[misc.legal] Why have Marriage Laws?

Many of the postings on this question lead to a belief that we aren't
necessarily monogamous by nature.  If that is true, why not let people
select any combination of relationships as long as all of the people
involved are happy? (instead of enforcing current marriage laws)

P.S. - Currently "shacked-up" (<--my mother's label) with my EX-wife!
	 and it's more romantic than ever!
