Obviously, the correct solution is to remove the subsidies in all cases (and to cut spending and taxes across the board by the corresponding amount).

Perhaps the solution is to get the government (both State and Federal) completely out of the business of recognizing marriage as a contract between two partners.

Whenever a baby is born, the State simply registers the mother and father and holds them equally accountable for that child's welfare.

I'm not necessarily advocating for this, but I wonder if it might be more beneficial to children than the present marriage mess.
