I think they need to let go of marriage and just base taxes on households. If two people live together why can't they do their taxes together as a household if they wish? What difference does it make what they call their relationship or whether or not they are having sex? No matter what type of marriage you support this should be something everyone can get behind. We need less government in our personal affairs. And along the same lines, why should anyone need the government's permission to decide to sever a relationship that isn't working? If there is a fight over property or children then the courts can still be involved and sometimes are even when there is no official marriage. But if two people can split up amicably even when children are involved, why should money be wasted on courts and lawyers?</p></blockquote><p></p>
