I am happy that my daughters have the choice to marry or not and that they can do wonderful things without getting married.

But my husband is one of the most awesome people I've ever met (male or female). I could do all of the things here (except hooking up with someone) and still be married to him (even the toilet seat being down).

I like the sentiment that says "You don't have to be married to be cool", but there's an undertone of "If you want to be cool, never get married", which I don't think is the message I want to send, either. For me, it's about choice... choose to get married (or not), choose to have children (or not) and neither choice makes you a bad person or deserving of ridicule.

Just my two cents.
