Little "Nuggets" of Life: Marriage is Ordained of God

In “The Family: A Proclamation to the World,” the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles proclaim that “marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator's plan for the eternal destiny of His children.”

I could leave this post at that and make my point. Marriage is between a man and a woman. That's it. Nothing more. No sub definitions. There is just one definition. This is completely contrary to what the world believes, where we argue and vote and petition about what marriage should be, not what it already is and forever will be.

The definition of what marriage is has been around since the world began. When God put man Adam on the Earth he gave man a help meet, and equally yoked partner to journey through life and that partner was Eve, woman.

Moses 3

19 And out of the ground I, the Lord God, formed every ^abeast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and commanded that they should come unto Adam, to see what he would call them; and they were also living souls; for I, God, breathed into them the ^bbreath of life, and commanded that whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that should be the name thereof.

20 And Adam gave ^anames to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but as for Adam, there was not found an help meet for him.

21 And I, the Lord God, caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam; and he slept, and I took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh in the stead thereof;

22 And the rib which I, the Lord God, had taken from man, made I a ^awoman, and brought her unto the man.

23 And ^aAdam said: This I know now is bone of my bones, and ^bflesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of man.

24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall ^acleave unto his ^bwife; and ^cthey shall be ^done flesh.

There is so much confusion in the world of what marriage really is.

In 1995 Gordon B. Hinkley, Prophet and president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, along with the Quorum of Twelve Apostles issued "The Family: A Proclamation to the World."

Almost twenty years ago the prophet declared what marriage is. It sad see a worlds standards falling from the Lord's.

Marriage is a wonderful thing. I am so lucky to be married to my husband. I honestly don't think there is a better man out there for me than him. And what is even more wonderful is that I get to spend eternity with him. It doesn't get much better than that.

I'm sad to think they are peoples who are missing out on this wonderful marriage. Marriage and family is central to God's plan. Children need a father and a mother to teach them and set examples for them. Parents to love them and care for them. Family is so important in life.

The world is out there to believe that we need to change the definition of marriage because the world is changing. We need to change our standards to fit the worlds. Dress to fit in the world. Act to fit in the world. Everyone needs to be equal. All need to be treated the same. To the world is doesn't matter what God's laws are. But to me it does matter. I dont want to let the world tell me what to believe. I know what's true and I'm going to fight for it. I'm going to stand up for what I believe and I'm going to tell the world. And this is what I believe.
