About Our focus A strong new global culture for sexuality, marriage and family is emerging. It’s young and dynamic, it’s got love and responsibility at its centre, and it’s the future that’s going to outshine the past. Family Choices is about one thing: welcoming in this future. Sexuality, marriage and family are certainly not the only things that matter, but they are of primary and irreplaceable importance. They are central to the lived experience of intimate love, and that's something we all need. How we live these realities is our choice. They are given shape by what we choose - individually and together. They are Family Choices. We see the 21st Century as a time of immense potential and possibility, a unique time that despite its problems inspires great optimism and enthusiasm regarding the future of our human family and our world. We see the realisation of this potential and possibility as depending directly upon our choosing together to live, think and act in sync with the full reality and value of what we are and what we can be. Our core values LIFE | The events of conception constitute the beginning of the life of a new human person, an arc of development that embraces distinct stages and constitutes throughout and until death an integrated unity: the life of our brother or sister, a life as precious as our own. FAMILY | The family is fundamental and irreplaceable, and the well-being of every individual is closely connected with the family’s well-being. Rich and balanced family life is a unique and inestimable resource, and it provides the individual and wider society with something that nothing else can. MARRIAGE | At the heart of the family is the unique beauty of marriage. Romance, passion, intimacy are grounded in the total decision and commitment of an unconditional, enduring and creative friendship. SEXUALITY | Fascination, attraction, affection. Sexuality is geared to love and gift: gift of self and gift of life, lived with excitement and responsibility. Outside of a context of love and responsibility, the power and potential of sexuality is squandered and persons can be abused and damaged. |
