sickness and in health till death us do them part? Sounds pretty much like a
contract to me. But you are quite right that that the government has interfered with it,
manipulated it and undermined it to the point where any terms made by the
willing participants are ignored in favor of what some feminist magistrate
considers 'reasonable'. That's why there are so many aging and childless women who are unable to find
husbands. The government has taken away people's right to choose their own
marriage terms, and fewer and fewer men are willing to agree to the terms
imposed by the family law court. But they can avoid them if they avoid marriage
altogether.
