Marriage
Marriage is a vow between a man? and a woman to share their lives together and of sexual exclusivity, which means they won't have sex with anyone else, until at least one of them dies.
Marriage is a human universal. All cultures and societies have had marriage. Married people report much higher quality of life. If you want to have regular sex, get married.
Marriage solves so many problems. It gives the woman a partner who promises to stay with her even when she gets old. It gives children a guarantee of two parents, which they badly need. It keeps STIs from spreading. And, if the vow is kept, it keeps women available in society for marriage.
"'And the two are united into one.’" — Mark 10:8a (NLT)
