Dear marriage supporter,
The significance of man-woman marriage to the fabric of our society is emphasised by respected writer and speaker Dr Stephen McQuoid, in our recent interview. His insights are enlightening and give us a guide to bolstering our society by promoting marriage. You can listen to our discussion here.
Referring to his highly relevant book, ‘In His Image: A Biblical Introduction to Social Ethics’, Dr McQuoid paints a vivid picture of marriage’s indispensable role in societal health and harmony. Defending marriage from a historic biblical point of view, the book is a treasure trove of wisdom, relatable not just to individuals of faith but to anyone vested in the well-being of our society.
Dr McQuoid’s analysis reveals a stark link between the decline in traditional marriage and the increase in social deprivation. He poses a fundamental question – “How can you function as a society unless there are boundaries and limitations?” Through this lens, we see the importance of commitment, loyalty, and fidelity within marriage – values that foster stability and create a solid foundation for societal growth.
Drawing from his experiences, Dr McQuoid says, “marriage is of such importance ... it’s [an] utter commitment of loyalty and fidelity to [a] person … it’s a solemn commitment that you make to this individual that you’ll commit yourself for life to this person”.
Our individual role in strengthening society through the promotion of marriage cannot be overstated. Dr McQuoid’s words offer a compelling argument for involvement in this vital cause. The future of our society relies on our collective efforts to uphold and reiterate the value of marriage. This interview is a must-share with any person in your circle who values the institution of marriage!
At C4M we know that man-woman marriage is the stabilising bedrock of society. While some would seek to undermine real marriage, we know that, acting together, our voices of support will prevail.

THE CHURCH MUST TAKE A STAND ON MARRIAGE
Dear marriage supporter,
Reverend Dr Joe Boot, founder of the Ezra Institute, recently joined me for a must-watch interview, offering essential guidance for all – and especially today’s church leaders. Dr Boot’s intellect and insight shed light on the urgent need for the Church to uphold man-woman marriage. Marriage, he says, is a foundational institution that transcends religious boundaries, with relevance to people from all faiths and none. The full interview is available here https://youtu.be/gwpBEOALfTU, along with this shorter seven-minute clip for those pressed for time.
In our conversation, Revd Dr Boot emphasises that “the message of the Gospel” includes “human identity and sexuality”. Revd Dr Boot offers practical advice on how busy pastors can find time to tackle these cultural challenges, stressing that this should be a vital aspect of their ministry.
He does not shy away from the reality that many non-Christians are deeply disappointed with the Church’s stand on these issues. He insists that “we have to show… compassion and kindness without compromising what is true”.
He quotes that marriage is “the cosmological key to the universe”, emphasising the profound significance of marriage to the stability of society.
The cultural attacks on marriage and family are not new, Dr Boot argues. But the Church cannot afford to stay silent. Emphasising the responsibility of the Church to engage in these cultural battles, he asserts: “You can’t leave that struggle to JK Rowling… [and] Sharron Davies”.
C4M believes that the restoration of real marriage will be driven by the silent majority speaking out. To support this effort, please forward this email to any church leaders you know and encourage them to listen to Dr Boot’s important message.
