Karen: "Do you consider the marriage of an elderly widow and widower to be a distortion of marriage? Or a young couple that is either disinclined or unable to have children?" What an interesting argument. There can be no doubt that marriage has historically existed, not for the protection of the parties involved in the marriage but for the protection of children. In time past when most people marrie young had kids. the wife took care of the kids and the husband was the breadwinner, this probably worked out in 99% of the cases. Society has changed a lot. Is this a permanent change? Who knows? But your comment is thought provoking. Suppose we redefined marriage and said it could only occur when there are children. That two people who have children either biological or adopted are deemed married by that fact. I wonder where that would lead us. Any thoughts? Little joe
