Synopsis

This book examines the historical understanding of marriage as a male-female union and defends this traditional view. It argues that redefining civil marriage beyond a conjugal partnership is a mistake, asserting that marriage is a comprehensive union of mind and body between a man and a woman, ordered to family life. The authors critique the idea that equality demands redefining marriage, suggesting that such redefinitions could lead to legal recognition of all relationships, including polyamorous unions.
