Self Sacrifice is very unpopular these days, and not just among homosexuals.Commitment lasts until someone more interesting steps into view. I often chuckle when someone suggests that a certain concept is new. They must not have read Ecclesiastes.
Ecclesiastes
Chapter 1
- 1
- 1 The words of David's son, Qoheleth, king in Jerusalem:
- 2
- 2 Vanity of vanities, says Qoheleth, vanity of vanities! All things are vanity!
- 3
- 3 What profit has man from all the labor which he toils at under the sun?
- 4
- One generation passes and another comes, but the world forever stays.
- 5
- The sun rises and the sun goes down; then it presses on to the place where it rises.
- 6
- Blowing now toward the south, then toward the north, the wind turns again and again, resuming its rounds.
- 7
- All rivers go to the sea, yet never does the sea become full. To the place where they go, the rivers keep on going.
- 8
- 4 All speech is labored; there is nothing man can say. The eye is not satisfied with seeing nor is the ear filled with hearing.
- 9
- What has been, that will be; what has been done, that will be done. Nothing is new under the sun.
- 10
- Even the thing of which we say, "See, this is new!" has already existed in the ages that preceded us.

Commitment lasts until someone more interesting steps into view. Indeed - Barna has determined that this is even true for Christians. It seems we have forgotten what G-d called us to when He called us to marry.
A marriage license isn't a license to have sex with someone.
Shalom.
