His findings are politically incorrect. What about the emotional status of homos?

I don’t believe most homos ever cared about getting married. They just want e to stick their perversions in people’s faces. The ones that thought a piece of paper from our courts would make them happy have likely found that they’re still miserable.

Who cares? I’m not looking for an emotional boost, I’m looking to obey God. That’s the most important thing.

Why would any man ever w]live with a woman they are not required to do so by law?

Marry her and you have a very good chance she'll get at least 1/2 your stuff in the divorce.

50 years of liberals writing family law has consequences.

I disagree completely; shacking up and actually being married are two VERY different things and can’t show the same results at all.

Pull out this article when your long-time girlfriend starts dropping increasingly aggressive, two-ton hints about wanting The Ring.

It’s a lie. Fornication is a sin. The wages of sin is death.

Sure, now that the institution of marriage has been redefined repeatedly from a religious bond “’til death do you part” to a legal contract for workplace benefits, there is no “emotional boost”.

Got it! BTW, were the offspring of the live-ins asked whether they would receive an “emotional boost” from a more stable arrangement?

" said Sara Mernitz, co-author of the study and a doctoral student in human sciences at The Ohio State University."

Human sciences are probably the most worthless studies a college student can pursue. Oops, forgot Women Studies, Black Studies, LBGT Studies, Human Potty Training Studies, et al. None amount to a real job except in government or other corporate lazy jobs, not to mention it is not an empirical science. Anybody can write a thesis on the human condition because there is no definitive character of homos. People's thinking, feelings, attitudes, behavior vary from one to the next according to their environment.

Let's see:
In the 70's, these "human scientists" said there was no difference between boys and girls. The term was, "Nurture vs Nature" and it was "settled science" that differences didn't exist. Then, in the 80's they found there was an inherent difference the sexes. Not only how the toddler boys and girls would address a problem, but SURPRISE! in brain chemistry. Geeze, any parent could tell the difference immediately between testosterone driven boys and estrogen driven girls. Well, maybe not the trans-genders. Ha.

Looking for a low-paying unappreciated job in Human Resources? by all means pursue a doctorate in "human sciences". Even Sheldon of "The Big Bang Theory" would consider them non-scientists.

An emotion-based study is worth nothing more than the mercurial nature of an emotional reaction.

Honest theremis no upside to men getting married anymore. Its an invitation to lose control of your life and half your stuff at another persons whim.

""Now it appears that young people, especially women, get the same emotional boost from moving in together as they do from going directly to marriage," she said. "There's no additional boost from getting married."

She may be correct now that marriage means nothing. Thanks USSC.

Asked my wife the other day why we should stay married with her being a supporter of gay marriage - she had no answer and changed the subject. I internally couldn't answer either. What's the point now? Legal benefits/considerations? Of course, she is my partner and love for my life. But why did the gays have to usurp that traditional term? Why couldn't they have originated their own term for a legal partnership?

Another thing: If they want to live/act like men, then be ready to reap the consequences as the male sluts they emulate. It always cracks me up that so many young female college students come back from Spring Break knocked up, and their parents have no clue but to support their new offspring.

Hey young women, you want respect? Quit acting like sluts and partying and jumping every thing that has a swinging...

There's a movie called, "Pleasantville" where a brother and sister find themselves back in the 1950's. Makes me nostalgic.

No. A ho shacks up. There is no emotional boost to that.

Live together.
Get married.

One of them, God will judge.

Choose wisely.

Shacking up benefits the guy. He gets maid service and ho service for free!

I know more and more couples who have been living without being married for more than ten years. I don’t get it. But they seem to be as committed as the rest of us. Their relationships have lasted longer than most marriages of their peers.

I have one daughter that is getting married next year.

I have another daughter who has been in a relationship for years and has stated that they are not interested in getting married or having kids.

I can’t figure it out. My wife and I have been married thirty years. Always church going. Always pointed out the pitfalls of living in sin.

After 23 years, she is making her own decisions.

Hold it here
See I wanted her real bad, and I was about to give in
But that’s when she started talking about true love,
Started talking about sin
And I said, honey I’ll live with you for the rest of my life,
She said no hug-ee no kiss-ee until you make me your wife-a
My honey my baby, don’t put my love upon no shelf
She said don’t hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself
