What about those of us who realize that being a father and husband is not an artificial creation of a state and its legal rules but an essential part of who God made us to be?
What about those of us who have found a virtuous and beautiful woman, on the inside and out? What about those of us who have a chance to spend the rest of our life and our live with a woman who loves us deeply and absolutely, and shares our view of life and our religious beliefs? Who has an equal and strong commitment to and ability for building a God-pleasing family? Who we know we can trust and want to be with for the rest of our life together?
I am one of these men and I have a such a woman who I am seriously considering proposing to in the near future. Are you really going to tell me I shouldn't marry her? Even if I know I can trust her with everything forever, just as my parents and both sets of my grandparents have trusted each other, for 40, 50, and 60 years together for their entire lives together?
Think carefully about your advice, it says more about yourself than the unfair laws you are criticizing.
No it doesnt.
I didnt mention my values at all. It says something about those who feel they have the right to determine the values of others.
Those of you who feel different, should act differerent. Isnt that simple? Those of you who feel that my advice is somehow attacking your values, should just ignore it, as it isnt for you anyway.
My advice is for those who wish to avoid the consequences of potential fraud perpetuated against them. I have no problem with those of you who wish to roll the dice. I'm not attacking differing opinions, so I see no need for some to attack mine either.
Some of us are able to see differing opinions without feeling threatened. Feeling insecure about others differing from you, says more about YOU than about me.

What an excellent post! Unfortunately, there are far too few like yours on this forum.
