Why do gay couples get married and both call themselves the wife or husband?

Marriage is about a man and a woman getting married. What's the point in getting married if both men are calling each other the husband and, the women are calling each other wife. I don't get it.

Does not Yin complement Yang, oh grasshopper? Do not be deluded by external form instead seek its nature. By observing this we learn that it is the nature of each being to seek harmony.

@lily88mercy But its not Yin and Yin or Yang and Yang. Its Yin & Yang. Man & Woman.

Despite the appearance of gender, each human being is a mix of both masculine and feminine energies or attributes. And so it is the same of marriage between those of the same sex. One person gravitates or identifies with the masculine aspect and calls that self "husband." The other gravitates to the feminine and calls that self "wife."

To learn more from the point of view of Western analytical psychology, read about Jung's perspective on the Anima and the Animus.

Be patient when first reading. It was all gobblydygook to me at first!
