I've talked to them both. You're saying that the only reason anyone gets married is to have children? |
No I said marriage is and has been defined as a union between a man and a woman for the purpose of procreation. Only your co-worker and the co-workers spouse know why they got married, but I bet it ends up with a baby in somebody's arms, as long as one is a male and the other female.
I also didn't say two people who don't currently plan to have children can't or shouldn't get married. |
And whos been defining this? The definitions i've heard throughout my life have been that "marriage is a union between two that love each other" (this is from family, school and church). Procreation has never been said until you stated it in that post. Perhaps thats the way its been defined in your particular culture, which would explain the differences in our opinions.
But if thats the case, why should one particular culture's definition be the definition for other cultures?
