Marriage is a legal ceremony proclaiming one’s devotion to one person for the rest of his or her life. From the very beginning, in Genesis chapter two, starting with Adam and Eve, marriage has been defined as a union of one man and one woman (Bible). Throughout the years many have come forward in their sexual preferences of having a same-sex partner, thus trying to redefine what has been customarily known as a traditional relationship.
