Since marriage equality has been on the minds of so many recently, heated debate has strayed from marriage in Biblical terms, and has instead magnified marriage as a government institution. In an article posted on the New York Times website, the issue stands -- the "marriage penalty" hits couples on tax day.
The marriage penalty discourages couples with two incomes from marrying, and encourages the union of couples with only one income. In addition to the issue regarding marriage in Biblical terms, marriage has been undermined by government taxation. So those who believe marriage is a Biblical institution now have an entirely new issue to combat -- is marriage defined in monetary terms?
