RE: REPOST 1/10: Why I don't wear a wedding ring - philosophy and advice for my children
You say you shouldn't get married and don't need a piece of paper but then say "If you are in a serious relationship and cohabit, draw up a legal contract to ensure fair financial terms, during, and for after the relationship, especially if children are involved."
From a legal standpoint, this is almost exactly what a marriage is. The non-legal part of marriage is whatever your faith or philosophy says it is.
Good point. Maybe without specific marriage contracts, legal stuff can be more fine tuned. Maybe it is the rather rigid philosophical, religious and social constraints and mostly expectations of traditional marriage papers that disturb me?
