There is a growing debate in Britain about the Law governing couples, married or otherwise. I may have a solution!?
Turn marriage ceremonies into a non-legally binding event and create Domestic Contracts and Emotional Contracts. Domestic Contracts would cover money, belongings and residence etc while Emotional Contracts would cover other issues. This is not properly thought through so may require revision!

Just read this http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/this_britain/article2819931.ece, which seems quite interesting.
Well the best way to do marriage would be: A civil ceremony for any one who wants to be together. A church blessing ceremony for all Christians. Its disgusting that non born again Christians get married in a church and make vows before God, when they have not even submitted their lives and life decisions (e.g. marriage partner) to God.

I believe that marriage and unions between people who love each other is a beautiful thing. As much negativity as exists in the world, this is one aspect of life which is always positive: it represents union, love, and hope for the future. I do not think that government should have any say in who does or doesn't marry, and I agree it is strange for non-Christians who do not believe in God to make vows before God in a Christian church. However, it isn't necessarily a bad thing; after all, vows before God are still vows before God. sight to the blind, I agree with your opinion on how marriage should be handled. Hopefully I am not going off-topic here, but I wrote an essay for my English 1101 essay last year on the topic of American family structures, and in this essay I discussed gay and lesbian marriage. I had, at the time, heard quite a few comments along the lines of gay/lesbian marriages being destructive to young minds; this could not be further from the truth. A child exposed to gay/lesbian people at a young age is less likely to be 'psychologically damaged' by the experience, not more. If you shelter a child from a particular aspect of life until their teens, then adjustment is much more difficult at this time; exposure early is key, just as in languages. The fact is, social stigma toward homosexuality causes children far more psychological damage than the homosexuality itself. I support any kind of love between people, gay or straight; this world needs all the love it can get.
