The way to save Marriage is to rope more people into it.

The way to save marriage is to begin at the beginning and remember what it is for. It is not just any relationship of human beings. It is a unique relationship of two human beings--a male and a female--and its binary nature evidences its purpose.

This nation's people once knew what marriage was all about. That was in the days before Roe v. Wade and the great marriage destroying social experiments that have followed in its wake.

The soul-dead, those with seared consciences, can no longer apprehend the special nature of marriage. They would define it down to include the deviency of men who are sexually attracted to other men.

If the shoe fits, where it proudly.

At the beginning didn't 12 year olds get married. At the beginning didn't the old man kick the wife out if they didn't have children and try another woman.

Does conservative really mean bring back the good old days?

Al lot of good that high and mighty definition of marriage does when close to half of those who choose to get married later choose to get divorced.

Roe v. Wade didn't cause the decay of marriage. Rather, it was an economic system that encouraged mobility of its workers, and a wage/productivity system that soon made it impossible for one spouse to stay at home.

I think Marx was a jackass, but in this case, he was right. Economics drove social change.
