A major reason for misunder- standing the present marriage issues in politics is that so few people think deeply into what marriage is and why it is. Our Western culture has gotten so caught up with materialism (the pursuit of physical things) that reasoning has deteriorated. Basic principles of life have been forgotten or neglected. |
|
The original purpose of marriage is for a couple to create human life together. This is fundamental to all human societies. One of the greatest things that comes from this relationship, when it is successful, is the peaceful security of a permanent bonding between two people. The natural result of the husband-wife relationship is children. Human life is perpetuated. Procreation is the fundamental purpose of marriage. |

Recognizing and respecting the value of a successful husband-wife relationship cannot reasonably be construed as any prejudice against people who have any emotional attractions for people of the same sex. Appreciating the importance of traditional marriage is an intelligent observation of its relevance to human society and happiness in family life. It is natural and reasonable to protect the definition of marriage as being between a wife and a husband. No other institu- tion better deserves protection! |

Preserving the definition of the word “marriage” is not a policy “against gays” but a sign of appreciation for the supreme value of the husband- wife relationship to society. |
