Seriously though: I have two women in my life who I love more than anything. One of them, if she was unconscious in the emergency room, I could go in and see. The other, I couldn't. The difference? I stood in front of a priest with one of them 13 years ago, and I didn't with the other.

Does it make sense? No. But the fact is, marriage conveys certain rights that you don't get any other way.
