Marriage Under Fire

Book excerpt: Why shouldn'tthe definition of family be broadened and modernized? What harm could be done by two consenting adults who love one another coming together to create a binding union? In this succinct analysis of the issue, Dr. James Dobson presents a compelling case against the legalization of “marriage” between homosexuals, and the dire ramifications our nation could face: Same-sex marriage will destroy the fundamental principles of marriage, parenthood, and gender. Families will be increasingly unstable as their definition expands to incorporate multiple “moms” or “dads.” Legalization of gay marriages will lead to polygamy and other alternatives to one-man/one-woman unions. The divorce rate will be even higher, making our children less safe. Marriage Under Fireprovides the foundations of a battle plan for the preservation of traditional values in our nation. Our response could not be clearer. The well-being of the family, and thus our nation, hangs in the balance. Now is the time to speak out in defense of marriage and the family.
