Discussion Board Forum 2
Describe both biblically (based on Scripture) and civically (based on outside research and the Balswick text), why the two-parent nuclear family (with a father and mother) is the best form and institution of family in society. If you do not adhere to this belief, describe your own viewpoint on the same premises stated above. Be sure to cite your sources to support your position. In your responses, comment on and/or challenge your peers’ arguments to help one another refine why each of you believes the way you do.
