I also didn't say two people who don't currently plan to have children can't or shouldn't get married.

And whos been defining this? The definitions i've heard throughout my life have been that "marriage is a union between two that love each other" (this is from family, school and church). Procreation has never been said until you stated it in that post. Perhaps thats the way its been defined in your particular culture, which would explain the differences in our opinions.

But if thats the case, why should one particular culture's definition be the definition for other cultures?
