HODGES - Four principles and traditions demonstrate that the reasons marriage is fundamental under the Constitution -1. personal choice regarding marriage is inherent in the concept of individual autonomy;2. a two-person union unlike any other in its importance to the committed individuals;3. it safeguards children and families and thus draws meaning from related rights of childrearing, procreation, and education;(a) Without the recognition, stability, and predictability marriage offers, children suffer the stigma of knowing their families are somehow lesser. (b) They also suffer the significant material costs of being raised by unmarried parents, relegated to a more difficult and uncertain family life.(c) Precedent protects the right of a married couple not to procreate, so the right to marry cannot be conditioned on the capacity or commitment to procreate.4. marriage is a keystone of the Nation’s social order*TED: Rethinking infidelity ... a talk for anyone who has ever loved at https://www.ted.com/talks/esther_perel_rethinking_infidelity_a_talk_for_anyone_who_has_ever_loved *Please join us and other listeners on:YouTube = https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxxknPCqn8A_kDFLwDUvGfA ;Facebook  - www.facebook.com/HouseholdMANager ;Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mr_instaman...  ;TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mr_homemaker ;Reddit - r/Household_MANagement ;Homepage = http://Mr-Homemaker.com ;*Please support the Mr. Homemaker Podcast athttps://www.patreon.com/Mr_Homemaker *#husband, #father, #marriage, #homemaker, #household, #home, #family, #masculinity, #femininity, #domestic, #career, #worklifebalance, #relationships, #householdmanagement #homemanagement #podcast #couplepodcast, #professionalmom, #mrhomemaker #rethinkmasculinity*
