I was against gay marriage until I realized I didn't have to get one.
Civil union is less than marriage. Marriage is a sacred and valued institution and ought to be afforded equal protection.

I'd like to have a successful marriage, not for the sake of labelling or branding, but because I believe in the institution of marriage.
Divorce is probably of nearly the same date as marriage. I believe, however, that marriage is some weeks the more ancient.
I think that gay marriage is something that should be between a man and a woman.
If every marriage is measured by the tongue of a wife, their will be no husband left in every marriage.
To me, everything is wonderful. Life is wonderful.
Wonder, connected with a principle of rational curiosity, is the source of all knowledge and discover, and it is a principle even of piety; but wonder which ends in wonder, and is satisfied with wonder, is the quality of an idiot.

every healthy marriage is composed of walls and windows. The windows are the aspects of your relationship that are open to the world—that is, the necessary gaps through which you interact with family and friends; the walls are the barriers of trust...
Marriage is the sanctuary of the heart. You have been entrusted with the heart of another human being. Whatever else your life's great mission will entail, loving and defending this heart next to you is part of your great quest.
Being "married for a mission" can revitalize a lot of marriages in which the partners think they suffer from a lack of compatibility; my suspicion is that many of these couples actually suffer from a lack of purpose.
