Question 1

can we avoid mental retarded state of child born with cousin marriage?

Accepted Answer

Don't know: There are many causes of mental retardation, now called intellectual disability.  Genetics is one of these, but not the only one.  Genetic testing of the parents may be helpful, but we are not sure of all of the genes that contribute to this disorder.  Get a referral to a geneticist and go from there.  You may also want to contact AAIDD.

Question 8

how can i help  keep the spark alive in my marriage?

Accepted Answer

Communicate: Keeping the spark is can be a challenge for many.  Communicating, having fun, date nights, and therapy are all important.

Question 10

how can we have a marriage if sex is physically impossible?

Accepted Answer

Creatively: Intimacy doesn't have to be sexual.  And marriage does not have to mean penetrating intercourse.

The most important thing is to communicate.  Both of you, as a couple, will figure out how to be intimate.  Remember, fingertips and lips have as many (or more) nerve ending than genitals...

As the say, the mind is the most errogenous zone there is.
