Gay Marriage – What’s the big deal?
I’ve been thinking about marriage a lot lately. I’ve been married twice – once for 5 ½ years and this time for almost 30 years. Don’t get me wrong. I love my husband and love being married. But, what’s the big deal about marriage?
Those who say marriage should be between a man and a woman are barking up the wrong tree. Have they looked at the divorce statistics lately? Seems to me that we heterosexuals haven’t done such a great job at it!
- 45-50% of first marriages end in divorce
- 60-67% of second marriages end in divorce
- 70-73% of third marriages end in divorce
Come to think of it, has the LGBT community checked this out? Maybe they want to rethink this whole marriage thing! (Just kidding)
I think we ought to give the LGBT community a crack at marriage and see if they can do a better job at it. Maybe they can teach us a thing or two about staying married for the long haul. We won’t know if their statistics will be better than ours until we give them equal rights. I say give them the right to marry and the right to divorce and let’s see who is better at it!
