Committing Adultery A marriage is full of moral ethics that should be followed. Kant would have agreed with me that we have moral duties to ones self and others. A marriage is committing moral thoughts‚ words‚ and actions to yourself and your spouse. Kant believed in treating other people the way you wish they would treat you.
