Which is the greater threat to marriage?

Question

A) Two men involved in a loving, monogamous relationship, or

B) Two heterosexuals involved in a loveless marriage?

Answer 1

B, big daddy ... and good point.

Answer 2

Given the choice between the two, and inferring that you are addressing heterosexual "marriage", the clear answer is "B".

To a rational mind the mere instance of a loving (or even one not involving love) relationship between two other people, most importantly when they are unknown to the couple in the failing heterosexual marriage, and whether that other loving couple is homosexual or not, is of no significance whatsoever.

The locus of responsibility falls directly on the married heterosexual couple and no one or nothing else.

To avoid this truth is to avoid responsibility for ones own house.

Best Wishes!

Answer 3

If I had to pick one, I'd say B, because a loveless marriage is not a marriage at all, it's a sham, a joke. People who stay married for the sake of religion because shacking up is so sinful. Just because you have a ring on your figure, and you said "I do" in a church, doesn't make your marriage any more valid than mine would be if I married a man because someone's God says it's a sin to be gay.

Answer 4

B unless the two heterosexuals are the two men involved in a loving monogamous relationship....hence the dl theory (down low)

Answer 5

B definitely because you know in a loveless marriage at some time or another one of them is going to go and find someone to fulfill their needs outside the marriage.

Answer 6

B. And let me tell you, there is no shortage of loveless marriage. About 90% of the marriage licenses issued are to people who are marrying for the wrong reasons.

Answer 7

Good question. I remember a campus flier that was campaigning for gay rights...the question they asked was "Which is worse: Britney Spears getting married and having an annulment less than 48 hours later, or two people of the same gender being in a great relationship and wanting to formalize it?"

It's a great point.

Answer 8

The two main things that break a marriage up is money and sex.
Sex is 60%
Sex usually involving adultery.

Your a & b answers don't really apply.
Your a answer involves homosexuality and fornication.
Your b answer is usually a repairable situation.

Answer 9

For the choices you have listed, I would pick "B", but how can one get involved with sex without love? I don't know, may be you can just for the sake of trying another taste. The first choice could result in feeling pity for the other party, and would cause divorce definitely.

Answer 10

Neither...I am for civil union regardless of gender preference. Take the word "marriage" out of this equation and that's what you're left with...Why you ask? Marriage implies God's (if there is one) sanction. Since we don't really need that sanction to live in a loving relationship than a GENERIC methodolgy reduces this arguement over homosexual union to nothing. FYI if homosexuality is a sin than it can be inferred that LOVE is sinful if directed "improperly"...Can't ever buy that and won't...LOVE is LOVE regardless of gender preference. PEACE!

Answer 11

Neither. How does gay marriage or bad hetero marriage threaten marriage itself? These types oc claims make no sense at all. It's like saying that fat people are a threat to the institution of health.
