I agree, this makes the most sense!
I think it's kind of funny that the pro-marriage camp feels that having MORE people getting married will ruin the institution. If you were really interested in making lifelong commitment a more well-adhered to cultural practice, wouldn't you be excited that
more people were interested in monogamy? It's like having a bunch of people agree with you!
