THAT argument only holds water if history began 2000 years ago!
I have news for you:
There have been marriages and families LONG before any of the monotheistic religions...so no sorry, the holy books did not invent marriage, they simply sanction it.

Now if you believe that is a necessity or not will depend on your belief system (which religion you follow, if any, etc...).

Stay safe all.

Perfection does not exist. The question therefore,
is: what level of imperfection are we willing to settle for?
