			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;I think we have to make our own rules,&#8221; <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron_Diaz" target="_blank">Diaz</a> <a href="http://www.denverpost.com/lifestyles/ci_17990951" target="_blank">explains</a>. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think we should live our lives in relationships based off old traditions that don&#8217;t suit our world any longer.&#8221;<span id="more-3390"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">38-year-old <a href="http://www.cameron-diaz.org/" target="_blank">Cameron Diaz</a> recently shares with <a href="http://www.elleuk.com/in-the-mag/feature/(section)/she-who-dares/(page)/2" target="_blank">Elle Magazine</a>, &#8221;I think a lot of people are married to people that they’re not romantic with any more. I just didn’t ever marry anybody that I then had to get divorced from. We break up. We move on.&#8221; Click <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VihlsPKMh4U" target="_blank">here</a> to view the theaterical trailer of Diaz&#8217;s new movie, <em><a href="http://www.areyouabadteacher.com/" target="_blank">Bad Teacher</a></em>, in which she co-stars with ex-boyfriend, <a href="http://www.justintimberlake.com/" target="_blank">Justin Timberlake</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.evamendes.com/home.html" target="_blank">Eva Mendes</a> has also <a href="http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-04-28/news-interviews/29482060_1_marriage-tradition-rebel" target="_blank">shared</a> her thoughts on why marriage is not as necessary as society makes it and dismissed it as a &#8216;very old tradition&#8217;. The bombshell actress, who&#8217;s been dating filmmaker <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2104553/" target="_blank">George Augusto</a> for almost a decade, insists that she will never walk down the aisle &#8211; because married life is &#8216;boring&#8217;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;I just don&#8217;t think marriage is necessary, as necessary as society makes it. And I don&#8217;t have a negative point of view on it. I just think it&#8217;s a very old tradition and if you look back to what marriage symbolizes in the first place&#8230; it has nothing to do with why we get married today,&#8221; the <a href="http://www.express.co.uk/home" target="_blank">Daily Express</a> quoted her as saying.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Other celebrities have publicly <a href="http://www.thefrisky.com/post/246-9-celebs-who-wont-get-married-until-gay-marriage-is-legal/P2/" target="_blank">announced</a> their views on marriage in today&#8217;s society. They speak out on how marriage today clings to outdated notions, especially as it applies to the definition of the picturesque married couple.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Stars like <a href="http://jasonmraz.com/" target="_blank">Jason Mraz</a>, <a href="http://brangelina.net/" target="_blank">Brangelina</a>, <a href="http://www.natalieportman.com/" target="_blank">Natalie Portman</a> and <a href="http://www.rickymartinmusic.com/" target="_blank">Ricky Martin</a> have nothing against the idea of creating a legal and long lasting union, but have refused to walk down that aisle until Congress, or at least state legislatures, say that gay couples can marry too.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.charlizetheron.com/" target="_blank">Charlize Theron</a> gave the same rational every time someone asked her why she and ex-boyfriend, <a href="http://www.stuarttownsend.org/" target="_blank">Stuart Townsend</a>, weren’t getting married. “I don’t want to get married because right now the institution of marriage feels very one-sided, and I want to live in a country where we all have equal rights,” she told <a href="http://www.popeater.com/2009/09/18/charlize-theron-wont-get-married-until-gay-friends-can/" target="_blank">PopEater</a>. “I have so many friends who are gays and lesbians who would so badly want to get married, that I wouldn’t be able to sleep with myself.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.avvo.com/attorneys/32814-fl-jeffrey-feulner-1246843.html" target="_blank">Attorney Jeffrey Feulner</a> and the <a href="http://www.mensdivorcelaw.com" target="_blank">Men&#8217;s Divorce Law Firm</a> believe that the choice to wed or not to wed lies with the individual. It is important to put forth your own unique circumstances rather than allow outside influences to dictate your lifestyle and personal choices.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As most of you probably know, gay marriage was outlawed in 2008 in the state of California. As a comedic comeback to the new law, a web designer named John Marcotte wants to put in an option on the ballot next year to ban divorce.<span id="more-814"></span> His reasoning? If the state of California bans gay marriage to protect the &#8220;sanctity&#8221; of marriage, then shouldn&#8217;t divorce be banned to protect the &#8220;sanctity&#8221; also?</p>
