The bedrock of marriage has for the better part always been between a man and a woman, period! Now, if you'd care to prove otherwise then please feel free to do so. And try keeping it in the Eurocentric and American perspectives and not some tiny village in South America or something.

Well, how about the biblical examples... David had multiple wives, as did Solomon, Abraham, Lot, Job, and a whole lot more of the 'rightious'.
The problem is that from one man, many women, we passed to one man one woman plus lovers(the one who could afford), one 60 years old widower plus 1 20 years woman....................and so on. Care to redefine?, don't push outside America or Europe or you'll give us the best argument ever.

You mean the fact that gay marriages are performed, and the couples are living happily in places such as Belgium, Norway, Canada and the Netherlands? Or the fact that homosexual couples are going strong in both "American and Eurocentric perspectives?" There are several couples going on 50 years strong, even without the title of marriage to bind them. I feel they deserve the title far more than Britney after getting a quickie hitchie.
If your bed's rock, you're doing it wrong. (If the bed rocks, though, you're doing it right.)
