zk – I agree and stated it earlier that there are tax and insurance reasons for why gay people want to get married and why it is opposed by government. Religion is a disguise to get people emotional. It’s always about money.
By the same token, the couple you speak of have been together for 10 years, w/out the benefits. Not a financial decision for them, but out of love. It’s just as sweet as heterosexual couples who make a commitment to each other. And I also agree that it’s healthy.
