16recognize the valuable contributions of both spouses during the marriage and at
17termination of the marriage by dissolution or death. Marriage is the institution that
18is the foundation of the family and of society. Its stability is basic to morality and
19civilization, and of vital interest to society and the state. The consequences of the
20marriage contract are more significant to society than those of other contracts, and
21the public interest must be taken into account always. The seriousness of marriage
22makes adequate premarital counseling and education for family living highly
23desirable and courses thereon are urged upon all persons contemplating marriage.

25to the public wholly apart from the effect upon the parties immediately concerned.

1Under the laws of this state, marriage is a legal relationship between 2 equal
2persons, a husband and wife, who owe to each other mutual responsibility and
3support. Each spouse has an equal obligation in accordance with his or her ability

5and maintenance of his or her minor children and of the other spouse. No spouse may
6be presumed primarily liable for support expenses under this subsection.

11other
.

21that either party is permanently sterile or that the 2 parties are otherwise
22permanently biologically incapable of producing a child together
. Relationship
