What is Marriage?
To some people, marriage is a union between a man and a woman, but mostly it is two people showing their devotion towards each other. Many people get married for financial support, while in other countries they marry for love. Some are arranged and some are vegas weddings. I think that it is fair to say that people marry to show their dedication and love. Sex should not be an issue when it comes to marriage, since it is a personal decision, and should be regarded as a choice. He also lists the benefits of being married, so that the audience can see why most couples decide to get married, and why homosexuals really want to get married. I think that another large aspect of Wolfson's argument is that in order for his audience to truly see the whole picture, he cannot just concentrate on one aspect of sex. This is probably why he tried to avoid mentioning sex in parts of his writing. I just wish he would also put some emohasis on the family aspect of marriage, because it is my opinion that the desire to start a family can also have an impact on this topic.
