You presume they're getting married....they're just celebrating two years of living together.
Why do you think I posted the topic....because of the conversation.
“You presume they’re getting married....they’re just celebrating two years of living together.”
Before the 20th century people that lived together for two years would be considered to be in a common law marriage.
Benjamin Franklin had this type of marriage. All it meant was that the couple did not have a church wedding.
This is still the case in many states. People that live together for a period time, have joint lease or bank account or other acts or actions where they act like a married couple are in fact considered to be married.
I had a secularist friend that found this out the hard way when his live in girlfriend of 7 month walked out and sued him for community property. Surprise! He lost 1/2 his assets.
Don’t get me wrong. I want moral people but it is not a job of the state to tell you you are married. Marriage is a religious sacrament. I have no problem with people not obtaining a marriage license from the state. In fact if the state issues “Marriage licenses” for homosexuals then I believe that Christians should not such a license. Have a religious ceremony but don’t participate in the state’s sin.
Homosexuality is not even in the same league as couples “living together”
