The folks who scream the loudest about the sanctity of the institution of marriage in the US are those most likely to get divorced.
Massachusetts, the archetypal blue state, has the lowest rate of divorce, while the red states have the highest divorce rate, with Nevada having the highest (a waking up married thing?), followed by Arkansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, etc.
It's a sea of red in the divorce sweepstakes.
Why should people who claim to revere marriage, make a mockery of a life long commitment?
Because they are lousy lovers.
They enter marriage young, with a limited number, or no, previous partners, and they do not know how to please each other.
Marriage is more than setting up house, it's about the pleasure that two people who love each other can give.
In order to protect marriage, we need to make sure that the bride and groom understand their bodies and the bodies of their spouse to be.
Sex education before marriage, not about reproduction, but about pleasure, needs to be required to get married.
Some states require blood tests and waiting periods before getting married, so why not sex ed?
