Or better yet, get government out of the marriage business.

Okay, so that would mean no more divorce courts, no court-ordered alimony or child support, no family court, and no government support for dependent familes and children.

Tell you what, you make those changes first then get back to us, OK?

"Divorces" would be handled based on the provisions of the contract entered into by the married people, as would alimony. Child support/custody would still be a topic for the courts, as a contract between two (or more) people would not be binding as to any children involved.

Government support for dependent families and children has nothing to do with the marriage relationship.

If I could, I would.

Family courts and the current participants in marriage have damaged it immensely already. Its like saying "You smashed my mirror!", when your car was rusted out and on blocks already.
