I'm a lawyer and know the financial consequences of failed marriages (at least in Canada).

The lack of marriage in no way stops people from loving each other, from having kids, from being happy and the presence of marriage in no way guarantees those things. So why is marriage so good?

I'm not anti-marriage, I just don't understand the pro-marriage position, especially considering the little respect many married people give "the sanctity of marriage".

And my views do not stem from lack of maturity. If anything, I would say many people who get married young acted immaturely and naively.
