>marriages are religiously defined as between a man and a woman. Doesn't the Bible also liken a marriage as between people and him? So if it's ok with me to have a marriage relationship with a non female god, then surely it's ok to have the same with a man. Also does the Bible say a marriage has to be between a man and a woman? Or just husband and wife, if so can't one of the couple be deemed to be a wife. Ultimately they can make up any old rubbish to justify the position but it's still internally inconsistent. As you point out infertile people can get married, and the CofE is fine with condoms etc.
