In other words, marriage will be meaningless.

Hollywood and lawyers did that a long time ago.

"In other words, marriage will be meaningless."

Hollywood and lawyers and nonmarital copulation, contraception and abortion did that a long time ago.

Fixed that for you.
The reason that churches incur the guilt as well is because they don't treat marriage like it's sacred — how many gladly remarry the divorced? (And that's not even considering the failure to confront literal/legalistic adultery in their midst.)

(Matt 19:3-9)
The proud religious law-keepers came to Jesus. They tried to trap Him by saying, “Does the Law say a man can divorce his wife for any reason?” He said to them, “Have you not read that He Who made them in the first place made them man and woman? It says, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and will live with his wife. The two will become one.’ So they are no longer two but one. Let no man divide what God has put together.”

The proud religious law-keepers said to Jesus, “Then why did the Law of Moses allow a man to divorce his wife if he put it down in writing and gave it to her?” Jesus said to them, “Because of your hard hearts Moses allowed you to divorce your wives. It was not like that from the beginning. And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sex sins, and marries another, is guilty of sex sins in marriage. Whoever marries her that is divorced is guilty of sex sins in marriage.”
