What the old mother-father marriages are now competing against is these newfangled pasted-together me-too “families.”
With society as badly fractured as it is, maybe it follows reality more closely for secular government to recognize households rather than marriages. Maybe marriages should be kept within the auspices of houses of religious worship. Maybe. One virtue of that is that churches, rather than governments, would be charged with such questions as what is “cheating too bad” to be married.
God’s design for marriage cannot be changed nor altered in opposite manner nor can the perversion of that design be claimed as a basic human right. Its a human wrong both morally and biologically for same gender seeking so-called marriage rights and benefits.
No way should the church sanction it since scripture is clearly in opposition to it.

“Now, since the family and human society at large spring from marriage, these men will on no account allow matrimony to be the subject of the jurisdiction of the Church. Nay, they endeavor to deprive it of all holiness, and so bring it within the contracted sphere of those rights which, having been instituted by man, are ruled and administered by the civil jurisprudence of the community. Wherefore it necessarily follows that they attribute all power over marriage to civil rulers, and allow none whatever to the Church; and, when the Church exercises any such power, they think that she acts either by favor of the civil authority or to its injury. Now is the time, they say, for the heads of the State to vindicate their rights unflinchingly, and to do their best to settle all that relates to marriage according as to them seems good.”
Pope Leo XIII, 1880
People accepting ‘gay marriage’ is a result of them being conditioned to think the state defines marriage, that if the state accepts such a thing, no matter how impossible, then of course it must be able to exist. It’s to the point that although a religious group might actually believe that ‘gay marriage’ is somehow theologically possible, they won’t perform ceremonies for their gay members unless the state they are in accepts it first.
