    Contrasting Views of Marriage (Part 4): The Destructive Logic of Marriage Revisionism

    I have argued for the historic view of marriage as a conjugal union and made what I think are decisive objections to your view of marriage as committed sexual-romantic companionship or domestic partnership.
