My parents bought a new house 4 years ago. They built it from scratch. My dad has a gay friend who also wanted to buy a new house. My dad and mom joint signed on it.
When my dad asked about his friends house, the lady asked him who would be co signing and if the person was single. My dad said "no". It was two men. The lady told him the Lasalle (company) does not recognize same sex couple joint ownership.
Today they are out of business and rightfully so.
Gays and lesbians deserve the same rights as straight couples. What makes a straight marriage so special and sacred? Nothing.
People buy houses all the time when not related! If one person could afford it on their own you can even put one person on the note and both on the deed.
Looking at the votes, in general, the more conservative-minded people believe that marriage is sacred, and the more liberal-minded people believe that it is not.
Interesting how evenly divided it is.
Personally I think that it should be sacred, but unfortunately I don't feel that it is.
When I got married income tax really didn't even come into the equation.
I honestly don't think so. Look at our divorce rates. Fifty one percent. Dang. That is over HALF the marriages in this country.
It is not about love anymore as it is about tax breaks. That is the only reason I think I would get married. Don't get me wrong, I love the one who I am with but we can be together and in love without getting married. You don't need to be in love to get married. But I want the tax breaks when we eventually decide to settle.
I actually know someone who married their friend just for tax cuts and they are getting it.
I don't think marriage is sacred or necessary anymore.
I'm sure glad to know that 51% is over half.
See, you exemplify the problem. You will not make a commitment. If you married, you would become one of the statistics, because of that lack of commitment. You must be very insecure.
Marriage not necessary? I wonder how a child living under such circumstances feels? A bastard, with parents that are not committed enough to the relationship to marry, who could simply walk away at any time. Now that's real security!
A family is not a group of people living together!
Yipes, some of you people really make me wonder! We are becoming a third world nation, with no morals and no sense of right and wrong. We want what our neighbors have, and we ask the government to take it from them and dole it out to us. We think someone else should pay for our education, we think we have a right to free health care, free housing, etc, etc.
Are you an Occupier? You sound like one. Let me guess: You support Obama, too. Right? What is wrong with you?
sacred as in the religious concept? its a sacrament but the law has defiled it. btw marriage failure is 50% but marriage itself has fallen 50% since 1975. its a double whammy. that is why you see so many frustrated angry women. hard to build a nest by yourself. womens movement made good on many of its promises, but women are far from pleased with the results.
Why don't you use capitalization to start your sentences? Have you never studied English and writing? That defines you.
Marriage should be sacred. If marriage is in decline it doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with marriage itself. It means they are too many people getting married that are not marriage material.
