amicus said:Couture, whose views I do not appreciate, in an offhand way, made a very valid point.
What is the purpose of a marriage contract, granted and approved by the ruling authority?
On a wider scope, what is the purpose of a sanctioned marriage?
the curious amicus
I think it has something or another to do with circumcision.
But seriously, there are some benefits to marriage. First, you don't have to listen to people always asking, "Are you married yet?" There are also benefits when a spouse dies, to adopt children, and also to gain US citizenship.
The point of the original post is that the surest way to strengthen marriage is to end divorce. Make it like the old days when you were either Catholic or you were Catholic.
