In the context of common law marriage in America, when people think that it doesn’t exist anymore, for instance post 69 that I was responding to, then yeah, 9 states and DC is many.
Is that what you want to argue about so badly, you didn’t like the way that I used the word ‘many’ in that post?
To: longtermmemmory
We still have common law marriage in many states in America, Texas for instance (and with no license),
With common law marriage you can call yourself married, but for it to be legal, you have to do it in a state that recognizes it, and meet the legal requirements of that state.
Making your relationship “legal” is a personal choice, just at it was 20 or 50 years ago.

I’m hardly interested in an argument, I’m sure I could find more interesting topics if I wanted to do so. I just don’t consider 9 states out of 50 to be all that large a number. That’s as much as I have to say on the matter.
