70. What does our created nature (natural law) teach us about marriage?
Human beings are by nature male or female. According to the pattern of nature itself, a new human life cannot be conceived without a man and a woman. The most natural setting for the care of the baby who is born is for the child to be cared for by his or her mother and father, who have committed themselves to each other and to their child. This natural pattern has been the basis for marriages and families throughout all of human history in every human culture.
Genesis 5:1-2 This is the book of the generations of Adam. When God created man, He made him in the likeness of God. Male and female He created them, and He blessed them and named them Man when they were created.
