As the philosopher Pat Benatar said, Love is a Battlefield. As if it wasn’t hard enough finding the right person and making it all work, society’s failure to recognise all relationships as equal has been a long-standing source of grief and difficulty for many. In this very special Love and Lust edition of the Lunchbox/Soapbox, we make the case for throwing the chapel doors wide open and making a broad church of marriage.
