[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let the haters hate, no one should have to endure misery indefinitely. Once you decide it's over, why drag it out another second?[/quote]

I do wish the law reflected people's opinion now. It really should reflect that this is a temporary contract - the disposal of assets and dealing with kids should reflection of that. Get rid of the idea of for richer and poorer sickness and health. [/quote]
The law does reflect that by allowing divorce.  "For richer and poorer, sickness and health" is not in law.  It's just a ritual phrase people say. It's not binding.[/quote]

I'm pretty sure that that the whole saying vows as well as the vows themselves which are from the Book of Common Prayer is a Western Christianity (as opposed to Eastern Christianity) thing. The fact that the justice of the peace or whatever in a civil marriage lets you say vows  is reflective of how deeply embedding in American culture Christianity is, its not part of the legal definition of marriage.   They allow couples to do the whole traditional marriage at courthouses to be kind but you don't have to- you just have to sign the certificate, kind of like the menorah on the whitehouse lawn- it doesn't mean the President is celebrating hanukkah.
