The Troll has been slain but I'll (sort of) take up his argument for argument's sake.
While I support everyone's right to choose whatever lifestyle they want, I don't have a high opinion of the institution of marriage. I think it's largely a security blanket for both sides. My bigger beef though is that society stigmatizes those who choose not to marry. That is not in anyone's best interest. It's similar to the social pressure to have children. The only people who do it should be the ones who genuinely WANT to do it. Reluctant marriage partners and reluctant parents alike suck. It does make great fodder for those who write soap operas though.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
