>>Miss Jones, 24, and her partner Anthony Jones - who coincidentally share the same surname -<<

Heaven forbid that anyone think they were actually married.
I haven’t read one of these articles from the UK in ages where the couple were married. What is the benefit of not being husband and wife?

Well, atleast they didn’t lie about it. I can’t tell you the number of times I have been lied to regarding people who say they are married and really aren’t.

It’s usually about insurance and benefits and the corporations are full of them.

I don’t really get that either. It seems that by the time the second child came along, they might have gotten ‘round to it.

Taxes, sometimes in Europe couples actually pay less in taxes if they live together but don’t marry.

In the US at least, more government benefits if you are unmarried.

The larger reason is the decline of Christianity and the breakdown of the family. Why bother getting married if you expect to divorce anyway?
