Day 18: My Thoughts on Gay Marriage

Romans 3:23-24

ALL of us struggle against a burden. For some, its gambling, for some its drinking, for others its vanity or pride. Personally, I struggle with laziness, anger, apathy, and gossip.

But for some, their struggle is with matters of sexual desire. Whether its desire towards someone notably older/younger, someone within your own family, or someone within your own gender, they have something to struggle against that I can't even imagine having to deal with. But God didn't come for the perfect people, perfect people don't need saving. God sent His Son for the lost. For the imperfect. For those of us who struggle.

Some of you might be wondering with this has to do with the days topic, but don't you fret, I'm getting to it!  

God established marriage to be a sacred bond between a man and a woman, representing the bond between
God and his church. People that cite divorce rates of straight marriage don't realize that there is something wrong with how we as a nation look at marriage. It's not just something fun or cute, its not easy. Marriage has become less about the joining of two lives and more of an excuse to buy a really REALLY big/expensive dress and be a bridezilla. We need to fix our marriages, we need top prepare those heading towards marriage. Letting gay people marry isn't going to fix the divorce rates, its not going to be a magic fix for broken families, it won't be the magic cure-all that people think it will be.
