Retroactive recognition. But it's about two people in love, not property and things.

Look at the bright side. When gay couples break up, the poorer one will be able to claim common law marriage as a way to get palimony or alimony or a share of the “marital” property and gays will get dragged into the hellish, ugly division of marital property disputes that straight couples have all the time.

I kind of like this...saddle them with all the crazy marriage laws out there. So now when they shack up they are getting married in some states.

They destroyed marriage and chastity in youth through birth control.

They got the unborn children through abortion.

Latest they got the born children through parentless families or “same sex mirage” (Sodomites).

Next they get the rest of us through euthanasia.

Unless we repent of all those secret personal rebellions against God’s will we’re finished.

Pray the rosary.

Go to the traditional Latin Mass.

Fast and pray.

Once upon a time, Common Law Marriage was eliminated here in Texas. That was important to me. I couldn't be trapped unless there was a real wedding. Different genders or not.

First thing I'll do when my lawyer opens his office is to sic him on this to find out. Some ladies may find a new and different relationship with me.

In the state of Texas the misconception that living together for a period of time automatically gives you the legality of common law marriage. That is absolutely wrong.

In Texas, if the ones living together actually tell, write, insinuate, or by any other means publicly represent the fact that they are a married couple then they can be declared by law to be married.

I miss the rule of law. Next thing we know, this power-drunk judge
will declare that all crazy cat ladies are married to their cats.

Would that be common law polygamy?

I’ve wondered about this. How my Texas Bubba’s don’t realize they’re married to each other.

Time to prohibit common law marriage. There are only 8 states that allow it.

Why didn’t they get married in another state? Obviously, the Buddhist thing wasn’t legal, which really makes it sound like they didn’t want to be married.
