What are three points for agree?

Marriage forms a stable background for having children
In the Christian marriage service it states: “Marriage is the foundation of family life.”
The parents of the family are committed to each other as so their children will be born into a nuclear family with love and stability
Marriage is a public statement that a family has been formed
The members of the family can then rely upon their friends and families to support them in times of need, such as death or financial situations
Another reason I agree is that unmarried couples are not as committed to each other and the family as a married couple
A study by the Marriage Foundation shows that unmarried couples who have children are more than twice as likely split up
This causes emotional stress to the children of the family and does not guarantee parental commitment to the children which is important as the children grow up

Marriage is not needed for a family to be strong
A stable, nuclear family can exist without the legal declaration of marriage unifying them

These marriages are unjust and incapable of having a happy and thriving family
