Chris wasn't saying the relationship is not propery. He was saying the
contract is not a property, it is documentation of the agreement of what
property is involved in the relationship and how to handle disolving the
contract. Chris also added a crucial bit that the relationship is
jointly held property, and I would argue that as a default, assuming no
contract to the contrary, that either party may disolve a relationship
without penalty, thus destroying that joint property. However, if a
third party comes along and does something to damage the relationship
(such as murder one of the parties), then the injured parties do have a
property loss that they may seek redress for.

I agree with you here.
