[QUOTE="Marg's Man, post: 289940, member: 4085"] Just follow on a bit about the importance of marriage... There's been a bit discussion here lately because one of our senior politicians is beating a personal drum and wants to make divorce harder. (Australia brought in no-fault divorces about 15 years ago). Marg and I were watching a couple of pundits -chosen for their usually opposing views - discussing it. They agreed he was wrong but one of them made a VERY good point - that MARRIAGE is too easy. Marg & I have been married over 30 years and I'm a little more in love with her every day. I know we are very much the exception. Too often we have seen marriages break up because the couple involved had rushed into it. Perhaps we should make it harder to get married, so that people who patently unsuited to each other are not forced to stay together rather than forcing these people to stay together. How often have we seen damage done because a couple stayed together "for the sake of the children". We only have to look at our daughter in law to see a glaring example of that. Her parents should never have got married and should have got divorced immediately. She didn't believe marriage could be happy - until she met us. Sad really. Marriage is a massive commitment, not just to each other but to your families present and future. It should be gone into lightly . These mail order ministers further devalue the whole process.
