Marriage is such a hard question to deal with. I'm not sure why so many people have a need to create a legal definition. It seems like there are several different angles to view marriage from:
- Family unit (if you want kids then one man and one woman seems to work best - unless you want lots of kids in which case many women are good.)
- Partnership - to run the househole
- Companionship - just someone to keep you company.
- Free sex - cause you can't afford to keep paying?
- Tax breaks
- Insurance benefits
- Romance
- Free housekeeping and child care services
I supose you could go on forever. I think that the states just want to collect funds from people who are getting married though. Pay us $80 for a marriage license and we'll give you a tax discount later...don't know why they would care who or what you married at that point.
