Are you and your spouse pushed one step closer to divorce each time a gay couple in Canada marries?

Question

Or, does it not affect your marriage because Canadians aren't God's children or aren't human or some such thing?

Answer 1

Yes, and the next time the USA is attacked it will be because of gay marriage in Canada.

Pat Robertson, I CALLED IT!!!

Answer 2

not unless you can link lying, cheating, and porn problems all on the homosexuals.

I don't get people that have issues with gay marriage.

Marriage is/was first an foremost a legal contract between 2 people on file with the state and federal government proclaiming the 2 said people share financial and personal responsibilitiy of each other.

The reading of the vows are the only "Religious" part of a marriage. You go to a state office to get a marriage license, you can have it signed by the Justice of the Peace (don't even need a preacher in this) and then the paper work is filed with the state governements.....

What does 2 people sharing their life together, if they are happy have a hill of beans to do with YOUR happiness?

Answer 3

It does'nt effect my marriage. I was one of the many canadians protesting when the same sex issue came up, yes I have sent many letters, just sent one today. You will notice that the Harper government never reopened the issue as they promised?
Yes, we canadians are aware of the big old, "God Blessed" America, and the propaganda it puts out to the world. I'm glad I don't friken live there, the tornado capital of the world. I guess youse guys have a lot to be proud of, eh?
When Rick Mercer asked, What do Americans think of other parts of the world?
The Answer, - Americans don't think of other parts of the world, they are self centered. They think they are the be all, and, end all, of the universe, like the Idumians.

Answer 4

I'm not married.

If I were married, no, gay marriage in Canada wouldn't make me more likely to divorce -- but that's not the point, Penguin.

The point is that "gay marriage" involves the changing of the definition of marriage to suit the agenda of a small "sexual minority."

Members of this minority already have the right to marry. They have just as much a right to marry a member of the opposite sex, as you and I do.

"It doesn't affect you" is not a sufficient reason to allow something.

After all, it won't affect any of us one bit if it becomes legal to hunt bald eagles.

But does "it doesn't affect you" mean that it should be okay to kill them?

No, it does not. There are other reasons for allowing or disallowing things that go beyond "it doesn't affect you."

Despite the onslaught of pro-gay messages in the media and the popular culture, the fact remains that most Americans DO NOT WANT LEGALIZED "GAY MARRIAGE."

Sorry, I put that in all-caps, just in case a penguin's eyesight isn't as good as an eagle's.

Answer 5

maximum of what you assert is sound, apart from your assertion that "marriage is a non secular ceremony". i'm married, and we had a extremely super wedding ceremony ceremony. there became no church or clergyman in contact, nor became there ever any point out of God. The officiant became purely rather a lot a Justice of the Peace who traveled and he gave an easy "real" marriage decree as quickly as we recited our own vows we had written, as quickly as lower back completely with out faith of any style. purely because of the fact maximum folk decide directly to make their wedding ceremony a non secular ceremony (even people who are not non secular- I never understood that) does not propose marriage can purely be valid if faith is in contact. yet your different factors do make some experience and that i might wish it became a compromise that the two aspects might include.

Answer 6

Yes and no.
There is one thing for sure though, we need to build a 20 foot high concrete wall across the entire border with glass on top. Perhaps the glass should be Labats Blue.

Answer 7

First off, being a child of God has nothing to do with your nationality. It totally depends on if you have accepted His free gift of salvation or not.

To answer your question, my marriage is not at all dependant on anyone but God, myself and my wife. If you are child of God, then hopefully you would see homesexuals (or anybody) as a person who God loves and desperately wants to see come to a personal relationship with God. Just because you dislike a particular sin someone committs doesn't mean God doesn't love them. To decide who should be able to come to God or not is a very non-compassionate idea. God sees all sinners the same, regardless of what sin the have committed. He loves them, and wants them to accept His will for their life.

Answer 8

Civil marriage is a bastardization of religious marriage....

As long as any marriage law does not require Churches to marry people to civil law requirements......what does it matter.

Churches have their marriage and divorce rules....the civil one have another set of rules.

Civil marriage allows any hetero to marry and divorce for any reason.....not even close to most religions rules....Tom Cruise was denied a Catholic marriage.....but got a civil one....

Answer 9

Yeah, it somehow undermines every heterosexual marriage in the world, except maybe the polygamous ones.




That is sarcasm, by the way. I'm not even married!

Answer 10

No, gay marriage doesn't affect my long-standing marriage at all. I believe in marriage rights for everyone, regardless of where they're at or who they love.
