This book defends the conjugal view of marriage. Patrick Lee and
Robert P. George argue that marriage is a distinctive type of
community: the union of a man and a woman who have committed to
sharing their lives on every level of their beings (bodily,
emotionally, and spiritually) in the kind of union that would be
fulfilled by conceiving and rearing children together. The
comprehensive nature of this union, and its intrinsic orientation
to procreation as its natural fulfillment, distinguishes marriage
from other types of community and provides the basis for the norms
of marital exclusivity and permanence. Lee and George detail how
the basic moral norms regarding sexual acts follow from the ethical
requirement to respect the good of marriage and explain how the law
should treat marriage, given its conjugal nature, examining both
the same-sex-marriage issue and civil divorce.
