defense of marriage? [View All]

[ellenfl]

so i have been hearing the last couple of days that women are opting to be single and that single women now comprise the largest segment of the population. what do you think this will do to the 'sanctity of marriage' crowd and do you think all of the marriage bru-ha-ha has caused this move to single-dom?

i have been happily single for 56 years but have been in a committed relationship for the last 9 years. honey worries that i will eventually want to marry him but i have indicated just the opposite. i guess technically i am no longer single. forutnately, his company allows him to have me on his health insurance policy. otherwise, i wouldn't have any health insurance. also fortunately, i live in a state that does not recognize common law marriage. :evilgrin:

so, what are your thoughts on this trend? as a (more or less) single woman, i like it. imo, it means that there are more progressives out there than conservative pundits (and promise keepers) would have us believe.
