Unfortunately, in the United States, marriage once a holy but now decaying institution with men in women jumping into marriage without the understanding of commitment to God and one another.
However, my marriage is still strong despite a high divorce rate and the introduction of gay marriage into the culture.
If one believes that their marriage is weakened due to gay marriage then there must be other issues within that marriage.
There was another article posted just today, I believe, that took a look at the long-term affects of gay marriage in the most liberal parts of Norway, where gay marriages have taken place for 10-15 years. As it turns out, about 70% of children there are now born to illegitimate parents. The author, who is actually gay himself, points out that gay marriage devalues the institution of marriage and becomes more about coupling than about establishing families. As marriage becomes less and less about commitment and establishing families, fewer and fewer men and women marry. They still continue to have children, but those children rarely know the security of a home with one mom and one dad who are committed to each other. It was a fascinating article. If I find the link, I’ll post it.
