In Short: In today's society, this is an issue. No matter where your stance is on the issue, it is important to look at it from all angles and understand the facts. I recommend this video to all.This video is well put together. The information is well presented and has good organization and a good pace. Like other issue-documentaries, it tries to tug on your heart strings to make a point, but garshdarnit, I agree with them and have a hard time looking at it through an objective lens. Since that is the case, I just put together some interesting facts and statements from the film. And, honestly, I recommend people watch this for themselves.
Some History on Marriage:
- It is constantly shifting to suit culture and economy.
- Marriage was secular until 1215, when the Catholic church declared it a sacrament.Engagement was when signed marriage contact, ceremony was when you exchanged property. Or began a business partnership.
- Often apprentices couldn't become masters until they had a wife to make food, clean the shop, keep the books, etc Feudal marriage is the traditional marriage. The wife needed to know how to work stables, or whatever so the family wouldn't starve.
- When men went off to factories, marriage was shaken free of its need. All thts left is love and sex. The new, radical, marriage was based on love.
- Now you can make your own living, you don't need a partner with a certain set of skills and can pick who you love.
A question to opposition:
Why do you not want your fellow men and women, your fellow Americans to be happy? Why do you attack them? Why do you want to destroy the love they hold in their hearts? Why do you want to crush their hopes, their dreams, their longings, their aspirations? We are talking about human beings, people like you, people who want to get married, buy a house, and spend their lives with the one they love. They have done no wrong.
