I have no contractual agreements in my life at this time, and I'm happy about that. None at all. If I can eke my way through the rest of my life avoiding contracts I will be a happy man.
Anyone else feel this way?
Or, is "the contract" an unavoidable fact of life?

I don't have a problem with contracts as I know I'll keep my end of whatever I sign on to. Current contracts are insurance, mortgage, credit cards, cable, hydro power.

No you can live your entire life without ever having to sign a contract but it's pretty damn hard. It means no marriage, no house, no new car, no credit cards, no school loans or loans of any type. The list goes on but I think these are the major things in life that require a contract.

over specific principles, goals, and policies.

I do have health insurance. Though it is a contractual agreement, it goes hand-in-hand with my employment, so I sort of blur the line on that one. Other than that, nada.

I don't understand the 'marriage' contract. I understand being born in somebody else's debt, hence my desire to avoid contracts.

Marriage in essence is a contract between two people.
As soon as I can buy a home sans a contract, I might consider insurance of some sort, but I doubt it.

More of a verbal agreement, I think.

No it's a contract. You have to sign on the dotted line when you get that Marriage license which makes it a contract.
I hate people like you.

That's a shame. But hate on, if that works for you.
Who says you need a marriage license to get married?

Hate may be a strong word, but I disagree with you on the unavoidable part of which you speak.

Well if you don't get the license then technically you are not married, in the laws eyes.
The state.
Now, I'm with you, I don't think the state should be involved. But if you have any issues of benefits or probate, without a marriage contract or domestic partner contract, your spouse will have a battle on his/her hands.
Oh, I guess that explains it.

In the US if you want to be legally married (medical benefits, tax benefits, next of kin type things, etc) you need a marriage license.
Do you plan of ever getting a will?

You can disagree all you like. I guess it probably comes down to a differing idea on the meaning of "contract". If you think it's possible and desirable to avoid contracts at all costs, more power to you. I certainly don't believe people should have to contract with others, I simply think it's in their best interests to do so and the fundamental meaning of exchange requires it.
But if contracts aren't your thing, that's totally fine by me.
Why would you want to avoid them? I guess I don't understand your basic premise. A contract, freely entered into by consenting adults, for a mutually beneficial reason sounds like a great idea.
I fully agree that the government has no business sticking their nose in this but if you do want to protect your family you have to do it.
With who? Really, I want to spend my life avoiding these vampires. I'm sure my spouse will feel the same way. There wont be anything to battle over.

Baloney. If you want to protect your family you teach them to stay away from those assholes.

Baloney. If you meet someone and love each other she/he will never be able to receive your health benefits or be the benficiary of your life insurance unless you have that license. It sucks but the government has made it so you need to sign that contract in order to protect the one you love.
With who? With the state, insurance companies, etc... Unless you plan to be penniless and destitute, there will certainly be something to battle over.
