Quote:So many difficult things happen to people as a result of having sex outside of marriage... pregnancy, fatherless children, STD's, being taken advantage of, etc. I think it's best to wait, regardless.-and those things -don't happen to people inside of a marriage?
You know who's the most likely person to give you an std? A one night stand, maybe? Some crackhead who raped you? Nope and nope. It's your spouse. Enjoy that HPV, it's gonna be with you for a long time.
Is your spouse somehow -not- going to impregnate you the way your boyfriend would? Does some switch click into place and the biology of married human beings differs from the biology of unmarried human beings? No.
Don't even get me started on fatherless children, you know divorce is a big factor in "fatherless children"...and the leading cause of divorce...is marriage.
Husbands don't take advantage of their wives, and wives their husbands? Turn on the news...or ask your divorced friends.....
Sure, sure, bad and unfortunate things can happen.....but I'm not sure at what point in time marriage turned into some sort of forcefield against misery....and if it were, then I suppose two guys getting married would benefit from that protection..however it's achieved. So....why prohibit them from something so plainly good, something so protective, something so useful, something that you avail yourself of?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies.

I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
