[Making Marriage Cool]: One Man, One Woman for life

Mission: Bringing hope and encouragement for life-long married love Principle Messages:

•Treating same sex unions as marriages will change marriage in destructive ways. •The differences between women and men are opportunities for mutual benefit, not sources of conflict. •Life-long married love offers the best life-chances for women, men and especially for children. •Women’s thriving depends on successful family life, just as much as on successful career and education. •Fathers are essential to the well-being of children, the health of the family, and the good of society.

The Ruth Institute promotes:

•Marriage as a fundamental, gender-based, social institution •Realistic preparation for marriage, including relationship skills, long-term planning and appropriate sexual behavior. •The family-friendly, free-market, faith-filled participation of women in all aspects of society •The active participation of men in the family •Collaboration and cooperation between men and women, both at home and at work •Human sexuality as an engine for building up the family, through both spousal unity and reproduction.
