What is the meaning of marriage?
A legalization of your love?
A validation of the extend of your commitment?
A promise to love and hold each other till the end?

Or could it be a reason to have children in socially acceptable circumstances?
Or Is it the only way to start a family because a couple who have kids are not family without a legalized form that took place?

To me marriage is for love. To continue the love you have by promising each other you will love and be true till the end of your lives. The decision to have children is just like the decision of other things in your shared life. Which is why I do not understand some people's rejection of same sex marriage. Why can't two people in love love each other the same way a man can love a woman? Isn't love without prejudice and purely feelings and a step of faith? Yes, the idea of marriage is sacred but so is love. Love is the magic on the lips of lovers, love is the warmth you feel in your coldest spot in your heart, love is the reason why you give, forgive, compromise and accept.

Love, is absolutely nothing if you don't want it. But when you have it, it's like the most important word you'd utter if you were to breathe your last, the reason why you start believing in miracles and the day you would give everything you have to save the person you love.

Maybe I'm too idealistic and I have yet to consider the social consequences but in the words of Shakespeare, "I love you with so much of my heart that none is left to protest."
Love is everyone's and when it strikes, who are we to forbid it?
