Christianity Offially on the UP in England and Wales

So, primarily for these reasons, I am against homosexuals having the same rights to "marry" as heterosexuals, I am not against their right to enter into a legal Civil Partnership so that both members of the couple have full rights under Civil Law.

That is mainly hair-splitting, if a church allows homosexuals to 'marry' then they shouldn't be stopped because your church says no. Civil Partnership is identical to Marriage in every respect, only difference is that it is not before a 'god', when then, in the first case, if a church marries them, then it would technically be a 'marriage' anyway and in lay-language Civil-Partnership = Marriage.

I wouldn't argue divorce wasn't necessary, I would argue it is currently too easy. There should be a long cooling off period, of years, before a divorce can be granted. If you stand up and say "till death do us part" then you should have to wait an extended period before disolving the contract.

There is also "in sickness and in health, richer or poorer" and not to cheat on your wife. It is better to be realistic than outright ban something because you have a different opinion which there are no ethical objections.
