[edit] Remarriage
As part of the APS Wikipedia Initiative, I am planning to create a separate page for remarriage (removing the current redirect to this page). I have enough information to add about remarriage (following divorce and widowhood respectively) that it seems to make more sense to create a separate page so that this one does not get too long. I will cover the topic primarily by summarizing related psychology and sociology research. If anyone is interested in contributing other aspects of remarriage let me know. Thanks!

Link up other, more specific wiki pages on more specific information on marriage, for example: Marriage_in_the_United_States

[edit] Challenge to the claim that marriage law has always been a subject of "major concern" in Christianity.
The claim under the discussion of Christianity and marriage that marriage law and theology have always been a major concern of Christianity is simply not true. Marriage was long considered a matter of minor importance to the church, to the point that marriages were not even blessed inside the church, but blessings were relegated to the church steps. It was not until the 12th c. that the Church began to consider marriage a sacrament, and not until the Council of Trent that marriage required the presence of a priest and two witnesses.

[edit] Public
Marriages tend to be public and formal, so i think the lede should mention marriages are public and formal. Pass a Method talk 19:36, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
- The long tradition of marriage includes many that are not public (marriage used to be simply a matter of mutual agreement), and many that are not formal (formalization came later, and we continue to have things like "common-law marriages"). That they are often public and often formalized is not hidden from the introduction; it need not be in the opening sentence where we explain what marriage is.. --Nat Gertler (talk) 20:08, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Edit request
Please add Non-sex Marriage to your definitions. It is simply marriage between two human beings, irrespective of gender or sexual orientation. See www.nonsexmarriage.org for more info. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.220.168.14 (talk) 01:29, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
- Checking the Google News archives, I see that this term gets zero hits. It does not appear to be a term used significantly in discussion, and should not be included. --Nat Gertler (talk) 01:35, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

- A Google Search for Non-sex marriage returns: About 98,300,000 results in (0.32 seconds)There is also an entire website devoted to this type of marriage. NatGertler is attempting to quash an opposing viewpoint. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.220.168.14 (talk) 01:28, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

- No, actually, a general Google search for the phrase "non-sex marriage" returns a claim of 205,000 matches... and then when you go to page through them, you find it's only thirteen unique hits. This is not a term in common use. That someone made a web page to try to promote the term does not mean that Wikipedia needs to promote it. --Nat Gertler (talk) 01:49, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
NatGertler is attempting to suppress a viewpoint that he does not share. NatGertler is a homophobe who has a play on words for the offensive 'God Hates Fags' slur on his homepage. Please help!!!!! Stop this oppression! Wiki is supposed to represent all viewpoints!!!!
- If you wish to engage in personal attacks (and particularly ill-informed ones, to boot), kindly take them to my talk page - you'll find a link for it at the end of this message. If you want to engage in policy-based discussion about the editing of this article, that's what this page is here for. But no, it's not true that "Wiki is supposed to represent all viewpoints" - see WP:FRINGE]. --Nat Gertler (talk) 01:53, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Improve request
Please improve the article World Marriage Day, which may be deleted very soon. Mrutyunjaya Kar (talk) 01:02, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Etymology improve request
Please include under the etymology heading: Marriage comes from the Latin: matrimonium whose prefix is matri- meaning "motherhood" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.163.133.170 (talk) 23:29, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
- I think you've confused "marriage", which comes from the Latin "maritatus", with "matrimony". If you have some source to the contrary, please point us to it. --Nat Gertler (talk) 00:33, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
