Defining Marriage...

In today's world it is so hard to define marriage. No matter what you think it means you will be hurting someones feelings. There is no place for people to have their own opinion these days. In a world that is so transfixed on technology it is easy to see why people think that the world is a much less nice place than it was 50 years ago. I disagree however I think that people are the same they have always been and we are just seeing more of it because they are more accessible to us. So....here I speak about the most controversial topic in the world right now. I dont think that we should be taking away the free agency of others and I believe that we are supposed to love the sinner not the sin. However this why most people think that they shouldnt be able to get married.

I believe that marriage is between a man and a women.
I believe that is because...

1. men and women are inherently different. They have different personalities, different qualities, different ways that their minds work. Which is why they are meant to be together, they are two halves that make a whole.
2. To protect the children. A child needs to be raised by both man and women, to see how both man and women act.
3. it is confusing for children, children with two moms or two dads will become confused and ask hard questions about why they don't have a mom or a dad which could leave lasting consequences.

I propose we fight for love

Isn't it interesting how there are so many different self help books out there? They have books on every topic and every problem you could possible have even marriage problems.
I was watching a clip on marriage that said that peole you cohabitate before marriage tend to have Higher divorce rate than those that just get married. Now this didn't really make sense to me because it would make sense that if you have a trial period of living together before marriage that the marriage is more likely to suceed because you already know what you are getting yourself into. Howwver, it seems like that is not the case.
The woman in the clip said that those who cohabitate before marriage have a higher divorce rate because they look as marriage as something that isn't permanant. They look at it as a trial, something that they can easily get out of if they don't like their life or situation anymore. I think that is just the motto for our generation though. The generation before us was to fix something that is broken and ours is to get rid of it and buy a new one and we seem to apply this to every aspect of our lives.
So... This is what I propose. I propose we stay, fight, and fix it. I propose that instead of throughout out the old refurbishing it and makikng it into something better. I propose that when things get tough we take a step back and look at ourselves and see what we are doing wrong and then stay and fight for what we want.
I propose we fight for love.
