Man and woman who come together in marriage have "become one flesh" before God. It remains to be seen how little we understand of this rule of life.

There are myriad reasons why such results, destructive elements in any culture, appear, including:Higher rates of cervical cancer.

Spread of genital warts.A growing loss of commitment to marriage and children by fathers and
