I think what you mean, Ake, is that your view of what the institution of marriage is means very little to Don! Think about it... ;-)

Now, here's what my view is of the institution of marriage:

In my own case: a deeply sacred bond of personal committment between me and a woman I love.

In the case of other people: Who knows? That depends entirely on them. It could mean just about anything to other people, depending on who they were.

Conclusion: I don't expect my view of marriage to necessarily be anyone else's view of marriage, and that's okay with me, because their marriage is their business, not mine...and vice versa.
