Say What?

A blogger says:

I tend to roll my eyes when I read about churches that offer classes to strengthen marriage because I've observed those classes to be about perpetuating stereotypes and keeping people "in their place." They exclude committed same sex couples or single people who would like a partner but haven't yet found a love that sticks around in the words of one.

Maybe I am missing something but why would a class to strengthen marriage include either "committed same sex couples" or "single people"? Both are, by definition, excluded from marriage, though for entirely different reasons.

And why would a marriage class that targets married people cause someone to roll their eyes?
