ROVE: Well, marriage is a very important part of our culture and our society. If we want to have a hopeful and decent society, we ought to aim for the ideal. And the ideal is that marriage ought to be and should be a union of a man and a woman ( Read more... )

I'm against the idea of traditional marriages (for myself), because I don't want to be married in either the eyes of God or the law. I want to be married in the eyes of myself and my partner.

I wish I could give my right to a true marriage to a gay or lesbian couple so it won't go to waste. Ha.

I guess I'd still get the tax breaks in the absence of religion plus prenuptial agreements, though.

OUCH!! Is the first word that comes to mind. Speaking as a married woman of about 5yrs (in just a couple of days), I truly love my husband, as he does me. You know, with all the shit we have been through in the last 5 yrs, we would have to love each other. To say you wouldnt get married because of the 50% of people who are married fuck it up is just crazy. I am not saying go get married, but chose not to because of you, not because of everyone else. Alot of married people are happy. You know, my parents have been married for 24 yrs, and trust me, it has been ROUGH, but they stayed married because they do believe in marriage, they vowed to love each other and they take that seriously. I am not saying that no one should ever get a divorce, my sister got divorced after a month, but that is a whole different story. I guess my point is, you marry someone because you love them, because you see yourselves 75 yrs old swingin on a porch swing and you like that idea. When you look at them you thnk there is no one else I want right here ( ... )

First of all. I was with Patrick before you even met Anthony. Even though Patrick and I aren't "married" we DAMN sure live a "married" life. We have been through as much or more than you have with Anthony. We have moved cross country together, big deaths in the family, his family just lost his house in a flood, we've got bills and rent too Amanda. You are no different than us except for the ring on your finger. THAT is what I have to say before I say ANYTHING else ( ... )

First of all, I wasnt saying your "statistic" was crazy, I know that it is true. I was saying not to let other peoples fuck ups make your decisions. Second of all, I wasnt saying that my relationship has more meaning than yours because I am married. Dont you DARE put words in my mouth. I was offering a different point of view, from someone who believes in marriage and got married for all the right reasons, despite what others may have said. You need to calm down and not take what I said as a personal attack on your relationship. I wasnt saying you are wrong for not wanting to get married. I wasnt saying anyone was wrong for not getting married.That is a personal decision that only you can make. I was simply saying that if there is any part of you that has the desire to get married, dont give up because other people fuck up ( ... )

Ok. I can see now that you weren't saying the "statistic" was crazy. However... I am not NOT getting married because of a "statistic" I just honestly don't want to be put in the same group as the majority of the people that are married ( ... )
