I don't want a piece of paper saying I can spend my life with someone, I want the right to the same things as everyone else. Right now, I can't make any decisions about Lucy's healthcare, or her mine, and a marriage license wouldn't change it for us. If I die, she won't get any federal or state benefits from me that either spouse in a traditional marriage would recieve. It's still just discrimination.

And there are many couples who stay married and hate every minute of it. I went through a phase like that; so did my husband--both at different intervals. I don't know when I finally said: You and I will grow old together and never be apart. And it isn't for everybody, nor should it be. My mom kept throwing doctors and lawyers at me when I was single, because she thought I would be unhappy if I didn't marry or marry rich. I married a carpenter straight out of the army--such a rebel.<br /><br />Good post.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812001269655189996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18574314.post-11064757583198239502011-05-31T05:58:44.607-05:002011-05-31T05:58:44.607-05:00What's so sacred about marriage and family?

The church turned into pedophiles and the capitalists abandoned us.
