Fairness and equality before the law are fine ideas, but do you really think they are relevant to the subject of marriage? Do you perceive marriage to be only a contract which can be broken when it no longer satisfies either partner? Isn't marriage more about giving than getting?

In society marriage is a contract. So yes, I do think little things like "fairness" and "equality" matter a great deal.

I bet you wouldn't argue that these things don't matter in your rental contract.

Well if that were the case then we wouldn't have this thread.

It's all about one sex getting way more than they are entitled to and the other sex "Whining" about it.. Remember?

That is the subject of this thread,after all...
