Louisa Wall's Marriage (Definition of Marriage) Amendment Bill looks set to pass in to law tonight. Along with the political hand-wringing that's come with Wall's proposed marriage equality legislation, there has been a great deal of debate, protests and marches.

The issue of marriage equality has rattled the social consciousness of our nation but it has also highlighted the question: What is marriage?

Is it a religious symbol of your commitment? Is it a license that gives some legal framework to your relationship? Is it simply a social stamp of approval for cohabitation? Or is it more; is it some indefinable bond between two people? Stuff wants the answers.

Tell us what marriage - what your marriage - means to you.
