Re: Defining marriage
I'm not sure what this has to do with gay marriage.
Re: Defining marriage
I don't want it to be...
I'm just wondering what thoughts are on whether sex must be a part of married life, and if so then isn't this really having the government in your bedrooms...
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
Re: Defining marriage
Sex doesn't have to be part of any relationship
As long as both of the partners know that going in.
Granted I don't see how it couldn't be, there is a reason romantic feelings are distinictly different from platonic feelings. but hey different strokes for different folks.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Re: Defining marriage
let's say marriage is simply a man and woman vow to be together building a family till death separate em apart.
the blame is the over-easy acess for divorces now, and that means till death separate them apart is no longer the majority of case...
but then:
a) Polygamy? - well?
b) So? how to make dat vow valid? religion what?

Re: Defining marriage
Perhaps the French law was simply to make sure that people did not simply marry for the benefits? Much like how the US tries to prevent marriages simply for citizenship.
Re: Defining marriage
Till death is a little easier when the mean life span is 50. Not many made it to 70 and even fewer as couples. Childbirth resulted in many deaths of child and mother.
So there was a lot more second/third marriages by life being deadlier. All divorce has allowed is people to break a non-functioning relationship, not a bad thing all in all.
Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

Re: Defining marriage
Most divorces today happen between considerably younger people, surely.
