Threaten marriage…

Why the hell should we protect marriage like it’s an animal in danger of going extinct? It’s just a custom. I know a lot of people who have neen together for over a decade as a couple perfectly happy to never marry and they are often the strongest and most long lived couplings I know.

Shouldn’t we just be advocating for the happiness of people and not whether or not a bit of legal paper is signed as a meteic of success?
