The thing is, with that legally binding contract, a marriage license, a husband cannot legally just walk out on his wife (or wife walking out on her husband). We are not discussing emotions here, we are discussing what one can legally do--what is observed by a judge, mediator and lawyers.

More states are giving "Covenent Marriages" licenses. If the marital relationship goes sour, then the couple must work it out with a counselor (pastor) or whomever and prove that they tried. The only way one can get out of the "covenent marriage" if there is something grossly wrong--like domestic violence (on paper-police report), excessive loss of money, abandonment for 2 years, proof of infidelity, or substance abuse--at least that is how the state of Arizona has it written. And the court folks just say that you can have all the "partnership agreements" that you'd like, folks still divorce and the lawyers just make more money...

I really think that for adults and not teenagers, because their thinking and life experiences are limited, just screw up like teenagers. They get drunk for that "sport EFF" and "whoops, I'm pregnant" and I didn't really know the guy...





Then it begs to question, how come someone would have a child with a loser but not want to marry him or her? Isn't that putting the "cart before the horse" thinking?

But most folks think of the "here and now"...

Repeat that last sentence again...b/c a lot of folks just don't get it.
