Marriage is a sacrament.

Dear Andrew Leigh,

Have you taken your marriage to your wife for granted? When you kissed your wife this morning, you probably didn't think about the legal and political connotations of the marriage you two have.

Marriage is a sacrament. It's about two separate individuals, from different families and backgrounds, coming together to become one indivisible entity. It's in the Gospel of Matthew. It's even in "2 Become 1" by Spice Girls, if you will. This coming together may be religious, social, political and legal in nature. In essence, however, marriage is a profoundly personal and spiritual institution. You have yours - now please let others have theirs too.
