Hello,
Am straight boy not twins,From India, am getting married to a girl(of twins and i have chosen one girl out of identical twins).
I come across various questions, is there any health complication in future?
Am confused could you please throw some lights on this…
I do not have idea how it works, will i be able to cope with this girl? Because another girl(her twin sister) is getting married to another guy and he is no where related to me.i mean different family.
I heard that twin always talk to another twin rather than straights. Is that the case?
regards,
Kiran,

By “straight” do you mean “not a twin”? Because “straight” usually means “not gay”.
Anyway assuming that, there is not the slightest reason to think there are more health complications with twins than not twins. Can I ask what makes you think otherwise? What nature of health complication do you fear from this perfectly ordinary situation?

**Moderator Action**
While health issues for twins is a factual question, other parts of the OP are more of an advice and opinion nature. Overall the thread will do better in IMHO.
Moving thread from General Questions to In My Humble Opinion.

Am not gay. You are right am not a twin.
1. How about sexual life, is that normal??
2. Understanding relationship, i heard that there is some understanding gap between twin and non twin.
3. How about kids? like disability or twins ?

1. Of course. On what basis would you suspect otherwise?
2. Heard from a reliable source? If not, ignore it.
3. No reason to think they’d be more likely to be disabled. On what basis would you suspect otherwise?
Yes, more likely to have twins themselves though, there is a genetic component to that.

I think what the OP means by “straight” is birth of a single infant; i.e., most births - not twins, not triplets, not quadruplets, etc.

They aren’t _Siamese_ twins, are they? Because then I could understand a bit of concern. 😉
Otherwise, 😕

OMG what are you talking about? They’re normal regular people. They’re probably close and will talk to each other and get together more than siblings that aren’t as close. That’s not necessarily just a twin thing, that’s a siblings who are close thing. There might be a chance they will have twin children themselves, but if my own family with twins on both sides is any evidence, it’s not a given. I have three sets of twins in my family and neither they nor their own children have had any twins.
Twins are not some weird exotic thing you seem to think. They’re barely to the left of common.

Do they like to have it/sex? Or uncomfortable?
Not from a reliable source, my grand parents and neighbors used to say it,😉 so i have to listen to some extent.
A person had married to twin girl and they blessed with identical twins babies. 😛

Dude, there are hundreds of reasons why a marriage will or will not be successful. A person being a twin is not one of them.
Here is a list of things that _do_ matter, in no particular order:
[ol]
[li]Are we entering into this marriage as adults and of our own volition?[/li][li]Do we love one another?[/li][li]Do we want to spend the rest of our lives together?[/li][li]Will we put each other’s happiness before all others?[/li][li]Are our life goals mutually compatible?[/li][li]Do we share a deep personal connection greater than anyone else either of us have met?[/li][li]Do we make each other laugh?[/li][li]Do we give each other strength?[/li][li]Do we find each other interesting?[/li][li]Do we find one another attractive?[/li][li]Are our _ahem_ sexual appetites compatible with each others?[/li][li]Are we marrying because that is what we want to do rather than because it is what other people expect us to do?[/li][/ol]
If you answer “no” to any of **those** questions, then I would urge caution about marrying this person.
“Twin” doesn’t even enter into it.

How old are you exactly?
I am married to a twin by the way. Most days I hardly even notice that she’s a twin. They appear deceptively normal when not standing next to each other.

i can yes,
1. this is kind of arranged marriage.
2. i guess it would take some time to be close
3. of course, life time
4. should be
5. yes
6. am ready to talk but not sure about her
7. getting closer
8. yes
9. she is most beautiful and very attractive. should i ask her the opinion about me?
10.
* * *
11. Not yet
12. its life matter
I do not know how to approach her and discuss the things like this. Am alright but there is something in my mind “twin”, will have to erase it off.

Yeah I figured arranged marriage was where we were going here. For the record I am actually married to a twin. They are just sisters as far as you need to be concerned.
You seem nice though. Let me know when your first daughter is marrying age. I should have a good niece for him by then.

There is a higher probability of getting twins, but that’s all. No more disabilities, genetic troubles or so forth than any other person.
