RE: Marriage: Not A Course For Intercourse
Would it make it more or less difficult to fulfil a "parenting commitment" if we just lived together and made babies? Yes, marriage is rooted in a "property transfer", which is more than ugly, but the waters are so muddy now, its difficult to see clearly. Here's a paraphrase of Walter Scott:
Oh what a tangled web we weave,
When first we venture to conceive!

For hundreds of thousands of years families were communal. They were made out of 20-35 people. I see no reason why we can't do this today
That's right! Villages, hamlets, backstreets. So many people move around all the time now, we need to imagine some different way of achieving this.
