I personally believe that marriage is nothing more then the States sanctioning of love. I disagree with it for two reasons. First, it is creating a special class of people. Married couples can get special tax benefits that unmarried couples can not. Second, people should only be together as long as they are happy together. If your partner constantly is irritating you and you no longer want to spend time with them or no longer love them, then it only seems natural to move on. Most of marriage comes from religion, which I think most people know how I feel about that. I want the State to stay out of my personal life as much as possible; I am for abolishing all marriage on the State level and making it a solely private interaction. But I am a radical nutcase.
