"Dearly beloved, we
are gathered here
today in the
presence of God and
these witnesses..."
These were the words
my father spoke at
every wedding I
attended during his
ministry. In 2005
according to the
CDC's National Vital
Statistics Report,
2,279,000 people or
7.5 per 1000 were so
joined between the
ages of 15-44.
Unfortunately during
this same period 3.6
per 1000 in this age
group who were
married were
divorced.
The rights of gay
people should not be
a defining issue for
the Marriage
Amendment. On this
issue of marriage,
we should be as
concerned about
polygamy (more than
one wife that some
renegade branches of
Mormons practice),
sects and cults
whose bonding
relationships are
questioned, bigamist
who have serial
unions at the same
time, "common law
marriages" and for
some polyandry where
one woman may have
more than one
husband. A Marriage
Amendment makes it
clear that all of
these as well as
other non-
traditional cultural
patterns which may
be furthered by
immigration patterns
are not acceptable
in this democratic
society and will not
have legal
protections.
The Marriage
Amendment, if put in
the framework of one
man and one woman at
one time, will do
much to protect the
rights of parties so
involved, provide
legal shelter for
children born within
such a union and
necessitate reform
of state laws to
look over antiquated
statues on marriage.
When government
officials don't
support basic
traditional
institutions which
have helped define
us as a people,
something is wrong
in our logic and
thinking.
