I feel that SAVING marriages already existing should be the focus of any marriage-pushing guru right now. Not pushing more ill-prepared youngsters into it as a promise of eternal sex. I mean, lets face it, for most teenagers that is the only appeal. Or maybe for some girls like me, it's the promise of kids. Either way, not something to build your life around at 15.Pippihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05598890631695015818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211674678201251588.post-27744148412483342752010-01-08T10:20:04.940-08:002010-01-08T10:20:04.940-08:00National Disaster... thats almost laughable.

From this guy's viewpoint I've been a disaster most of my life, having been a part of a single-parent home growing up.

I love your arguments....I need to join that group.<br /><br />I love your arguments. Everything I've seen indicates much more that the success of a child is linked to love and stability (and socioeconomic status, but I think that that's mainly because a higher socioeconomic status imparts more stability in living situation, etc). I read a good article on the stability factor recently (it was actually on how children of homeowners and children of renters come out the same when you factor in stability- like renting in the same place for years). <br /><br />The only situation in which I would marry again would be once my son is out of the nest. Because honestly, life has taught me that people change suddenly and horribly, and if you're married the process of getting extracted from their life can be excruciating. (see: my marriage, my parents marriage, most other marriages I've seen dissolve)Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960566071671771579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211674678201251588.post-50157800642768799372010-01-07T21:50:50.043-08:002010-01-07T21:50:50.043-08:00Wow.

Impressive. <br /><br />This is crucial, and what none of us realize (who wed, and then live in the legal aftermath for years): <br /><br /><i>This man claims that he wants to educate couples on marriage. As I told him, I hope that education is that of a legal one: one that lets the individuals know that what they are about to do is agree to financial responsibility to one another. That your spouse's driving record will be taken into account for your auto insurance, even if he/she won't be listed as an insured on that vehicle. That any bill your spouse will incur while you're married, whether or not you know about it, you will held liable. That should you decide to separate, you will still hold all of the financial and legal obligations of marriage. If that's what the funds were paying for, I'd be all for it.</i><br /><br />That aside, having done it once, I have no need to do it again. Love? Yes. Commitment? Sure. Legal complexity? Mmmm... debatable.<br /><br />And I have much respect for the institution of marriage. But don't think it's workable for many. <br /><br />Great post. <br /><br />(Guessing this group doesn't believe in condoms either. Or do I widen my national disastrousness too far in making that remark?)BigLittleWolfhttp://dailyplateofcrazy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211674678201251588.post-76752731854261346102010-01-07T18:38:46.676-08:002010-01-07T18:38:46.676-08:00Very interesting.
