The day the death bell rang was when the ACLU abandoned its plan for Domestic Partnerships, and instead decided to turn marriage into their domestic partner program -- thus leaving no more availability to the protections and rights that we associate with marriage. But, some argue, we still at least have an institution with the same name, that is good enough right?
But then again, maybe the death began with removing the underlying covenant from marriage. Perhaps we could really say that death of marriage is when it moves from an institution of reproductive responsibility (again protected under legal covenant) to sexual freedom, a change that arguably took place in large degree when no-fault (or unilateral divorce) destroyed the effect of "covenant" in marriage altogether.
Go ahead and read, Daffyd makes a solid point...
