I agree that people don’t take marriage as seriously as they should… but if you genuinely value some nebulous term like ‘sanctity of marriage’ more than protecting women from abusive partners, you need to give your head a wobble.
It always used to make me laugh that the horrid county clerk who refused to sign gay marriage certificates, claiming she was trying to respect the sanctity of marriage, respected that sanctity so much that she’d married 5 times.
I think it’s even dumber than that. If you really value something as a holy divine relationship that serves as the foundation of a loving family home, why would you force people into it who aren’t happy in it.
As society quickly fills with these unhappy households, all of their children learn that for all its divine protection, marriage is a terrible arrangement. That completely undermines the sanctity of marriage. That or it tells everyone that marriage, and God by extension, is a cruel arrangement meant to cause as much suffering as possible.
These people don’t actually believe in what they say. This isn’t news if you see how they treat the poor.

Agreed. They just want to hurt people who are different because they’re not emotionally intelligent enough to understand their own feelings.
