Hi,
(1) During the debate and the discussion on the definition of marriage, I was asked over and over again, "How would this change your marriage to include same-sex couples in the definition of marriage? How could making marriage more inclusive harm the institution?"
Can the be deleted before discussion? Please advise Yes.
(2) If it is nurtured in its traditional or historic form, it is sustained as the foundation for the raising of children. It is family-centered.
Can the hyphen be deleted in family-centered? Please advise. I suggest that you keep the hyphen. ( In Canada, we favour the British spelling, ie 'centred'. )
Best wishes, Clive
