More and more people who happen to be homosexual are participating in "domestic partnerships". Pagans and other non-mainstream religious or spiritual faiths are performing their own bonding rituals among their members.
Although the original definition of marriage in the U.S. for the most part has been derived from concepts in Christianity, shouldn't we progress beyond this since now the act of marriage isn't exclusively a Christian concept?
Personally I'm fine with this concept, if two individuals want to be together in life, ideally it'll be a relationship forged by love, or at the very least, it could be a kind of business relationship between two parties who want to share assets.
To ignore love for a moment, would it seem reasonable to bar two companies from merging, if that merger would be profitable for both and harm no one? Why not the same impartiality for the union of two people?
