- Amid all the emotion over same-sex marriage, the limited-government
argument for marriage as uniting a man and a woman keeps getting short
shrift. It fell to me to make that case during a discussion of marriage
law and the Supreme Court with the worthy S.E. Cupp on a recent
installment of “Real News from The Blaze,” and I’d like to flesh out
those thoughts here.
For starters, virtually every political community has regulated male-female sexual relationships. This is not because government cares about romance as such. Government recognizes male-female sexual relationships because these alone produce new human beings.
For highly dependent infants, there is no path to physical, moral, and cultural maturity—no path to personal responsibility—without a long, delicate process of ongoing care and supervision to which mothers and fathers bring unique gifts. Unless children mature, they never will become healthy, upright, productive members of society.
