Comments on: Relationships and Titles http://janyxu.com/2008/07/02/relationships-and-titles/ Tue, 06 Jul 2010 15:02:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Jany http://janyxu.com/2008/07/02/relationships-and-titles/#comment-414 Jany Thu, 10 Jul 2008 21:16:35 +0000 http://thillythenny.wordpress.com/?p=390#comment-414 Thanks for your opinion. I respectfully disagree. By your definition, marriage is a legal contract between two people that is approved by the state. However, this post discusses the title, not the contract. Of course there are benefits to marriage. The LGBT community has been arguing that for years and not just the feeling of being a second-class citizen. By being married, a couple receives the same right as family members and often more so, e.g. inheritance usually goes to the spouse and offspring before other relatives. This entry has nothing to do with "utopia." It's based on the theory that titles don't guard you from relationship problems. Instead, it projects a false sense of security. You're more than welcome to disagree, (and I'm actually happy that you do). This is my personal take. Thanks for your opinion. I respectfully disagree.

What if you're a stay at home mother and you become pregnant with your second child? Perhaps you and your partner are very tight on money, and you are both living sort of paycheck to paycheck. Especially with two children this makes this scenario that much more possible, because, well, children are very expensive. Marriage insures you can use your partner's health insurance to take care of your children together, as well as your own health. This article is sort of a utopian ideal that is not necessarily practical to the great majority of the population (see: middle and lower class). Marriage: Tax Benefits, duh. :)
