Family is the most important thing in the universe, yet the world is degrading it. I have come to be an active advocate for marriage between a man and a woman. There is a liberal movement around the world that comes with Socialism. This past week President Hollande of France signed a law, making it legal to marry as a gay couple. I seek to raise awareness of what chastity is. Many people are experimenting with bisexual behaviors. This article is not only instructive against homosexual activities, but it is directed toward all the world.
I am Mormon, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I believe that this church is ran by a prophet of God. These people from the beginning of time has warned people of sin, which are steps unto the destruction of their society. The degrading of the family units around the world is destroying the foundation of the Earth's civilizations.
I have posted an anti-gay article on my blog, and I still stand my argument; however, it is shallow in morals, taking the environment of secularism. The article is My Argument Against Gay Rights. The article is not very professional compared to the documents that have been published by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I will list several articles upholding the true standard of chastity.
We Believe in Being Chaste by Elder Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
This article, "The Divine Institution of Marriage," is an official statement of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, concerning the liberal movement toward the legalization of same-sex marriage. This statement is originating from before the approval of Prop 8, encouraging the Latter-day Saints to do all that they can to help the campaign. The article is approved by a prophet of God, which has an in-depth description of the doctrine of Christ concerning same-sex Marriage. This has my complete view of the issue at hand, which I was unable to explain. I encourage all to read and ponder this prophetic instruction.
I listened to the declaration of the stance of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Same-sex Attraction in an interview setting with public affairs corespondents. It is very professional. The apostle of Jesus Christ, Elder Dallin H. Oaks, a former candidate to be a Supreme Court Justice, and Elder Wickman, also a law professor, are the interviewees. I invite all the read this article to hear from a special witness of Christ of learn of his teachings.
This talk lays down the law, which I sustain. It is an article written by the apostle Bruce R McConkie called Celestial Marriage. Our families are the most important unit, "a unit more important than the Church." “Verily I say unto you, [saith the Lord,] that whoso forbiddeth to marry is not ordained of God, for marriage is ordained of God unto man." God endorses our desire to marry; although, the modern philosophy encourages the opposite because it is the true source of happiness. I believe that this is true, and I am using my greatest wisdom to prepare for marriage. Secondly I believe this:
"Elijah came and Elias came, acting in the power and authority of the Almighty, and gave once again their keys, powers, prerogatives, and rights to mortal men on earth—praise God for this glorious thing! Once again on earth there are people who can bind on earth and have it sealed everlastingly in the heavens. We have the power to perform a marriage, and we can do it so that the man and the woman become husband and wife here and now and—if they keep the covenant there and then made—they will remain husband and wife in the spirit world and will come up in glory and dominion, with kingdoms and exaltation in the resurrection, being husband and wife and having eternal life. And it operates thus because in this church, and in this church only, the Lord Almighty has given the sealing power. That is our potential; that is within our possible realm of achievement."
Crossing Thresholds and Becoming Equal Partners
Priesthood Authority in the Family and in the Church: "The family proclamation gives this beautiful explanation of the relationship between a husband and a wife: While they have separate responsibilities, “in these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners” (“The Family: A Proclamation to the World,” Liahona, Oct. 2004, 49; Ensign, Nov. 1995, 102; emphasis added)."
Standards of Purity
Love and Law, a speech by Apostle Dallin H. Oaks

I’ve often thought of the happy times we had when our family was young and our children were at home. I have made a mental review of those days and considered the changes I would make in our family organization and administration if we had the opportunity to live that period over again. There are two areas I would determine to improve if that privilege were granted to me to have young children in our home once again.
The key to fixing my marriage was to learn to see my husband as the Savior saw him.
More Diligent and Concerned at Home
In my office is a beautiful painting of a wheat field. The painting is a vast collection of individual brushstrokes—none of which in isolation is very interesting or impressive. In fact, if you stand close to the canvas, all you can see is a mass of seemingly unrelated and unattractive streaks of yellow and gold and brown paint. However, as you gradually move away from the canvas, all of the individual brushstrokes combine together and produce a magnificent landscape of a wheat field. Many ordinary, individual brushstrokes work together to create a captivating and beautiful painting.
Each family prayer, each episode of family scripture study, and each family home evening is a brushstroke on the canvas of our souls. No one event may appear to be very impressive or memorable. But just as the yellow and gold and brown strokes of paint complement each other and produce an impressive masterpiece, so our consistency in doing seemingly small things can lead to significant spiritual results. “Wherefore, be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great” (D&C 64:33). Consistency is a key principle as we lay the foundation of a great work in our individual lives and as we become more diligent and concerned in our own homes.
Being consistent in our homes is important for another reason. Many of the Savior’s harshest rebukes were directed to hypocrites. Jesus warned His disciples concerning the scribes and Pharisees: “Do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not” (Matthew 23:3). This strong admonition is sobering given the counsel to “express love—and show it,” to “bear testimony—and live it,” and to “be consistent.”
The hypocrisy in our lives is most readily discerned and causes the greatest destruction within our own homes. And children often are the most alert and sensitive when it comes to recognizing hypocrisy.

I remember the counsel of our beloved prophet Spencer W. Kimball to married students. He said: "I have told tens of thousands of young folks that when they marry they should not wait for children until they have finished their schooling and financial desires. ... They should live together normally and let the children come.

There are two areas I would determine to improve if that privilege were granted to me to have young children in our home once again.
The first would be
to spend more time as husband and wife in a family executive committee meeting
learning, communicating, planning, and organizing to better fulfill our roles
as parents.
The second wish I
would like, if I could have those years over, would be to spend more family
time. This includes more consistent, meaningful family home evenings. - Therefore I was taught

To the Fathers in Israel by Prophet Ezra Taft Benson
Love means being sensitive to her feelings and needs. She wants to be noticed and treasured. She wants to be told that you view her as lovely and attractive and important to you. Love means putting her welfare and self-esteem as a high priority in your life.
To the Mothers in Zion by Prophet Ezra Taft Benson
Here is a beautiful tribute by a son to his mother: "I don't remember much about her views of voting nor her social prestige; and what her ideas on child training, diet, and eugenics were, I cannot recall. The main thing that sifts back to me now through the thick undergrowth of years is that she loved me. She liked to lie on the grass with me and tell stories, or to run and hide with us children. She was always hugging me. And I liked it. She had a sunny face. To me it was like God, and all the beatitudes saints tell of Him. And Sing! Of all the sensations pleasurable to my life nothing can compare with the rapture of crawling up into her lap and going to sleep while she swung to and fro in her rocking chair and sang. Thinking of this, I wonder if the woman of today, with all her tremendous notions and plans, realizes what an almighty factor she is in shaping of her child for weal or woe. I wonder if she realizes how much sheer love and attention count for in a child's life."
