Same-sex marriage is a huge controversy in our day. More people are for gay couples being legally wedded. I used to think that this was an issue of love. It is not. Same-sex marriage is selfish and lustful. God has clearly ordained marriage between a man and a woman. This is how it was organized from the beginning of the world with Adam and Eve. He then commanded them to multiply and replenish the earth. The family was designed so that children would be born into a family with both their biological mother and their biological father. Every child has this right. I understand that many people suffer from same-sex attraction. This tendency, just like any other mortal weakness, should be bridled and kept within the bounds the Lord has set. Families are being destroyed and society is suffering. Nothing can replace failure in the home.
The government does not have any place to step into the love life of adults. They should not be interested in romance and interpersonal relationships. Same-sex marriage is a civil issue because of the natural rights that are being taken away from children. Their development and well-being is dependent on their upbringing. There is nothing that can replace a father or a mother. Children need their parents, both of them. Male and female were created to compliment one another. They fit perfectly in every way, physically, emotionally and spiritually They compliment one another. It is not that having two mothers or two fathers cannot help children grow up to be healthy adults in society, they can influence their children for good, but they will never be able to fill the emptiness of missing the other parent.
Abandonment destroys children emotionally. Same-sex marriages mean that the child will never have both biological parents. Divorce has this same emotionally damaging effect. When an adopted child knows that their parents did not want them, knew that their mother wanted to abort them, or were born out of wedlock never to meet their father, there are lasting effects. This does not mean to say that healthy and successful children cannot come from these family situations, I have seen it happen several times. I mean to say that the traditional family will always be the ideal for raising a family, for it was ordained by God himself. Children deserve to be born to loving parents who want them in their home. Childbearing should be intentional. Parents should marry and diligently prepare for children to come into their homes. Raising these sweet spirits is a huge responsibility and one that when done in the right light, can bring unspeakable joy and satisfaction.
