Issue Position: Marriage

Issue Position

"Marriage between a man and a woman is the most enduring human institution. Marriage was ordained by God, confirmed by law, and is the glue of the American family."

--Congressman Mike Pence

Marriage is the backbone of our society and a sacred institution established by God between one man and one woman. Numerous studies confirm that marriage between a man and a woman makes for strong families and strong families make for a strong nation.

Unfortunately, many activist judges across America are undoing this very fabric of our society by changing the traditional form of marriage between a man and a woman. As a result, I am sponsoring the Federal Marriage Amendment (H.J. Res. 56), a bill that would define marriage in the Constitution and protect it from being radically redefined by activist judges who overstep their constitutional boundaries.

This bill will hold unelected judges to account and prevent them from redefining marriage. It also allows for state voters and legislatures to determine if they wish to grant these types of unions, without imposing on the rights of other states.
