“I know how to run my life and I can love whomever I want”
Good for you. Don’t expect us to destroy ancient traditions because of it.
Why of course she expects everybody to.
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
“I know how to run my life and I can love whomever I want”
Yep. Dead or alive.
