Statistics still say twentysomethings are unattached. Marriage is trendy. because the issue is forced to the top of the gay consciousness these kids expect it.

Life is about choosing the best of the good options you've got and living it to the extreme. I can't be a firefighter and a model and president and a problogger and a SAHM...at least I couldn't do any of them very well if I tried to do them all. I think marriage/commitment/monogamy is the same way. You pick who you like best and you live the hell out of that relationship. That's not to say it'll always work, but I think it's possible. We talked a bit about this in my GSA. Most people expressed the desire to be married someday as well as the fear that their parents wouldn't take it seriously (this being at a Christian college). I think it's seen as a real possibility nowadays and even quite normal. (I hear ya on the pod people. cute but slightly off...maybe they're smiling too much, like those 50's housewives.) @Jansen, I agree.

My husband and I are both in our 20s and were married in Mass before moving down to MD. I easily related to those guys. Hey, thanks for posting that article.

I personally think that if you can't be monogamous with your partner, it's probably time to split up. @Corinne: Maybe a little but I’ll still come with an awesome gift and get really drunk at your reception.

Around 5th grade I realized that I had only one friend whose parents weren't divorced. His parents divorced the next year, and then mine the year after. I also found the the pictures in the article creepy. Haha. Very Stepford. I don't understand why monogamous relationships can't work. I suspect that if monogamy is an issue, then you really don't like the person enough, or you're not that invested in the relationship. Your right about the prenup.
