Maybe I have been old fashioned in my thinking. The times are changing and people just don't do things the way that they used to any more. So, I suppose that I just need to accept things the way they are. You know, men marrying men and women marrying women. What do they call it? Same sex marriage? Well, maybe... just maybe I ought to give that lifestyle a try. Well, after all, I think I have found someone that I really, really like. It could be love!
Yep, I think I want to marry him. He's not a bad looking man, if you ask me. He's charming and smart and he can be kinda funny at times. He's even quite passionate. Oh, believe me, I know because I've known him pert near my whole dag nab life. Yep, this could be love!
Well, I don't know what my wife and kids might think, or my neighbors, or the people at church. But, I suppose they'll just have to get used to the fact that even though I'm a man, I have needs too, and I have found another man, and I think I love him. I think I ought to tie the knot with him.
Now, I would imagine that some people who hear this might think it is a little odd, but I want to marry me. Sure! Why not? I mean I'm totally compatible with me. I have a lot of interests that I enjoy. My energy levels and sleep patterns are always in sync with me. Yep, as a matter of fact, I think I can even entertain myself quite well. And when it comes to making love... well, shucks, nobody does me better. I know all of my needs, wants and desires as well as each and every one of my erogenous zones.
Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't want you to think that I want to marry me for purely selfish reasons. But, I'm thinking that if I'm married to myself I might even be able to find a few extra tax credits for me, myself and I.
I'm a consenting adult. I should be able to marry me. Who has the right to stop me from marrying the person I love? I know it would be a same sex marriage, but it would be nobody else's business but my own.
Oh... wait a minute. I almost forgot. Maybe, just maybe, God might have a thought or two upon this matter. Yep, it seems to me that He had something to say about marriage. Now what was that? Oh, yeah, "Therefore a man shall leave his mother and father and cleave unto his wife." And, "A man shall not lay with a man as a man lays with a woman." Well, golly, I guess that leaves me out.
Actually, I'm kinda relieved. I sure am glad that God knows better than I do when it comes to what is best for me. Yep, I really think I could be happier staying married to my wife and showing our children what a healthy marriage is all about. A godly marriage. A man and a woman.
Now, I heard there was a woman down the road that wanted to marry her horse....
