marriage does not work for men and women that wanted to be treated as equals
there is always an eliment of enslavement and entrapment in marriage
It is an institution that seems to work for "yes" men and men who like to be dominated by woman or for women whose life is a disaster and they need help bad and are prepared to be subservient.
strong minded independent people are much better off alone.
I personally think the best solution is "partnerships" and separate abodes.
