LOL Thinking about it - it seems that our government is moving us toward the idea that marriage is a religious ceremony and that the norm should be common-law.
Of course, Khunn and I have sat down with a lawyer and drawn up our own "trap", which we're quite happy in. But if both sets of parents treat us as married, our marriage counselor (preventative, NOT because of any serious problems) thinks we have "a wonderful marriage", the government treats us as married, and we're not particularly religious ... the best reason people come up with for why ours isn't a valid marriage is "well, well, well, it's not as valid as mine."
Six kids - that sounds like a very nice family. If Khunn and I have any more, I'll birth in a hospital because of health problems I now have, and because of my age. Blech. We seriously considered unassisted homebirth for our toddler, but it's a good thing we didn't, because I had an emergency transfer to the hospital.
I think it makes it quite clear that Huxley didn't always agree with his own work. (=
