Okay; I like marriage, and have done it frequently. Also, I tend not to worry about others, since my own need some work.
I am quite connected to longterm happy marriage myself but I was discussing the topic without interjecting my personal life into this thread because that is how I prefer to operate when on a forum. Why do you get the misguided impression I am worried about others? Not at all. Who would I be worried about exactly? lol
I gave a viewpoint. You disagree but did nothing to back your POV up except to take it to your own personal level. Whatever floats your boat.
You do realize this is a message board of strangers discussing various topics, right? The topic here is marriage certificates. *shrug
So it works for you? Terrific. Maybe it'll work for others, too. But even if not, they deserve the choice, regardless of whether or not you're keen on the state of OTHERS marriages.
Why do I feel like you are not getting me? Where did I ever propose taking marriage away from people? I am not an elected official and I certainly have bigger fish to fry than working on ending state sanctioned marriages. State sanctioned schools would get my attention first. lol
Once again the state of marriage in general is a mess. See divorce rate for further understanding. That is what I addressed and I gave my opinions. Stop taking everything down to a personal level. We are not discussing me or you. We give o-p-i-n-i-o-n-s here. I gave mine and the divorce rate backs up my viewpoint that marriage is a mess.
Damn remedial posting is annoying.
