Marriage in general is long overdue for an overhaul.
They are still too sexist.
Even the ceremony is too much - to spend that kind of money for one day is crazy. Many families go into debt to pay for those parties.
As far as marriage being a religious term, I'm 'married' but I'm also an athiest. Would my relationship be changed to a civil union under your guidelines?
On Edit - Maybe we should drop the word marriage altogether and for legal purposes call all "marriages" civil unions. Since half of the marriages end up in the dumper anyway, meaning they don't really meet the defination of marriage anyway.
