text: Hmm. I am assuming you are writing this from the perspective of living in America? It isn't quite that bad here in UK...yet.\nI do not like the way that marriage, which is a religious ceremony - and as such, should have NOTHING to do with LAW(!) - is required for certain reasons beyond the joining of two people whom are in love.\nI would welcome the separation of marriage and law and would welcome the rewriting of vows as the only thing I can say about anything to do with religion these days is that it keeps people apart, forces sides, promotes insecurity and false hopes and least of all...is the cause of most wars in the land.
