Black and White

There are some issues in life that are not so black and white. Sometimes there is a necessity to exercise the spirit of the law. Because if we never recognized a need for spirit of the law sometimes, we would drive those around us crazy. But, at the same time, there are some moral issues that are black and white, to me.

The definition of marriage is one of them.

I love my husband, very much. And I would do anything for him. And now, having the opportunity to be sealed to him for eternity, and having the chance to connect to him on the deepest level the two individuals can connect, I now know just a little bit more about why men were created the way they were and why women were created the way they were. I know that there is a reason why women and men have been connecting together for thousands of years and I know that it is a very sacred connection. ESPECIALLY, and ONLY when it is treated as such. Until now, throughout the history of the world this connection and vow of loyalty between a man and a woman has been defined as marriage. Now, a large portion of society would like to redefine marriage as the connection between any two people, whatever gender they may be. This hurts me. How can they define the connection between two men or two women the same as the connection between a man and a woman? It must be apparent to any thinking mind, that there is a difference between a heterosexual couple and a homosexual couple.

 This is a difference, a BIG difference. And it is not just about gender.

That difference calls for a definition. That definition is marriage. Marriage is a sacred union between a man and a woman. When it is sealed properly at the right time, in the right place and by the right authority, it is recognized by our Heavenly Father and can unite two people together forever, for all time and for all eternity. 

Now do not mistake me. I am not against homosexual people. I believe all people should be treated with love and kindness, no matter what their circumstance. I am only defending the definition of marriage. That is it. That is all that it is about; A simple, yet clear, and consistent definition of marriage.
