---- "The decline of marriage: A glimpse into an unsettling trend"

The options seem clear. One may worship God, the State or the self (which usually includes a preoccupation with the self's genitalia).

The sham "marriages" involving celebrating the self and the selves' genitalia is a perversion of the traditional sense of marriage.

An intended perversion, for the sake of perversion itself.

You mean like the idiot couple, where the wife was running for state office in Virginia, and had put their escapades on online video?

I tell the teens and preteens in sunday school class: “You need to seek the right PERSONALITY of the OPPOSITE sex, and be PATIENT in that search, because it may take a while! If you are putting sex ahead of everything else, you are taking big risks on your future happiness.”
