This Matrimony Is Full of Holes!

Posted on August 26, 2018 by Nathan

I seem to recall reading that the phrase “sanctity of marriage” wasn’t used until fairly recently, and was pretty much just a response to how marriage is changing in our society. That must not be entirely true, because a quick … Continue reading →
