The state's interest in marriage is stability. Generally speaking polygamy does not work for stability. Inherent in the whole polygamous movement is a deep and abiding misogyny and denigration of women. So polygamy is objectionable on lots of grounds.

Stability is why society has an interest in marriage.

I have never been given to envy - save for the envy I feel toward those people who have the ability to make a marriage work and endure happily.

Well you know I think a lot of us in marriage know that you play different roles at different times. And Mitt can get very intense and I can have the ability to kind of talk him off the rails sometimes and say 'Hey let's look at what is really important and let's do that now.'

There are few more powerful tools for promoting stability than the institution of marriage.

Marriage is gonna be your stability through everything.
