Defining Marriage

I always enjoy Ambrose Bierce. If the "ideal" marriage is between one man and one woman, it might be defined as such:

"MARRIAGE, n. The state or condition of a community consisting of a master, a mistress and two slaves, making in all, two."
--Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary
