For decades, our culture has been determined to reinvent marriage and redefine the family. We’ve been told that God’s design is restrictive, outdated, or unnecessary. The result has not been greater stability or human flourishing. Instead, we’ve witnessed increasing loneliness, fractured families, confusion about identity, and generations of children growing up without the support and security God intended them to have. When we abandon God's blueprint, we shouldn't be surprised when the structure becomes unstable. The family was not humanity’s idea—it was God’s. Marriage was not invented by a government, a court, or a culture. It was established by God from the beginning.

As followers of Jesus, we should have the courage to honor what God honors. We can do that with humility, kindness, and compassion, but we should never surrender our conviction. When biblical values are recognized, affirmed, and celebrated, we should be willing to say, "Thank God," and encourage others to do the same!
