Why my marriage is important to me
I have been married now for 10 years. It hasn't been easy. There were times I am sure when both of us wanted to walk away. But we haven't and were not going to. You see - our marriage is more than just a relationship with a piece of paper tying us together. Our marriage is more than just tax and insurance benefits. Our marriage is more than a fad.
Our marriage was the beginning of a family. A family that will not end. A family that will endure time and be a building block for our community and communities to come.
Marriage is the keystone to a family. Families are the building blocks of communities, cities, towns, counties, states, nations, and this world.
There is nothing that can replace the family unit as the world has known it for centuries.
A father and mother to create, love, and raise children. Fathers and mothers are different. Men and women are different and the children learn different things from their parents. This can only happen in a traditional family setting. Of course we know that not all marriages work out and that not all children have both parents in the home. That is why neighbors, aunts, uncles, friends are some important – to fill the role of the absent parent so the parent who is raising the children can focus on what they can do, and not have to worry about what they can’t do. This is more than just life skills, values, and character traits. It’s also about developing character and identity.
I love my marriage because of we have the opportunity to create greatness in our children, in our community. No other organization has this opportunity. The family unit was created by design in the fashion because of the greatness it has embedded in it.
Attempting to create family units built on foundations other than a husband and wife as we have always known it will destroy what families can and should be.
My marriage is also sacred to me
I am also a religious person. I believe that Marriage is ordained of God and that God created marriage between a man and a woman for a reason. For that purpose alone, re-creating, re-defining, re-designing what marriage is, is heresy and defies one of Gods most sacred institutions.
God commanded man and woman to marry and be one flesh. The multiply and replenish the earth. This can only be done between a man and a woman. There is no other way. The powers of procreation are sacred and are only to be done in the bonds of marriage.
Marriage any other way makes a mockery of God and his purposes.
Marriage has been this way for centuries. I want it to remain this way for centuries to come.
Homosexual couples have called their lifestyle and alternative lifestyle. Alternative to what? It is an alternative to marriage.
I am ok with them having an alternative lifestyle. I don’t really care. But lets keep it alternative. Let’s not make it be something it isn’t.
Homosexuality will always be an alternative relationship to mainstream. It will never be a majority lifestyle. That being said – why confuse it with something that is mainstream. Why confuse it with something that has been around since the creation of man.
Let it be what it is. Let Marriage be what it is and has always been. Marriage is a holy and legal relationship between a man and woman.
Vote Yes on 8.

Considering that ProtectMarriage.com has decided NOT to appeal the ballot language, what chance do you really see for Prop 8 to pass? I just don't see a majority of Californians voting YES on a proposition titled ELIMINATES RIGHT OF SAME-SEX COUPLES TO MARRY.
Once the churches realize that Prop 8 is an almost guaranteed loser, are they going to do the right thing and let their members know? If not, what happens after Prop 8 loses by 40-60 (or worse), and then the members find out that the church leadership was privy all along to internal polling that predicted a crushing defeat? Do the members get their money back?
Or do they get stuck paying for ads that were run by a campaign that knew it was going to lose but ran them anyway!
Chino,
The very fact that they are not changing the ballot language is what is going to drive this campaign. In 2000 with prop 22 we were in the same exact polling situation - and had an overwhelming majority vote in favor of defining marriage between a man and a woman.
Marriage is ordained by God to be between a man and a woman. We are all his children and we inherently know that. When the people of California have privacy inside the polling booths they will vote their conscience. We always do. that is what is so great about America. We always do what is right.
As for you - your profile says you are from Taiwan. What do you care? It seems that you are a paid to troll the blogs and create false sense of insecurity for this proposition.
