Marriage Colors

If you say 'BLUE'... that is a color that everyone knows. But if you say blue doesn't always have to mean that particular color, that 'BLUE' could also mean orange... what you have done is removed the meaning from the word.

Now blue can mean anything because if you can change it, why can't I? Why can't someone else? Why can't everyone? Well I want 'BLUE' to be a light purple color too. Now 'blue' can mean anything... which means that it... really means nothing.

Marriage is a specific union of one man and one womans, joined for life. That is what marriage is. Just like Blue is a specific color. If you can change it... then it means nothing. Although I'm not a Huckster fan... I agree with him on this one.

Words and Institutions are not 'changeable'. They mean what they mean. It's like the Constitution. The Constitution doesn't change meaning over time... and if it did, why have it?
