'Til death do us part

A great post over on Evangelical outpost regarding the Terri Schiavo case.

the evangelical outpost: No-Fault Death:
Terri Schiavo and the Absurdity of Marriage Laws

Florida is also a "no fault" divorce state, which means that a history of infidelity is of no concern to the courts. While adulterous conduct might be used in determining the "moral fitness" of a parent seeking custody, it apparently can't be used as evidence of lack of 'moral fitness' to be a husband. Even though he has committed adultery, sired illegitimate children, and openly shares Terri's marriage bed with another woman, he is still considered fit to undertake his role as a ''husband." By giving Michael Schiavo guardianship over his 'wife', the Florida courts have exposed the absurdity of marriage laws.

I think Terri should have the right to make her own decision on weather she choose to keep fighting or not. If she made that decision, she did not write it down. Now we are forced to take the word of her cheating husband that that is what she wanted. Those who believe that marriage vows mean something see this as a travesty. Those who don't believe "until death do us part" means what it says, don't understand what the rest of us are so upset about.

The biggest threat to traditional marriage is not gay marriage, it is divorce. In today's world unconditional love is a foreign concept. the culture considers you to be crazy if you love some people. Unconditional love needs to be unconditional love, otherwise it is just a selfish marriage of convenience.
