I for one hope this simply leads to the end of marriage. That whole concept is built rather one sided. Time for relationship contracts… renewable, but always finite. With separation details worked out in advance. Let’s get religion out of it entirely.
Why does it need to be a formal contract? People can engage in relationships without the law being involved. I tend to think we should disentangle marriage and law, have some paperwork one can fill out for the legal affairs like hospital visitation and such that can be changed without the same degree of court proceeding, and have the religious or cultural ritual as just a ritual people can but are not obligated to hold if they feel like with no legal meaning to it.
Well it doesn’t have to be a formal contract… but I was thinking there would be like a website with a selection you could pick from, print out, sign and done. And the main reason was to make getting out of a bad relationship clear easy, and most likely no courts involved since everything was already spelled out. Open sourced contracts would in theory be well vetted to be fair.

Some Republicans have said that they want to make it illegal to cohabitate without being married.
These shit birds are not going to rest until women have no autonomy.
Good luck to them on that… cause that is how you get a revolution. Lol
They are chipping away with our any revolts so you know I doubt they think we will do anything .

They literally don’t give a shit what we think unless we are donating massive amounts of money. We don’t live in a democracy anymore
If ignoring election results isn’t going to do it then this definitely won’t.

I think you just redefined a marriage. The function of marriage legally is all those “legal affairs”.
