THE LAST WORD: Maggie Gallagher

I'd like to leave as the last word (which might not have been noticed in all these fascinating posts) this striking thought by Dan Cere:

Charles Taylor warns that a fundamental malaise of modern culture is the erosion of meaning from vital social institutions. Marriage is being emptied of meaning. It is becoming a toy--a plaything for subjective wants and preferences. This collapse of social meaning is far more deadly to marriage than any polygamous alternative.
