Homosexual Marriages

Homosexual marriage is a very hot topic today. Homosexuals are fighting for the right to marry while others feel homosexual marriage threatens the concept of marriage being between a man and a woman.

The focus at SaveMarriages.com is not related to the controversy over whether homosexual marriages are desirable or not. I am well aware that many who oppose homosexual marriage consider their opposition as saving the holy institution of marriage, and personally, as a Christian, I have some strong concerns about homosexual marriage.

One of my concerns is for the homosexual himself or herself. Since I believe homosexuality is a chosen lifestyle and a chosen behavior that runs counter to the religious and moral beliefs of many people, one concern I have is that a homosexual couple may marry, and should their religious or moral beliefs change later, they may suffer loss should they break up for moral reasons. I also do not believe it is possible for a homosexual couple to bind themselves so that they are morally obligated to stay together since I believe as many do that the homosexual union itself is one birthed in lust, selfishness, and sin.

In saying that, it is not my desire to belittle or hurt the homosexual person or disrespect him or her in any way. I am just concerned that for marriage to be beneficial to society and to protect children and to provide a backbone for our nation and society, it has to be more binding than the cowardice and insincerity of our people have allowed it to be. We're not first century Americans. This is not a society where liars are few and far between. The looseness of our divorce laws and the way we have beat up and robbed the faithful and have pandered and pimped for those who have played the whore on their marriages, we have basically fought hard to turn this nation into a colossal whorehouse of infidelity.

The only benefit I see from adding homosexual marriage to the mix is that the lawyers involved would experience a huge increase in demand and income from homosexual divorces, and those who come under conviction and feel compelled to give up the homosexual lifestyle will be hurt.

Another problem I see with homosexual marriage is the children. I believe children need one parent of each gender so they can learn what it is to be a woman or a man and form their gender identity. They need two parents working together in love, supporting one another, being the gender they were made to be.

And, most of all, in the Bible, I see warnings that homosexuality can be a symptom of an infinitely greater problem, and that is sin, lust, selfishness, where God gives a person over to the lusts of his or her flesh. And, being as unsatisfying and demanding as sin, the person seems to become enslaved into increasing the lust for more sinful stimulation.

Yet to be fair, it is no different for the heterosexual sinner who caves into the lust of the opposite sex.

The important thing is what good can be done for the most people. And, right now, I think my time is better spent saving marriages than opposing homosexual marriages.
