cute article in the washington post: Abolish Marriage: let's really get the government out of our bedrooms
What a beautiful idea. Of couse, I'm pretty anti-marriage these days. I'm tired of hearing family ask if I'm gonna marry the fellar I'm living with. What is this expectation that everything must progress into some legally binding agreement? Does that stupid argreement mean I love my boyfriend more than I do now? No. Does it mean that I'm more committed to him than I am now? No. Does it mean that I'll think a little harder about leaving my honey if I have to jump through a million legal hoops to do so? No, that isn't a light decision to make in the first place. So there isn't much that marriage offers in the form of emotional involvement. It just helps out physically and logisticly, we could get insurance together and claim taxes together. To me, that make marriage a couple's buisness plan and not a union of souls that some people make it out to be.
