Fairytale threat to marriage ; PEOPLE [Edition 2] [South Wales Evening Post (Wales)]


(South Wales Evening Post (Wales) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) THE dream of a fairytale -- and very expensive -- wedding is a threat to marriage itself, according to the former Archbishop of Canterbury.

Swansea Valley-born Rowan Williams condemned the massive marketing industry that surrounds weddings.



Speaking at a conference of lawyers he said: "As a society there is much yet to resolve around male roles, and we need to take a long hard look at the marketisation of marriage. This, I believe, poses the greatest threat to long term-successful marriages." (c) 2014 ProQuest Information and Learning Company; All Rights Reserved.
