There is something wrong with our culture when the view that marriage is between one man and one woman a view shared by half the nation is portrayed as evidence of hatred.
Marriage is something that needs to be worked on every day. I don't know if I'm the one to give marital advice since I've only been married for a little over a year but marriage is certainly easier if you are open trusting and loving.
My kids have moved more in their twenties you know than my parents have moved in nearly 40-something years of marriage before they died. So there's a part of me that laments what we have lost and that is a sense of community.
For me working on the marriage and not making the easy choice of cheating was something that I could not do.
I didn't think marriage worked. I thought everybody who was married was secretly miserable - that it was something they just put up with for their children.
I don't have any romantic ideas about marriage. Trust me. A white dress... ? No. It's not something for me.
After a while in marriage it doesn't work anymore. There is something missing there is something wrong. There are few marriages that stay alive forever. We like something and after a while we hate what we used to love.
I'm 0 for 3 with marriage - the scoreboard doesn't lie never has. So what we all have is a marriage of the heart. To sully or contaminate or radically disrespect this union with a shameful contract is something that I will leave to the amateurs and the Bible grippers.
I think it's something that needs to be said - that there are interracial marriages out there and the couples live happy lives and there's nothing wrong with it.
If you love something let it go free. If it doesn't come back you never had it. If it comes back love it forever.
