How did we get left off the list?

James Dobson first made a name for himself and his group Focus on the Family back in the 1980s. I saw a series of videos he put out and thought they were quite good, addressing real family health concerns. Alas, Dobson and FotF soon became known for his anti-gay noise and he lost a great deal of credibility (except among Fundies).

Dobson has retired from leading FotF, but still writes columns for their various publications. His latest article is eleven "Great Marriage Killers" and it looks like he gives sound advice. He mentions overcommitment leading to physical exhaustion, issues of money, conflicts with in-laws, selfishness, and addictions to alcohol, gambling, and pornography.

The reason why I mention it is because of something not on the list: gay marriage. Since Massachusetts has had gay marriage since 2004 without civilization collapsing has he recognized that gay marriage doesn't kill straight marriage?
