I just don't believe in marriage as an institution; especially when it's such a farce for so many people to begin with. Kicking this sacred cow has consequences so my feeling is, let's not make it sacred. If consenting adults want to do whatever, let them do whatever.
I've got no problem with anyone who wants to get divorced if there are no children involved since that kind of breakup (no matter how smooth people try to make it) will have negative consequences.
I agree entirely that marriage, especially with its cultural underpinnings of extravagance and expense, is just so much bullshit.
But it's there in huge numbers, people do it for all the wrong reasons, and there's no obvious way out of that for a few decades. So in the meantime I'm going to celebrate anyone who can unwind the miseries of people subjected to this nonsense. Keeping people out of court is very much a good thing.
I don't think many people consider "for better or worse" or "until death" as literals anymore (if they ever really did). If you can't really commit to those promises, don't get married.
