Marriage is
more than the private relationship between two people in a marriage. Marriage
is a social institution that provides society with the very foundation of
civilization. In order for marriage to
remain the cornerstone of civilization it is important that society supports
it. Marriage has proven itself indispensable
to the nurturing of the young. Strong marriages create strong families and
families create a society.
Marriage is
of public importance and affects far more than the two people who wed. Marriage is the most basic and the oldest of
the three foundational institutions of Western civilization “Marriage,
Government and the Church”. Marriage is the most basic of the three because
without children there would be no need for a government and even a church.
Fruit of a marriage makes the government and the church.
