New version that isn't an attack on Republicans
Marriage is a religious institution which binds a man and a woman together for life.
'''Marriage''' is a form of [[interpersonal relationship]]. Most often, it takes the form of a union between a [[man]] and a [[woman]], however, other forms, such as [[polygyny]] (one man and more than one woman), [[polyandry]] (one woman and more than one man), and [[group marriage]] (any number of men, any number of women) exist.

==Christianity==
In most branches of Christianity, marriage is a life-long religious union between a man and a woman.
==Mormonism==
Historically, [[Mormonism]] has practiced polygyny. It stopped being a part of mainstream Mormonism in 1890, but some fringe groups still practice it.
==Civil marriage==
Civil marriage is a legal [[contract]] between two or more adults. It gives each member certain rights and obligations. Most commonly, these include [[power of attorney]], [[inheritance]] rights, and rights in relation to any children they may have.
