Marriage seems to be waning in importance. During the early development of our civilizations marriage was often a necessity to sustain life. It took a tight bond between a husband and wife to provide for the basic necessities of a family. Modern advances have made it possible and very common for one parent to take care of not only his or her own needs but that of any children.
Many people, including the leaders of TSCC, hold onto marriage and defend it based on incorrect principles. The necessity of marriage has nothing to do with some sky daddy or the foundation of society today. They are holding onto something from a bygone era and defending it based on their own mistaken beliefs.
Marriage is an quaint social custom. However, I would argue that it should be stripped of all legal ramifications and cease to be the purview of the court system. A marriage should be a private choice made by a couple that is not recognized by the state. The perks given to married couples actually represent discrimination against single people.
