Thank you,David.I agree with you.I think they should do away with the concept of marriage and have something like a contract of family.So that anyone living and acting like a family will get all the legal benefits that a husband and wife have now.My definition of a family is anyone living together,caring for each other and loving each other. My best friend,my sister and I are planning on living together in our old age, if we out live our husbands,so why couldn't we share our benefits?
