We once knew what marriage is. We have become deaf and insensible to the meaning. That's also why abortion is widespread and fatherhood is marginalized

Hyperbole.

Read your history. For the greater part of the history of Western civilization, marriage was about money. It was a contract between families to exchange one thing for another. Everything else is just window dressing added within the last 150 years or so.

What was the exchange? The girl for the money or family connections or whatever?
