Another thread on marriage : Is marriage obsolete?

[13'sbadkitty]

It occurs to me when I read this that things have indeed changed - a lot. Marriage has gone from being a nessecity for survival for most people, to being an option.

Some men discussing this have said: But if women can earn their own living, what need do they have for us?
And the answer was: Being with you because we want to, not because we have to!

I like that very much! I am with my husband not to pay the bills I could have rented a room out in my house to cover. I am married because I have never slept well my entire life and woke up to everything and everyone. I sleep through the night with him in my bed.

My brother who is gay and got married in CA in 2008. He very much wants to live in a world where he and his husband are recognized the same as my husband and I are no matter what state.

While I agree that the over all approach to marriage and divorce may need to be revisited...I am happy and cozy in my marriage. It is right where I belong.
