marriages

People tend to harbor a fascination with marriages. We want to know who is getting married to whom in the celebrity world, and how many marriages they have had. For ordinary people who have had multiple marriages, celebrity divorces are a consolation that even the famous can suffer the pain and frustration of great romantic love turned sour.

Many also follow the legal path that gay marriages have taken in various states. Most have some level of conviction about gay marriages on moral or legal grounds.

We click on sites in the blogosphere with the latest gossip on how extravagantly the rich and famous tie the knot. And with equal fervor, we look for help in saving our own marriages from neglect, emotional cheating, and from losing its zing.
