Well played. Marriage is a power play with indentured servitude backed by the state, nothing more. 'Love' has nothing to do with it.GhengisT said:
I would argue that you can have a healthier, more loving relationship outside of marriage. With constant (albeit subdued with time) competition anxiety, you will both be 'on your toes'. You're still on equal footing. Marriage swings it heavily in her favor.
Let's put it this way. If you signed a document that allowed you to behave however you wanted and if your partner was displeased you could walk away with half their stuff or at least a portion of it (in most cases), why wouldn't you do it? It would be a win-win for you.
