relationships gives insight to how relationships are formed and joined. Although marriage is just a civil union in the eyes of the government, it is so much more to the people involved. I feel that there is a rite of passage when forming a marriage. It is not just to form a union so that the government can give you benefits.

and decisions. I will be using this concept and applying it to a situation that I went through almost twelve years ago, when I married my husband just two weeks after I graduated high school.

When two people are married, they are taking a vow in front of witnesses, claiming that they will be with each other for the rest of their lives. They state publicly and express their love openly as a sign of commitment to each other. Marriage is a very symbolic gesture, and to take that privilege away from two people who are in love is a serious problem. We love who we want. You can’t change who you fall in love with. Opponents argue that is against their religion—marriage should be between

The issue of marriage and divorce has become a very serious in America today, which is not exclusive to unbelievers. The percentage of Christian divorces is almost as high as those that are not believers.

Especially in the area of our personal relationships, with the primary being marital relations. We missed the glory that God wanted

me personally is the issue that would allow gay couples to be married. I have some very close friends who are gay and have been together for 4-5 years. I think they should not be denied the same rights as heterosexual couples who choose to be married. Some states have already put into law that homosexual couples may be married. Ohio is not one of those states. These couples should be allowed the same benefits as heterosexual married couples. Health insurance is currently denied these couples
