Didn't she learn after the first time?
TBH, I don't get the whole marriage thing anymore. Basically it's saying you want someone else all to yourself so badly you want to involve the government. I had a 17 year long marriage. 2 kids and a house. Marriage doesn't mean they stay. It's pointless if you ask me.

It's pointless if you ask me.It's only pointless when one or more parties doesn't understand how to love someone in action. Love is consistently putting someone else before yourself no matter what comes in return. Love is letting your mother lash out on you emotionally because she's been stressed out for weeks and you'd rather her take it out on you than someone else in the family. Considering what I know of your first wife I'd say she doesn't really understand this concept and stopped "loving" you the moment the feeling went away.People in marriages look at their partner as a romantic interest instead of a family member and that's the worst possible way to go about it. Romance fades, the love you have for your family doesn't.

It's a little more permanent than simply being in common law, and that's why you're entitled to tax breaks and stuff. The government should be rewarding couples for perptuating good family values.I'm not sure if that's a good enough answer for you, but it's the best I got.
I am going to have to disagree with you. There isn't a "good" family value. Just family values. And couples have very little to do with said values.

The government should be rewarding couples for perpetuating family values, and marriage is a good way to demonstrate that your partner is significant enough to be considered family.Parents pass on their values to their children if they're convincing enough, so yeah, couples have everything to do with it.

Single parents do a great job.I don't think anybody's saying otherwise just that kids are usually better off with two parents.
And I am saying that the number of parents is irrelevant.
