Yeah, in certain circumstances people are going to have incentives to break promises (and/or contracts). I don't think that this is specific to marriage, and I don't think it makes the concept of marriage invalid.
You cannot, or at least should not, ask people to contract to that which they cannot perform. Thus, moment to moment consent to sex, requires in practice moment to moment consent to marriage, which abolishes marriage. Abolishing marriage violates freedom of contract.
Which is not moral progress.
I don't understand this.
NOTE: please, no-one downvote the parent. I don't want another conversation cut off mid-discussion by the Troll Toll.
It's not as though people cannot obey a marriage contract that requires moment to moment consent to sex.
