I agree. Those are examples of what happens when people use the yardstick of instant gratification to measure happiness. I mean, if instant personal gratification is the only measure of happiness, then why stop at man+woman? Why stop at homosexuality? Etc.

The point is, sexual pleasure, no matter what kind, is not the highest pleasure or happiness there is. Gotta look somewhere else.

Yes, instant gratification and selfish needs. Marriage is about loving, NOT about being loved. If more people realized that, they might be more inclined not to pursue selfish actions.

Family is the foundation for society. Crack it, or break it down, society crumbles. Marriage is about loving, all members of your family. Putting the love of them and their needs, above your own. If all members of the family do just that, nothing can come between them.
