There's a difference between Swedish society and ours. Unless you're also willing to adopt other Swedish ways it's a false analogy.In Scandinavia, hardly anyone gets married anymore. What is the point? If you love someone, you can live with them. In Sweden, they call this "sambo."
Now, there is all this fussing and fighting, hooting and hollering over what marriage ought to be, who ought to be allowed to marry whom, etc.
So I say like the ever forward-thinking and practical Swedes: What's the point?
But I'm certainly all in for deleting "marriage" from the law books and changing it to civil union, civil partnership, or whatever. That would also resolve the issue of "We own that word and you can't use it!" :lol:
