Spirituality encompasses two practical objectives and defining characteristics. These transform both the individual and our society:

• Compassion

• Integrity

The word integrity evolved from the Latin adjective integer, meaning whole or complete. It is defined as 'an undivided or unbroken completeness' or a state of being complete or whole.

• By suppressing integrity and wholeness, you deny yourself the opportunity to live authentically and prevent your family and friends from connecting with the real you.

• Suppressing and denying the real you effectively hold back the gifts you have to offer the world by not being true to yourself.

• You become invisible and deny others the opportunity to discover, know, and love the real you.

• Society, the people who love you and yourself, are deprived of authenticity and attaining a more significant potential.

• Fear is a hindrance to integrity and self-actualization, and it ultimately leads to repression, division, resentment, and hatred.

Integrity makes compassion possible, and compassion for oneself and others empowers integrity.

You can only fully love and extend love to others once you have accepted and loved yourself.

What makes a Marriage?

On your wedding day, you commit to each other in front of family, friends, and society. In your vows, you promise:

"I will be there with and for you, come what may."

• You gift yourself to another, which is the greatest gift you can give.

• Another person gives themselves to you.

• You entrust yourselves to each other’s care.

• You encourage, strengthen, help, and challenge each other.

• You help each other reach your full potential.

• You anticipate each other’s needs, even before they are voiced.

• Marriage means being with each other, supporting each other, loving each other for who you are, and prioritizing each other's needs, hopes, and dreams.

I love you

(Love is both a verb & a state of being.)

Marriage Equality empowers Integrity and inspires Compassion.

It ensures that all individuals are respected and valued and have the opportunity to achieve their full potential, regardless of their orientation. Marriage Equality also facilitates everyone's participation in the legal and social institution of marriage, fostering personal development and a healthy and complete society based on universal human dignity.

What greater happiness is there for two people than to feel united to support each other in life’s work, comfort each other in trials, savor life’s joys together, and be one with each other in the still of their hearts?
