Some people should not marry.

There's a fundamental wrong in letting some people marry

Lisa Pryor
March 31, 2007

The views I am about to express are not very fashionable. They are certainly not politically correct. But I believe what I am about to say must be expressed to protect the institution of marriage.

Too often in the media, currency is given to the theory that everyone should be allowed to marry regardless of gender, outlook and whether the two people are creating a suitable family environment in which to bring up children.

Well, it is time to ask some hard questions about this attitude. The only way we will save marriage is to reclaim the institution for the mainstream. Marriage is for normal people who want to raise children in a healthy and secure environment. This is why we should ban religious fundamentalists from marrying.

1. I've given thought to starting a business that discourages marriages.

They'd have financial planning, legal counseling, and personal counseling. Concentrate on the marriage more than the wedding.

2. I think your subject line is supposed to say weddings? n/t

5. Unfortunately in this culture, those two institutions are interchangeable.

One is definitely not the same as the other.

7. I'm confused, are you discouraging "marriage" or the ceremony (the wedding)? n/t

11. Discouraging getting married b/c you want the wedding and

forgetting about staying together after fighting over money, family, etc. Marriage isn't for everyone at any time.
