HIGHLIGHTS FROM LEADING VOICES ON MARRIAGE: A MUST-WATCH VIDEO
Dear marriage supporter,
This is the first of three compilation videos over the holiday period, featuring highlights from our many interviews throughout the year. The video draws together powerful excerpts from leading international authors and speakers. Their combined wisdom shows us the vital importance of man-woman marriage as the foundation of a healthy society. Watch the full compilation video here. NB links to the individual interviews are given below.
Nancy Pearcey reveals how the Industrial Revolution disrupted men’s traditional “caretaking ethos”, leading to a negative shift in perceptions of masculinity. She asks: “Can we reconnect men to their families, even in an industrial era?”. This theme of restoration resonates through the interviews.
Paul Dirks speaks of the family as a unit of resistance against cultural pressures that undermine its structure. Meanwhile, Revd Matthew Roberts insists that Christian teaching on sex and identity is “incredibly good news” and offers a richer understanding of humanity.
Louise Kirk shares her approach to relationships and sex education, emphasising that it should not do “great damage” to children. She highlights her book Sexuality Explained as a tool for parents to teach these sensitive topics with care and wisdom.
Dr Miriam Grossman warns about the ‘ambush’ of families by trans ideology, stressing the importance of affirming children’s emotions without affirming false beliefs. Katy Faust adds that surrogacy and the commodification of children prioritise adult desires over the rights and needs of children. She asserts: “It’s not about adult fulfilment… This must be evaluated through the best interests of the child.”
Mary Eberstadt highlights the consequences of the sexual revolution, saying: “Many people don’t understand anymore why people lived in families in the first place.” She calls for a renewal of marriage’s benefits across all social strata.
Prof Mark Regnerus explores how ‘cheap sex’ has devalued commitment and diminished the appeal of marriage. Dr Jennifer Roback Morse identifies “divorce ideology” and “gender ideology” as forces that undermine the family, stating: “everyone really, truly wants reliable love”.
At C4M, these voices remind us of the critical role of marriage in shaping a stable and flourishing society. By championing one-man, one-woman marriage, we protect not just the institution itself but the well-being of future generations. Be inspired by these thought leaders and consider sharing their wisdom with others.
