It's been awhile but there was a study that looked at the real numbers behind divorce.
It turns out that something like 28% of FIRST marriages fail. They get to 50%+ because of multiple failures.
Lies, damned lies & statistics.
Groom charged with being too near bride at wedding
BATAVIA, N.Y. (AP) — A New York state man has been arrested for getting too close to his bride on their wedding day.
Police say Timothy Cole quarreled with a wedding guest at a party Friday after his wedding to his ex-wife in Batavia (buh-TAY’-vee-uh).
Officers knew the 45-year-old Cole from previous arrests and realized his bride had an order of protection against him. Cole was charged with first-degree criminal contempt, a felony, and ordered jailed without bail.
The Daily News in Batavia says Cole was convicted of criminal contempt on July 1.
The Genesee County public defender’s office says Cole hasn’t been assigned an attorney.
Churches don't marry people - churches bless unions.
The paperwork is the same and goes to the same office, is stamped by the same clueless bureaucrat and filed in the same dingy-green filing cabinet.
I never answered this. Cos I don't wanna.So then, why not get married?
Dudes, let's give marriage back to the church.
and for those of us who don't recognize the church as a legitimate authority?
and that would be most of the civilized world at this point.
i guess what i'm getting at is... would the only difference between these two things be that one is executed by church dude and one by some bureaucrat? would you imagine any differences in legal standing?
Dudes, let's give marriage back to the church, and restrict the gov't to licensing 'civil unions'.
