Even though many couples are choosing to marry later in life, our laws haven't been updated to address dating partner abuse.

Marriage has historically been in the domain of the States to regulate.

I believe that anybody who gets married should go to a counselor for months before the wedding. I think that's going to save guys a lot of money and the ladies a lot of heartbreak.

Out of control judicial activism threatens traditional marriage in America.

A lot of people seem to want to make the institution of marriage substitute for a real relationship.

Too many couples break up without understanding the consequences for their families.

Instead, I think over the years we have cut the strength of marriage and relationships by the law and weakened the institution. We have tried to deal with relationships with no-fault divorce, with child custody, with so many other avenues; and it has not helped.

Marriage is nature's way of keeping us from fighting with strangers.

We humans are hard to deal with. We are a loud, complex and demanding bunch. Often, we are best dealt with from a safe distance and for only brief periods of time. This could be why a lot of marriages fail.

I'm not a great believer in marriages as an institution, or even in very long term relationships. I'm not sure we're built that way.
