If Gay Marriage is approved fewer people would remain married for a lifetime.
Image via WikipediaLawrence Kurdek, a homosexual psychologist from Ohio’s Wright State University, who has done extensive research on the nature of homosexual relationships, has correctly stated, “Perhaps the most important ‘bottom-line’ question about gay and lesbian couples is whether their relationships last.” After extensive research, he determined that “it is safe to conclude that gay and lesbian couples dissolve their relationships more frequently than heterosexual couples, especially heterosexual couples with children.”
Once again, abundant research has borne out this point. Older studies came to similar conclusions. In one study of 156 male couples, for instance, only seven had been together for longer than five years (and none of those seven had remained sexually faithful to each other).
International findings are similar. The Dutch study mentioned earlier, which highlighted so dramatically the promiscuous nature of male homosexual relationships, also showed their transience. It found that the average male homosexual partnership lasted only 1.5 years. In contrast, more than 50 percent of heterosexual marriages last fifteen years or longer.
Some may argue that granting homosexual relationships legal recognition as “marriages” would make them as stable as heterosexual marriages. However, a study of “married” same-sex couples in Massachusetts found that after only a year or less of “marriage,” more than a third (35%) of the male couples and nearly half (46%) of the female couples had already “seriously discussed” ending their relationship. And a study of same-sex divorce among homosexual couples in “registered partnerships” in Sweden found that “the divorce risk in partnerships of men appears 50 percent higher than the corresponding risk in heterosexual marriages, and that the divorce risk in partnerships of w
How would this affect heterosexual couples? If the unstable nature of homosexual partnerships becomes part of the ideal of marriage that is being held up to society, it will inevitably affect the future behavior of everyone in society—heterosexuals included. Therefore, we can predict the following:
If homosexual “marriage” is legalized, the percentage of homosexual couples that remain together for a lifetime will always be lower than the percentage of heterosexual couples that do so; but the percentage of heterosexual couples demonstrating lifelong commitment will also decline, to the harm of society as a whole.
