The legality of it evolved with the complexity of human societies. It's a way of controlling property and "legitimizing" children. If I want to share my life with a person (or persons for that matter), it should be just as recognized as every other union with no added benefit to either group (like being legally recognized). As for insurance, if it's health insurance you should be able to insure your whole family/household under one policy, you just pay for them as if they were another spouse or child at those rates. I hate the idea of health insurance, it's pretty much twisted these days. I’m not quite ready to call it faith-based, but I agree that the legal institution of marriage is kinda lame.

Marriage should be a purely faith based ideal, such as recognized by whatever church you want to belong to that'll allow you to get married and you believe in their ideas. As for the sharing insurance, inheritance, etc.. should be allowed to add anyone you want to insurance and the like, as well as give whatever you want in case you die. (Although there should obviously be a finding of two people actually living together for a period of time not just 1 day etc) -Arioch Cu'Odan Legal marriage is a sham, always has been always will be..
