Glamour.com readers weighed in on what marriage trends were a do and which were a don’t. We agree with almost all of them. Let us know what you think!

• Walking down the aisle pregnant: It's a Don't, say 71%.

Are You Breaking The Law?

Did you know that the U.S. has more laws regulating sexual behavior than all the European countries combined? Here are some interesting facts from Sexpert Yvonne K. Fulbright of Fox News that you may not have known:

• Sex toys are banned in some states like Alabama
• Intercourse between unmarried couples is illegal in Georgia
• Flirting is banned in San Antonio, Texas
• Oral sex is banned in Indiana
• Sexual positions beyond missionary are illegal in Washington, D.C.
• Sleeping naked is illegal in Minnesota
• You’re not allowed to engage in any type of public display of affection for more than 18 minutes in Idaho
• In Iowa, you've got a five-minute time limit to make out
• It’s illegal to smooch for more than one second if you’re in Halethorpe, Md.
• Women in Dyersburg, Tenn., cannot call a man for a date

There are many other strange laws of past and present (check them out here), but I feel that what we choose to do as adults in the privacy in our own homes is our business! So, are you one of the warm and fuzzy most wanted? A premarital perpetrator? Consummating criminal? Book ‘em Romeo!

Naughty Nintendo?

Nintendo is apparently taking their gaming experience to the next level – with the introduction of a game featuring a stripper pole for the Wii. Peekaboo Pole Dancing, a company which makes kitschy, novelty stripper pole kits for use in the home (one of which is endorsed by Carmen Electra), wants to release the game. "While details are sketchy, the thought is likely that such a game would take advantage of the Wii Fit balance board, which arrives next month. You can imagine how such a "game" might work, with players tasked with balancing on the pole for certain lengths of time or in certain positions."

While it certainly won’t make adult gamers “experts” at pole dancing, this may be the new generation of, ahem, interactive couple’s activities.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on this—is a stripper pole game totally wrong or just good (not too) clean fun?

Moving in Together…

We’ve all been there – that phase in a relationship when it’s time to decide if we should move in with our significant other or not. If you’ve decided you’re not living together until marriage then this may not be as relevant. But, if you (like many of us) have decided to cross that bridge a little earlier in your relationship, you understand what I’m talking about.

AskMen.com breaks moving in together down into three separate components: the bad, the good and the avoidable. The following tips are also listed on how to make the most of moving in together.

• Make it your own place
• Don't reveal everything at once
• Respect each other's space
• Share the responsibility
  

Regardless of what you decide, make sure it’s something you’re both ready for, and all the pieces should fall into place. (After a few extensive discussions and heated debates about folded bathroom towels and toothpaste caps.)

Time to Play Dress-Up

Live out your wildest fantasy today in honor of National Nurses Day! It’s a great time to dress up and have some fun with your significant other. You can get a costume at any Halloween store or novelty shop, and accessories can be found at any pharmacy. The question is will you play Doctor and Nurse or Nurse and Patient? How much special attention will he need? Be sure to check your vitals thoroughly ‘cus your heart is bound to be racing!

Cinco De Mayo

What a perfect time to send the kids off to grandmas and celebrate with a romantic fiesta-for-two. Escape with your partner for a fun-filled night or weekend getaway! Most places have Cinco De Mayo-themed events and some even offer all-inclusive weekends sure to provide lots of fiery fun and Latin-inspired entertainment.

If you can’t afford to get away, bring the party to you! Get some chips and salsa and mix up some margaritas to share with your sweetie. You’ll be having fun in no time at all! Let loose, toast to the celebration, and make some (spicy) memories! Ole!

The Husband's Bill of Rights

While I understand that men aren’t asking for the world, “The Husband's Bill of Rights” on MSN.com is a nice example of what men claim they need to make their marriage a happy one:

• Amendment I
  We have the right to go out with our friends at least once a month.
  
• Amendment II
  We reserve the right to dislike your friend's husbands.
  
• Amendment III
  We have the right to have a few things of ours in the house.
  
• Amendment IV
  We have the right not to be scolded by you.
  
• Amendment V
  We have the right to teach our sons how to burp and fart.
  
• Amendment VI
  We have the right to teach our children how to defend themselves.
  
• Amendment VII
  We have the right to as much reading material in the bathroom as we need.
  
• Amendment VIII
  We have the right to watch the big game.
  
• Amendment IX
  We have the right to the remote when we're on the couch.
  
• Amendment X
  We have the right to still use chivalry.

I think I can work with this list. My only stipulation is that you have to share the remote sometimes, sorry boys! If you have a problem with any of these rules, we want to hear about it!
