Take Back Marriage for Our Children and Families!
Our children are losing their faith! Because of the corrupting influence of the culture about marriage and sexuality, they believe faith is no longer relevant.

The Marriage Reality Movement® is a network of people and coalition of organizations of all faiths and beliefs, concerned about the state of marriage in society, who wish to join a positive and practical effort to rebuild a marriage culture.
This is a not political movement; it’s much more than winning a public policy debate. It is movement of love and mercy seeking to reveal the truth of marriage in ways that all can understand and seek its good in their own lives. An important objective is to end the lies that the state and culture are feeding our children; lies that corrupt their understanding about the reality of marriage, family and sexuality.
How young people understand the truth about sexual intimacy, marriage, and family influences the choices they make in their own lives. The culture is feeding them a steady diet of information that is designed to lead them away from the truth. The Marriage Reality Movement first and foremost seeks to “reintroduce” marriage at all levels of society, starting from the beginning.
Promote the centrality and integrity of marriage for children and society specifically by:
Defend and promote the human right of the child "to be conceived, carried in the womb, brought into the world and brought up within marriage: it is through the secure and recognized relationship to his own parents that the child can discover his own identity and achieve his own proper human development.”1
Defend and promote the human right of young people to have “freedom in seeking and knowing the truth”2 about love, marriage, family and sexuality. Young people cannot seek and discover the truth if it is hidden from them by school curricula and popular culture.
Evaluate every law, institution and curriculum by how well it promotes men and women marrying before having children, supports young people developing relationships that lead to marriage and supports men and women in their marriages.3
Some even make presentations in the community to alert people of the crisis of the breakdown of marriage that is touching every family. Today, every child is at risk.

Take back marriage from whom?
A culture that has forgotten the meaning of marriage.
Take back marriage for whom?
Our children and grandchildren and all young people who are being taught a corrupted understanding of what marriage is.
Research shows it influences the choices they make about marriage and family in their lives. Who wants their children to grow up to be single parents or their grandchildren deprived of married mothers and fathers?
For women under 30 more than half of children are born outside of marriage. Less than half of children in the US are living in families with their moms and dads united in marriage.
Confusion has led to court decisions and statutory changes that make it an act of discrimination to promote the unique value of men and women marrying before having children.
