In just a few years, traditional marriage could lose support under the law. On Wednesday's Focus on the Family radio broadcast, Dr. James C. Dobson and his guests urge pro-family Americans to do something about it.
"This has been an ongoing struggle that burns in our hearts," Dr. Dobson says. "And now, marriage is really on the brink, and I don't know how to emphasize that more."
Joining him on the broadcast are Maggie Gallagher, writer, speaker and president of the National Organization for Marriage; Robbie George, author and professor of law at Princeton University; and Chuck Colson, author and founder of Prison Fellowship Ministries.
"In a couple of years, a third of the country could easily be living under same-sex marriage," Gallagher says. "We have 60, 65 percent of Americans on our side. Why are people so afraid to talk about it?"
Colson says it's time to stand up and fight.
"What alarms me the most is that there's a malaise in the country, where our supporters are giving up on politics," he says. "I think a lot of good people are saying, 'We're going to wash our hands of this. We don't want to get involved.'"
George says time is short.
"I think we have a window of between two and five years," he says. "The collapse of marriage, literally the abolition of marriage, is not 10 years down the road — it's two to five years down the road. It could happen, and it will happen, if we don't step forward."
