In fact, ANY relationship that the courts will enforce should work like a business arrangement... because it IS. If it's not a business arrangement, the courts have no business trying to impose one. You can't have your cake and eat it, too. Marriage is a business arrangement – it’s just that it’s so standard that it can be romanticized and not thought about that way at the time.
