How about a committed slave or a committed abducted child. Shall we honor those relationships for their commitment?

These are two consenting adults who have committed 16 years to each other (and pledged more in light of the baby).

That's quite a relationship and your comparisons are disgusting.

I am trying to establish the boundaries of your criteria. Originally it was merely a “long-term” relationship and I called you on that. Now you are amending your original criteria and adding two new criteria and at this point you have three as follows:

1. Long-term
2. Loving
3. Consenting Adults

Are there any additional qualifications you think should be added before you believe a relationship should be respected ?

But they are both WOMEN! That is just so unatural.
