The institution of marriage I believe is man-made. It was established by men to signal to other men that the women they were with were their property. Just as a man could own a horse or a slave, a man could own a wife. Today, some see marriage as sacred and holy. "What God has brought together let no man divide". That is a very romantic and powerful statement. But it is not a healthy one. I am not against marriage, and I wish only the best to those who are married. In fact, my mother and father were married at 17 and they are still married. But some people make mistakes. And when they do, they should be allowed to correct those mistakes. These lyrics are about a couple that did just that. And they were all the better for it. Please note, the pronouns used in these lyrics are mere suggestions. Matrimony does not discriminate.
