"... The family is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity. ..." - The Family: A Proclamation to the World
There should be no confusion as to how the family is defined. We have it defined by prophets of God as marriage between man and woman where children are born into the bonds of matrimony. This isn't a fairy-tale definition, it is how our Father intended it to be. This family, we learn, is central to his plan for our eternal destiny.
It is interesting that we are told that the family unit is central to God's plan. As a key component of the plan we can know that it is something that is very important. It is not a trivial thing to redefine the family to fit personal situations and feelings. In so doing we risk bringing the judgments of God upon us.
