The Purpose of Marriage

Here's a report (link) that "A German couple who went to a fertility clinic after eight years of marriage have found out why they are still childless - they weren't having sex."

A clinic spokesman said, "We are not talking retarded people here, but a couple who were brought up in a religious environment who were simply unaware, after eight years of marriage, of the physical requirements necessary to procreate."

Guess no one told them that the purpose of marriage is procreation, eh?

To my mind, this situation makes a travesty of marriage. That a married couple could be childless for eight years, is a repudiation of the sacred institution of marriage. We need a Constitutional Amendment making it illegal for childless couples to marry. Otherwise, Western Civilization will collapse!
