Of course. But take a step back and look at yourself, what you are doing, given the current state of the culture on the subject of marriage. Marriage is under systematic assault by well funded activists. Legislation is pending in several states to redefine it out of existence. The focus is on stripping out its core, removing any vestige of duty from it, and replacing it with an affair of convenience for the sake of empheral interests of adults. And you are here lambasting someone for maintaining that children as the core reason for marriage, and calling that a cheapening of it. Um, if regarding children as a core of marriage cheapens it, what about regarding the core of marriage as sodomy?

And what am I doing? Pointing out biblical truth. As I said earlier, you don't have to agree, but the truth is the truth.

And you are here lambasting someone for maintaining that children as the core reason for marriage, and calling that a cheapening of it.

First of all I did not lambaste anyone. I expressed my points, you disagreed. I noted that you have that right.

Secondly. While children are an important reason for marriage they are not the first one that God brings up. I'll go with His word over yours (or anyone else's anyday)

Um, if regarding children as a core of marriage cheapens it, what about regarding the core of marriage as sodomy?

You are the only one talking about sodomy. Obviosuly marriage is between a man and a woman. as it has been for all time and for the length of this discussion.
