Adam and Eve were Married and commaned to multiply and replenish the earth before the fall. There was no death in the world then.
Marriage is instituted by God, and therefore is Eternal. Or at least can be.
If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin

And couples shouldn't be getting divorced. Especially not nearly at the level they are currently doing it.
I know that in some circumstances, because of man's weakness, divorces are right. But too many people are divorcing for purely selfish reason. And in doing so they destroy their families for generations to come.

The Tudor dynasty. Well known for Henry VIII and his many wives, including several annulments (de fact~ divorce) and executions.

I wonder how many other versions of "marriage" will make it or court or the law before the word is completely meaningless. or we have to start using adjectives before and after the word to have any idea what we're talking about.

I think we just need a core group of Americans honoring marriage by getting married and staying married. I heard a sermon the other day, the best thing a man can do to raise a daughter is to love her mother. Our children need to be rooted in good values. that way if the world around us goes to hell, and it's heading there, we can correct it and our posterity will be the ones who lead it back to sanity.
Maybe im wrong. I dont know. Im not sure about alot of things lately. But I know that we aren't living the way God wants us to be living.

Yeah? How do you figure?

Problem is, we've romanticized what marriage is. Originally, it wasn't even about love, really. It's been a way of solidifying treaties, it's been pluralistic, it's been abusive, etc.. People forget that romantic love as a reason for marriage as a good thing is somewhat new. The other 10,000 years, it's been something else entirely. I don't think we're gonna do any damage nowadays that's gonna take it down.

Whether marriage lasts or not, the bigger problem is people who no longer have faith in certain institutions (marriage, church) attempting to talk others out of their faith.
