Maybe for "the good of society" they should be forced to have children then.
...at the very least, a bunch of parents should get together and donate a couple of their own to the childless couple. Say, eight or nine left on the doorstep with the paperwork all filled out. Say between the ages of 17 and 28.
I did not say that. I will say that a society that gives equal "status" (recognition - searching for the word) to non precreators as to mothers and fathers is exhibiting a tendency toward self destruction.
Your sarcastic remark may actually be the premis of Mr homo-advocate Wolf's article. His premise is that marriage is FORCED to be about children which it should only be about consenting adults who love entering into a contract based on love and sex. Did I metion the love and sex?
This is not about the people who decide not to have children. Mr Wolf is endevoring to push childless marriage as the norm to support his homosexual marriage causes.
We should be focusing less on why an individual normal couple makes the decision and focus more on why marriage AS AN INSTITTUION is centered on children. As FR we need to go deeper into a article and the author than mere surface anecdotes. What is this guy's bias? Why only anecdotes? (classic homo-advocacy writing BTW, just happy happy anecdotes)
