Marriage and Divorce

After reading THIS article on CNN I has just one thought. The divorce rate in this country SUCKS.

Here we have same sex couples fighting for the right to wed. They say it's because they want to devote their lives to one another. Then some states give the right, they marry and what happens? They decide a couple of years later they have, "irreconcilable differences" and need to divorce. I know shit happens but when I said I do, I meant I do. For better, worse, anything and everything. Perhaps the only thing that I couldn't honestly forgive is adultery or physical/emotional abuse, otherwise you have to work at it.

Maybe this is harsh of me but I'm asking this in all honesty. Why do people want to be married if it's only going to be taken lightly? We already have men and women marrying that do that all the time. I've seen couples who refuse to marry because they swear they don't need a piece of paper or legal contract to prove their devotion to one another. It seems like they are the couples that last. (them and my grandparents)

This isn't a bash of any kind on same sex couples. This is for all couples who choose to marry and don't do everything they can to make something work. I don't know these two women and it's perhaps unfair to make an example of them. I just find it a shame that divorce occurs so frequently nowadays.
