My Thoughts on Marriage

I told myself that I was going to keep basically quiet about the new marriage law that has been talked about every where, and on everything. But then I realized that my feelings are probably very different from most everyone else. And so I wanted to put them out there.

As a Catholic, I feel that I am quite against the thought of same sex marriages of any kind. I believe in my own heart that the right marriage is between a man and a women. That is what God intended when He created male and female. And I believe that the kind of marriage that God intended for us to have is the only one that should be recognized in the eyes of the Church.

I realize that we as Christians are supposed to love everyone, flaws, failures, and choices included. And like Christ, we should accept everyone, no matter how they decide to live their life. Everyone, and I mean everyone needs love. And there are many different kinds of love. People that choose to be gay or lesbian are not wrong in the way that they choose to love. I just don't think that a marriage of that type is right in the eyes of God, because that is not the kind of marriage He intended for us to have.

I know also that in the Bible, God's own word, there are specific spots that say that a marriage should be between one women, and one man. That is also one other reason why I believe what I do. I believe that marriage in the eyes of God should remain as He intended it. God is the one who is in control. He is the one who created this world. And our government should not try to rise above Him, and think they can re-define marriage. At least that is my stand on it. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe others disagree with me. But as a Catholic, I'm not going to change my mind.
