I like Gregory Corso's "Marriage". Although it's mostly about how the "institution" of marriage is trite and full of middle class cliche. But there are a couple gems in there that you could plagarize/incorporate into your own stuff.

good for a chuckle:
"....and Ingrid Bergman was always impossible...."

finishes on a serious note:
"and yet I know that were a woman possible as I am possible, then marriage would be possible".
