In the post modern world marriage has taken a beating. Am I qualified to comment on marriage in America? Well, I have been married for 35 years, many of them happily.
Marriage is a arrangement between a man and a woman in which they pledge and commit to a binding relationship where he cleaves only to her and she cleaves only to him. It is necessary to build a commitment such as marriage so that children can be brought into the mix and have a chance of receiving the care and nurturing needed to sustain the population.
Genetically speaking, a man wants to know the child he is raising came from his genes, and marriage is the process whereby the woman and man commit to only procreate with one another. It is not a perfect world and some studies suggest up to 1 out of 7 children is not the suspected biological father's of record, but hey sometimes girls just gotta have fun, and the genetic diversity of such events are also not all bad.
I myself have 7 children who all favor each other by three wives, and I am wondering who this fellow is who has been following me from wife, to wife, to wife. I am getting a little sick of it, but on to the point.
Marriages were set by the church and are preformed by a priest or a rabbi and is a deal made before God and these are attended by friends and family in a public display so there can be no doubt that the two people, one man and one woman, have committed to the marriage.
With the proponents of a certain segment of our population screaming about the separation of church and state at every opportunity and every public Christmas scene, and each public display of the Ten Commandments, it is strange to have to remind these same loud mouthed complainers the separation of church and state must cut both ways to be effective.
Marriage is a church affair. Hence, the state must be out of it. Just because Barack Obama proclaims his support of gay marriage, which cannot pass the laugh test as we have already shown above, since the only way gays could marry each other would be for a gay man to marry a lesbian woman for the contract to be correct from a societal and historical perspective in spite of Obama's support.
I am not advocating that gays and lesbians try this, but it might be interesting to see if anything happens if these two seemingly divergent groups might form alliances and go out on double dates. Imagine the possibilities if Barack and Rahm, go out with Hillary and Huma, just to pick four common American names, two male and two female, at random to see what might transpire among the four after dinner, perhaps an opera and a few drinks. This might open up an entirely new world to our homosexual community. Of course the bed would necessarily need to be large and strong to hold up under all that writhing and wriggling with the sweating and work that goes into really great homosexual couplings.
Those so inclined should pause here to touch yourselves.
Everybody back with me. No, no I can wait. Ok, I will finish without you few perverts.
OK, now we have our fictional quartet, Barack, Rahm, Hillary, and Huma dating and courting together and say they like the arrangement and want to get married. All they must do is to decide if it will be Barack marrying Huma or Hillary, or Rahm with Hillary or Huma. Then the two married couples can set up house keeping and the family is complete. Society is happy, the church is happy, and the gay and lesbians who are clamoring for marriage are happy.
And should any fluids get mixed up in other body cavities and a child happens to be born of the unions, the child has two daddys and two mommies and that fairy tale taught in our schools can remain.
See how easy that was. And I ain't really all that smart, but I have been married, a lot.
