This book defends the fundamental place of the marital family in
modern liberal societies. While applauding modern sexual freedoms,
John Witte, Jr also defends the traditional Western teaching that
the marital family is an essential cradle of conscience, chrysalis
of care, and cornerstone of ordered liberty. He thus urges
churches, states, and other social institutions to protect and
promote the marital family. He encourages reticent churches to
embrace the rights of women and children, as Christians have long
taught, and encourages modern states to promote responsible sexual
freedom and family relations, as liberals have long said. He
counsels modern churches and states to share in family law
governance, and to resist recent efforts to privatize, abolish, or
radically expand the marital family sphere. Witte also invites
fellow citizens to end their bitter battles over same-sex marriage
and tend to the vast family field that urgently needs concerted
attention and action.
