Now I've been married for twenty years, and I am nothing if not uxorious. So you know my bias, and I partially disagree. I will have to admit that the government's interest in marriage seems to be primarily financial, taxation. Beyond that, it seems to be voyeurism. I, too, have come think that government has no business in marriage, that, if anything, domestic partnerships should be for everyone.
Marriage can stay in churches.
But Mykel, I don't see the argument translating directly to an indictment of the family. That's not the family, that's the people in the family that do that stuff. Classisc baby and bath water kind of stuff. Don't condemn them all just because they are families. I don't know what to say.
