20recognize the valuable contributions of both spouses during the marriage and at
21termination of the marriage by dissolution or death. Marriage is the institution that
22is the foundation of the family and of society. Its stability is basic to morality and
23civilization, and of vital interest to society and the state. The consequences of the
24marriage contract are more significant to society than those of other contracts, and
25the public interest must be taken into account always. The seriousness of marriage

1makes adequate premarital counseling and education for family living highly
2desirable and courses thereon are urged upon all persons contemplating marriage.

4to the public wholly apart from the effect upon the parties immediately concerned.
5Under the laws of this state, marriage is a legal relationship between 2 equal
6persons, a husband and wife, who owe to each other mutual responsibility and
7support. Each spouse has an equal obligation in accordance with his or her ability

9and maintenance of his or her minor children and of the other spouse. No spouse may

15other
.

21husband or wife spouse living, nor between persons who are nearer of kin than 2nd
22cousins except that marriage may be contracted between first cousins where the
23female has attained the age of 55 years or where
if either party, at the time of
24application for a marriage license, submits an affidavit signed by a physician stating
25that either party is permanently sterile or that the 2 parties are otherwise

1permanently biologically incapable of producing a child together
. Relationship
2under this section shall be computed by the rule of the civil law, whether the parties
3to the marriage are of the half or of the whole blood. A marriage may not be
4contracted if either party has such want of understanding as renders him or her
5incapable of assenting to marriage.

8as required by ss. 765.05 to 765.24 and 767.803.

14such subsequent marriage contract was entered into by one of the parties in good
15faith, in the full belief that the former husband or wife spouse was dead, or that the
16former marriage had been annulled, or dissolved by a divorce, or without knowledge
17of such former marriage, they the parties shall, after the impediment to their
18marriage has been removed by the death or divorce of the other party to such former
19marriage, if they continue to live together as husband and wife a married couple in
