A Christian perspective on why the legal notion of marriage is outdated: Ekklesia, "a think-tank and news service that promotes radical theological ideas in public life" asks: Abolish marriage - What future for marriage?

What is called ‘marriage’ today is essentially a civil contract which can be dissolved or re-entered as many times as necessary. Superimposed on that is a Christian ideal of lifelong fidelity which many accept as ‘a nice idea’, but which is not what they are really choosing, and whose basis in a community of faith they often do not understand or accept.
