I believe the institution of marriage was created for the raising of the children, not to "constrain people".
Someone to provide for the family and someone to raise the children before schools were set up to become the institutional "babysitters" they are today.
Perhaps in today's world marriage is not of the same value it was, but many, myself included, feel that it is the break up of the family unit and the two wage earner parents, that has contributed the most to our problems with drugs, gangs and street violence in America.
Wouldn't most of you accept monogamy if it meant a return to a safer way of life?
Of course, it makes absolutely no sense, to me, for anyone to marry before they have had numerous partners, and not just marry someone because they are the first person who'll have sex with them.
My heart is sad
