I voted. I’ve done my part. I can’t wait for this amendment to (hopefully) fail and our state government can move on to decisions that governments should actually be involved in.
No. I don’t think the government should determine which marriages count and which don’t. So who’s in charge of this, anyway?
Honestly, I’m a follower of Christ and I believe that (at least when I get married) it will be a holy covenant between me, my husband, and God. Then again, there are a lot of things that I am preserving for the holy covenant (catching my drift?) There won’t be any confusion on tax forms, either.
I do completely respect marriage in this specific spiritual way, but I recognize that not everyone does. Others do a lot of things I don’t do. I get it, and it’s fine. It’s what makes this country great! If I thought EVERYONE felt the same way about marriage that I did, atheist’s marriages wouldn’t be legal, either. And, according to our current state laws regarding marriage (and common sense), that’s just silly.
Spiritual marriage is a covenant, a lifestyle, and state of mind, not a mandated government anything. Marriage as we as a society know is similar, albeit secular (if you wanna), and helpful with the ‘marital status’ box on paperwork.
Non-Christian marriage can be spiritual in it’s own way, and I believe that two souls can come together to take care of one another forever. What is better in this crazy world than knowing that you have at least one other person who will love and take care of you forever?
Forever and ever amen. Sounds good to me.
