i just talked to him and he says he can work from home.
yes some men do need wife....sometimes because they can't cope with children alone, sometimes they just want a companion.
i've hardly seen any man who didn't get married after the death of his first wife.
I have seen women also who got married after their spouse's death.
lol commit suicide!!! never seen anyone committing suicide for their wife/husband
even i have never seen anyone committing suicide for their husband/wife :D
i guess the case with most of the people is that,they grieve for sometime and then move on with life..and i believe,most of the guys end up marrying again…

**2- Will live but an empty life, will never marry again
**but i would want him to get married after my death…theres no point of him wasting his life.
p.s…Sohail i am not dying anytime soon 
Re: If you Die
^you got to test him
How do you think your spouse will react:
1- Commit suicide
2- Will live but an empty life, will never marry again
3- Greive for sometime and them move on with life
4- Worry about how to feed the family
5- Good riddance
I cant predict how, it would depend on many factors. If i put myself in her shoes and if something happened to her, would it mean that I would never like anyone again, would it mean that I live a life alone? I dunno..I doubt that I will find someone like a year later but I suppose eventually I would, also depends on ow old I am. If I am very old then probably not, if in 40s and even 50s, the possibility can be there.
She used to say she will not be able to live without me, but I think those are words, with respinsibilities of kids, if I was gto be hit by a beer truck tomorrow, i doubt she will kill herself. She is stronger and more rational than that.
I would want her to do what makes her happy and allows her to live a happy life. if that is alone, thats okay, if that is with someone else that is okay. She would not have to do it for financial security because that aspect is taken care of.
Re: If you Die
If I die, now, like tomorrow, I think my hubby will try to manage alone. He will be extremely concerned about the kids and their grief and will probably ask his mom to come live with him. But eventually, he may feel pressured into marrying again...he's young.
But whatever it is, he will make the best decision for the kids and himself.
If something were to happen to him, I'll of course work and have my mom-in-law come stay with me. And my parents can come stay when possible. But re-marry. NEVER.
I think it would be number 2.
citrine - i dont know where you reside - but there is a children tv presenter (well was) and his fiance died from drugs. He couldnt handle his life without him and killed himself so i do believe that this happens!
Mark Speight! Hug himself via his shoe laces. A very talented artist he was.
You forgot to mention that Mark Speight was arrested for the murder of his wife and then released. He was also charged for supplying overdose of drugs to his wife that caused her death. I agee with the poster who said it doesn't happen that often. Cases like Mark's is an exceptional one and had more to do with guilt than anything else.
mark speightttttttttttttttttttttttttt 
him and kirsten were soo good
i miss smart

My grandfather was 50 when his first (and the only) wife died. In spite of people insisting him to remarry, he spent the rest of the 24 years of his life alone after his wife's death because they had promised each other that if one of them would die, the other wouldn't get married.

I don't want to be too morbid but you can put no. 6:
6- Dance on their grave
I think it would b No 2
*Will live but an empty life, will never marry again
Wow I'm surprised about the responses....I would want my hubby to go through the grieving process and then move on and remarry. It would make me sad that he would deprive himself of companionship we all require for the remainder of his life.
Re: If you Die
It'll always be 3,4, and 5.
Re: If you Die
I would rather refrain from giving any comments if (Allah Forbid) I face such a situation, because we humans tend to make great claims in comfortable times, but when we are tested only then the true worth of a person can be seen. (May Allah protect us from such TESTS of life, but if HE plans anything like that for us, then He may bless us with the wisdom and strength to make the right decision).
About my wife, I wish that she marry as soon as I die, if it is better for her ( After passing the specific time Islam has ordered her). I don't say this in front of her because I know she doesn't like to talk on this topic.
lol commit suicide!!! never seen anyone committing suicide for their wife/husband
Its nothing funny... i have seen this happen lots of times, even once in my family.
