what about civil unions?    There has to be some way for the law to recognize a spouse as next of kin.   

 I suppose I phrased that badly, but I don't think governments should be involved with marriage any further than recognizing it. Ideally, I think that their should be organizations/businesses who perform marriages/unions akin to funeral homes arranging funerals and memorial services. Of course, if the government decided not to perform civil unions anymore, there would be a problem because such organizations would not be preëxistent. That's how I think it should be, but it is not necessarily a practicable option in our society right now.
