It's a joke, maybe you just missed it.aggietony2010 said:HTownAg98 said:The government does need to be involved, but only minimally, because they get to tax assets, and need to know what to do with your property when you're dead. Plus, if what you're doing is a common law marriage, and doing this in Texas, you can't just leave each other and say you're not married anymore; you have to file for divorce. I am not an attorney, and I am definitely not your attorney, and take this advice for what it's worth, but this is a very, very bad idea.Yellerjacket said:Exactly. My wife and I don't even have any kind of contract. We just said we are married and that was that. If we ever decide we don't want to be married anymore, we just won't be. No need to get the government involved.biles90 said:
A better question is why do consenting adults have to get government approval to enter into a contractural relationship (marriage)? I don't have to get government approval to enter into a personal services contract or other (real estate, employment, etc...) contracts.
Back to the OP, if gay/lesbian couples want to be married, they should be able to be as miserable as everyone else.
Oh wow you really got him with that original decade old zinger.
Man, I feel sorry for your spouse if that's your view on marriage.
