marriage
Sorry if this is a dumb thread, but my mom and I were discussing the topic for hours and never really came to any conclusions. I just wanted to see what everyone else had to say.
What is marriage? If you "marry" someone without the church or any legal marriage is it still marriage? Also, for what cultures is it true that to be officially married, you have to have sexual intercourse (therefore making it impossible for gays to marry depending on your definitions and so on)? I'll admit that the real topic of our discussion was same-sex marriage, but I'd rather not get into that. I just want to hear your opinions on marriage in general. If you agree that sexual intercourse is necessary to finalize the marriage, how do you explain the tradition of the "Virgin" Mary? |
