I see marriage as a traditional legal binding that can alter your life significantly depending on your state and country.

You might see it differently. What does marriage mean to you?

    Its a commitment. Pure and simple. You and another are going to live together and figure things out together come what may.

      Having a small barrier (divorce) is not a meaningful form of comitment and if anything I’d wager it does more actual societal harm than good.

        commitment is an individual thing. it could all be ceremony and it would not mattter. It sounds like your asking what the legal definition of marriage is for a particular country.

          No i just dont think it’s a good metric for comitment and doesn’t encapsulate the spirit of committed relationship. It might actually distract from achieving real meaningful comitment as people do the predefine ceremony which is not very meaningful compared to a more personal ritual and bonding.
