A better story
At the very beginning, God created the family as one of the building blocks in society. Marriage is part of his good design for humanity, to enable us to flourish.
Strong families are foundational to a healthy society. Marriages too are vital, representing the gold standard of commitment. We want to support MPs in advocating for policies which will enable families to thrive.
Our vision is to see society transformed by families being strengthened and more support being given to help couples stay together.
