I read today that the last comprehensive govnerment study on marriage and divorce (1998) found that the median duration for US marriage is 7.2 years. Your relationship with Jay has already outlasted over 50% of marriages. Apparently the govrenment isn't going to collect such information anymore, probably because everyone does realize that the sanctity of marriage is dead... at least in that religious, swear-to-god-to-stay-together-until-death way. People should be encouraging people who want to get married, not stopping them. I mean, the government throws away millions of dollars on campaigns and programs to encourage marriage but now are going to spend millions more preventing others from having the right to marry. Pure insanity.
