I am sure this does not apply to same sex couples.
When I posted this article, I wasn’t even thinking of same sex couples. Now I’m wondering if the rules are different in the states that recognize gay marriage. (Blech!)
Anyone more knowlegeable then me have an answer?
One big reason for gay marriage was so that the "spouse" could tap into the benefits plan of the "husband". Take that away, and much of the incentive for gay marriage goes away.
