IMDB rating: 6.90 Plot: One True Thing is a family drama revolving around a dying mother’s final months in the care of her daughter. Ellen Gulden’s father rebukes her for not caring enough about her mother to quit her job, move back home to Upstate New York, and leave her soulmate behind to fend for himself in their tidy New York apartment. But, when she succumbs under the strain of guilt and does as he asks, it appears that he is too busy to carry his part of the load. In fact, it begins to look like Ellen’s father is more concerned with who is going to keep his life running smoothly than who will tend to his poor wife as she struggles with cancer. George Gulden is a gifted professor and English department head, but he is an unrealized novelist. His novel, “Come Back Inn,” is still unfinished after many years of torturous self-editing and rewrites long after the advance he received from his publisher is spent. Still, he basks in the reflected glow of more famous and successful writers with whom he maintains tenuous ties. This realization humanizes him for Ellen who has always revered her father as something of a literary giant in spite of his occassional daliances with graduate students. Kate Gulden, dying of cancer at only 48, loves life, and loves her children and her husband. When her suffering finally ends from an overdose of morphine, the District Attorney suspects Ellen of having helped her mother to end her life. In the end, though, it seems to be Kate who still nurtures them, somehow even from the grave. |

Can i get a married to man that already have a child?
well me and boyfriend are planning 2 get married, but the thing is…him and his ex have a child together. And i’m a catholic, some people tells me that me and him can’t get marry because he have a child. and they consider that once you have a child with someone then you’re married, and you can’t marry anybody else unless that person passed away. is that true?
please i’m very desperate to know
I don’t know anything about religion, but if you’re okay with the fact that he has to keep in touch with his ex because of the kid, you’ll be okay.

No, it is not wrong. In fact, I don’t see anything wrong with it at all. If you two are happy, then you should get married.

mm well i know a woman who got married to a man with two kids in a catholic church and their mother wasnt dead…

Rubbish.
I get so tired of these denominations making up "rules" as time goes by.
Marry the man you love and love your new son. Remember you are NOT serving a religion and or denomination, but God. Don’t you think God intended for us to be happy and in love? Well if you answered yes never mind mans rules that lack common sense.
Best wishes

Catholicism, like any religion, has rules. However, I believe that the Creator has a plan that is good for everyone as long as it is good for the Universe.
I say that to state that if you love this individual and you are willing to accept his child and deal with the consequences, then it will be a blessing in the Creator’s will.
Good Luck.

Unless he is married to the mother, then he is technically free to marry whomever he pleases. But there are complications in any relationship where there are exes and children involved. Just make sure you go into it with your eye wide open, ok?

stop listening to what people say read up on your religion yourself get a understanding for yourself
ljjmjd3 | Nov 20, 2009
yea i think that’s a law now so you will have to find someone else to marry

My cousin told me never to marry a men with a child because the other woman will interfere with your life. She and her husband had plans to take their children on vacation and at the last minute the ex decided to send the child along on vacation too, So they had to cancel their trip and make other plans.

the thing i find most interesting about females and religion is they pick and choose what is wrong even though their religion states it clearly.
its okay to have pre-marital sex.
but once they find out they’re pregnant, suddenly they’re devoted to religion.
no-no my religion says i cannot do that.
if you choose to marry this man with the child just remember you will always be second.
the child to him is first.
and the ex may ocassionally foul up your plans when she drops off the child without warning.
if you can accept those terms then you’ll be okay in your marriage in what ever religion you choose.

Catholic rules used to be very strict…………..not so much now the church had to eventually move with the times even if just slightly. Now you can be married in a catholic church by a priest, as long as he wasn’t previously married and divorced, if he was then he has to apply for special permission to marry you in a catholic church but you sound fine. If you are worried go to the church and speak with your priest then you will be perfectly clear on it

If he got married in the Catholic church but has been granted an annulment, then it’s fine.
My husband, who I married earlier this year, used to be married until he and his wife divorced 10 years ago. We were married in a Catholic church. There was no problem with it at all, as far as the Church was concerned.

Some Christians believe that once you have sex with someone (marriage was much less formal in Biblical times and sex was meant to seal the marriage contract) that you’re married in God’s eyes and therefore that being with anyone else subsequently is adultery (unless your original "spouse" has died)…Personally, I don’t put a lot of stock in that belief or what the Catholic church has to say about sexual ethics in general…do you really plan to follow what they have to say in every aspect of your sexual life from here on out? That would mean no oral sex, no birth control, no non-procreative sex of any kind, no divorce for practically any reason…I really can’t imagine it myself. But if you really do want to live your life according to Catholic teaching, you may want to consult someone in authority about this specific issue (a priest maybe), someone who has the information you are seeking (I used to be Catholic but I’m no expert).
