 Some philosophers sympathetic to the aim of including personal relationship goods on the agenda of justice deny that the principle of equal opportunities to positions of advantage – like good jobs – requires that all adults enjoy certain relationship goods, like those uniquely available through marriage. Brake (2017) illustrates this claim with the case of gay people who can have equal opportunities for advantageous jobs without having access to marriage. It seems, however, that, if the arguments at  3.2  are correct, some decent social contact that goes beyond occasional social interactions with strangers is necessary for mental health and hence also for equality of opportunity. Further, if the principle of fair equality of opportunity applies to all positions of advantage, it should also apply to marriage.
