Last Friday, June 26 2015, the Supreme Court ruled that gay marriage is legal in all 50 states. I am not surprised as this has been a debate for many years. I am not even disappointed. I know that this benefits many people and I have hope that it will unite many families. But I am also nervous for the repercussions. What doors does this open? What will happen to religious freedom? How do I teach my children that although it is lawful it is not what God wants? I pray and will continue to pray to understand this event. I know that God will help me teach my children the special bond and true nature of marriage. I want them to know that the institution of marriage is to be between a man and woman and that God created it that way for our happiness. The marriage of man and woman is different and special and always will be. It is only through this union that children can be created the way God desires.
This event and many others have shown me how our world is becoming overly accepting. Not all behavior is acceptable, as much as people want it to be. I want my children to understand that limitations are put on our behavior to protect us and to increase our happiness. I believe in a loving God, one that wants his children to be happy. True and eternal happiness is found when we follow the principles God created. I do not understand everything this new law entails or how it will impact my family but I do understand completely that God loves me, my family, and all others.
