cd, #5: I agree with everything you just said, and IMO, there is already a term in universal use that can be used to replace "domestic partnership". It's simply "civil marriage" in formal use, which...

Pamela. I hate to break it to you but God did not create marriage. Marriage in Judaism is a legal contract. The Mosaic law puts boundaries on the nature of the contract but at essence it remains just...
