Most people think about it all romantical and forget it's also a business deal. Deal with that as well and you'll have less issues should the business go bad. I've done that in my previous relationship (not married) and my one and only marriage and it's worked for me. I'm still married by the way. Just wanted to stress I'm only doing it once and it took me a long time to get there.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16510274176187658301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-33617262437337048152011-05-31T19:23:08.513-07:002011-05-31T19:23:08.513-07:00Brad!

(How does red velvet--w/more chocolate flavor than the usual red velvet--w/cream cheese frosting sound?) ;-)<br /><br />One of the big reasons people still want to get married--and why it's so important for same-sex couples to have the right--is all the various legal issues, such as being able to visit your SO in the hospital, inheritance rights, getting health insurance, etc. etc. etc. Yes, you can jump through as many legal hoops as possible, and make all kinds of contingency plans, but when you get right down to it, actually being married still gets you more respect & better treatment than being long-time partners, even if the married couple are newlyweds & the partners have been together for 50 years. (In western European countries where living together is much more common, many of these rights aren't linked as strongly to marriage, which does make a difference.)<br /><br />Now if I can just get my mother to understand this is why I support same-sex marriage even though I'm a straight single woman...*sigh*Robin the Mad Photographerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05766675938768012882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-9150160425649998002011-05-31T18:44:04.712-07:002011-05-31T18:44:04.712-07:00I was married once.

It was bloody facinating and I guess why Im bringing it up is it put into perspective for me that marriage is much more of a modern phenomenon but finding a mate and being with them throughout your life span is something many species of animal has done for millions of years. So I guess my comment is there is no right or wrong and no better option than any other. If you are lucky enough to find someone you want to be with for life and they feel the same than a piece of paper isnt going to increase those odds or lower them. Mating has been happening for millions of years and wearing a white dress to cinch the deal aint gonna solidify anything more than an acceptable place in modern society for the couple. <br /><br />Of course the total chicky side of me WANTS that dress action and that wedding stuff. lolol. But I'll know a wedding wont make me stick to someone for ever- only love can do that.<br />Oh no, I feel like I got sidetracked and entered Mushy Town. :PJasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13658518800251976948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-53103100667416591092011-05-31T17:28:34.283-07:002011-05-31T17:28:34.283-07:00It's funny when people talk as though they kno...It's funny when people talk as though they know Pitt and Jolie personally, or know what's going on in their minds. <br />Get married, or don't-who cares? I don't think marriage is the kiss of death for a relationship any more than never marrying is an indicator of lack of commitment. To each his/her own. Relationships and marriages fail due to any number of reasons-most of which have nothing to do with making it, or not making it, official. <br />And, for what it's worth, I agree with the poster who pointed out that this suddenly public relationship talk has more to do with publicity than anything else!ecuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15628265067350886373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-5439820299606877912011-05-31T17:11:42.540-07:002011-05-31T17:11:42.540-07:00In the article Enty linked to, she mentions how in...In the article Enty linked to, she mentions how in being previously married, she felt like she had lost part of her identity.

And count me among those who say that if it ain't broke, then why fix/jinx it by making it "official"? <br /><br />A few years ago, I actually had a friend shrug and say "well, we figured it was time to shit or get off the pot" when I expressed surprise at her engagement. Surprise! She's now divorced! <br /><br />That said, I think these two are the real deal, and they could easily make it for the long haul. They've been together for SIX YEARS. Maybe their kids just want that extra security that comes along with having married parents, and I can't blame them. <br /><br />BUT, if they really want to make it to the altar, I wish they'd campaign a little harder for gay marriage. That's a lovely statement Mr. Pitt uttered a few years ago, and it appears as if none of us have forgotten it. ;-)Murphy Brown 2020https://www.blogger.com/profile/13320405041881711286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-9114929982559516212011-05-31T12:26:05.845-07:002011-05-31T12:26:05.845-07:00They have three biological children and have adopt...They have three biological children and have adopted two more together and changed Maddox's last name to Jolie-Pitt.
