We all need to read this WaPo piece about atypical marriages

Eww! These relationships shouldn’t be called marriages. They need to come up with another word.

You people can’t be satisfied. Don’t come up with new pronouns! That’s too hard for me! Don’t use “marriage!” Make a new word!

If my kid came to me and said they were doing this, I think I would likely discourage. But I don’t really care what other people do so long as no one is getting hurt. It’s much better than marrying someone without being honest about your sexuality!

Except it doesn’t work. Someone is not getting what they want and just pretending.

But, I think the "who cares" still stands. Their marriage (sham or not) not yours.

But they are getting what they wanted.

Did you not read that one partner is gay?

Yes, so. It's a Lavendar marriage.

So, one isn’t getting what they want. Actually, neither are.

And, still, does it impact anybody but the two of them if they aren't having sex with the person of their choice?

Why shouldn't they be called marriages? Many marriages are already sexless, I don't see why a lavender marriage should get called out as different. They were adults going in. I went into my marriage knowing ... exactly nothing about how the future would roll out. Let's let everybody else make their own decisions and leave them alone.

Then why are they married? If it has no impact, they wouldn’t marry each other.

Because marriage is already defined, as created by God, as a union between one man and one woman.

Actually they both are. You do not get the dynamics. But please continue to argue things you have no clue about.

Neither are getting what they want but please continue to argue to make yourself feel better.

So you, some internet rando, know what two strangers want better than the two strangers, both adults, who got married because they wanted to?

The arrogance is only matched by the ignorance.

FIFY, and don't let Jesus catch you judging!

The need to control others is anti-Christian AF.

What shall we call marriages between people who have gone through conversion therapy? Or Republicans who don’t believe in being gay, so they marry someone of the opposite sex.?

Isn’t a gay man and a straight woman still a man and a woman?

Besides, God never said that, but that’s another story

It doesn't impact others.
