Well said Phil.<br> <br> I think the government should only offer civil unions, and to any two consenting adults. Churches should decide if it is really a marriage or not. <br> <br> _DJA<br><br><b><i>Phil Nisbet <pcnisbet1@hotmail.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> Joe<br><br>Why do we have civil Marriage in the first place?
