Correct, pretty good illustration of how political parties can go off on tangents.

Marriage is a pretty cool thing but its not for everyone, in the wrong circumstance it can just lead to a whole lot of financial hassle and heartache. I could offer a whole bunch of verbiose BS on the pros and cons but in the end everyone will have the opinionated axe to grind so to hell with it: I'm happily married and I reckon its a great institution.
