What I'm still steering towards is just the lofty idea of making the idea of marriage....not so rigid, something with more choices.
Maybe I just need to think about it some more...crazy idea anyway.

There are choices though.
Some people have open marriage. Some married couples are polyamorous and are in a relationship with another couple. Some are being more of companions with no romance. Some just end their marriages. Some decide to never marry ( I know a couple with grown children, been together 30 years and never married). Some are in common law marriage. Some choose to live apart and do their own thing while legally married. Some would ndber divorce no matter what. Endless options and endless ways of conducting marriages.
Why do you think making marriage less rigid is a new idea? Or that everyone has the same view on marriage? Or that people have to be married? Are you from a very conservative background?
