many individuals, which is why gay and lesbian couples have fought so hard recently to
be able to finally call their relationship a marriage rather than a partnership or a civil
union. Last year the government decided that the right to marriage is an inherent aspect
of individual autonomy, and that each American has the right to intimate association,
rather than just ridding the US of laws that ban homosexuality.
Marriage isnt simply a word that is to be thrown around, which is why everyone
who is in a devoted relationship wants to be able to use that word rather than having to
replace it with a less-scared word. Although it is difficult to define marriage in a
technical way since it can consist of relationships of varying lengths, combinations of
genders, religions, and types of people, marriage can still be defined to an extent.
Marriage is coming home to someone who is prepared to be an intent listener, a stable
shoulder to lean on, and a friend who ultimately knows how to be there. Marriage is
showing appreciation and kindness, even through the tough arguments and strong
differences of opinion.
