Marriage and Shacking Up

Kathryn Jean Lopez at NRO's Corner blog notes:

I did read the Brad Pitt–Angelina Jolie piece Drudge highlighted from it this weekend. I couldn't help it — and I couldn't help but think that it's some kind of jarring cultural milestone when a couple that isn't even married may be headed to a divorce.

....

Take it for what it is — gossip. But it is true that non-marriages that mimic marriages don't tend to end well.

While we're protecting marriage in the law, we need to be protecting it, period. Making it attractive. Making clear it means something.
