A husband being a man who is married to a woman and a wife being a woman who is married to a man is how things have been for hundreds of years throughout nations all over the planet. There is no reason to change that now. There are plenty of gender neutral terms to use already - spouse, partner, significant other, mate, companion, etc. Pick one. Heritage and tradition are important. They are a big part of culture, and culture is what keeps society together. Maybe as years go by and gay marriage becomes more and more accepted, then the husband and wife terms will change but there is no reason to cram it down peoples' throats by force.
Are you married? If so, do you have less than 10 children? If so, why not more? That was the norm for hundreds of years. Do you allow your wife to work outside of the home? Blasphemy! Don't you know a woman's place is in the home because she's not bright enough to do anything else? That's the way it was for thousands of years - and still is for many women in the world.
What in heck is unifying the sexes? My spouse and I have been together for 35 years, much longer than many of my straight friends. Being male and female does not make a marriage.
I am glad that you took the chance to educate us heterosexual folks.
Congratulations!
Best wish to you and yours. (((((((((( give you a long distance cyber hug ))))))))))))))))

None of those things you mentioned were changed by forcible decree. They changed naturally over time. Which is exactly what I said, that things will change on their own over time. So all your disagreement ended up doing was further reinforcing my point.
Meh, live and let live. I will be the young voter that goes out to vote against the religious bigots and keep America moving in the right direction :-)
