his hut and placed a plate in front of him. Carvadju Jose Nananghe knew what it meant. Refusing was not an option. He lifted the fish to his lips, agreeing in one bite to marry the girl. In this group of 50 islands, it's women who choose. They make their proposals by offering a dish of fish - equivalent of a man bending on one knee and offering a woman a diamond ring. To have refused would have dishonored his family - and in any case, why would he want to choose his own wife? "Love comes first into the heart of the woman. Once it's in the woman, only then can it jump into the man."

Spies are romantic figures: what's it like to be married to spy?
I was 21 and Charles and I had just got engaged. My father was in the Foreign Office... one night he said, "Have you ever wondered what I do?" I said, "I know what you do." And he said, "Well, not exactly. Actually, I'm in the secret service." I was very surprised, but asked if Charles was in the secret service too as he was often at our house talking with my father. He said yes. ... I said, "Well, I think Charles might have told me. It's a bit mean to ask a girl to marry you without telling her what your job is." My father said, "This is something we don't talk about. And the work we do gets no overt reward..." I just thought, "Woo-hoo, I'm going to be a spy's wife."

Cheat on your spouse in Michigan and spend life in prison
Spouses caught cheating in Michigan could end up spending the rest of their life in prison. And not the emotional kind.

"Technically, any time a person engages in sexual penetration in an adulterous relationship, he or she is guilty of CSC I," the most serious sexual assault charge.

Men, Women Attracted to Sense of Humor in Different Ways

His work is part of a research on humor - exploring how subtle courtship cues revealed through humor can foster love. Many men agree that women who appreciate their humor are the ones they're attracted to. "Male egos are delicate; if she laughs it makes it a lot more comfortable."
