Surely if you love someone you don't need a contract. It's not a ring and piece of paper that keeps people together - as can be seen by the high rates of divorce.
I can understand the reasons for it though - tradition, the idea of being symbolically attached to someone, a public celebration, tax breaks etc. Certainly, if I meet a girl and we want to start a family, I'd be happy to oblige in marrying her if that was important to HER. Personally, it doesn't matter to me - it's the relationship itself that counts.
I'm only asking in this section because I fear being preached at if I ask it somewhere else. I'm not interested in biblical reasons or "one man, one woman" or any of that bollocks. If marriage IS to mean anything then it can't be as an exclusive, heterosexual club.
