The Definition of Marriage
Now for what this site is all about: The Definition of Marriage. What we give here is
based on what we've already covered in the
Why Marriage and the
Purpose of Marriage
sections of our site. The first and most important definition, socially, is designed
specifically for the legal and political arenas:
"Marriage is for the care of children and to ensure that they are both
contributors to society and not a direct burden on its government. This is to be
restricted to the original parents of the children or suitable replacements fitting
the same requirements of citizenship, gender, marital privilage, and proper
governmental registration."
It's not glamorous, but it does make the process of creating laws much more simple and
less open to interpretation. There is no religious bias, scientific bias, or even
social bias implied in this statement.
By adopting this definition of marriage there are other benefits to society. It will
help ensure an improved care system for children and also proivde preventative measures
for abuses, both child and marital. If the institution of marriage improves in our
society there will be less crime, more prosperity, and less visits to the
psychiatrist.
