Marriage an Unnecessary Institution
November 26th, 2007
I feel quite strongly that marriage is a completely useless and often harmfull institution that should long ago have been abandoned. I was pleased, therefore, to read an article in the New York Times today about taking marriage back from church and state. Marriage, in my opinion, should be a private contractual agreement between two people. This agreement would not be a one-size-fits-all contract like today’s legal marriages are but one in which the two parties pick and choose the rights and responsibilities that are best for them.
