Marriage is the fundamental social unit in society. 

 It is our responsibility, as advocates for the family and marriage, to defend marriage, to warn people of the dangers of destroying marriage, and to continue to be people with integrity and show how much we value the definition of marriage as being between a man and a woman. 

people who are in a monogamous relationship, namely marriage, are physically healthier!

It is proven that people live longer, are more psychologically healthy, and even feel happier. Monogamous marriage is a source for emotional support. When people feel they are emotionally supported they have fewer incidences of depression, mental illness, and seem to have a buffer to the effects of stress.

 United Families International has gone to great lengths to defend traditional marriage, and tried to protect the family from such destructive behaviors.  If families and marriages are allowed, because of laws, treaties, or non-binding declarations, to be an undefined entity, and not defined as between a man and a woman, as established in this nation, there will be calamities on individuals, communities, and nations that will not be understood or remedied. 

 Children of divorce display more difficulties than other children in social and academic areas. 

  There are also many other problems such as depression, anxiety, and physical ailments experienced by these children. There were also significant differences in social problems, being withdrawn, obsessive behaviors, and depression. The problem of divorce does not just impact the immediate family, but the community in which they reside.

"Children are ENTITLED to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity."  The Family: a Proclamation to the World 1995

Fight For Traditional Marriage!

We can get involved with this fight too, by emailing congress or senators about the issues that address marriage and family. We can vote for people who will uphold the values of marriage and the traditional family. We can have an influence in our own communities by joining PTA’s, attending school board meetings, and city council meetings to stay informed about what their ideas are and if necessary, voice our belief in these traditional values. 

We Need Your Help!
