Not being a psychologist, social worker, minister or any other thing to give me any expertise, I would still like to share my
opinion on marriage.
Simply stated, marriage is lifetime committment. A lot of people simply aren't ready to make and keep that committment. It's easier to simply walk away.
In terms of same sex marriages, it was not very long ago that inter-racial marriages were highly frowned upon.
I think maybe the government ought to stay out of our bedrooms. Whatever your personal religion or morals, it isn't up to the Federal Government to enforce them.
