“Well, I am concerned that a lot of people are going to get married because of the emotions of the day and they’re going to make mistakes,” says Hyer. “Of course, with the rewards of a contract, there’s also duties and obligations.”
He says couples need to think long and hard about getting married, and even consider a prenuptial agreement.
“Prenuptial agreements are used to, essentially, shield future spouses’ assets from the other in the event that there is a dissolution of the marriage,” Hyer tells WCBS 880 reporter Catherine Cioffi. “I think when you look at marriage, you also have to think about the exit plan. Over 50 percent of marriages end in divorce, unfortunately, in our society today. I suspect that with same sex couples, it will be the same, or who knows, even more.”

Thanks NOM for supporting marriage and ensuring even SS couples are committed to it.
I won't be rushing into it. I've been with my partner for an incredible 18 years of love and devotion.
Wow, you will go to just about any lengths to put a damper on our day, won't you? Do you guys hang out at funerals and yell at attendees, "One of you is going to die next!"?
The advocates of SSM are in the wrong and need to be told that until they stop defending it.
"...couples need to think long and hard about getting married..."
Good advice. I hope every couple considering marriage -- no matter what the sexes or sexual orientations of each person -- takes to heart.
Unfortunately with no fault divorce in society, anyone can rush into a marriage and not be held responsible.
