The Divine Institution of Marriage

My parents told me about this beautiful statement from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It is a must read- it is beautifully written and with clarity all can understand where we stand on the topic of Marriage. It is perfect in light of the November 4th election for Proposition 8, which if passed will mean an amendment to the CA State Constitution that marriage is between a man and a woman.

With all the confusing information and frustration about the ramifications, this was so comforting to my soul.

I loved this last paragraph:
The final line in the Proclamation on the Family is an admonition to the world from the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve: “We call upon responsible citizens and officers of government everywhere to promote those measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society.” This is the course charted by Church leaders, and it is the only course of safety for the Church and for the nation.
