Homosexual Agenda Ping.
Interesting dicussion. Couple points: There really isn't a 50% failure rate for marriage. And by marriage, I mean of course one man and one woman. Secularists for some reason want to make everyone think that marriage is kaput, finished, on its way out. (Except for "gay" marriage. No rationality here.) The fact is, that of ALL marriages, the latest rates I've seen are the 50% end in divorce. BUT - the secret is, that out of those which end in divorce, a goodly share are - get this - RE-MARRIAGES. IOW, when someone divorces, and then remarries, and then divorces again, this is two divorces and two marriages. But for the same person. Additionally, it's also a fact that divorcees when remarrying divorce again at a higher rate.
So, the point is that out of people who marry for the first time, there is a higher success rate (meaning staying together) than 50%. I don't know exact figures; if anyone does, ping me.
It's also worth noting that every single one of the legal benefits or arrangements that homosexuals supposedly want "marriage" for, can be done without any "marriage". There are attorneys galore, paralegals, do it yourself legal forms and books. All can be done without faux same sex "marriage".
Let me and ItsOurTimeNow know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.

They certainly do!! I wish people would, heck I wish the President would, shout it from every roof top! They already HAVE those rights.
Secular humanists no doubt count those shacking up who break it off!
LOL! In their world (and they would like it to be our world), heterosexuals should "live together" and gays should marry.
