I completely disagree. Business relationships != personal relationships.
Business relationships are built on legal documents that stipulate the

Yes I agree that marriage not a business agreement.
I wouldn't mind a bit if someone wanted a relationship with my
daughter and didn't believe in marriage. I'm really on the fence myself.
I am married, but I see little value in the formal, legal aspect of it;
the part one enters into when you sign the documents. I see tremendous
value in the emotional part of it, but I call that a relationship and
not marriage.
I think we mean different things by 'marriage'. When I mean marriage I
mean a commitment to a person. The legal paperwork is just a formality.
I'm trying to think of a hypothetical where someone would sincerely be
willing to make a committment to your daughter but wouldn't believe in the
legal paperwork but I can't.

I can. I'm in such a relationship. I can't state exactly why here for
the same reasons my wife and I chose such a relationship. We know many
others in the same position as ours. Not to be insulting, but I'm
starting to think you need to get out more. ;)
