[Know your rights]

So long as men and women continue to enter into real marriages, I don't see how the institution is destroyed.

The point is that men and women will be *less likely* to continue to enter into real marriages.

I don't think that's the point of Colson's claim that same-sex 'marriage' will "destroy the institution of marriage in this country." Decreasing frequency is not destruction.

If something decreases in frequency enough it becomes non-existant. I think he is exaggerating a bit, though, unless what he means is marriage *as we know it* will be destroyed. If this is the case, he may be right. Not overnight, of course, but I see marriage becoming just another business contract.

I remember sci-fi flicks where people would just create a contract with each other for 5 years (or some variation on this). Children are raised by the State since the idea of raising children would be inconvenient to many people who are too self-absorbed to want to deal with it. I expect this is what we're heading toward. This isn't to say we'll ever get there, just that this is the direction we're going now.
