Welcome to "the rest or your life. " These words

engaged to be married. Encouraging words are

and joys versus the pain and sadness. A formal
definition gives us the scient...

... miles with same-sex and opposite-sex parents
were quoted at the September 1996 Circuit Court
trial in Hawaii, where the original case for
homosexual marriage was tried. The studies showed
that the genders of the parents are unimportant to
the quality of child-rearing, but that family
