-— HOWEVER, marriage was designed for the procreation of children and the establishment of a strong parental unit/home.-—
The break in the. Dam occurred when intercourse was separated from procreation with the acceptance of various means of induced sterility, aka, birth control.
Paul VI’s encyclical, On the Regulation of Birth, was prophetic.
There is honestly a lot of truth in that.
Marriage used to be defined as a man and a woman coming together to form a family with (God willing) kids.
Then it became a contract to.. well just have fun.
