'''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. In the civilized Western world marriage as an institution between one man and one woman has been a cornerstone of community for many hundreds of years. Recently there has been a push by [[liberal]]s for "same-sex marriage" however this supposed form of "marriage" has no basis in scripture, common law, the constitution, biology, or American social tradition.

==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.
