From the New York Times Department of the Obvious

Four years after Massachusetts became the first state to allow gay couples to marry, there have been blissful unions, painful divorces and everything in between. Some same-sex couples say being married has made a big difference, and some say it has made no difference at all. There are devoted couples who have decided marriage is not for them, couples whose lawyers or accountants advised them against marrying, and couples in which one partner wants to marry but the other does not.

That's from Pam Belluck's not-so-stunning story in the New York Times, which goes to show that there's no social trends story the Times won't run that the Onion already ran four years ago. Really, delete the words "gay" and "same-sex" and I'd say the lede applies to all couples contemplating marriage
