It is saddening how much marriage has lost its value in modern society. The legal part of it is really a very small matter, u can really do without it. I mean the fundamental part being the couple and the relationship. People need to not be so casual about it.
Quit makin it legal just so u can have guilt free hanky panky , get rich, gain some sort of notoriety. Those things are psychological and the mind can never understand matters of the heart. That's why love seems so stupid when u think about it. These days there are people in the 20s who have more than one divorces under their belts. Really? Especially women, not every guy who promises you the world will actually fulfill that promise.

As for the legal aspects of marriage, it's got plenty to do with the care and support of children, inheritance and property rights, rights that include making life-saving (or life-ending) medical decisions and much more. To dismiss all that seems illogical, especially while referring to people who take marriage lightly. Those people, and how they treat marriage, are what's irrelevant.
