Marriage, Family, and Sexuality

Family Research Council champions marriage and family as the foundational cornerstone of civilization, the seedbed of virtue, and the wellspring of society. Properly understood, “families” are formed only by ties of blood, marriage, or adoption, and “marriage” is a union of one man and one woman. The only appropriate context for sexual relations is within the marriage of a man and a woman. Moreover, we believe that because God created us “male and female” (Gen. 1:17), we have no right to re-create ourselves otherwise.
