I think it's funny that some are saying tradition has nothing to do with marriage and then post a link from a pastor's sermon. Hmm, last I checked, a pastor was a religious figure. This puts the argument square back into the realm of religion again. It seems to be he gets in his digs against more "conservative" religions. His argument is as much about endorsing his own religious views as anything else. Let me mention again that he is a religious figure and lists no concrete facts besides a kind of idealism to support his claims. The history of marriage as it has existed in other parts of the world has no relevance to the current state of marriage here in this country right now.
