What is marriage? I think most people would agree that marriage is an institution. It is a publicly sworn commitment between two people. What marriage does is it subtracts. It takes two individuals and turns them into one. Marriage is a compromise, a give and take that should make both individuals happy. Marriage should make both parties involved better than they were when they were alone. Most importantly in marriage both individuals should be willing share everything, including themselves, with one another.

Same sex marriage is something that should be legalized and I believe that it is just a matter of time before it happens. In many cases two individuals, who if not married, would be busy keeping up houses or apartments themselves as well as providing financial support for their lifestyles can, when married, share these responsibilities. Marriages can help order in our society. So why shouldn’t same sex marriages be allowed in our country? It is my belief that same sex marriages should be allowed in this country and eventually will be legalized. In most cases marriages make people better and better people make a better society. It is a form of discrimination.

Marriage is a sacred institution that involves love between two individuals. By sharing the responsibilities it makes it easier for both people to be better members of society and contribute more for the good of the whole. Marriage is also very important when thinking of the next generation. We must procreate for our species to survive, and while marriage is not necessary for that, it certainly helps with keeping our species alive and well. If someone is a homosexual why should they be denied the same rights as others? Marriage is based on love and a desire to share one’s life with another individual, gender should have nothing to do with it. Other advantages include a feeling a fulfillment and fullness as a person.
