As many of you might know,traditional marriage in California is being threatened. Activists are trying to legalize same-sex marriage and undermine what is recognized as a sacred union between a man and a woman.
"Marriage is sacred, ordained of God from before the foundation of the world. After creating Adam and Eve, the Lord God pronounced them husband and wife, of which Adam said, “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” [1] Jesus Christ cited Adam’s declaration when he affirmed the divine origins of the marriage covenant: “Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, and said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh.” [2] " (The Divine Institution of Marriage)
As a latter-day Saint, I believe in marriage. I believe that it is a sacred institution and that its greatest duty is to bring children into the world.God's children.
For those children that are yet to come into this world,we must give our very best effort to protect the most precious union two people can share.
Family is the pillar of society and the greatest anchor we can have in a world full of turmoil and immorality. And it is the right of a child to be reared by a father and a mother. No one can deny that both sides bring something different yet important to the balance of a child.
We know the consequences that legalizing same sex marriage will have in short and long terms on society and we cannot allow society to go that far.

Marriage is ordained of God and for those who don't believe in God,nature then made it only possible for our race to survive because of the union of a man and a woman. There is a purpose to marriage and there are so many wonderful blessings that come along with it. A family is something precious and each child in this world should a right to be raised by a mother and a father.
I am so sad to see what is happening on our society...if we can't keep the family unit intact then nothing will stand the calamities of this world.
I know that marriage is ordained of God and that families can be forever together.
Let's be a light unto the world,let's be the examples that Christ wants us to be.Let's be strong in our standards.And let simply the light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ shine!
