Interesting theory. Marriage is certainly not obsolete. Even Gays believe in the institution of marriage which is why they fight for it. I would have liked to see this explained as to why is important for man and woman to marry. I feel like that wasn't expressed enough.

...but instead offers a weak condemnation of evolutionary theory based entirely on circular "reasoning." The author's intellectual laziness is also reflected in his poor grammar.

I just finished reading this book, and I was blown away by how the author brought out God's view and purpose for marriage. It was very thorough, logical and well supported by Scripture. My favorite quote: "There can be no more wonderful physical blessing in this mortal human life than a happy marriage, based on true love, honor, integrity and faithfulness—especially when there are growing children to love, care for, teach and rear in the nurture and admonition of the Lord Jesus Christ." It's very inspiring!
