Same Sex Marriage - I Want To Marry Me

Maybe I have been old fashioned in my thinking. The times are changing and people just don't do things the way that they used to any more. So, I suppose that I just need to accept things the way they are. You know, men marrying men and women marrying women. What do they call it? Same sex marriage? Well, maybe... just maybe I ought to give that lifestyle a try. Well, after all, I think I have found someone that I really, really like. It could be love!
Well, I don't know what my wife and kids might think, or my neighbors, or the people at church. But, I suppose they'll just have to get used to the fact that even though I'm a man, I have needs too, and I have found another man, and I think I love him. I think I ought to tie the knot with him.
Now, I would imagine that some people who hear this might think it is a little odd, but I want to marry me. Sure! Why not? I mean I'm totally compatible with me. I have a lot of interests that I enjoy. My energy levels and sleep patterns are always in sync with me. Yep, as a matter of fact, I think I can even entertain myself quite well. And when it comes to making love... well, shucks, nobody does me better. I know all of my needs, wants and desires as well as each and every one of my erogenous zones.
Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't want you to think that I want to marry me for purely selfish reasons. But, I'm thinking that if I'm married to myself I might even be able to find a few extra tax credits for me, myself and I.
I'm a consenting adult. I should be able to marry me. Who has the right to stop me from marrying the person I love? I know it would be a same sex marriage, but it would be nobody else's business but my own.
Oh... wait a minute. I almost forgot. Maybe, just maybe, God might have a thought or two upon this matter. Yep, it seems to me that He had something to say about marriage. Now what was that? Oh, yeah, "Therefore a man shall leave his mother and father and cleave unto his wife." And, "A man shall not lay with a man as a man lays with a woman." Well, golly, I guess that leaves me out.
Actually, I'm kinda relieved. I sure am glad that God knows better than I do when it comes to what is best for me. Yep, I really think I could be happier staying married to my wife and showing our children what a healthy marriage is all about. A godly marriage. A man and a woman.
Now, I heard there was a woman down the road that wanted to marry her horse....

Do not remember the country, but I believe it is Norway where at least 2 people have "married" themselves for the reasons that you listed above. I do have a prediction for you, and that is that if you ever get around to marrying yourself, it is going to end in divorce.Hey, thanks friend from planet earth. You are probably right. But, you know, I could end up writing an article called, "I Want To Divorce Me." So, perhaps there is a bright side to it. Maybe I should talk to my sponsor about that.
