I like how you put that in quotes implying that I did.
If you read my second note in this thread I said "I consider marrige important mainly because promotes the nurture of children."
I think marrige is a covention of society. I never stated that because I think its an obvious fact.
It does work rather well in encouraging father to support their offspring. In many(not all) societies where the marrige structure breaks down you often end up with children raised in poverty and with out a father figure - both of these issues are linked to developmental problems.
Anyway - nice try on a dirty cheap trick of rhetoric.
