With the divorce rate being 50% what is so sacred about marriage?

Question

"Sanctity of marrige" you here this term a lot from anti gay marriage folks.

Answer 1

Yes, the terms are over used and trite. But what is ridiculous is blaming gays, who can't get married in most states, for soaring divorce rates or claiming gays are a threat to marriage.

The simple reality is that gays pay taxes just like everyone else and should be entitled to have legal protections for their relationships. Using religion to deny that takes us one step closer to theocracy.

Answer 2

There wouldn't even be discussion of gay marriage, if the tradition wasn't so heavily eroded.

Marriage by etymology is forever. But we aren't in an era where people understand the meaning of words, history or true concepts in things.

It's about the destruction of the pillars of society. And gay marriage is a tool for this, because that movement is being used by the enemies of the West.

But the main problem is traditional marriage and people building families, rather than progressive ideas based on the weakness of historical practices.

Answer 3

Maybe the 50% divorce rate means that a lot of people should not be getting married in the first place.

Answer 4

I dont know even though I disagree with things like having babies out of wed lock thats a good question. It appears that society in alot of ways is changing for the worst. Lets just say "Was sacred" as opposed to is sacred

Answer 5

The sanctity of marriage remains whether or not 50% of previously married people believe in it or not.

Answer 6

Marriage is a religious ceremony; and has been practiced for centuries, only recently has the goverment involved themselves in spiritual as well as religious ceremonies, and invited themselves into citizens' bedrooms and relationships.


The reasoning is that established families are better for children; this is true, but a parent that is constantly subject to the interference of government involvement in re to private matters is less likely to be as healthy.

Individuals are capable of making their own decisions, without the guidance or constant involvement of the government--or, the plight for equality has in turn become a ground for the pursuit of government management of individual's lives.

What is sad; is that women have found the necessity to collectively pursue rights as a 'we' instead of for 'her', individually--and public policy reflects this via law.

Real feminists are individualists; and 'we' do not hate men or exclude them.

Answer 7

because of the fact an excellent share of folk who use the identify 'Christian' are purely church goers without very own faith in Christ in any respect. "And that a majority of those gay marriage warring parties are in basic terms a team of hypocrites for making the declare that marriage is sacred while it for sure isn't to a lot of them" Do you heavily think of that Christians are the only people who're against gay and lesbian 'marriages'? i understand quite a few atheists and agnostics who think of this is disgusting, ill and entirely against nature.

Answer 8

Yes, another example of hypocrisy.

It's really just a phrase that allows people to hit an emotional trigger button -- it has no practical meaning beyond referring to marriage as a religious status -- which itself would automatically prohibit any such laws, since the govt cannot recognize one religion's doctrines as more valid than any other.

Answer 9

Yeah, you hear a lot of other rubbish from the anti-gay marriage folks too. Best to ignore them. They don't make any sense anyway.

Answer 10

Marriage is nothing but a legal institution.
People need to grow up and live and let live.
