Yup.
And that’s what I hear from my fellow conservatives on this thread.
Fear of actually being obligated to stand on your side of the contract with consequences if you don’t.
She’s right.
We want the benefits without considering a price.
Marriage is dead and we killed it. If individuals want to honor the original intent... then that’s nice.
But that’s all it is. Nice.
Yep. I think part of the problem is, those who really believe in traditional marriage often avoid the problems associated with these things, because they stay married to partners that also believe in traditional marriage. So, since they don’t experience the havoc in their own lives, they don’t appreciate how damaging these laws are to society as a whole.
The others, well, like you said, they care less about the cost to society than the freedom to skip out on their obligations.
You can blame yourself for killing marriage but don’t include me or Catherine. We both have good, long-term marriages based on love and mutual respect. Actually, her moniker is based on an historical character who stood by her marriage while her husband threw her under the sedan chair.
