Since 1970 relationships can be more volatile jobs more ephemeral geographical mobility more intensified stability of marriage weaker.

But I will agree that I think that things happen with people in relationships that you might have been able to enjoy Morocco say if you weren't getting out of a bad marriage. You know what I mean?

I've had two terrific relationships but both ended in marriage.

I never had a policy about marriage. I got married very young in life and I always think in all relationships I've always thought that it's counterproductive to have a theory on that.

I have no difficulty with the recognition of civil unions for non-traditional relationships but I believe in law we should protect the traditional definition of marriage.

I have not supported same-sex marriage. I have supported civil partnerships and contractual relationships.

A lot of what I've been learning in the last two years is due to therapy - about my sexuality why things go wrong why relationships haven't worked. It isn't anything to do with anybody else it's to do with me.

We're learning how important it is both to preserve sibling relationships if they work and repair them if they're broken. We're also learning a lot about nonliteral siblings - stepsiblings half-siblings - and the surprising power they can have.

I'm just learning who I am and how relationships work and how to make them function. No different from anyone else.

Such manifestations I account as representing the creative leadership of the new forces of thought and appreciation which attend changes in technological pattern and therefore of the pattern of human relationships in society.
