Marriage Sale! Low Low Price only this week!

On September 1st over 650 new laws will be in effect. One of those new laws is a law that doubles the cost of a marriage license. I don't know about yall, but I think that paying double for a marriage license will probably not decrease divorces. Doesn't make much sense to me but whatever. The bill was filed by Rep. Chisum and sponsored in the Senate by Senator Estes (yes he does work! I was surprised, too) Take advantage of the low price this week.

Check out the list of other bills in the Chron.

What other items could we come up with to protect the sanctity of marriage? No gays. Check. Less accessibility to a license. Check. Government coming in to confirm missionary position sexual intercourse? BINGO! We have a winner! Pick up your prize at the next legislative session with Representative Chisum and his band of marriage Nazis!
