Alright, I'm not sure, but I think I'm with you... so marriage is, at its roots, about a family, right? I can agree with that, in principle.
So should heterosexual couples who don't want to have children not be allowed to marry? My godparents have been married for 27 years, but they decided early that they didn't want to have children, and so my godmother had her tubes tied.
However, they are very much in love, and very much a family... they breed shelties. It's kind of cute. That's just an example, there are lots of married couples out there who aren't families, in the traditional sense of the word, but they're still in love, right?
Should they not be allowed to marry because they don't want to produce offspring? And what about homosexual couples who want to adopt? If they are allowed to adopt a child, can't they be considered a family then?
