Outstanding, Alex. This piece should serve as an example what the Awl aspires to; what will set you guys apart -- posts this thoughtful, insightful; so much more than news aggregation, so much potential, I can't wait to see where this site goes! Tell Cho!
Kudos!

On Social A's: When Two Men Fall In Love....
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you saying to only marry (or don't marry) out of fear? I think all the terror involved should serve as an indication of what a sham marriage is.
Now I've felt a few times -- when I was younger (in my twenties) -- that I could never be without whoever my girlfriend was at the time; I always saw us spending the rest of our lives together (and it never terrorized me; in fact, I've felt like that about all my girlfriends, this why I've had very few long term relationships.) But then we'd inevitably grow apart(per the Golden Rule of twentysomething relationships) and later I couldn't believe I felt that way about another person. Sad, but true.
The older I've gotten (I'm 37 now), the more I realize I'll probably never get married, and I'm more than okay with that. I still believe in Love, and companionship, and trust and honoring, but like you illustrated: marriage is antithetical to human aspirations, which are ceaseless, and it has nothing to do with love and everything to do with fear. So you might as well convert to Christianity and repent while you're at it.
