Quote:I believe that the sanctity of marriage should be protected from straight couples as well. To many things happen now to cheapen the whole experience. And it makes me angry.
When was there any "sancity of marriage"? For thousands of years people married of two reasons: Money and Politics. Most of the time they couldn't even choose for themselves whom to marry. Only in the last hundred of years this changed in our Western world. For most of the world it hasn't. If there is love developing in a marriage it was a added benefit for the couple, but it was/is the last reason on the list.
