Marriage should be left to the religious (or non-religious) institutions. Marriage should not be recognized by the State. Married people should not receive any special legal rights or privileges.
Marriage as a civil institution should be replaced by Family contracts. Contracts in which the participants are seen as immediate family members; and, are allowed whatever rights and privileges inherent in that title. That includes declaring a person to be a dependent of another.
I have no problem with marriage in it's basic form. An institution among people that says "We are joining families and we are creating a family."
The only good reason to get married is to have children.
And most people in bad marriages never should have been married to begin with.
