My spouse of 10 years is the child of serially married and divorced boomers. After seeing one of the parental units go through marriage #3 as a teenager they have zero interest in the whole song and dance and I don't blame them. Anyways, married or not, the feelings are the same and we go on living life the way we want to. Who cares?
Also, if civil marriages didn't exist today and I tried to propose "hey, let's invent a system where you register who you're fucking with the government", you'd think i was insane. Rightly so.

- zrezzed 3y ago> you'd think i was insane I don't think so at all. In general, society (ours, and afaict all others too) has a vested interest in the formation and preservation of family units. This seems pretty obvious to me, for various economic, cultural and moral reasons.
