For the life of me, I don't understand what honest motive there is in putting this in front of this body to philosophically debate marriage on a constitutional amendment that is not going to happen, and which is enormously divisive in all of our communities.

What I've learned about marriage: You need to have each other's back you have to be a kind of team going through life.

A marriage contract to me is as binding as any in business, and I have always believed in sticking to an agreement.

I have never been given to envy - save for the envy I feel toward those people who have the ability to make a marriage work and endure happily.

I do support a constitutional amendment on marriage between a man and a woman, but I would not be going into the states to overturn their state law.
