I completely understand the author’s point; that is, straight marriage has severe issues because of the high divorce rate. At this point in my life, I know more divorced people than I do married couples. HOWEVER, marriage was designed for the procreation of children and the establishment of a strong parental unit/home. IMHO, gay marriages brings down the sanctity of straight ones.

The break in the. Dam occurred when intercourse was separated from procreation with the acceptance of various means of induced sterility, aka, birth control.
Paul VI’s encyclical, On the Regulation of Birth, was prophetic.
