"Nobody is asking you to embrace their expression of love, but don't you as human beings have to embrace that love? The world is barren enough - it is stacked AGAINST love, and against hope, and against those very few and precious emotions that enable us, ALL of us to go forward.
Your marriage only stands a fifty-fifty chance of lasting, no matter how much you feel, and how hard you work. And here are people overjoyed at the prospect of just THAT chance, and that work just for the hope of having that feeling. With so much hate in the world, with so much meaningless division ... this is what your religion tells you to do? With your experience of life and this world and all its sadnesses, this is what your conscience tells you to do?...
You want to sanctify marriage? You want to honor your God and the universal love you believe he represents? Then spread happiness... share it with all those who seek it."
