The purpose of marriage is to spiritually, emotionally and physically unite a man and a women together, as husband and wife, in a covenantal relationship between themselves and their Creator.
But what is the purpose of gay marriage? Only for sex? How to give birth if man married man?
Two Argentine men have defied national law to wed in Latin America's first same-sex marriage.
Last month, a lower court judge in Buenos Aires cleared the way for the marriage by dismissing Argentina's marriage laws as unconstitutional.
But then the couple could not find an official in Buenos Aires who would agree to marry them. In the end the two travelled 2,000 kilometres to the far south of Argentina where they were able to get married.
Gay marriage is illegal in Argentina, but the provincial governor issued a special decree to allow the two men to wed.
One of the grooms, Jose Maria Di Bello, says he hopes his marriage will set a precedent for other countries.
"I want this union to symbolise that this point, the further south in the world is the end of the world, but also the beginning of everything," he said.
"And from Ushuaia, the city further south in the world and from Argentina we are shedding light, to the whole of Latin America and the Carribbean."
In much of the commentary in Argentine media, the idea of same-sex marriage is still considered scandalous and in general homosexuality is frowned upon.
The Catholic Church has expressed concern over the wedding.
