That’s why it always confuses me when so many women want to get married for married sake.

This time period is a brief aberration, the institution of marriage, dating back thousands of years before Jesus, has always historically been a property transaction, with the wife being the property exchanged for property/familial status. There are still parts of the world where that is the case.

At least 4,000 years isn’t wiped away in a hundred. Personally, I think a romantic, consenting partnership should have entirely new terminology attached to it. Rehabbing the institution of marriage is like trying to rehab the term enslavement.

Hell marriage is already regressing back to its natural/historical state here in the US, with several states trying to abolish no fault divorce to remove any agency women have won with regards to romantic partnership.
