The Deconstruction of Marriage: A Call to Uphold God’s Design in an Unravelling Society

As society experiences a profound transformation in the understanding of marriage, we are called to rise against the deconstruction of this sacred institution. With biblical teachings as our foundation, we must recognize the erosion of traditional marriage values and the implications this has for future generations. The defense of marriage as ordained by God—between one man and one woman—offers not only moral clarity but also societal stability. This call to action encourages God’s people to stand firm in their faith and uphold the sanctity of marriage amid increasing challenges.

(Defense of Marriage Act, Sept 21, 1996)

  4.

WA Recognizes Same-Sex Marriages • Washington State now recognizes same-sex marriages from other states “A couple who is validly married in another jurisdiction, when they come to Washington state, they'll be recognized as having a domestic partnership here,” said Rep.
