Behind every great Woman there's a great Man..

Grounds for a divorce in MA.

As I looked into marriage & divorce I find some groups (based in religious & social mores no doubt) want to make it even more difficult to get divorced, at least here in the United States.

Although I agree with some of their views, i.e going through classes before marriage,

I don't agree with making it more difficult to divorce not that it matters much what I think.

Here they are, they that are looking to reform the laws on divorce and marriage.

Personally I think the Catholic church should look at their annulment laws & the farce that can be; never happened is a joke, I pick on them due that I do feel they are one of the groups (among others) that are behind it.

Not unlike and imo much like the Pro-Fetus worshippers the "I don't give a damn once you're born group."

Religion and their seeming and absolute desire to have DOMINION over everything & everybody.

Marriage is a social, religious, spiritual and/or legal union of individuals that creates kinship. This union may also be called matrimony, while the ceremony that marks its beginning is usually called a wedding and the married status created is sometimes called wedlock. Marriage is an institution in which interpersonal relationships (usually intimate and sexual) are acknowledged by the state, by religious authority, or both. It is often viewed as a contract. Civil marriage is the legal concept of marriage as a governmental institution, in accordance with marriage laws of the jurisdiction. If recognized by the state, by the religion(s) to which the parties belong or by society in general, the act of marriage changes the personal and social status of the individuals who enter into it. People marry for many reasons, but usually one or more of the following: legal, social, emotional, and economic stability; the formation of a family unit; procreation and the education and nurturing of children; legitimizing sexual relations; public declaration of love. ( comes in handy eh when otherwise sex is considered a sin hmm where could that notion come from ) Marriage may take many forms: for example, a union between one man and one woman as husband and wife is a monogamous heterosexual marriage; polygamy – in which a person takes more than one spouse – is common in some societies. Some jurisdictions and religious denominations recognize same-sex marriage, uniting people of the same sex. A marriage is often formalized by a ceremony called a wedding, which in modern times is usually performed by a religious minister or a civil officer. The act of marriage usually creates normative or legal obligations between the individuals involved and, in many societies, their extended families. Definitions Anthropologists have documented a diverse variety of marriage practices across different cultures. Many competing definitions of marriage have been proposed to capture its essential, cross-cultural characteristics.[9] In his three volume The History of Human Marriage (1921), Edward Westermarck defined marriage as "a more or less durable connection between male and female, lasting beyond the mere act of propagation till after the birth of the offspring." The anthropological handbook Notes and Queries (1951) defined marriage as "a union of a man and a woman such that children of the woman are recognized as legitimate by both parents." Because the Nuer of Sudan allow for female-female marriage, Kathleen Gough suggested "a woman and one or more other persons." Nuer female-female marriage is done to keep property within a family that has no sons; It's not a form of lesbianism. A legitimacy-based definition has been criticized as not being universal and as being circular. Edmund Leach argued that no one definition of marriage applied to all cultures. He offered a list of ten rights associated with marriage, including sexual monopoly and rights with respect to children, with specific rights differing across cultures. Duran Bell proposed that marriage has traditionally been characterized by sexual access rights, suggesting that modern societies which do not provide for such rights have moved toward a distinct institution.

quoted from Wikipedia.../ I've never been married, I just never couldn't ever bring my self to do "it" commit,

nor the desire for silly march down an aisle, the party, dress, the declaration of my love in front of the eyes of Lord, family and friends :P....

but please don't ask the State in regards to my status as they have their own ideas.
