Marriage of Three in Brazil

“A businesswoman, a female dentist and a female administrative manager have managed to turn the idea of a traditional Brazilian family on its head, after recently making their relationship official before a notary in Rio de Janeiro. ‘We are a family and our union is the product of our love for one another,’ said the businesswoman in an interview with the O Globo daily” (El Pais, October 27, 2015). This is the second such marriage made “under Brazil’s 2003 civil unions law… In 2012, two females… decided to formalize their union with a male architect in São Paulo.” The three women just married are now planning for a pregnancy (ibid.). The notary who recorded their marriage observed, “The foundation of any family relationship is affection… And these three women have everything to form a family—they have love, a strong relationship and they plan on having children” (ibid.).

The Bible reveals that “in the beginning” God created the family to be one male and one female (Genesis 2:24), and this same God says, “I do not change” (Malachi 3:6). Sadly, many today have been deceived into doing whatever is “right in their own eyes” (Deuteronomy 12:8) and convincing themselves that it is “ok.” One day soon, the Lord who does not change will return to the earth and teach everyone to follow the “right” way that leads to life (Matthew 7:14).
