Yes, it's different as civil partnerships have only recently been legalised. It seems many rushed in to it as a statement against prejudice as opposed to why couple really should be together.

Generally, they take them more seriously than many people who get married. The people who go for it are older, have been together longer and have more committed relationships. That's why we won't see the 40 per cent or 50 per cent divorce rates we see in heterosexual marriages,' he |
