Rogan just won't listen to Walsh's point on the meaning and purpose of marriage. Rogan can only see it in the standard "what's wrong with gays getting married?" angle and personal choice. He cannot grasp what marriage is actually for, having and raising offspring in a stable environment, and that people pretending they're married and calling it that waters down the meaning and the respect for the institution. He just keeps whining on and on about "but what's the harm?" The faggots and child-free idiots can just call it co-habitation or something.

  1. You get married, eek out a healthy kid with medical help for infertility, and then the kid chokes on a peanut and dies at age 2. It took $80k to have that kid and you're out of money.

  2. You have three kids ages 17-22 and all three die together in a car crash. Wife is too old for more kids.

  3. You have two kids ages 25 and 29 and they're both married and you're an empty nester, too old for more.

So... if marriage is for having kids it might be good to elaborate on the above scenarios. Answer specifically, if marriage is for kids, why is it for life? Also, if all the kids die is marriage still for life?

What's your point? If you had kids you had a family and it is up to you to make it work. Just because your kids have left home it doesn't mean that they are no longer your responsibility, they are your legacy and it is your duty as their parent to help them succeed. Kids are your responsibility for life, your responsibility doesn't end simply because they grew up, your children will inherit your wealth and if you raised them well will give you grandchildren. Divorcing after the kids leave home means losing influence over your grandchildren.

At the point you can't have kids and don't have them but are with someone you love and in a healthy relationship you could choose to adopt orphan kids and ensure that lost and forgotten children don't grow up unloved and become criminals. A childless family can still have value through adoption.

If you lose kids and don't want more then your marriage doesn't have a function so it is irrelevant.

If you are gay you shouldn't have kids regardless so there is no possibility a gay marriage would have value.
