Good rant. Took parts of OP's post just enough out of context and had just enough of a hysterical drunken tone.

Thanks. I am glad you liked it. I was in a preachy mood last night for some reason.

I'm actually getting a little fired up about the conventions of marriage in this country now. It's just crazy to me that marriage is supposed to solve all these problems. Having a baby? get married! Unstable life? Need someone to latch onto? Get married! (for fundamentalist christians) Really want to get laid? Get married!
People who shouldn't or don't need to get married seem to get married more than people who really want to make a family together. Or, as you pointed out, they already "made a family" together, and now they're panicking. 9 times out of 10, they're going to not only get divorced, but screw up the lives of their families, friends, and kid(s). It just makes me sick. And don't even get me started on fundies. Ugh.
