In modern society, the term marriage is an ever-changing topic that many people feel strongly about, meanwhile I believe marriage is between people who desperately love one another and choose spend the rest of their lives together. However, marriage can be interpreted in different ways such as, polyamorous who believe marriage is between more than two people, religious groups who believe marriage is the union of one man and one woman, and marriage equality supporters who believe in same-sex unions. Though none of these groups are wrong, they seem to cause controversy due to fact not a single person can come to an agreement.

Also DOMA points that every child should have a mom and a dad, however in modern society families are being changed to where a child might have same-sex parents, trans-gender parents, or intersex parents.

    Across the world, marriage is a highly valued tradition that conjoins a man and a woman “till death do you part”. It's regarded as a contract that devotes two people to cherish and love each other. This tradition has dates back thousands of years, with the standing definition of marriage happening between a man and a woman.

It is evident that one of the state’s main interest in marriage is procreation and though people do not need to be married to have children, heterosexual marriages help to provide children with the benefits of being raised by both a mother
