Marriage is an economic and government contract

Yes it is. I was married for 7 years and it sucked. Now I've been with my boyfriend for 8 and have never been happier. I told him when we met if he was interested in getting married he needed to walk away then bc I'm NEVER doing it again. He laughed and said, "OK". 8 years later he lives at his house, I have my own and we are the happiest couple I know. No need to sign something so the other person has access to your possessions. The best advice I give to my son is if he ever decides to get married to NEVER, EVER share a bank account. Each has their own and on joint that they put the money in to pay bills each month. I know some of you will have differing opinions, but all of my married friends that are having issues right now say it's over money. Fuck that. I have mine and you have yours and we are both responsible for what we have together.

You must be an anomaly of sorts

I agree, it's no longer a religious thing.. In pretty sure if married people were taxed the same as single people then there would be a lot less people trying to get same sex marriages

Or different sex marriages

Not really. Most of my female friends are seeing things this way after they divorce. Too bad we fucked up and got married in the first place, but live and learn. HA!

Yup, nothing more these days then redistribution of wealth. You can thank women for that one as well. They even figured out how to turn marriage into socialism.

Only slaves ask permission from their masters for a piece of paper that says marriage license.

And the kicker they pay money for this contract.

Agreed. Most women go nuts if a man says "no way" to marriage.

Women love to say this kinda crap AFTER they divorce the man and bleed him dry of all his financial assets.

One of my college economics professor didn't know that a license is technically a contract (the real shit college should teach you...).
It was a course called Poverty and Discrimination in Economics and we were talking about how marriage affects income and yadda, yadda, yadda...
I make a point to tell that class that we're not understanding the concept correctly because everyone thinks marriage is some religious thing that the gov't manages because it's like the noble thing to do! Nope, marriage is regulated be the state to track property ownership, income/ revenue, and there's problem some way the state makes money by issuing these licenses.
We posses a capacity that we can't even comprehend, so we sure as hell ain't going to use it.
With real knowledge the people can be free.

Was that tuition worth the money?

you never get equality by granting privilege to groups or partnerships over individuals.

Marriage is big business

The problem is the rejection of the truth - Western world changed the meanings.
First the Papacy and later the Protestant supporters sailed far from the reality of the marriage.
Sure, the big corporation (the State) must "eat" = takes money from people and from their association.
In such bad thinking mind of westerners, the marriage is just a joint "something" and the State is somehow protecting and somehow using the association nand its activity (meaning the.... family life,income included).
The State forced the Church to wait for the official paper to be issued - meaning the matter became the priority, defying the fundamentals of the spiritual union.
The next step is - sadly to say - , corrupted.
Anybody can join anybody, not big deal if is a different faith ... if any.... or no religious service at all!
Or... kind of personal party rituals, with personal god - only a demon, to be precise.
BOTTOM LINE:
A man and a woman are uniting the souls and will create a new being under the Holy Spirit "work" if the celebration is done by a Christian priest.
Christian is Orthodox only - the other self-named churches or denominations left the Christianity replacing the teaching, removing the tradition, making new and opposite texts... all are under "anathema" - out of the theme of the Church of Jesus Christ.
So, like it or not - there's no baptism,no marriage and no Holy Spirit there... only the reckless man/woman being dumped with lies and ...united in business, two corporate entities, subjects of nothingness, indeed enslaved ones.
This is the reason that the gays are good for the State - they pay.
They are not good for life - can't and will never be able to be parents, just sick... false "attempts"... if not sexual child perversions and end of the society.
Is not fine to reject the religion but to make the State to "come" under the people not above the people.
And do not forget - to remove religion from your mind is to walk with one leg - the materialism and know nothing about the soul, as the spiritual side of you.
... Because the human being is made by two and only two partitions: the SOUL and the BODY, nothing more.
There's no body-mind-soul! This is pagan belief; the mind is a tiny "piece"of the soul.
You remove the spiritual side, the soul and take only the temptations, the pleasures... this is doing the animal, too.
