If you think you have equality with women you are living in a dream world. If your wife becomes pregnant, you do not have any say in your reproductive freedom. If she decides to carry the child to term you have just bought the farm for the next 18 years, You cannot abort, the financial burden is yours. Only she can choose.

Seperation between church and State.
There should be no benefits tax wise for married or single individuals.
A union should be as Funked stated between the individuals.
If a person is part of a christian orginization, let them recognize their union in accord with their faith, Government has no need to be there. If they are athiests, let them recognize their union in accord with whatever their hearts desire, Government has no need to be there. If they are Gay, Second verse same as the first.

Biological differences and legal equality are two totally different topics.

LOL...Since your so brilliant, tell me how to gain equality with women by aborting a child that I don't want. They have that choice. I want the right to not to be burdened with an unwanted child for 18 years...tell me about your equality bright boy.

Who'd have thunk it, FunkedUp the marriage guru?

I agree with him and tarmac by the way: people can negotiate any terms they want. If they want want to agree disadvantageous terms why shouldn't they? What business is it of the State to interfere?
The richer partner in the negotiations will have the advantage in this respect, but then why shouldn't they? It's their money after all.
Now a man is likely to be be richer than a women but that's a problem of employment not marriage. I don't believe you should build a prejudice into one area of society to counter-balance a prejudice in another. Better to correct the problem in women's pay.

You don't gain "equality" over her body. You consented to give up the right to control that baby in her body when you shot your wad. If you don't like that agreement, keep your donut in your pants.
