My opinion to is: If the relationship makes the couple grow as individuals, grow as couple, grow for the community, grow for the betterment of mankind - then what is more to that as to blessings. If it cramples, each individuals self-esteem; if it becomes, dependency; if it destroys the very essence of being human that is to think and feel, and if destroys the very basic need of breathing that is to live - then it should not be a blessing.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('5250','Blessings'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('5250','Blessings','The post title can really spark a conversation here.\r\n\r\nMy opinion to is:\r\n\r\nIf the relationship makes the couple grow as individuals, grow as couple, grow for the community, grow for the betterment of mankind - then what is more to that as to blessings. \r\n\r\nIf it cramples, each individuals self-esteem; if it becomes, dependency; if it destroys the very essence of being human that is to think and feel, and if destroys the very basic need of breathing that is to live - then it should not be a blessing.'); return false;">Quote</a></div> The post title can really spark a conversation here.

One little problem -- the California Supreme Court ruled that sexual orientation is NOT a reason to deny us the right to marry. NOW the legislature and/or the voters must change the standing law(s).<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('2729','Jan'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('2729','Jan','Thanks for sharing your views on marriage, Remember Me.

Most of my serious relationships lasted about 3 years. However, I have been "married" to my current partner for 10 years. I honestly see us together until death do us part. And here's why. We have in our relationship a dynamic/attitude/drive that naturally fuels our commitment to each other. Both of us are constantly reaching out to the other, doing little things for each other to remind the other what a wonderful person she is and how much she is appreciated. It's not work really. It's just who we are and what we do. I don't know why I didn't have this in my previous relationships except to say that I had a lot of growing up to do before I met my wife. I had to give up a lot of my ego-based thinking. But when I did, the most wonderful relationship fell into my lap. If marriage doesn't feel right to you, that's okay. It doesn't make you bad or broken. Motherhood doesn't feel right to me, but I'm glad that there are people who are naturally drawn to be mothers. Diversity is a good thing.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('2728','Dharma Kelleher'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('2728','Dharma Kelleher','I can appreciate your perspective on this.
