1. the leading cause of divorce is

Marriage. :evilgrin:

It just makes the lazy, sleazy, greedy divorce lawyers rich. They talk tough and then roll over.

2. Better the money go to the lawyer than to the evil spouse - ?? Mediation seems

out of the question always, but I suspect mediation would be a better way 90% of the time.

3. Does that mean that in the year 2350...

...half of the adult US population will be gay-married?

:evilgrin:

4. Well I only know of one gay divorce in Mass in the first year of gay marriage - so it

does seem likely there will be more gay marriages than straight if that relative success rate continues!
