Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?
If half of all marriages FAIL, the institution is a fail.
Failed word twisting has failed. Deuce and RN are not saying that the institution of marriage itself has always been f'd up, but that a marriage that ends in divorce is f'd up, in one manner or another. Some of it stems from individuals just jumping into marriage without really getting to know their potential spouse at all really. If you meet, propose and marry someone within a single calender year, you might as well start planning the divorce settlement (statistically speaking). Then there are those where one partner is abusive but had hidden it for years or escalated it beyond the other's endurance. These marriages are indeed f'd up. That doesn't lead to an automatic conclusion of the institution being f'd up. Divorce is not the cause of anything regarding the institution of marriage. It is the symptom, the end result. You are putting the cart before the horse.
