Also, there is a degree to which such studies are inherently biased in any case... which is that homosexual couples know they cannot be married, and that creates a different psychological state from a heterosexual couple that knows marriage is a real possibility. Such a psychological state would be likely to include a lesser committment to the relationship, with lower stakes attached. But that is speculation. I also did see one study that said (as of 1995) Denmark had had gay marriage/partnership for 6 years and only 5% of gays had married, and 28% of those had ended in death or divorce in those 6 years. Which given the divorce rate in Scandinavian countries overall is higher than 28... (I will reGoogle and find the precise citation for the study if you wish... I don't have it at the moment).
