A very precious and significant reality is under siege. A
truly delicate and relevant institution is being subjected not only to question
but also to contradiction. The law of nature itself is undergoing change – if not
downright ridicule – through but the preference of law of man. The truth
nevertheless remains that in all these “modern” desires and designs, the
ultimate losers are always men, women and children specially. Meantime, the
reality remains as such, the institution stays the same, and futile remain any
and all attempts for man to change the postulates of nature that was already
there long before he appeared, and that will remain as such long after he is
long gone.
As of now, both in the first world country and in this third
world Nation, there are individuals and groups thereof who want marriage to
suit their personal preference and consequent option. How? By ardently
inventing such curiosities as the following – all not only undermining but in
effect making a mockery of marriage: Same Sex “Marriage.” Group “Marriage.” Renewable “Marriage.” Such
novelties are both interesting and entertaining – not to mention their
respective futility in attempting to change or deny reality as defined by
natural law.
Same Sex “Marriage” is the attempt to contradict the
fundamental attribution of spousal union – not merely unity – that rightfully
demands a consummate heterosexual partnership. Thus it was that even in the
Good Book, the narration is that Adam came and followed Eve. Hence the pairing
of Adam and Eve – not “Adam and Adam” nor “Eve and Eve” came to fore.
Group “Marriage” is the effort not only to downgrade but
also to tear down the essential element of fidelity in a marital covenant. In
such a group conjugal gathering, the question that usually comes to mind is how
many individuals can/may belong to it. Three, four, five? Then why not six,
seven, eight? Is this not but in accord with the saying, the more the merrier?
Renewable “Marriage” is the option to convert the conjugal
covenant into but a mere contract entered into within a time frame, and
therefore subject to renewal or termination – at the will of one or both
parties therein. Marriage thus enters the sphere of standard agreements open to
disagreement and consequent dissolution. Permanence is alien thereto.
Time and again – and man never learns – the objective truth
and eventuality remain that when he goes against the law of nature, he is but
victimizing himself. Innumerable are broken lives on account of broken
marriages. Marriage is between one man and one woman bound to observe fidelity
for as long as both shall live, and are committed to care for – love, support,
educate – every child they bring forth to the world. This is marriage
notwithstanding what Kings, Tyrants and Presidents of any color and creed would
otherwise want it to be. These personalities come and go – but marriage
ultimately remains as established by nature, affirmed by ethics and confirmed
by morals.
