Certainly marriage has been buffetted by multiple forces, but if Western society has any hope of outlasting this latest assault from w/i then we must stand fast upon the last barracade.
Long and dark will be that night should the forces of satan gain sway.
One big difference between Christianity and Islam is that as Christians, we are required to live moral lives, not to force *other* people to live moral lives at the point of a sword.
Ask yourself this: Is it currently legal, in any state, for a couple wishing to be married to draw up reciprocal personal service contracts that specify: 1) Neither party will file an action for divorce during their lifetime, and 2) In the event of breach of contract, neither party may contract a second marriage during the lifetime of the other party?
The answer is, such contracts are contrary to public policy in EVERY state, and will not be enforced by the courts.
Even trying to pass legislation to ALLOW willing adults to enter into such contracts is impossible.
So, man the ramparts if you must, but watch your back, because the Enemy is already sitting on the throne in your city.
