See Ephesians 5:20-21.

Your strawman, based on sexist bias
and fantasy in interpretation, does not hold.

Where a marriage is based oncontractual obligations, it will
fold, as most business partnerships,
even the best ones, ultimately do.
Where a marriage is based on
an eternal promise and submittal
to *each other*, it will last.

The whole "richer, for poorer"
thing does have merit.  It is the
only promise under which a marriage will
last.  In every marriage, richer and
poorer *will* occur.  Lefty's
contractual paradigm mandates that
the marriage fail and be dissolved.

Pity.
