God did not define marriage, he only defined free will. It was religion that defined marriage, and government, using religions’ definition, devised ways of taxing and controlling it. Marriage is only a fairly recent convention.
With a divorce rate exceeding 50 percent, something tells me that marriage is inherently wrong. In original societies on Earth, the young were not told, “You make your bed, you sleep in it.” Their children were accepted and raised by the tribe, not abandoned and left for the young to raise. Elders were respected and acted as mentors to the children. It is only recent “civilized” society that made feelings, love and sex something dirty.
There is something seriously wrong with a society that thinks it’s OK to watch a movie of a man getting his guts blown out, but evil for a woman to bare her breast on TV.
