[MD] until death do us part

[MarshaV]

Hi Matt,


Hi Matt, 

It's no big deal.  It's an ailing social pattern.  I'm 
trying to consider its value.  Is it an instrument of 
the church?  Is it an instrument of the state?  Where 
does its value lie?  Or maybe I'm trying to decide how 
one would determine if it, or any social pattern, actually 
has value.  For all its supposed importance maybe in 
actuality it is just a useless, blind ritual.  Or maybe without  
marriage, the entire social level would collapse into 
one mass biological orgy?  

I'm just wondering.  I thought maybe others might 
hint to a best approach.
