I'm not sure how I'd pick a marriage partner using only reason. Go on personality traits, skills & knowledge I lack so he'd be useful?

I seem to have done this rather well with my girls, actually. Looks like I'll have a political economist & a mathematician/techie.

This is incredibly useful to me for my writing because I am shit in these areas. However, it wasn't deliberate or particularly likely.

Respectfully I disagree. Marriage isn't all about emotion; its business. And as far as businesses go it's generally a raw deal for men.

You'd marry for a business partnership? What would be your product?

You misunderstand. I'm saying marriage is a business; the merger of two distinct entities creating a new corporation. --

But why? For what motivation? Why do people get married?
-
Or are you asking me why other people consider/pursue marriage? If so it's because it's become a consumer-good. Neatly wrapped and shiny.

I don't know what that means. Conversation started around what marriage means and whether same sex marriage destroys that.
-
But to answer what I mean. Many see marriage as they party; the celebration/attention. The ritual of the union: not the union itself. Clear?
-
You think people get married for a wedding party? That is what the institution of marriage means now?
