Consent Does Not End At I Do.
<p>Marriage as a formal or legal union between two people is based on consent, request, and approval; it takes more than one person to be in a marriage. While procreation is a traditional reason for marriage, the requirements of consent and safety remain constant even when children are not the goal. This brings about the question: "Should there be limits to what married couples can do sexually, or is mutual consent enough?"</p><p>     </p><p> The scope of a married couple's intimacy is defined by the boundaries they establish together. Aside from religion or moral beliefs, as long as they are married, what they choose to do is totally in their hands. While the couple has the freedom to define their own intimacy, that freedom is naturally bounded by the necessity of personal safety and mutual respect.</p><p><br/></p><p>The limits to what a married couple can do also lie within the context of personal safety, ensuring that it doesn’t cause harm to either party. </p><p><br/></p><p>Furthermore, limits lie in the aspect of moral beliefs and personal objectives, based on what a person feels is right, considers a taboo, or deems suitable for them. It’s all based on individual perspectives and agreement, so to say that marriage may permit intimacy, but it does not cancel consent, safety, dignity, or personal conviction, provided there is no harm to either party, mutual consent is absolute as it does not end at I DO.</p>
