    Two people bound together for life for the purposes of creating a family

      “You shouldn’t use marriage to stop yourself being legally chained to your parents. The purpose of marriage is to legally chain you to your spouse.”

      If people could “divorce” their parents you wouldn’t have to worry about this.

      Yeah, you can miss me with the religious bullshit. This is a legal loophole in a legal system.

        If it was for religious reasons, I would have specified it as a “man and a woman”

          Then what is your basis for it only being between two people? You’re defining it just like religion does because that’s where you got the idea even if you don’t realize it.

        Only as a last resort. You shouldn’t get married without intending to stay together for life.

      Only two? That seems needlessly restrictive. Is it for religious reasons? Church and state should be separated.

        Also, if it’s more than two, that’s not a marriage; that’s a group chat.
