 THAT is a disgusting thing to say, and in no way provable. Not funny..

We fail to agree.

No it's about excising someone's belief system from a ritual, running a small sample group and claiming that it invalidates the belief system. I actually thing all weddings should be more humanist and less religious. I'm just not buying the correlation to a person's belief in God lessens the viability of the union.

.............what about that invalidates your belief system?

The reason that "god"lessens the viability of a union is that the term is a catchall...two people use the worship word and often don't realize that it means or covers for more or different sins than the other had in mind. I;ve always snickered at divorce rates in the confluence of christian propoganda....did you fuckers not realize that the people who's marriages were failing at an enormous rate were, by brute force of demographics, "christians"....?

Y'all don't actually agree on anything, and never have. The things you pretend not to disagree on for political convenience are important in a marriage. OFC any union that lays all that dissambulation aside fares better.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Quote:Scottish couples who chose a humanist wedding are less likely to divorce than those who had other types of marriage ceremony, figures for the BBC suggest.

Humanist weddings have been legal in Scotland since 2005 and are now more popular than Church of Scotland and Roman Catholic weddings combined.
Marriage experts said divorce rates across the UK generally were declining. They said other factors could determine whether couples stayed together, such as age, wealth and shared values.
