Too much choice (1)

[james_davis_nicoll]

It seems to me that if you let people marry who they like, this can only inevitably lead them to want to exercise choice in other fields of human endeavour and then where would we be? Today it's three people getting married but tomorrow it could be drinking water with a bit of lime in it instead of a more economically strategic soft drink or someone deciding they don't want to work 80 hours weeks.

People can pretend that those are the exceptions to the rule because there are so many examples of supposed good single partner marriages they can point to. It ends up being a chicken and egg thing with plural relationships, with people who are part of examples that work keeping quiet about it because of how society perceives the idea. So all you end up hearing about are the problematic ones.
