      Why don't Leftists promote marriage as path to 'social justice', economic equality, & health? Genuinely curious.http://thefederalist.com/2017/11/03/research-proves-no-1-social-justice-imperative-marriage/ …

      We already have the right to do that. It's not a privilege allowed to some & denied to others (where same-sex marriage is a thing)

      People also have the right to stop smoking. Do liberals then decide to not interfere in anybody's affairs? No, they promote quitting.

      Because smoking isn't a neutral thing that's good for some people but not for others.

      So is the argument being made for marriage that it is actively a good thing for most people.

      In terms of the 'benefits' that most people claim to value.

      Individuals will know if marriage is for them or not. It's intrusive for anyone else to.

      No, they don't know anymore than a student 'knows' that studying now is a bad for them and playing video games is good and fun.

      What do you suggest? Arranged marriages with people you don't love?

          I suggest develop a character of not sleeping around with lots of people and leaving each other when you get bored.

          That tends to be more of a phase you need to get over before thinking abt marriage, tbh. No point going into one if you still wanna do that

          That's what I just said. Not sure what you are disagreeing with.
