        Only as a last resort. You shouldn’t get married without intending to stay together for life.

      “You shouldn’t use marriage to stop yourself being legally chained to your parents. The purpose of marriage is to legally chain you to your spouse.”

      If people could “divorce” their parents you wouldn’t have to worry about this.

      Only two? That seems needlessly restrictive. Is it for religious reasons? Church and state should be separated.

        If it was for religious reasons, I would have specified it as a “man and a woman”

        Also, if it’s more than two, that’s not a marriage; that’s a group chat.
