True F - true!

It means you've spent too long on BE. I'd change it if I were you. It's not good to be senior anything

It isn't as large a difference as some may think:
In 2007, Australia the median length of marriage to time of separation was 8.9 years.

In the UK the average length of marriage for divorces granted in 2003 was 11.3 years, Not sure about the time to actual seperartion date as quoted for Australia though , but I expect it to be similar.
Whilst the average length of a live-in relationship is just two years.

Only joking honey. Its a six pack down ma neck of the woods.

Speaking of which.....could you pm me?

Betroth yourself to my queries>>>

They should put marriage on a 5 year contract. if it expires you re-new it. if you're not interested then you don't...
Too easy?

I dont think I'll get married. Judging by my family's history of divorces it isnt a very clever thing to do. Think divorce could run in the family?

Yes, one of the topics I like debating the most.

And when you've got the house, the kids and the dog and then the divorce papers... Watch it all come tumbling down.

Then they had pretty poor lawyers.

Take the cans out. They'll be getting warm.

For legal reason much safer to be married. I cannot understand that if you want to live with a person why you could not be bothered to make the time to commit to one another be it in the registry office or a church.

Its like saying this will do for now and then I can leave later.

Working in legal I can tell you its not as easy as you think and the property settlements are different.

People who have been married and then enter into defacto relationships often have a nasty shock if one of them dies, the children and the former wife often inherit as the spouse has forgotten to tell superannuation etc. Superannuation trustee has the right to decide who should have the money.

Often things end up in a mess in court and if only people took half an hour out of their lives to make it more concrete and simple.

It's the magistrate that makes the decision according to the law. The lawyers are just spokes people that try to negotiate a fair settlement under the divorce rules.

No divorce happens. I didn't know any one in my family who was divorced when I was growing up - yet all my brother and sisters were divorced or separated before I got married- didn't put me off but it did show me marriage is not a bed of roses.
