Whats your reaction to the human interest stories that pop up from time to time of an elderly couple finding love in the retirement home and marrying? Disgust at the debasement of marriage or a contented sigh for their happyness?
What about friends in their 40's who finally meet someone and want to marry?
Would you see marriage for over 50's who's kids have all reached 18 disolved by the state?
Personally I think most of you are hiding behind children as a pathetic cover for your own issues with same sex relationships. It's not in the least bit honest or decent. Some display a disturbing interest in the physical details of other peoples sex lives and clearly spend far too much time thinking about it.
It's time to accept that marriage as a legal structure has probably never had the widespread idealised value that some want to ascribe to it.
For some it's a fantastic long term life experience, for many others a workable agreement that provides a degree of stability and for others a living hell that leaves them to some degree trapped in close proximity to a psychopath.
Best option.
- Get the government out of the business of registering relationships.
Alternatives - If the government insists in staying in the business then either make it a legally inforcable contract with specific meaning or remove any forms of discrimination in regard to gender or number involved.
