Correcting Cultural Lies About Marriage - Sharon James
Marriage is not a social construct; it is a divinely ordained institution going back to Creation. As many today prioritise individual freedom, marriage is increasingly regarded as just about the personal happiness of the two people concerned. This leads to the weakening of the norm of marital permanence, and ultimately to the redefinition of marriage to include same-sex relationships. We need to have confidence to speak out, and live out, the truth and beauty of God’s good design for men, women, and marriage.
