Mariage and metaphysics.

the american street: On marriage....

What marriage does--in a legal sense, is make sure that both parties (and their families) have recourse if the deal would somehow fall through (divorce, death, extra-marital offspring). there's nothing in that little slip 'o cardboard that the government gives you that tells you what marriage requires, outside of being of a certain legal age to enter into the contractual agreement. No "love" or "children" or "don't go sniffin' around the henhouse now and again if you know what's good for you..."
