What is a family? According to Webster’s 1913 dictionary a family is, “The group comprising a husband and wife and their dependent children, constituting a fundamental unit in the organization of society.” On the other hand, if we type the word “family” into Dictionary.com we will get a completely different definition, “Family: a social unit consisting of one or more adults together with the children they care for (Ammer).”
Where in the past 101 years did we forget the husband and wife part? In our society today a family can be whoever “loves” each other.
That means a family could be two men and two women with their adopted children or even just a home where there are multiple men and women who interchangeably live and sleep together in one “family unit”.
“Just so long as we all love each other it’s cool.” Is that really what a family is? The idea of family has been so construed by our modern world until we think that spouse sharing, homosexuality, and polygamy are all acceptable so long as it works for us and we love everybody.
But this concept of love that everyone keeps talking about is not what love really is. This kind of love is one gland calling to another.
