I first heard about starter marriages a couple of Saturdays ago on Fox and Friends. This is something that Ayn Rand might have appreciated. I can't say that I will ever be in favor of starter marriages. I thought about bringing this up then, but definitely wanted to do so after richrobinson's post about his grandparents.

You may recall Dennis Prager lamenting a degradation of the culture via a secular philosophy instead of a religious-based philosophy. I am not going to defend him here, but this is undoubtedly one symptom of what Prager was talking about.

I would like to hear people's opinions on the effects of starter marriages on any children born of these relationships as well.
