Rob c'mon. Where do babies come from?

Of course marriage is degraded these days. Heterosexuals did that. Personally I was hoping that the pain and chaos of it all would wake people up and there'd be vigorous calls for marriage renewal.

Instead, apparently, rather than fixing it some of us want to solidify the chaos in law by doing away with marriage all together. So people like me are piping up now. A bit astonished at the whole thing.

The standard still exists, despite all the factors that militate against people reaching that standard - for the sake of children, the couple themselves, and the nation. Pretending 3 or 4 people, or two men in a bed make a marriage and asking for government fiat won't help our guilty feelings. It will just double down on the problem.
