[quote=FlyerInHi]Marriage is for estate planning, not love.
Look at the history of marriage. It was an upper class phenomenon, and still is.
Children in marriages prosper because of stability and financial wealth. It’s not to say that the same cannot be achieved without marriage. But that would take more thought and dedication.
Marriage is just a contract that keeps people in relationships.
The evidence so far is that children of gay couples do very well academically and otherwise because the children are really wanted.
As to the gay divorce rate in the future, It will be lower than 50% because, I guess, gays would try out cohabitation longer before entering into marriage.
I know a gay couple who adopted 2 daughters. Kids grew up in west Hollywood (surely not Carmel valley like school district). Straight A students headed to the top universities. Want to become radiologists. The family is not rich (old bungalow house and old cars). They have lots of friends and a good support network.
The dads have been together close to 30 years. They have had extra marital sex, but they have stayed together.[/quote]
I have also seen gay divorces too. Same bitterness and bickering and dragged out mess.
