Yoda actually had some insight, he felt Anakin's pain when his mother died, and Anakin also went to him for advice when he spoke generally about his dreams. Yoda's advice was essentially to break up with Padme.

It isn't as if Anakin was constantly with Padme. He was away for weeks/months at at time on missions.

The Jedi may also not have a problem with NSA relationships.

I don't think the Jedi council had any clue about Anakin and Padme's relationship but I think Obi-wan knew that Anakin and Padme were close. I mean when Obi-wan knew something was wrong with Anakin he want straight to Padme. but I don't think he knew Anakin and Padme were married to each other until he found out that Padme was pregnant.

Exactly. The Jedi Council did not know of the relationship and would not have approved had they known. Obi-Wan kept silent for Anakin's sake.

Yeah Obiwan knew that Anakin had a thing for Padme and he knew she considered him a close friend but i dont think early on he knew that she really liked him back. He saw it as them being best friends and only because of her pregnancy he saw them as what they really were. Then again, did he just think Anakin got her pregnant or did he think they really were married, that i dont know.

That very much correct, I think.
Although, he may have concluded in the end that they were married. Probably after he landed on Mustafar. A little late.

I think Obi-Wan and Yoda knew there was something romantic going on between Anakin and the Senator. But they didn't realized they were married and having marital relations. I believe they didn't think the Senator would have relations with Anakin as an unmarried woman and the guilt Anakin would feel would keep him from pressing the relationship too far. And they didn't think Anakin would break his vow and marry nor did they feel that the Senator would allow him to do that, or participate in any such thing based on the character she showed to the world.

The marriage is not really important. The love as an emotion is. So, Anakin is already braking his wow by merely being in love with the Senator and that all becomes even more severe when she returns the feelings.
SO, it is a bit surprising that the Jedi did nothing if they knew of his feelings.

I don't think the Council knew, but Obiwan did. It was a major error turning a blind eye.

And what was Padme thinking? A woman in her position allowing herself to get involved with a jedi. Politicians...

I still say Padme came down with a cold when Anakin's midi-whatsits started penetrating her cells. Ewwwww. Its really kinda creepy when you think of it that way. She wasn't thinking clearly. I mean, who wears a leather dominatrix outfit to tell someone "it can never be." I see these little Anakin-shaped cells laughing maniacally elbowing their way over Padme's common sense "wisest-queen-ever" brains cells.

Please. She was 24 and in the presence of a strapping young man for the first time in her life. She was surrounded by lookalike girls and old fuddy duddies like Sio Bibble.

She was so ripe she was ready to fall off the vine.

Not only that but if you read the book, seems like she had family pressure telling her to hurry up and settle down. Anakin was the only one around her to do that with

Obi Wan knew, but none of the council other than him and maybe Yoda knew something was happening.

She could've had her pick of men. Just because we don't see them on screen doesn't mean there were other decent prospects in the galaxy. Why would a highly intelligent, beautiful, successful woman like that go for a whiny twerp like Anakin?

Actually, relating that to what happens on planet Earth, it makes perfect sense.

Actually, it appears to take Obi-Wan some time to figure out the connection, and by then most of the Jedi are killed. Otherwise, maybe Anakin did a good job of keeping it a secret? confused

Its implied Obi-wan knew, not to the whole marriage part, but I think he knew something was going on between them.

Obi-Wan knew already. Does everyone remember the scene in AOTC when they are racing to confront Count Dooku? Padme falls from the craft and Anakin wants to go after her. Obi-Wan tells Anakin to come to his senses.

I would strongly suspect Obi-Wan knew about their relationship but never said anything. Also, after Dooku defeats Skywalker and Kenobi, Padme is there to kiss and hug Anakin right in front of Yoda and Obi-Wan!
