No, it's not physical - and even if it were, why do we need these "slender, silver threads" to fall back on for support, love, and someone to depend on? Shouldn't that be the case in any committed relationship?

I'm sure at some point I'll be into getting married and coaching tee ball and all that fantastic stuff, but without the 'kids' part and the 'religion' part, marriage is simply applying a name and a set of consequences to intangibles in the relationship. If that's comforting for you, GIDDAWNDOWN with your bad self, but don't throw the nose up at people who couldn't care less about titular reinforcement of an otherwise good relationship.
