I’m
reading in a lot of places that same-sex marriage in the U. S. is not a matter
of if, but when. Time will tell; in the meantime, I have found it interesting to
observe how the same-sex marriage movement has been able to pull this off.
Let
me offer a reason that I have not seen discussed much: people in Western
culture instinctively yearn to see marriage succeed. People intuitively
understand that the preservation of marriage offers society stability and hope.
Unfortunately, the unofficial consensus is heterosexual marriage has failed and
will never succeed; therefore, gay marriage should be given its chance.
I
am not saying I agree with same-sex marriage. I do not. And, obviously, my assessment in this post is
an opinion. Having said that, the best way to persuade our culture concerning
the value of heterosexual marriage is to offer it many examples of strong
heterosexual marriages.
