“In his great wisdom and love God established three social institutions: the home, the State and the Church. He instituted marriage to propagate the human race within a nuclear community of mutual love, fidelity and permanence, and to mirror His relationship to His people. Without marriage, families fragment and vulnerable children are born without godly homes to nourish them. God instituted the State to restrain evil, as defined in the Holy Bible, and to promote a social context for holy living. And God is building His church to create a universal community to worship Him and to love one another. These three institutions should complement one another. . .”–Bruce Waltke.

“Family is built on marriage and government–the state–has a profound interest in the integrity and well-being of marriage, and to write it off as if it were purely a religiously significant action and not an institution and action that has a profound significance, would be a terrible mistake”–Princeton Professor Robert George.

“Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, Religion and Morality are indispensable supports . . . The mere Politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them . . . reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle”–George Washington, in his Farewell Warning to the Nation.

” ‘Haven’t you read the Scriptures?’ Jesus replied. ‘They record that from the beginning God made them male and female.’ And he said, ‘This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one’ “–Matthew 19:4-5.
