My wife was pregnant before we were married. My responsibility to her, was to marry her. My responsibility to my children was to make sure they had a father and mother in a family setting for them by the time they came along.

Their mother and I agreed and we made it happen.

I lost that marriage about 15 years later, but it was important to me to have those kids in a family setting for as long as I could manage it.

I don’t defend the state for what it does. It was doing it then, and it will be doing it on into the future. I still think marriage is the cornerstone of our society.

I won’t let the Leftists destroy that.

I think that marriage is the cornerstone of society. Now that it is not taken seriously in the secular world, I think that the religious should marry within their faith, but I am not sure that it is worthwhile to claim it as a secular legal contract.
