Today, it’s common in our culture to discuss what a family is, but there’s only one opinion on the subject that really counts. In the book of Genesis, long before there was anything resembling an alternative lifestyle, God created a man and a woman and commanded them to be fruitful and multiply. Man’s rebellion against God’s direction is legendary, but God has never rescinded the original model of what a family is.

CMC defends biblical marriage because its origins are with God, not man. The accommodation, and indeed even the discussion, of alternative family models, is a stunning form of arrogance on man’s part. As a foundational value, and as a matter of sound public policy, CMC favors legislation that preserves God’s definition of marriage, and upholds the relationships He intended for children and their parents to have with each other.
