- Description
- This paper by Dennis S. Roberts explores the dynamic history of marriage, highlighting its fluid nature and continuous evolution over centuries. It dissects the varied forms of marriage, from monogamous to same-sex, and how economic, social, and political changes have shaped the institution. The discourse on marriage equality and the legal, theological, and social battles it has engendered are central, illustrating the deeply personal and societal implications. Key themes include the non-traditional nature of marriage, its role in power and wealth preservation, the shift towards love-based unions, and the impact of gender equality and gay rights movements on the institution. The paper concludes optimistically, noting marriage's resilience and the hopeful expansion of marriage rights.
