A Welsh lesbian wedding on "Little Britain"
Wedded gay and lesbian couples from Wales in the United Kingdom are far more likely to stay together than married straight couples.
While a quarter of marriages end in divorce within five years, just 3.2% of civil partnerships have been dissolved since they were introduced in December 2005. Only 47 of 1,447 civil partnerships have been dissolved (it’s not divorce in nearly equal but unequal UK)
According to one relationship counsellor interviewed by South Wales Echo newspaper, Denise Knowles, “People are entering into them because they desperately want to, not because they feel they ought to.”
Exactly.

I kind of expected this to be the fact, but lacked the evidence to prove it and make it part of my argument for marriage equality. Now we all have the evidence.
