REGARDING:
“Commitment, respect, honor and growing to love…makes and keeps the bond between a man and woman!”

True.
People lie and break promises.
People also keep promises.

Legal commitment alone is not enough.
Legal non-commitment tells the world commitment, respect, honor and love are limited between the two.

As has been proven so many times, a marriage license and wedding vows do not a marriage make. If in doubt, check the Clerk of the Courts website.

Commitment, respect, honor and growing to love…makes and keeps the bond between a man and woman!

Marriage is a legal commitment.
Non-marriage is a legal non-commitment.

This law has not been enforced if so it would have created many jobs and no one would be unemployed. It makes it legal so the man and woman can live together with their 1-6 children while she collects food card, housing, medicaid and whatever else is free! These people got a lot of time on their hands to find stuff to get into. Do you know what stuff I’m talking about? I’m not saying all are like this but I think 85% are.
All on Public Assistance should and would be glad to be drug tested if they are in dire need of help outside of their family.

I fully agree that COUPLES that live together, especially with children should be married, but when is enough really enough with the government controlling peoples lives? What about those situations when it makes “financial sense” to have a room mate? Seniors, college students, and young working people all can benefit from having a roomie, I know that I have! There are many situations when being married does NOT make sense!

Did Adam and Eve have a marriage license? I think not. In the eyes of The Great Spirit, a piece of paper instituted by mankind is not the binding force.

Why must we assume that a couple that lives together sleeps together. I lived with my best friend for 29 years til he passed a year ago. We were never lonely and always there for each other in sickness and in health until the very end. We each had our own bedroom and were very happy. More so than most married folks. No one knows what goes on behind closed doors except my maker and he will be th one to judge me.

Yes, we’re all for limited government…unless we can enforce a little morality.

Everything eventually becomes “the norm”, that is until a stronger force declares it abnormal.

Wow Mike Hill, I commend you for taking that stance. You are absolutely correct. However, would you have made the same vote not knowing the bill would overwhelmingly pass ?
