Marriage Strengthened and Affirmed...

Check out this NPR story about a marriage that occurred today in California.

"I think, today, marriage as an institution has been strengthened," Newman said. "I think, today, marriage has been affirmed." Hallelujah!

Don't have much else to say. I fully agree with the person quoted in this article.. what is happening in California will only strengthen how the world views marriage. My hope is that as my kids grow older their view of marriage is that it is about LOVING somebody. Not about a big fancy ceremony or a church or about right or wrong, but just that marriage is what you do to honor the person that you love. It is your opportunity to stand up in a formal way and tell everyone how much you honor, respect and love the person you are going to spend the rest of your life with.

How proud I am that this marriage happened in the United States. How sad I am to know how long we've waited for it, and the very long road that lies ahead of us in this fight.
