People are not only sacred but also SOCIAL. How we organize our society (in economics, politics, law, policy, neighborhoods, etc) directly affects human dignity and the capacity of individuals to grow in community. Within this all, marriage and the family are the central social institutions that must be supported &strengthened, not undermined. In fact, family is the original community, instituted by God in His creation, and it pictures for all of us (regardless of our own history with marriage or family) how God intended this world to function. Let's explore how that informs us today, even when it DOESN'T work the way its intended.
