Yes, instant gratification and selfish needs. Marriage is about loving, NOT about being loved. If more people realized that, they might be more inclined not to pursue selfish actions.
Family is the foundation for society. Crack it, or break it down, society crumbles. Marriage is about loving, all members of your family. Putting the love of them and their needs, above your own. If all members of the family do just that, nothing can come between them.
Excellent comments, all around. Agree about the "spousal unit" - I don't know what got into me!
Marriage is about responsibility, loyalty, unconditional love, BEING the right person. Qualities like fidelity, strength, conviction, honesty, loyalty - and putting others first - are absolutely essential not only for marriage and family, but for human society to be human.
The "gay" agenda is part of the whole destructive philosophy of "me-ism". Whatever *I* want is important, whatever makes *ME* feel good is more important than anything else, everyone else comes second or third - this is the foundation of destruction. It's animal life.
When moral absolutes are destroyed, not only will homosexuality be promoted, but even worse behaviors. Now killing the disabled as well. If it doesn't turn around, we have a very, very rocky round ahead of us.
