Re: Shakacon in Honolulu CFP
Having just passed an anniversary and well into our third decade as a married couple, I can tell you that marriage is an institution that requires commitment. But the same applies to an insane asylum. My wife would agree with both sides of that, too.
Marriage as a life-long thing works for some people, and not for others. It also works serially for some people. I know several of both genders who apparently like marriage for stretches of a year to a decade, and then find someone else. Rinse, repeat. It seems to suit them.
As for the government being involved, IMHO, it's none of their business. It's purely for P&R reasons that "marriage" exists in it's current state, and most of those reasons are historical. Without going into the whole P&R discussion though, we probably can't talk about it here for too much more.
