In my own personal experience, the Lutherans are pretty much the least objectionable of the Protestant churches… They seem to have a good way of being joyful in worship without completely losing the liturgy… As far as my own marriage goes, I sympathize with you, because I and my husband also must refuse the new USA legal marriage “opportunity” (who knows what might change in the next few years) because of his health issues/money issues… I am still able and willing to take comfort in Christ and His Mother… No Government or Church can take that from me.
