“The definition of marriage enables us to distinguish between marriage other forms of close personal relationships. We exist in two sexes, and marriage is the enduring and exclusive sexual union of one man and one woman. This union provides a caring and stable environment for the expression of the physical and psychological bond between male and female. This practical ideal does not intentionally forfeit the child’s right to grow up being nurtured by both parents. The redefinition of marriage will reduce it to a commitment between two people, and there are many relationships in society which would meet the new definition. Marriage will lose its distinctiveness.”
