MYTH: Marriage has evolved and doesn't need to be protected.
The institution of marriage predates government and has served
as the foundation of society for thousands of years. Marriage is
also the foundation of the family.    Marriage between a man and
a woman protects and promotes the well-being of children by
allowing the child produced from the sexual union of the two
adults to benefit from being raised by both her father and a
mother.  While death and divorce too often prevent it, children
do best when raised by a loving mother and father within the
bounds of marriage. Every child deserves to be loved by her
mother and her father.
