Obviously, marriage is not a synonym for morality. But stable marriages and families do encourage moral behavior. – Gary Bauer
For the record, I believe elected officials should talk about faith. Our founders believed the moral principles of faith were indispensable to our nations survival. The Declaration of Independence mentions God four times. – Gary Bauer
