Linda Lou Taylor has been married 23 times...wouldn't you get jaded after the first 15 or so?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

M$I think that lady is crazy though. I don't see what can make someone marry so many times. Maybe she's a product of her time. She marries anyone she wants to sleep with?!

How would you feel about allowing the state to only issue civil union certificates, and leave marriage completely up to religious organizations? I realize that tax and other laws would have to be changed.
She's 68 now and hasn't been married in 12 years. So she would be a product of the 40's and 50's. She says she would like to get married again because she's lonely, but I'd say the odds get worse at her age.
I think religious organizations have co-opted the term marriage. They claim ownership over a term that's inherently social in nature. Marriage is a social and legal institution. Religion has mostly only been used to legitimize it as a way of justifying property rights over women. Marriage has always been about property and ownership. It's possibly one of the worldliest institutions I can think of. Love and marriage were completely independent of each other until now.
Using the term civil unions puts LGBT people in a "separate but equal situation". If gays, lesbians, etc are to be considered totally equal under the law then they should have marriage too or everybody should have civil unions.
I would imagine (I'm a bachelor myself) that marrying gets easier after you do it a few times. You would probably know the drill, from first date to filing the divorce papers.
I see absolutely nothing wrong with her marrying 23 or more people of any gender, in any order, or in any combination. It's strictly her business, and good luck to her!

I don't know if King Solomon's 1000 wives is more hyperbole than anything else. While I don't question that he existed one can't deny the Bible's tendency to embellish.
While the bible often exaggerates, a large number of wives is not that uncommon among ancient and/or oriental kings and emperors. A Chinese Emperor had 10,000 wives, it is said. King Solomon didn't have the record number, just the best reputation for wisdom.
That is a great point! It feels extremely wrong that one person can get married and divorced that many times - while other people in our community aren't even allowed to do it once. To get married 23 times seems ridiculous. Most people haven't had 23 partners, let alone spouses.
While I can relate with the point about gay marriage, a law that limits how many times you can marry is patently unconstitutional (in the United States). The right to marry is a fundamental right, which is why preventing gays from marrying is horrible and unconstitutional as well.
