Thanks for your comment. In case it's useful to anyone, this outlines the Church's beliefs on the importance and nature of the family (not intended to be "against", so to speak, anyone): https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/family-home-evening-resource-book/the-family-a-proclamation-to-the-world?lang=eng https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/family-home... ...and one with related quotes/comments on specifics, following it: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/eternal-marriage-student-manual/the-family-a-proclamation?lang=eng https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/eternal-mar...
