As a general rule, your marriage will not work out. I know there may be a few exceptions, but for most pf you, no. I don't mean to sound pessimistic or bitchy, but when so something so drastically life-altering at such a Young age, it's not gonna work. I can't completely blame you, though; our generation grew up idolizing girls like Ariel, who gave up everything for a man, and married him at sixteen, cuz she thought they were in love after she saw him ONCE and they NEVER talked. He thought he was in love because he found a girl who didn't say anything (dream on boys).
I've gone slightly off finger. My point is, we've grown up on movies of fast and young marriages, so subconsciously, that's what we think is right. And because these children are HETEROSEXUAL, they can marry whoever and whenever and for however long they want.
Now, what about those couples who have been together for YEARS but can't exercise the same right, simply because they have matching genitalia?
Recently, I heard of a gay couple who, after SIXTY FIVE YEARS together, were finally able to marry. Sixty-five years. Wow. And now, I see straight couples who have been together for so much fewer years (like, a year, sometimes less).
It just really frustrates and angers me that so many people are against gay marriage because 'it ruins the sanctity of marriage'. Well, first of all; religion is not supposed to have any impact on the law. I'm not naive, I know that America was founded on Christianity, and that there will always be found some degree of religion effecting law. I understand that, I just mean that there is SUPPOSED to be separation of church and state.
Moving on.
Second of all, if those two gay men I mentioned earlier are ruining the sanctity of marriage after having already shown that they can stay in a committed relationship for a billion years, then what is to be said about a straight couple my age, divorcing after just a few months?
It really is the biggest injustice in my opinion.
