Re: Should Governments support Marriage?

Didnt the husband used to get a better tax code and also when you purchased a house you could both get tax benefits many years ago. All of that is now out of the window. I dont think you get any benefits via the government any more for being married.

I know that when my ex husband and new wife were having a baby in the hospital the midwifes are not allowed to call them husband and wife and have to say partner so not to discriminate. Also they were the only married couple on the ward the rest of the ladies were single teenage mums or cohabiting couples.
