Commentary
My friend and colleague Jim Daly, president of Focus on the Family, wrote in his book “Marriage Done Right”: “[Marriage] is a sacred union of a man and a woman that confers myriad benefits on the spouses, their children, and society at large—benefits that cannot be replicated by any other relationship. I would go so far as to say a society cannot flourish, or even long survive, without stable marriages at its core.”
