   Why bother defending marriage? People break vows faster than they can agree to them. Sorry to be so negative, but that’s the truth.

   …marriage is the opium of the masses…

   Hugh, ‘tis true. People get married (and divorced) for a LOT of stupid reasons. My brother-in-law’s marriage lasted 3 months.

   most of the divorce happens because one party or another misrepresent themselves in the dating phase. Pretending to be whatever the other half finds attractive. Then, once the fish is landed and gasping on the dock they revert to who they really are then act surprised when their spouse feels cheated.

   sorry, no, I’m not bitter at all….

   “Start out as you mean to go along”; I think I read that line somewhere in a novel and it stuck. There’s too much error allowed if you’re always trying to please someone else at your own expense.

   Let me not to the impediment of true minds admit marriage.

   “Start As You Mean To Go On” is a Black Box Recorder song, if that helps…

   problem is threefold

   1 everybody thinks “me first”

   2 nobody is willing to talk and compromise

   3 Divorce is way to easy

    Pab, you’re my hero (wanna get married?)! This is too funny! And too sad, too. Thousands of people want to honor their relationships to each other, not get married for purposes of publicity or exploitation, but no, those don’t count. Only if a man and woman want to marry, regardless of how shabbily they treat one another and the institution, is it legitimate. Gay marriage is not the problem, as you so trenchantly point out.

    Yeah, Britney’s been a bastion for the institution of marriage, hasn’t she. Then again, so has Las Vegas as a whole.

    I would just like to point out that British Columbia is beautiful this time of year, and same-sex marriage is legal Canada-wide.

    Somebody tell the experts that statistically speaking gay relationships last longer than heterosexual marriage. So if you really want to preserve the institution of marriage…

    Besides, think of two women planning a wedding… We’ve just stimulated the economy tenfold.
