im not saying people have to do or cant do anything, im saying that a worry is that turning marriage into something that is purely about two adults can have bad effects. it seems like it could have went down 1 of 2 routes to me. !. marriage is serious and is for all to do, but you have to take the responsibility of taking it serious and not just breaking up and not try to hold it together. to keep the idea that marriage is a lasting bond/contract 2. marriage is no big deal, let anyone do what they want with it and effect how its seen socially. personally i like route 1, as route 2 can have victims in the from of kids with single parents
