Marriage as social mechanism.
This New York Times article discusses the possible ramifications of overemphasizing the marital relationship and undervaluing relationships external to one's family unit. A very interesting read.

Yet another truly interesting article. I have sometimes remarked that marriage may be a social anachronism since men and women no longer need to be married in order to survive or even in order to be accepted in society (higher political office notwithstanding). This article does not entirely shake me from that belief but I think I will gove this further thought. It seems to make sense. The few marriages that I know of that seem somewhat successful do involve people who are still socially active.
