It's funny that you use "litmus" as your analogy for something that should be considered acceptable or not (a binary question) when a litmus test itself only determines a DEGREE of how acidic or basic a chemical is.

So by your own definition, using the litmus analogy, whether two people should marry or not should be determined on a continuum of circumstances, and not "yes or no" based on established criteria.

And I'll be damn impressed if you understood all that. But feel free to show me that you are more intelligent than you seem.
