gay marriage

A union between two men or two women, allowing them to have the exact same set of legal rights as those possessed by heterosexual spouses. These include rights such as hospital visitation. A step beyond civil union, gay marriage will at last give LGBT partners the security that every family, whether m/f, m/m, or f/f, deserves.

Since gay marriage was approved in my state, I am now allowed to visit my husband when he is sick in the hospital.

Modern White Marriage

Is a trend in which the marriage between a white couple is often female led and encourages serving and satisfying the wife with usually the addition of a third partner generally black and well-endowed for her pleasure.

"It's okay for my wife to flirt with him because we are in a modern white marriage."

Marriage

The point at which the friendship with your sweetheart ends and becomes a business relationship.

The point at which you stop having fun and take on responsibility for yourself and your new wife.

The end of your life as you once knew it.

Marriage is a lot like playing cards.

You start out giving a heart and a diamond, and end up wishing for a club and a spade.

starter marriage

Exclusively refers to a couple's initial marriage, probably at age 24 or less, involving partners with little income and assets. May or may not end with children; will likely not end with more assets than when it began. One or more of the partners may have an advanced degree at the time of divorce. Subsequent marriages are usually to partners higher up the socio-economic scale.

All she got was a '84 Suburu and some crummy dishes. No jewels, no real estate, nothing really to split; it was a starter marriage.

The triumph of imagination over intelligence.

Please don't ask me about my marriage.

marriage

For many, the phase of a relationship in which delight turns to disappointment and romance turns to resentment. Then she turns to her girlfriends and he turns to drink. Presently they turn on each other. He turns to a mistress, she to a divorce lawyer. Their home turns into hers but their mortgage turns into his. The sons turn into junkies, the daughters into teenage moms. And that's the bright side, because in many cases that's as close to a turn-on as marriage gets. Unless you're very, very, VERRRRY careful, and willing to wait and wait and WAAAAIIIIIIT for a truly exceptional person to enter your life, AND for real love between you to grow. A marriage founded on that rock-solid basis still has only a 50/50 chance of success (i.e. boredom) or failure (i.e. the tragedy described above), because marriage often changes people, leaving you shackled to a stranger. Yet that's as good as life's going to get, kid. Suddenly the Navy doesn't sound so bad, does it?

Marriage should only be attempted by those blessed with incredible luck.

MARRIAGE

1)The root cause of divorce.
2)The most successful wealth transfer scheme ever invented.
3)A contract-that if presented to you by an agent/lawyer-would
be sufficient grounds for a legal malpractice suit.
4)One sure way that the state can stay involved in your
life.FOREVER.
5)The point at which regular good sex stops...and infrequent
sex for procreation,manipulation,and/or passive-aggressive
destruction begins.
6)An institution that should be scrapped in favor of 1-3-5
year contracts...Not that you'll be any happier.

Marriage is wonderful.I can see why gay couples want to share in the experience.
