Marriage

What really defines a marriage?
Ponder that question
Think very deep about it
Can you answer it?

Is a marriage a physical piece of paper used for tax purposes?
Or maybe a very strong relationship?
Does a male/female union define it?
Or can it be any two people who share a love no matter what sex?

Many will define a marriage as a male/female union
And that is very true
I was raised without a religious background
But it doesn’t mean I can’t understand where they are coming from

I have read The Bible twice in my life
I understand that it says a marriage is between a man and a woman
I believe there is a verse that reads:
“Thou shall not lie with mankind, But with womankind”
If you are a devout believer of The Bible
Gay marriage is against it

I personally am for it
I was raised that a marriage is a union
A union between two people who truly love each other
If two people of the same sex want to marry I’m all for it

There are the unfortunate parts of how people use a marriage too
I know of a couple that hated each other’s guts
They married solely to get a bigger tax deduction
It’s technically fraud but there is no way to measure love

My personal belief is this
As long as you love your significant other
You should have the right to marry
Regardless of gender of race

Personally I feel that my country (USA)
Our government is run way too much with a religious mind when it comes to marriage
There is to be a separation of Church and State according to the Constitution
But they have outlawed gay marriage
That to me is basing it off a religious belief
