From Heritage: "162 Reasons to Marry"; also "Definition of Marriage" plus a Jack Benny story

Family Research Council    ...."The future of the human race and all its component societies is embodied in each new- born. Whether that newborn grows to be a strong, capable adult depends much on the marriage of his parents. Whether he is physically strong; whether she is intelligent; whether he is hardworking or a dropout; whether she will be mentally healthy and happy; whether he will be more educated; whether she will marry in her own turn; whether he will be a taxpayer or a drain on the commons; whether she enjoys her own sexuality to the full; whether he worships and prays; whether she has children and how many; whether he finishes high school and goes to college or learns a trade; whether she is law-abiding; whether he grows old with a family surrounding him—all these most desirable outcomes (common goods) are strongly connected to the strength of the marriage of that child’s parents."....


Definition of Marriage by Kerby Anderson  "Their latest survey of 1,500 adults found that nearly two-thirds (62%) of Americans agreed with this statement: “I believe marriage should be defined only as the union of one man and one woman.”
"The results stand in stark contrast to the media template being used today that most Americans are ready to change the definition of marriage."
Kerby Anderson serves as a visiting professor at Dallas Theological Seminary, Philadelphia Biblical University, and Temple Baptist Seminary. He has spoken on dozens of university campuses including University of Michigan, Vanderbilt University, Princeton University, Johns Hopkins University, University of Colorado and University of Texas.


Jack Benny
Yes, there ARE great marriages in Hollywood   "The day after Benny died, a single, long-stemmed red rose was delivered to Mary Livingstone Benny, his wife of nearly 48 years. After several days, with another rose delivered each day, Mary called the florist to find out who was sending them. The florist told her that Benny had made arrangements for a rose to be sent to her every day for the rest of her life, and included a provision in his will for the deliveries -- a touching and romantic final gesture for a man born on Valentine's Day."


"Benny's sarcophagus contains the simple inscription, "A gentle man."
Buried with Benny is his wife, Mary Livingstone Benny (1906 - 1983), his co-star on both his radio and television shows.
