Male and Female He Made Them: Questions and Answers about Marriage and Same-Sex Unions
Our society today is undergoing a tremendous assault on marriage and the family. Sadly, many good people do not realize that if this attack is allowed to continue unchecked, the consequences will be disastrous for society.The battle that is currently being waged focuses particularly on marriage, and is culminating in the fight for "gay marriage." Some wonder why there is such concern about same-sex marriage. If two people really love each other, why should it matter whether the couple consists of a man and a woman, two men, or two women? Proponents of same-sex unions have persuaded much of the public that such unions are a matter of "justice," a matter of "rights."But the same voices for "diversity" shout down scholars and medical experts who offer hope for those who struggle with homosexuality. Experts have demonstrated that homosexual tendencies and same-sex attraction disorder can be prevented. Effective parental education and early childhood counseling can save thousands from a lifetime of sexual confusion and personal grief. Yet this truth is unwelcome in public discourse, ridiculed in academia, and discarded by public policy makers.Why is this information suppressed?Mary Jo Anderson and Dr. Robin Bernhoft discuss this question, along with many of today's most pressing questions on the topic of same-sex marriage in their new book "Male and Female He Made Them." In a question-and-answer format, the book leads the reader through the gay marriage debate in six sections:1) Same-sex unions and society 2) The nature of marriage 3) What the Church teaches 4) What medical science says 5) What the Bible says 6) Political considerationsThis book is designed to be a user-friendly guide that is easily accessible for reference purposes.Within this book, you will find the answers to these questions:- How would same-sex unions destroy the meaning of marriage? - What are the benefits of traditional marriage? - How are children affected by same-sex partnerships? - What is so definite about marriage that it is not open to redefinition? - Why must the "other half" of a marriage be of the opposite sex? - Why is the Catholic Church so protective of marriage? - How can the marriage of a man and a woman be a sign of Christ and the Church? - How does the definition of gender affect the question of marriage? - Is homosexuality genetic, or does same-sex attraction stem from other factors? - Is there any hope for a Christian who struggles with same-sex attraction? - What would legalized same-sex unions mean to Catholics?The goal of this volume is to help citizens recover a known but marginalized truth: Marriage and family life ordered to the divine design builds healthy, peaceful communities.The cultural battle for the preservation of marriage is not one of religion, politics, geography, or ethnicity. Marriage is, quite simply, the human future.If you want to learn the truth about the fight for homosexual marriage, you'll want to be sure to order a copy of "Male and Female He Made Them" today.
