Parents should instill enough self-respect in their kids that they don't go off and marry the first person that suckers them into it. If you (or your kids) don't, good on you.
Marriage may not be for suckers, but a lot of marriages sure are based on suckering.

To clarify, I don’t shun the idea of love, relationships or marriage, I only question why a signed piece of paper has to validate shared love. Marriage is percieved as some uber-sacred practice, but in reality it is misunderstood and mis-practiced.

I really hope you don't buy into the crap the ACLU panders.
Either way, this is why we have Prenumps. Only the uninformed have any reservations when it comes to maintaining seperate property.
Just remember kids, nothing says love like a legal binding contract.

After the first day, little Johnny comes home with a very serious look on his face. He doesn't kiss his mother hello. Instead, he goes straight to his room & starts studying. Books & papers are spread out all over the room and little Johnny is hard at work. His mother is amazed. She calls him down to dinner and to her shock, the minute he is done he marches back to his room without a word and in no time he is back hitting the books as hard as before.
This goes on for sometime, day after day while the mother tries to understand what made all the difference. Finally, little Johnny brings home his report card. He quietly lays it on the table and goes up to his room and hits the books. With great trepidation, his mom looks at it and to her surprise, little Johnny got an A in math.
She can no longer hold her curiosity. She goes to his room and says: "Son, what was it? Was it the nuns?" Little Johnny looks at her and shakes his head.
"Well, then," she replies, "was it the books, the discipline, the structure, the uniforms, WHAT was it?"
Little Johnny looks at her and says, "Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren't fooling around.

Two aliens out in space were looking down on our planet.
The first alien said, "It seems the dominant life-forms on Earth have developed satellite-based weapons."
The second alien asked, "Are they an emerging intelligence?"
"I don't think so," the first responded. "They have the weapons aimed at themselves."
