what good is same sex marriage.?

Logan Bero: It makes to people who love each other very happy that is all that matters

Rhett Kaines: Talk to your husband about it. ??????Yeah, your husband will love you so much for being that open and up front it will take your marriage to an higher level of trust!If my wife told me something like that, I can understand it. There are a lot of good looking people out there. I know my wife looks, I look too, it's natural. Up front and open is the best way to go, then you really know if you have jealousy and inferior complex to deal with in your spouse.

Ollie Desalvo: Marriage is for two persons who want to be recognized as a legal couple, some have children and some do not. The good is about the two persons wanting to be together because they like each other. That is an individual right. Anyone against this is a moron and not honest.

Armando Somes: Married couples enjoy a number of legal and financial benefits. For example, a same sex spouse can! now be a beneficiary/dependent on an employer-sponsored health care plan. Same sex marriage partners can make out better on annual income taxes by filing jointly as a married couple. There's a long list of legal and financial benefits to marriage.

Lester Haschke: it is a design to pervert the purpose of marriage, just like all sin is designed to do...to pervert the purposes of God.

Sharron Salin: So what about straight couples who marry but have no children, is that a marriage or not? And gay couples, through surrogates can have children if they wish.

Codi Manchel: I think what you're feeling is perfectly normal. I've been married for 11 years and I love my husband more than anything and I would never cheat, but there is nothing wrong with finding another person attractive. You don't sound like you're going to act on it....if you had any real desire to act on it, you wouldnt be here looking for advice. You're getting attention from a younger, handsom! e man and that is exciting. The new and unexplored is often t! empting, but very rarely lives up to our expectations. I think maybe your marriage has become a little too routine(kids, bills, etc....i can totally relate). Take this as a sign that you need more, but you need it from your husband. Let your husband know how you're feeling, try spicing things up and reconnecting with your husband. He's the one you love and the one who loves you...this younger guy is just attracted to you. I personally would take real love over a fleeting attraction anyday...Good luck and God bless! I think you're a good person and you'll do the right thing :)

Joeann Hoyt: Tell the guy to back off. Just from what you've said it's sounds like you are tempted to do the very thing that you are saying you won't do.The more you say you won't cheat on your husband it sounds like you are trying to talk yourself out of it. Mrs. you are treading on thin ice. Everytime you see this guy it gets thinner. So you have two options, either you give in to tempt! ation or you don't. We can't tell you what to do.Beware of wolves in sheeps clothing. Just because he's goodlooking doesn't mean anything. The guy could have recently found out that he's contracted AIDS/HIV and he's angry and looking to share it with an unsuspecting victim like you.And yes, sometimes that is how affairs begin. So you should squash that ASAP!Good luck to you.

Toby Women: for me marriage is love

Marcellus Exler: As it is not a personal issue with you, what good is your asking what good it is?

Leann Villalta: What good is opposite-sex marriage?

Nilda Bafia: A bar is out of the question. I quit drinking & smoking roughly 10 years ago and I actually, really am totally over this relationship, physically, emotionally and spiritually. I am now craving alcohol & cigarettes but I am too ashamed to start again.

Jamika Gregorio: 2 people who are in love get to be together forever, that's whats good, I think its wrong to not let 2 people ! who are the same gender get married, like why? what is it doing to anyb! ody around them?? It's there choice nobody elses, let them be happy is my opinion :)

Dick Maisenbacher: I totaly agree that it's not marriage, it's a union

Vida Miss: Out of sight out of mind. If you know he's occupying your thoughts why dont you make an effort to not be around him anymore? Send your husband out to do the grocery shopping or change the time of day you go. Plain and simple.

Damaris Weiler: It natural to be taken by another man, the newness of flirting and stuff like that feels good. Being married for 17 years is great and not worth throwing away for lust. Maybe try to bring the romance and newness to your marriage. But it looks like you still got it girl, so use all that mojo on your hubby!

Bud Espenshade: Your right and this is how you stop it!!TELL THE YOUNG MAN TO STOP IT RIGHT NOW YOUR MARRIED AND LOVE YOUR HUSBAND IN FRONT OF YOUR HUSBAND!YOUR BEING SEXUALLY STALKED AND YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING RIGHT NOW!THE TELL HIM IF HE EVE! R MAKE CONTACT WITH YOU AGAIN YOU GOING TO POLICE AND FILE CHARGES!he should run for hill right away,and if he dosen't then call police and get a restraining order because he's dangerous!Cheating is a choice and once you go there, you'll never be the same again. Tell husband too, and tell him what your feeling, and be honest.Good Luck, your going to need it!

Burt Cheevers: If you are talking about children, (No children coming out of the marriage) would you say the same about a straight couple who can not have children? Or a couple who do not want children at all? There are already too many people on earth and overpopulated orphanages and care homes all around the world that need to be taken care of by loving parents no matter what sex either of them are.

Kiersten Clayburn: nothing.

Myesha Zerbe: When you put out the "free lunch" sign all the roaches come outta the dark corners. Be safe.

Virgilio Echter: I can't s ay because I never knew anyone th! at had one!

Maynard Phoubandith: happiness

Ollie Hamiel: Af! ter 17 years your mind is bound to wander a little bit. As humans we want variety. So just thinking about this guy isn't a big deal. Anything beyond that is going to cause problems. For example flirting back, going out with him, making a point to be around him, etc. Eventually this "flavor of the month" will pass. You'll still be very happy with your husband. Also it wouldn't hurt to see a marriage counsler. Even if everything is fine, just go, think of it as a marriage tune-up. Good Luck.

Kaley Lappas: I don't think so. You are a minor, so you would have to be emancipated first and foremost. Call a lawyer.

Flor Lizardi: Cant seem to say that there is any good that can come from a same sex marriage. Its not a marriage in Gods eye. Its a choice you pick to do. just like murder or if you cheat on your spouse.

Lon Pennington: If you don't want to think about him then don't think about him,as easy as that. If a married woman has a moral even as tiny! as a seed of mustard she will not intertain a flirting man even he will show her that he has a gold and studded diamonds penis. She will not disgrace her husband by lowering her standard as s. l .u .t .

Claude Gloden: None. It's a sin to be gay.

Kip Ockenfels: I have nothing against gay people its better than pedophile, If God looks at gay people wrong because it has to be a man and a woman does that mean pedophile aren't bad? logic...god isn't not real

Joni Ziak: No but depending upon ur local state laws you can get emancipated but you will have to be able to prove to the court that is it whats best for you and that you can care and support yourself. Good Luck!

Hunter Beech: well heres my opinion, homosexuality is pretty normal as you can get; but i can see why people would be mad about tax breaks if the couple isn't raising any children... legalize gay marriage; they deserve to have their love formally recognized, but don't give tax breaks to a ma! rried couple whether gay OR straight unless they are caring for a child! .. that is what the tax breaks are for :T

Augustus Sarria: Marriage is about 2 people loving each other so what does it matter what gender the person you love is? If the person is happy whether they're a male and a female, a male and a male or a female and a female, then surely it doesn't matter, it affects you in no way at all.

Georgina Natal: Many things are, today, losing their meaning as we trend toward a standard-less and value-less society. Gay marriage is intended to normalize and legitimize gay relationships; however, as of yet, no one has done the work of providing REASONS for why this should be desirable. I am an atheist who believes that homosexuality has numerous causes, and most of them are indicative of pathological or incomplete psychological development. In my view, it should not be considered "normal" to be gay. Another reason: if marriage between gay people is legal and acceptable, then there is really no way to argue that they cannot be paren! ts, since the notion of building a family is inherent to the institution of marriage (even if there are couples who do not desire children). I do not believe gay people should be parents because of my understanding of homosexuality as a harmful pathology....Show more

Jeannetta Gaffigan: None

Gaylord Barragan: Animals they have brain. Animals they don't have this kind of relationship. Same sex marriage is evil, sick and SINFUL.

Cyndy Grimes: Exactly! And it's not marriage, it's a union. Marriage is 1 man and 1 woman

Alonso Crehan: Think of it like this....consider your marriage of 17 years like your bank account...your life savings....and some guy comes along and says hey....I can quadriple your money all you have to do is give me your bank account information and I'll do the rest. A total stranger..are you going to trust some guy with your life savings that you just met....Heck no you're not!! So why in the world would you even consider the young hot! guy and throw everything you've worked for away...because of looks..hi! s eyes and a smile no less...C'mon now!! Sounds like to me you're bored in your marriage or are wanting some attention that you may not be getting from your husband. And the first cute guy who comes along and glances your way and now your questioning everything that you know is nonsense. You need to go see a counselor or your pastor if you attend church,because you're not happily married if you're even thinking about this guy one iota! I'm sorry for being harsh but I don't get your reasoning on this nonsense as you put it.

Kizzy Hett: I was adopted when I was born but I HATE my current family, they always yell at me and abuse me and I need to know if theres anyway I can be adopted into another family without going into fostercare or an orphanage?

Ester Bryand: I need a divorce.

Rosella Figliola:

Rana Rudell: Whoa...calm down sweetie....believe it or not, this is pretty normal. Every once in awhile someone catches our eye and we've all done the flir! ting thing from time to time. I, myself, have this thing for our ups man. He's a bit younger than me, but those piercing blue eyes of his and the way he smiles at me, makes me melt. However, much like you, I'm also married. 18 years of married and I deeply love my husband. I know that come hell or high water, I would never cheat. It's not in me. And based on what you say, I don't think it's in you either. Cheaters are of a different breed. Not all encounters lead to an affair. Think about it. Think about all the celebrities you've ever thought about. Maybe a George Clooney, Bratt Pitt, etc. You'll think about them in that way, but you know there is no way you'd act on it. This is just another one of those things...only this guy isn't famous. And if you can't look at it that way, try this....he's temptation and nothing more. Your love for your husband isn't weak, don't let this man's attention tempt you....Show more

Cordia Fivecoat: You might as well as! k what is the point of marriage generally.It used to be for the procrea! tion of children, but we all now know that marriage is not necessary for that. For many people I know, it's about formalising a union, a relationship, which can have children, or not. These relationships tend to be mutually exclusive (no other sexual partners) and very committed. Of course, people in non-married relationships can cheat just as much as people in married relationships, and this can lead to divorce. However, I have to laugh at the hypocrisy of some of those 'god-fearing' people who go on about the 'sanctity' of marriage when they themselves have had several divorces and persist in having sexual relations with partners other than their spouses. Most of the gay couples I know are in committed and closed (i.e. not 'open') relationships with their partners and are NOT nearly as promiscuous as some of those 'sanctity of marriage' merchants. As for the whole procreation of children thing - please. There are now far too many human beings living on the planet for this! to continue sustainably. Sexual relationships that do NOT result in more human beings being born are NOT A BAD THING. And as for the whole argument that 'gay people will rear gay children' - utter nonsense. Who do you think reared most of those gay people when they were children? Most were reared by STRAIGHT PARENTS. The most likely scenario in the event of a gay couple rearing children is that there will be THREE parents (possibly more) as well as the rest of the extended family rearing the children. Those three parents are the biological mother, the biological father and the same-sex partner of the parent in whose house the children tend to reside the most. I live in Ireland, and in a few weeks we will have a referendum on Marriage Equality. I am voting YES, I am voting FOR gay couples to be allowed to marry in the eyes of the law. It's time. Incidentally, I myself am straight. And luckily for me, I have the choice. But I chose NOT to marry until everyone has that choice! ....Show more

Georgianna Zollo: well frankly the question you sho! uld be asking yourself is what bad is same sex marriage

Marti Declue: There is NOTHING good about it. Sodomy is ILLEGAL in ALL 50-states and this is they only way two males have sex..........DISGUSTING. Two females - I have NO idea how they satisfy each other...perhaps by using adildo............why not just have sex with a man....Recently, children (adopted or not) of same-sex marriages have stepped up and stated they DEMAND a mother and a father - NOT a father and a father or a mother and a mother. Therefore, same-sex marriage MUST be BANNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!...Show more

Sol Bayn: I posted the following message earlier and wanted to post it again to get more opinions...."I am happily married to a man that I have been with 17 years. I love him. Period. I have never had an affair on him. He is very good to me and I don't want to do anything to hurt him. But, I have this problem. I have this goodlooking man that shows up alot (We live in a small town and me shows u! p at the grocery, bank and once at my work), and I believe he is making it a point to be around me. I am 36 and he is 30. He is darn goodlooking and he is using his eyes and smile to flirt with me. I can't help but to think about him ....but I don't want to think about him! How do you STOP thinking of someone you don't want to think about but your mind WONT let you!!! I am NOT going to cheat on my husband ....but I'm afriad that this very thing is how affairs start. PLEASE help me. I need someone's help really bad. Tell me how to stop this nonsense!!! "Thanks for additional help.......Show more

Maye Delk: All the advantages opposite sex marrieds have. Survivor benefits, income tax, health insurance, are all advantages all people need to have as a married couple.
