Being married Quote by Rose Byrne
“The concept of growing up is so hard to quantify. What have you learned and how have you changed and how have you stayed exactly the same? As I get older, it's something I reflect on more and more. Especially as the generations go on. We wait longer to have families, we wait longer to have responsibilities. Everyone used to be married by 20 and pregnant immediately.”

![“A lot of people [are] saying civil union," Faried told KDVR. "I don't like it being called that because I can get married to a female and it can be called a marriage. Why can't a female be married to a female and male be married to a male and it be called a marriage? You still have the same thing…” quote by Kenneth Faried](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/ccf/kenneth-faried-106860_because-i-can_a-lot-of-people-are-saying-civil-union-f_31787.jpg)
