I was thinking of marriage as a contract -- that would roll #8 into #9, though, right?
(Assuming you meant #7 into #9. Because #8 makes no sense.)

No it wouldn't. Because it doesn't take open marriages and the such into account. It anchors marriage with the Christian definition. Which isn't a good thing to do.

Yeah. I s'pose you're right.
Thanks.

Yeah, sorry. I meant #7 into #9.
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.
