Marriage
Marriage between one man and one woman is the time-honored foundation of the institution of the family. This legally recognized and protected union is intended to be life-long, preceded by sexual abstinence and followed by absolute fidelity and loyalty. Such marriage offers security, benefits and joys that no other relationship can, including children born and nurtured in a home of love and total commitment. Marriage is the institution universally sanctioned by civilization to ensure that children receive a full measure of parental love, resources and attention.
Successful marriages are:
- Indispensable to communities and businesses;
- Vital to the health and well-being of adults; and
- Necessary for the development of children
