I am a Defender of Marriage.

“Sin, even if legalized by man, is still sin in the eyes of God.” Elder Russell M. Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, declared this at the BYU Graduation Commencement in 2014. I believe it to be true. God has set up certain laws for us to follow and he is superior to man. My goal is not to offend anyone with this week’s post, but I feel like this is important and needs to be shared. I firmly believe that marriage is only to be between a man and a woman. That is what God intended and he will not change his mind about that and neither will I. It is vital that children be raised by both a mother and a father who are married. Children deserve the best life there is for them. If they are to have a normal life, it should be done in the best interest for them. Bringing children into untraditional homes brings more damage and harm than it does good this is because they are being taught that the lifestyle they are being raised in is of good value and worth which will keep the epidemic going and increase the likelihood of that untraditional family lifestyle to continue to spread. The only benefit I see of having gay marriage be legalized is that children have two married parents instead of two parents that are just cohabitating. I firmly believe that children should not be brought into this world if they are going into a family that has parents that are unmarried. You lose that sense of commitment and stability and the families no longer much value because they aren’t connected in that bond that comes through marriage. I do not support gay marriage and I think children suffer regardless, however, it would be a better situation for them to have married gay parents rather than unmarried gay parents.In a case study that I recently read by the Supreme Court of the United States, It stated that children are doing just fine in homes that are untraditional, particularly gay/lesbian homes. I agree that they can still provide loving and nurturing homes, but I don’t see the beneficial advantages or where the children gain any values when brought up in a home like that. This type of lifestyle impacts the children and deprives them of having both a mother and a father. Children need that balance. It is important because mothers and fathers provide important qualities to the home and each different aspects. Fathers are to provide, preside and protect the family whereas mothers are to nurture, prepare and care. I believe in this principle firmly. Fathers and Mothers add different qualities and aspects to the home that one can do and the other can’t just because of natural gender tendencies.  That is why God created both a man and a woman. So they can be together. I am grateful for the council the Lord gives us. It provides us with the truth we need especially in these changing and challenging days.
Marriage between a man and a woman is beautiful and perfect in the eyes of god. It is the reason why we are here. It is part of God’s eternal plan for us. To marry and multiple and replenish the earth. I know that the Lord will bless those who follow that commandment. It is my responsibility to stand as an advocate for marriage and family in the most traditional way. Especially in these changing times. The adversary is doing everything he can to destroy the family and we need defenders of marriage, defenders of family and defenders of truth.
