"my stance is for traditional marriage , a union of man and woman for the reason of procreation , the development of a family , offspring , children , the family unit for guidance , support and the carrying on of the family genes , name , history "
but, it was never for that historically -- it was for control --
control of the chattel -- control of the woman -- control of the lineage
procreating went on whether marriage existed or not ------- ask any teenager who has had an accident.
Marriage was for - all the wrong reasons --------------- we just like to dress it up like lipstick on a pig.
It's really about as advanced as slavery in reality.
