What worries many folk is the shambolic state of heterosexual marriage in this country. Expensive and sometimes over the top hen nights, stag nights
and wedding days seem to be de rigeur, yet the concept of sticking together in a marriage no longer seems fashionable even when there are children to consider. Men can do what they like about homosexual weddings as far as I am concerned.

Divorce rate 42 per cent in 2012 . [Source: Office of National Statistics] There has been a steady decline in divorces over the years and the rate is almost back to 1970s levels.
It will still be a high level compared to the level in the good old days when couples felt obliged to stay together in name, divorce being harder to get and still carrying a stigma. When 'no fault' (irretrievable breakdown) divorces came in, practitioners were swamped with cases of wives who had been married for many years and who then took the opportunity to be free.
Not sure how expensive weddings, stag nights, or hen nights could be an indicator of future failure of marriages. Do couples who marry on the cheap have longer marriages, until death do part?

Yes - we've held off until the outcome of these votes.
I'm not 100% sure whether this vote settles is - does anyone know? Is this it, or will there be more challenges?
Anyway, definitely not going for a 2014 marriage - planning next year and implementation in 2015.
Like everyone else, I want the opportunity to get married, put on weight and spend a startling amount of time complaining about being tied down...
