Isn't MARRIAGE a sacrement, instituted by the church, between a man and a woman? Starts and ends there. Now a 'civil union' is secular and I would leave that up to the judges to evaluate how that stands with our laws and constitution.

All this 'marriage' stuff is nothing more than trying to 'normalize' that which is not normal. If their lifestyle is so okay, then why are they, as a group, trying so hard to pattern themselves after society's norm? Especially when they go to such great lengths to show how truly faulty it is when examined?

[Theodore R.]

Christ used allegories about the bride and the bridegroom. So marriage is a sacrament, but not all Protestant denominations use the term "sacrament."
