Male and Female He Made Them: Questions and Answers about Marriage and Same-Sex Unions

Our society today is undergoing tremendous assaults on marriage and the family. Sadly, many people do not realize the extent to which their enemies are succeeding. If this attack continues unchecked, the consequences will be disastrous. The battle currently being waged focuses particularly on marriage and is culminating in the fight for homosexual marriage. Proponents have persuaded much of the public that such unions are a matter of justicea matter of rights." The authors lead the reader through the homosexual marriage debate in these key areas: Same-sex unions and society, the nature of marriage, political considerations, what the Church teaches, what the Bible says, and what medical science reveals. Their goal is to help citizens recover a known but marginalized truth: Marriage and family life ordered to the divine design builds healthy communities. The cultural battle for the preservation of marriage is not one of religion, politics, geography, or ethnicity. Marriage is, quite simply, the human future.
