Constitutional Separation Of Church And State So How Can The State Divorce Us Comments

James, NICE POEM! ! ! five stars. I guess, if one partner desires a church, temple, mosque etc. ceremony to remain in force, one can always think in their hear/mind that it does, though not legally. ;) bri

In my experience, one partner has to request a divorce and I'm not sure if the 'other partner' can refuse forever. I'm not sure. I get married rather than just live with someone else in order to help preserve a union of partners.

I don't think anyone in the U.S. is forced to get married by any legal ceremony. It's voluntary. Likewise, I don't think anyone is 'forced' physically to submit to a divorce.

I've been through four marriage ceremonies, one religious (in a church) and 3 civil ceremonies (conducted in a judge's home, a town hall, and a county office building.)

I give five stars nonetheless aka 'however'. The title seems to imply that the 'state' has laws, made by politicians, not God, which promote the end/disolution of a marriage sanctioned by a religious authority. (cont.)

I read the poem and the word 'highfalutin' came to my mind, though I may not understand what its definitions express exactly (there are 3 I found) . I probably haven''t heard the word in 40 or 50 years. (cont.)
