I never really thought about my view on marriage until gay marriage was allowed. Honestly I don't get what the purpose of marriage is in the first place.
If marriage isn't about love, what is it about? Why do people do it? Then there's, well it's to be fruitful and multiply. But what of those who decide not to have children or can't have children for one reason or another? Then what can be said of the purpose of marriage? Then there's the answer, because God didn't want man to be alone. What of Paul and Jeremiah? Paul in fact encouraged singleness. I know the bible is clear on homosexuality being wrong, but the bible doesn't seem to be clear to me on why marriage is needed, especially today with such a large population. If marriage has no value or purpose, what makes immortal marriages so different? I'm really confused on the whole thing.
How do we as Christian really define Marriage?
