2 of my adult children are in a 'civil partnership', the other 3 are married. It is often the norm over here (Holland).It's up to them, I don't mind either way.I makes no difference at all. |

On Radio 5 live now , they are discussing the subject "Would gay marriage strengthen the institute of marriage" and someone has just asked the question that I have on this thread. |

Civil partnerships between heterosexual couples are both accepted and legal in Spain. As far as I know, the couple have the same rights as ones who are married, although what the difference is between them and a registry office wedding I´m not sure. |

From what I understand Lolly, marriage in a registry office, is marriage as we know/knew it. A Civil Partnership is not a marriage as we know it, but a legal contract of some sort. |

Religion keeps being brought into this question but as I see it that is a side issue. |

I was of the same opinion as Lolly I thought partnership was the new PC for marriage like life partner is the PC word for husband :-D |

Meerkat I did say that rules are for the guidance of wise men. It often happens now in churches that one partner is not a Christian at all. |

An interesting Question...I had never considered before, having imagined a civil partnership was on a par with a registry office wedding |

If they have no Civil Partnership (with a bit of paper) perhaps they ought to lie and say they have? There's bound to be loads of hetrosexual couples who aren't married who say they are! |

Lynda, please excuse me for talking about christians but christian marriages do not have to be two believers in christ. |
