[crossfire] Love and marriage, love and marriage...

[Joshua Wilson]

Using your logic we are also encouraging tossing alchemy, demon worship, 
  killing people to get things they are carrying , etc..

At some point we have to draw the line and say it's simply a game.

Games model certain aspects of real life (and if marriage is one of them 
so be it) and completely disregard other aspects (when was the last time 
you saw killed someone with a fireball?)
